Maury, I could use some help here—COLUMNS of figures, many of which I cannot read (same for next page). And it doesn't help that they typed perpendicular headings in: I will probably resort to abbreviations & a key.

Or course, NOW I feel like an idiot. I didn't realize the IMAGE link would give me something so much better than the side-by-side guide. Live and (sometimes) learn—Hywel Dda (talk) 17:07, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

My thoughts are always keep on going. When and if something comes up that is difficult to handle then do it last but continue to complete whatever one can without slowing down or stopping. In the long-run someone else may come along and remedy the situation. If not THEN go back and work the former problem. Recently Beeswaxcandle stated you weren't doing the tables as he "would do them". That means he knows how to do them. I have been here since about 2009 and I know the fellow. He does excellent work with complicated tables, &c. If most of the work is done he would "polish it off" as he so often does.

All of the files here came from Internet Archives. I can download any of the pages or the entire file if need be so that any image that that are shown as perpendicular can be rotated degree-by-degree to horizontal.—Maury (talk) 18:22, 1 September 2013 (UTC) <signature added post hoc>

Maury:

"When and if something comes up that is difficult to handle then do it last but continue to complete whatever one can without slowing down or stopping."

I understand your point, but I'm stubborn;

"In the long-run someone else may come along and remedy the situation. If not THEN go back and work the former problem."

Sometimes, I am that "someone";

"Recently Beeswaxcandle stated you weren't doing the tables as he 'would do them'".

That's not my reading of what BWC said. IIRC, he said he could think of several ways to do the tables; so can I. I had nothing in mind about rotating images

I think your reading of my points is off-cut from what I meant, which is why I have clarified above—Hywel Dda (talk) 15:25, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
