[edit]I am scanning the line drawings and photos to replace the cropped BHL versions; the line drawings are 1-bit 1200 dpi TIFF files. I can process about 25 an hour, so this will take a little while, but I'll upload them to categories (illustrations, photographs) within Category:Tutira - the story of a New Zealand sheep station over the next few days. Then I'll do what I can with rescanning the photos. — Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 23:15, 5 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'm cropping the margins out of the photos. I can do the maps too, or I can leave them to you. If you process the maps that way you do the line drawings, do they look good or not? Eievie (talk) 20:32, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
Typography
[edit]Guthrie-Smith is using an older convention of putting a space before semi-colons and after the first initial in a name "like this ; P. J. Tylee". But we don't need to follow that, and can remove the extra spaces in line with modern formatting "like this; P.J. Tylee". —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 20:27, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
- We have also settled on using “curly” quotes and apostrophes in the validated pages. –Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 20:49, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Images at end of chapter
[edit]The images of this book sometimes appear in the middle of lists. The code doesn't like this. I propose that all images be moved to the end of the chapter, to avoid this. Eievie (talk) 17:37, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Beeswaxcandle Since you unddid this, can you comment on your rational? Eievie (talk) 15:16, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- If you don't have any explanation for it, I'm going to take the images out of the middle of the lists again. Eievie (talk) 21:34, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
