Missing pages are not missing edit
The original print does not seem to have had pages numbered 297 or 298. The sentence which begins on page 296 continues onto page 299. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:40, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- If you consult the list of illustrations, pages 297 and 298 should be pictures. The pages are therefore missing. Chrisguise (talk) 14:21, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- Illustrations are listed in the contents, but that does not mean that no error occurred in printing. It is not clear whether the pages existed in the copy from which the scan was made, whether the pages were accidentally omitted from the scan, had been removed from the physical book by a vandal, or whether the publisher failed to include them in this or multiple copies of the book. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- The scan at Hathi Trust, which is the same edition, has the missing pages. Chrisguise (talk) 15:24, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

 | The following pages in this file are missing: 297, 298. Placeholders should be inserted so that when the pages are inserted, existing content will not become misaligned. |
So, I'd like to put in the missing pages. How do I do that? I can't edit the file- can someone guide me or link me to the guide? --FPTI (talk) 05:49, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- I can do it for you. Chrisguise (talk) 07:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay. Thank you! The missing pages are c:File:Pg_297-_20_Hours_40_Min_full.jpg and c:File:Pg_298-_20_Hours_40_Min_full.jpg. -- FPTI (talk) 01:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- @FPTI @EncycloPetey I have added the missing pages to the scan file and uploaded the revised version to Commons. The pagelist on the index page has been updated. However, the pull through to Wikisource is behaving oddly at the moment, despite repeated purges of both the Commons page and the file page on WS.
- Everything up to /298 (i.e. to p 296 of the book) is OK.
- Page /299 (the first of the missing images) continues to display page 299 of the book rather than the picture of Earhart on the footplate of a railway engine (but the small image displayed by the {{missing file}} template does show the first of the missing pages).
- Page /300 (the 2nd of the missing images) is displaying correctly.
- Page /301 displays (correctly) page 299 of the book
- Pages /302 to /322 are correct (I moved the previously transcribed text)
- The problem is not with the scan file, as I have downloaded it from both the Commons page and the WS page and the two added image pages are in the correct place and display properly. Chrisguise (talk) 07:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Don't bother adding pictures edit
I have all of them already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I'm on it. Should be done by 25 April. -- FPTI (talk) 07:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
