Your example ( http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Seite:Der_Stechlin_%28Fontane%29_519.jpg ), Tosca, is confirming my point.
If people don't want to correct this page (I understand why, and I guess there are the same on others wikisources), it should be tagged as "Without text" (meaning in this case : without text related to the book). But in no way it could be tagged as "Validated", as no contributor gave any effort on this ! This is very irrespectuous toward other wikisources that apply the "Without text" system.
If you don't like the name "Without text" or think it's not appropriate, then de.ws could change it ; but the principle is right.

Objet : Re: [Wikisource-l] Proofreading
2009/10/12 Syagrius <syagrius@gmx.fr>"Without text" is for the pages that are "Without text". Dot. I don't understand where you see a problem. Every page with some text (even if it is only one line) should be proofread, and every empty pages (like this one : http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Seite:De_Zerstreute_Bl%C3%A4tter_IV_(Herder)_366.jpg ) should not. It is very simple to operate a bot to transform these pages (marked as "WS: Diese Seite ist ohne Eintragungen") into "Without text", exactly as en.ws and fr.ws did. It is just a matter of equity and respect.
Well, things aren't that simple.
For example: http://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Seite:Der_Stechlin_%28Fontane%29_519.jpg
This is an advertisement at the end of a novel for other works from the same author.
Transcribing and proofreading it would be as waste of time, as it is no integral part of the novel.
