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

Project instructions call for indexing guardian's name for e.g. Army Minors cards, but do not mention guardians appearing on other types of card. In a small number of cases, arbitration created guardian names and I could not identify how the person was determined to be a guardian. (In a few other cases, I was not looking for gdn and overlooked this bit of information.) We are waiting on an answer.

Instructions to create only one record if two cards on an image refer to the same soldier puzzle me. I attempted to delete the second record for an image. First, I could not delete the blank record. I filled in a couple of fields, and then I could delete the record, but it was immediately recreated as a blank record. The presentation and project instructions indicate that cards are not to be combined.

In closing, may I express my sincere appreciation for the superb work being done by the arbitrators who worked on my stuff. Errors there were, despite my efforts to get things right, and a second pair of eyes providing feedback is much appreciated.

There is a discrepancy between the project instruction that show up on the indexing page and those on the overview section of the project update page ( wiki, I think) Instructions with the indexing program  (project instructions on the page as you index) say "Both cards on the history side of an image need to be indexed, even if they seem to be duplicates"

ON the project updates, overview/links page it says ■When the two cards refer to the same individual, there will only be one record per image. This page also says this is a beginning project but it shows up on batch download as intermediate. Page also talks about slide 13 being updated but when the project was removed the presentation disappeared and has not come back
