Talk:FamilySearch Indexing: US Veterans Pension Cards, 1907-1933, Additional Helps

I'm an arbitrator and indexer and I'm a little confused. The field helps say to index guardians for minors only, but the slide show (#12) gives an example of a guardian (not called a guardian) for an Army Widow. I had not previously noticed that a reimbursement should be on a separate card, and I'm sure I've indexed and arbitrated a few of those wrong. Additionally, the reverse (no extractable data) side of the card sometimes has information which is not on the front (name of widow/ or death date). I've seen this a couple of times. Should it still be NED if there's info there?

Slide 12 is correct- the Mary Moriarty is the guardian in this example. We will try to get the Field Help modified. The backs of the cards are marked as No Extractable data.

Thank you for such a prompt reply! I'm still pondering some of the slides and wonder if you could explain the circumstances for creating a second card for a reimbursement (slide #14) versus indexing the person as a guardian. I realize I'm being a pain and really thank you for your help.
