Page numbers and missing pages

The conversion between djvu numbers and printed page numbers isn't right—the portraits and their blank reverses are not numbered in the book. Also, two text pages are missing after Page:Female Prose Writers of America.djvu/76, and one page after Page:Female Prose Writers of America.djvu/118--Laverock ( Talk ) 13:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

311 to 318

Hi. I might be wrong as I am a newby. I noticed something strange in the Index page. Pages 312-315 are not connected to the right page in the book. As a result some pages are missing and some repeated, e.g. djvu/332 is page 311, while djvu/333 is page 314 and pages 312-313 are missing. After page 316 they go back to normal but then some pages start instead to be repeated, e.g. 316-317 are present twice at djvu/335-338. Mpaa (talk) 21:57, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

You are not wrong - the PDF has the same missing pages/duplicates as well. Unfortunately vetting scan integrity prior to uploading & the subsequent assigning of ready for proofreading status is not a requirement around here. There are fairly easy ways trim the duplicates and insert "place-holders" for any missing pages to mirror the original before any editing is done but once there are pages created it, becomes a real process to manually move the exiting pages around to accomodate the new (and correct) scanned page progression within the bundled djvu's file progression. — George Orwell III (talk) 22:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

)-: I am mostly unavailable for the next few days, and when available it is with limited equipment. I will see if there are alternate editions in which we can source the pages. <mumble grumble> Many thanks for noting that and bringing it here. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

I took the liberty of removing the 2 duplicate pages, shifting the 2 pages in between back 2 pages and inserting 2 place holders for missing scan pages 312 & 313. This keeps all the existing pages in alignment. There are other missing/skipped pages earlier on but, as usual, folks have already found creative ways of ignoring the obvious problem(s) and just kept going. — George Orwell III (talk) 00:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I've now copied and pasted the missing content to the newly inserted blank place-holder page scans from http://www.archive.org/details/femaleprosewrite00inhart scan pages 354-355 (djvu files 374 and 375 there). — George Orwell III (talk) 01:31, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

FWIW... The University of California version (1st edition, published 1852) is available elsewhere but only on a per-page basis (which is just fine for the purpose of adding any missing pages) - see the HathiTrust copy. -- George Orwell III (talk) 21:38, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
