What makes a message useful

The most useful messages give the page address, the sentence, diagram or table row in question, and a source that disagrees: a manual with its figure number, a dictionary entry, a collection record or a published study.

Welcome

• Errors. A crossing drawn over that should be under, a wrong figure or plate number, a date, a term used against its named reference, or a caption that claims more checking than the diagram passed.
• Plates and photographs. Public-domain plates from old manuals, or openly licensed photographs of the structures the site covers, with a link to the file page and its license.
• Better sources. An earlier edition, a primary document, or a study that measured what a page only describes.
• Rights. Rights holders and holding institutions asking for a credit line to change or an image to come down.

Not handled here

• Advice on knots for climbing, rescue, work at height, lifting, towing or handling a boat. Formal training and the standards for that work are the place for it.
• Buying advice for rope, paper, yarn or tools, and sponsored posts or advertising.
• Prices, dating or identification of old books or other objects.
• Patterns or step-by-step projects on request.
• Readers' own work, patterns or photographs for publication. The site does not publish reader submissions.

Corrections that hold up are made on the page and listed on Repairs.
