Pages not completed by a transcriber may be unlocked for completion by other volunteers. In order to be fair, an Unlock Notice will be posted on the message board as a reminder for transcribers to complete their pages within 21 days of the posting.

This unlock notice may be posted by any volunteer, with a listing of incomplete pages and a link to the sub-district summary page. The name of the transcriber must be listed in the title.

After 21 days, volunteers may request that specific pages be unlocked for completion by posting to the Message Board. The transcriber completing the page may claim it in order to accept the responsibility for making corrections in future as may be required.

Pages only requiring blank lines or less than 5 lines to complete the transcription of the page will generally be completed by site admin assistants and the original transcriber will retain credit for those pages.
