I noticed this and found that I could really only get tasks when I was on at night with no one else. It wasn't even worth trying during the day.

I would think we would want the editors to be the most available to do the job.

There are almost twice the amount of tasks just for today (and it's only noon) than the max allotted for the 15 (x3) editors for today. That is why I said that. If ALL 15 of us do the 3 regular (non-follow-up) edits we are allowed then only about half of the current amount will be done.

Which is great though because more editors are needed and I know there are quite a few people who want in. less

We average 250 reviews a week. 28 tasks per day have been coming in that require editing, on average. (A total of 508 since 11/25 when tasks started) With 15 editors, at 3 per day, there is more than enough work to go around.

Eventually we will be adding more editors, as well.

There is no rush. Reviews do not have to be published four minutes after they are submitted. If we begin to see a backlog that cannot be cleared up in a day or two, we add more editors.

Easy peasy.

There are people who were making 2000+ points a day before this was modified. That is in no way, shape or form fair - especially since we have SO many wonderful writers here.

Some days more reviews come in than others. If the reviews that come in on Monday don't all get done on Monday, they'll get done on Tuesday when less reviews come in. It's not an issue - but the fairness factor was.

As always when we start a new program - like Mentors and points - it takes some adjusting to make it fair and some people start out with a bang, taking every point they can get. It's our job to fix that.

We have - in a way that works with the average amount of reviews that come in.

We do have basic math skills. less

Let me clarify myself. In a way, mentors are editors since they may edit reviews and accept final work, however the difference is that Mentors cannot access tasks on task market until EdenTasks Service is activated in their accounts. If this is an issue of a label we can consider to change it. less

I have a feeling that you will see errors due to the fact that not all the editors seem to agree on all the rules of the English language (I have seen some of the same editors allow the same mistakes over and over). Perhaps we should have a -correct grammar rules reference page- of some sort so there is less confusion and more consistency among all of us?

I have a bunch of my own. I can draft one if it would be helpful. I had another editor have me look over something they edited and there were over twenty things they missed (most of them were the same). I explained the errors and that seemed to help a lot. Sometimes, it is just a reminder that we need.

The other day I psyched myself out on the rules of quotations! It drove me nuts lol. I had to go look it up. less

As I understand it, the point of the program is to make reviews easily readable and more understandable to our customers and to our community. There are many, many rules, preferences, and styles of English writing and while we could get into the nitty gritty details, I don't think that's the point of the proofreading program. Is a review readable? Are words spelled correctly? Does a sentence make sense? These are the things I think about when editing a review. While I may make adjustments to punctuation and usage, my main focus is improving clarity for the readers. less

A quick reminder, since we're on the subject of quality vs quantity.

Editors, please be sure you are looking over your own reviews very carefully. Because they auto-publish and you also have editor status, your own work is also held to a certain standard.

I'm seeing more errors on the recent reviews of those who are editors than anywhere else, unfortunately, and this looks horrible. Gross misspellings, misused words, missing words...

Your own work first, guys. THEN edit others. less
