Percy's page contains some excellent information, but the .PDF files linked to were OCRd either with OCR software that was incorrectly configured, or of poor quality. Therefore any text "highlighted" then "copied" then "pasted" from the .PDF files to another application is very likely to contain many errors.

The Encyclopedia of Homosexuality article I created contains links to .HTML files which have had most (but not all) of the "OCR errors" corrected (though the page scans made from the Encyclopedia are actually the exact same page scans found on Percy's site).

True, it is useful to be able to compare the .PDF files made from scans of the Encyclopedia when referring to the .HTML files in order to be certain there are no errors in the .HTML files, but no-one has yet clearly indicated this in either this article or in the Encyclopedia of Homosexuality article.

I am currently too busy trying to think of how to respond to someone who appears to be attempting to "make trouble," and therefore I am unable to take care of the required corrections myself. User4 (talk) 18:26, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
