Poor editing.

Contributor: TdotY TdotY
Well, I'm not sure why my other post was deleted. Maybe because it had a bad word, but I would like for my question to be addressed. Why are editors putting through junk reviews with lots of errors? Why is the review quality dropping? And also, why was my last discussion deleted? What gives?

Hello TdotY,
Many reviews get published daily by many editors.
It would help to answer if you be specific about what review you think is junk and contains errors. You can also PM its editor directly with the question.

For example, here are two. I'm just wondering why the quality has dropped? Also, why is there no editor for someone below 5.5 rank? Looks like they submitted a review without having it edited. The errors in these two review are pretty hard not to notice.

Editors are to check for spelling and grammar mistakes, plagiarism, and blatant inaccuracies in reviews - but they are not to determine the quality of the content itself. That's for the voters to judge.

As for the rank issue, the admins are reading and editing reviews as needed due to the recent changes. This is why some reviews do not have editors even though their rank requires it.

Additionally, all authors have twenty-four hours to edit their reviews after publication and it is not unheard of for people to go back and change things back to exactly the way they were when submitted.

The first link worked. I checked out the review, although I am not an editor. It seems the editor did the job pretty well though. This is a review similar to what some of my students submit. This reviewer might benefit from the mentor program, but I did not find it filled with errors to the point that it was distracting. It was a review based on the person's experience and it lacked the necessary product details to make it a useful or extremely useful review. As Stormy put it, editors are technical, they don't do style, that's for mentors to help out with.

The review has been edited again. I saw it last night and it had several blatant errors in it. There is actually a comment on it that quotes some of the errors. The second link worked last night but that review seems to have disappeared.

It looks like they fixed the reviews that I told them were messed up, but there was more that had errors. It's obvious that the publisher is not changing them. I just wanted to let you guys know you have an editing issue.
