[Wikipedia-l] Scanos in 1911 articles

[Pierre Abbat]

I brought up the Bábís article and it, like several others, contains numerous 
scanos, some of which I cannot figure out (foreign names). Here is an example:

Of these risings the first ([December 1848]?—[July 1849]?) took place in 
Mázandarán?, at the ruined shrine of [Shaykh TabarsI]?, near Bflrfur6sh?, 
where the BábIs, led by Mullâ Muhammad ‘All of Bârfurfish and Mullfi Husayn 
of Bushrawayh (“ the first who believed “), defied the shah’s troops for 
seven months before they were finally subdued and put to death.

I think that there should be a warning against inserting text with illegible 
scanos in it. Where do they come from? Does anyone have a hardcopy of the 
1911 encyclopedia so that he can fix them?
