FreeBMD Suspect files

The following files have failed one or more checks on the file designed to identify errors in transcriptions. The particular check is given beside each file. However, these checks are based on average or normal attributes of a transcription, therefore if your file is listed here and you believe it is a correct transcription and/or compliant with FreeBMD rules please mail Contact Quality Assurance Coordinator with details. Otherwise, would you either change the filename and/or the contents. This can be done by going to File Maintenance and using Rename, Replay or View/Edit. If your syndicate has specific rules about filenames and/or changing files you should discuss any change with your coordinator first. An explanation of the errors is at the bottom of the page.

Shift+click on a user/filename to view, ctrl+click to predict year/event/quarter from volume/page values in the file.

Links to files for particular syndicates can be found here.

This list was created on 01/09/2010. It is produced approximately weekly.

Explanation of errors

Pages outside rangeThe file contains a high percentage of lines in which the page is outside the range expected for the district (>55% for files up to 50 entries, >45% otherwise). This could be due to the file being for a different quarter from .that specified in the file (CTRL+click on the file to get a prediction of the most likely quarter) or from a failure to use the Uncertain Character Format when the volume and/or page are unreadable. Note that this refers to the current update - changing the file will only take effect at the next update
Too many entries between +PAGEThere should be a +PAGE at the start of each page of the index but there are more lines between +PAGE lines than would normally be on a page of the index
Possible alternative name (alias/or)A name in the file contains the characters ' alias ' or ' or ' indicating an alternative name that should be transcribed as two entries. See here for details.
Unexpected number of entries on pageThe number of entries found between +PAGE lines is significantly different from what was expected. If less than expected this is often due to columns not being transcribed; if more than expected this is often due to transcribing both pages of a double scan as one. Click on the page number to view the scan; if the identity of the scan cannot be determined this will only take to the point that can be identified. Note that this refers to the current update - changing the file will only take effect at the next update.
