This project page is for reference on general cleanup of the pagespace bot postings of DNB volumes.
- There is now a separate statistics page.
- Special:Indexes for Dictionary of National Biography gives a general snapshot of text creation and advancement.
- Djvu files for those who really want to know more.

[edit] Notes
- ↑ Percentage text added. Apart from vol. 2, text completed generally ranges between 2% and 4%. Text verified and marked is currently negligible. One point is that the project page suggests ligatures should be added; the æ ligature is very common in the DNB. Another point that needs to be visited is the use of strike-through text to show a "diff" for a later edition.
- ↑ The code here is "good" for the Toronto scans, "poor" for the Google scans, and "OK" for the Hyderabad scans that are of intermediate quality. This is the rule-of-thumb only: in some cases the Toronto scan for a page may be so corrupt that another scan works better.
- ↑ The offset is the difference of the djvu file number and the page number in the volume. This ought to be consistent throughout the volume: if it currently is known not to be, the entry is "n/a" and the next column gives details.
- ↑ The bot-generated initial postings have imperfections, to be noted here.
- ↑ Points include: the best scan may not have been used by the bot ("better text needed"); progress in formatting at least all the author templates.
