   Schools Data Entry Error Check

Bidding Time:
01/07/2008 02:14 - 15/07/2008 02:14
Budget:
N/A
Status:
Closed


Job Type:
Data Entry, MySQL
Description:



ImHosted.com - Affordable Web Hosting

A few weeks ago, I posted the job below. It is now nearly completed and I would
like a team to review the data entered and submit a log of all errors found.
This will involve comparing 3745 records (in a .csv file) to the data source
(http://www.collegeview.com/collegesearch/collegelistbystate.html).
Records are stored .csv file with the following columns:
School Name | City | State or Province | Country | url | logo
You will need to
1) Go to the web address above and compare the data available online to the
information in the .csv file. Extreme attention to detail is mandatory.
2) Browse to each url to weed out dead links.
3) Verify that the logo name correctly matches a file of the same name in the
logo folder, and that the image appears legitimate. To verify matching names,
copy&paste the name from the .csv into a windows explorer window and see
whether the correct file opens. Don't just compare the names by sight.
4) Submit a log of which records contain errors, and submit a corrected record.
To ensure quality, I will intentionaly include some errors and will only accept
your work if all the intentional errors are found and corrected.
Below is the posting of the original job - this is for reference only
====================================================================
This job is extremely simple. It is a straight forward data-entry task.
Create a comma-delimited .CSV file, and a MySQL database with the info below:
School Name | City | State or Province | Country | url | logo
the 'logo' column will be the name of an image file in the same folder.
Data will come from 2 websites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lists_of_schools_in_the_United_States will
list high schools in the united states, by city and state.
http://www.collegeview.com/collegesearch/collegelistbystate.html lists all
universities in the US and in Canada by state and city.
Both websites also have links to the schools' websites, and on the website you
can find the logo. You will need to copy the logo and create an image file from
it.
the Country column will be CAN or USA.
It is absolutely critical that the work be error free, so in your bid, include
time to proofread for mistakes. I will need 5-7 days to check the accuracy and
completeness of the work before issuing final payment.

Thanks,
