status

indicates the effect of the intervention, for example in the case of a deletion, strikeouts which include too much or too little text, or in the case of an addition, an insertion which duplicates some of the text already present.

Status	Optional
Datatype	teidata.enumerated
Sample values include:	duplicate all of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original, whether the duplication is word-for-word or less exact. duplicate-partial part of the text indicated as an addition duplicates some text that is in the original excessStart some text at the beginning of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted. excessEnd some text at the end of the deletion is marked as deleted even though it clearly should not be deleted. shortStart some text at the beginning of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be. shortEnd some text at the end of the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be. partial some text in the deletion is not marked as deleted even though it clearly should be. unremarkable the deletion is not faulty.[Default]
Note	Status information on each deletion is needed rather rarely except in critical editions from authorial manuscripts; status information on additions is even less common. Marking a deletion or addition as faulty is inescapably an interpretive act; the usual test applied in practice is the linguistic acceptability of the text with and without the letters or words in question.
