Has an editor every incorrectly corrected your article?

I'm Australian, so my (correct!) spelling of words such as colour is often changed to the American spelling. It's annoying, but I guess it's bound to happen considering that this is an American based site.

Opps, just realized that this topic is about the correction of articles, not reviews. Never mind. less

Hey folks!

I'm sorry you're noticing some errors in your articles. I wish you guys would have emailed me or PMed your editors about it directly rather than bringing it straight to the forums, but now that it's here...

We've got a solution!

Within the first 5 days of publishing, your articles can be re-edited by the editor who published it. If it's just plain errors, email or PM the editor who published your article and ask them to fix them.

In the case of ArcaneBlast's semicolons, my suggestion to you is to save your original article in a Word or text file so that you can compare your version to the version we published. This way if something is changed that you think is right, or that you included intentionally, or something like that, you can point it out and ask them to revise.

If you notice the errors, and it's been more than 5 days, email me directly (rayne@edenfantasys.co m). DO NOT PM ME. I need to be able to keep track of issues we have on SexIs, whether it's an editor missing errors, or an author violating the ToS, or a guideline that needs more explanation, and the easiest way to do that is if they're all in the same place.

And as always, please feel free to email me with any question or concern you have regarding SexIs. I love questions and suggestions and I'm here to help!

Thanks! less

I don't normally read over what I post too in depth, but sometimes I subconsciously notice differences. For example, I tend to use semicolons a lot, and I happened to notice that there were none in my post; all the semicolons I had placed were replaced by commas. These commas were between independent clauses with no conjunction connecting them, and were not elements in a series. Basically either a semicolon, or a period would be the best punctuation for that case.

Has something like this ever happened to you? I'm not the biggest stickler for grammar and I make mistakes myself frequently, and while there are some mechanics that isn't common knowledge for everyone (who/whom), editors should have a grasp of these. less
