Too limited

The article is limited to data entry issues. Transcription errors occur whenever data is copied, including replication of DNA; n fact such errors are a cause of mutation. While data entry can include transcription errors, not all transcription errors are included within the field of data entry. -- 70.51.164.126 (talk) 15:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
