Archive user Kenneth Sherwood pointed out that our transcription of p. 37 of the 1867 edition of Leaves lacked several words. As it happens, I recognize this as a long-standing problem that originally occurred c. 2000, when a Python programmer created a script to help us automate line-end tagging but that had the unintended side-effect of deleting any text that occurred between a mid-line hyphen and a line-end hyphen. Other occurrences were corrected at the time, but this one obviously got missed. The words have now been restored to the transcription.

I noticed a superfluous comma in Alan Helms's essay "Whitman's 'Live Oak with Moss'"; in Hershel Parker's essay "The Real 'Live Oak, with Moss': Straight Talk about Whitman's 'Gay Manifesto'," I noticed that an "o" had been substituted for a "0"; in the same essay, Ken noticed that two words had been omitted. Appropriate corrections have been made.

The directors noticed that the link to Whitman's biography on the homepage was broken. I have fixed the problem.
Stefan also noticed that there were a number of missing images in some marginalia manuscript transcription files:

Ken noticed that Matt Cohen's name hadn't been added to the listing of project directors in the first item on the site's FAQ page. I have added Matt's name and updated Ken's email address.

Stephanie Blalock noticed that there was a duplicate page image in the final installment of "Manly Health and Training"; in the issue of December 26, 1858, page 3 of the New York Atlas appeared twice and there was no view of page 4. I have corrected the error.

I noticed that only some of the installments of "Manly Health and Training" noted that our digital images came from the American Antiquarian Society. I have now credited the AAS in the metadata for all installments, found here.
