Yeah, thanks. I did not realize there was a 'rotation' of editors that are selected at 3 month intervals.

If people have suggestions of new items to add to the FAQ, please post them here and they can be added. Based on some new questions that arose with the latest round of editors, I asked Sammi to add the following:

I was declined for an editing position. Now what?

If you were declined for the current rotation, you can re-apply immediately for consideration in the next rotation. For contributors that have previously participated in the program, you may simply state that you are interested in participating again as an editor. For those that are declined, this is not necessarily a reflection of your skills as an editor. Each rotation, there are many more qualified applicants than available positions for editors.

OH!

Just to let people know, there were some updates that didn't make the Proofreading program instructions. I updated them the other day.

Thorough information like this should really be in the Tasks section with the guidelines.

I've submitted a review back to a contributor and I'm just a little fuzzy on how it works now. I understand that so long as I hold onto it that it counts towards my daily allotment and I won't get any points until the contributor submits it back to me and I publish it. But... tomorrow is a new day.. will I be able to edit any other reviews while I still have this one waiting around in my tasks? When I do end up getting it back to publish, will the points I then get be considered part of that days daily allotment?

You are only allowed to hold one review/type a day. So if you hold onto it, even into the next day, you cannot accept another unless you release or publish it. And unless the system has changed, you can only publish 3 reviews daily, even if you held it from a previous day.
