Dataset Quality

If you notice an incorrect or low-quality element in the dataset, please open an issue to report the problem and/or open a pull request that resolves the issue. Problematic elements include but are not limited to:

• misnamed images
  • a name does not match the word represented by an image
  • a name is misspelled
• poorly cropped images
  • the shorthand form in the image is cut off
  • excessive white-space exists around the shorthand form
• images with stray marks (such marks should be whited-out)
  • the image contains scan artifacts
  • the image contains parts of adjacent shorthand forms or text

If you notice an error in the Grascii form for an image, open an issue in the dictionaries repository instead.
