      <h3>What's this all about?</h3>
  
      <p>For years The New York Public Library has collected maps documenting the ever-changing metropolis. Originally commissioned by insurance companies to assess property value and fire risk, these street atlases contain a wealth of detailed information about a city now largely lost to us: buildings long ago destroyed, streets renamed, whole neighborhoods redrawn or redefined. Making these lost places findable via contemporary digital maps allows us to drill down through the layers of urban change and study the city in profound new ways. But harvesting the data isn't easy.</p>
  
      <p>That's where the Building Inspector (and you) come in. This app is the latest in a series of public-facing tools designed by The Library to extract, correct and analyze data from historical maps. We're training computers to do the heavy lifting, and then distributing the remaining quality control tasks to smart, motivated citizens. The goal? To produce a comprehensive directory of old New York (or, as we like to think of it, a time machine).</p>

                  <h4>How is my work reviewed?</h4>
  
  <p>Every time you inspect a building, you’re essentially casting a vote along with several other Inspectors on whether the computer-detected footprint is a Yes, No, or a Fix. We show the same footprint to at least 3 different people, and every 10 minutes we tally up the votes. If 75% or more agree, that footprint has reached “consensus” and the system removes it from the inspection queue. If the jury's still out, we keep the footprint in circulation until consensus is reached, focusing our collective efforts on the buildings most in need.</p>
  
  <p>The main takeaway here is: relax! Your fellow Inspectors have got your back. It's no big deal if make a mistake once in a while, or make your best guess on an ambiguous case. The community will double, triple, and quadruple check you, and you them. Go Team!</p>
