Voted today! It took about eight minutes from my door to dropping my ballot in the box, since I’m lucky to live very near city hall. I’m relieved it was so smooth, since at the last federal election, bureaucratic barriers prevented me from voting at all.

Similarly, a "Captain Normal" instead of "Captain Norman" is an extremely digital error. A totally different kind of problem than "MrJo hn Newmarch".

In contrast, if a letter is lowercase when it would usually be uppercase (e.g. "Right hon." for "Right Hon."), that is always a modern transcription error, not a mistake made in the book.

Today I'm triple-checking that all the carefully preserved typos in my dataset are actually 18thC typos and not modern ones, and I'm noticing that most of the "missing characters" in the original weren't *completely* absent, they are actually periods and lowercase Ls that were replaced with empty spaces.

Having done a little hobby letterpress this seems like an easy mistake to make with those tiny fiddly ones, and I wonder if the mistake actually happened when someone was sorting the type.

@ryancordell.bsky.social I get some mileage out of this one: https://www. joeydevilla.com/2014/04/14/lie s-damned-lies-and-reuters-graph-of-florida-firearm-deaths-before-and-after-stand-your-ground/

@festal @KaiserOfNone Right now I think Wikipedia is trying to avoid the hot-button parts of the issue by emphasizing its already strong culture that information must be accurate, verifiable, and non-promotional. So there’s no need to waste time on the impossible question of proving an AI was involved; whether someone writes garbage by themselves or with an LLM, the garbage has to go.
