Since 2012, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum has been contributing thousands of images to Wikimedia Commons. This page may be used by Wikimedians to report errors encountered in Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum catalog records so that staff may make corrections. Thank you for your help.

See instructions for adding a report below, or jump to the error reports.

To list an error

The clearer we make this page, the easier it will be for the Ford staff who will use it to fix errors. For convenience, the Ford collaboration will be using the NARA-developed error reporting templates (the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum is a part of NARA). Please use {{NARA error name}} for each file related to your error report. Below this, add {{NARA error reason}} to explain the error. Add new error reports to the bottom of the table.

Use

You may copy and paste this code into the table and fill out the fields:

{{NARA error name
| File = <link to file>
| ARC  = <ARC ID (can be found on file description page)>
| Done = <!-- leave blank--> }}

<If your report relates to multiple files, use {{NARA error name}} as many times as needed to list them all.>

{{NARA error reason
| Reason = <Explain the error here.> ~~~~}}

Example (from the NARA error reports)

{{NARA error name
| File = [[:File:Nebraska (BB14). Port bow, camouflaged, Norfolk, 04-20-1918 - NARA - 533703.tif]]
| ARC  = 533703
| Done = }}

{{NARA error name
| File = [[:File:Pennsylvania (BB38). Starboard beam, underway, 08-23-1935 - NARA - 520584.tif]]
| ARC  = 520584
| Done = }}

{{NARA error reason
| Reason = The images for these records are switched. You can clearly see "U.S.S. Nebraska" written on the photo that has been 
described in the catalog as ''Pennsylvania''. ~~~~}}
