Commas and periods

It is not unusual for a DjVu scan to show a period where there is actually a comma in the original. I have some hard copies of Greek dramas where the printing clearly indented a comma on the page, but because it was poorly inked, it has an unusual shape. DjVu and PDF scans sometimes exacerbate such an error because their storage algorithms silently adjust misshapen punctuation. If you feel a comma/period difference is sufficiently worthy to investigate, you can go back to the raw scans at IA, zoom in, and compare. But even so, sometimes the scan does not have the resolution and subtlety of lighting to catch poor inking. And if the apparent error is worth marking, you can use {{SIC}}. We don't usually mark entire pages as "Problematic" over the question of whether a single punctuation mark is a period or comma. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:28, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Meh. I marked the page "Problematic" to send it to the attention of an expert, not to become an expert. Good day. Plan9fromInnerSpace (talk) 01:48, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
