Another consideration I may not have ever mentioned before&mdash;when I transcribe, I try to reflect the spelling as accurately as possible, even if there's a misspelling. You never 100% know if a misspelling was intentional or not, but I like to capture that little quirk. For instance, in Donatello (IDW Macro-Series issue)/Transcript, "" is mentioned. My exact code is: Adding the invisible "sic" comment (not invisible in the source editor) tells other editors that I transcribed this misspelt name verbatim and was aware of it.

Ultimately, I don't know if this is the best or most likable idea. But it's what I've been doing. It's not my role to fix someone else's production, but to reflect it as-is, including the errors. Of course, many errors many be mine&mdash;typoes and such during transcription&mdash;which is why I include the "sic" comment when transcribing terms I specifically recognize as misspelt in the source material.
