I just signed up for the program. Hopefully, I will be able to get in.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa...Editors?

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for the answer; however, I'm either confused or there's a glitch in the program. My current rank is above 5.5 and I've got two reviews that I submitted a couple of days ago that have not been published. Also, I cannot edit them as I used to be able to in the past (I can still edit some of the other reviews).
As I mentioned before, I also submitted several follow-up reviews and only one of those posted instantly. The others still are not there. Any ideas? Thanks!

As far as follow-up reviews, if the are assigned reviews they will not auto publish. They must go through the editing process. Hope that helps a bit.

I just don't understand the point of rating anyway? I mean, what I think would be better. Be picky, let those who want to be part of the program submit a request, give them a fake review, or a real review (or any document) to for them to edit, one that will test them. If they pass, let them be an editor. I just do not see the point of the editor ranking, we have enough ratings with the review program, do we really need more? I just think that someone coming to Eden that has not familiarized themselves with the site goes and reads a bad review, and rates the the editor as poor even though the grammar was perfect. With the review rating system it is pretty obvious, not so much with the editor rating system. I don't know if this has happened yet, but it is a concern.
I think expanding on editors is a fine idea, I am all for the idea. Heck, you can even put their names underneath the reviews "This review was edited by:", but I just don't know about the need for a vote.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but it seems like the voting on the editing will just contribute to the rank that contributors already have? Just like rating our reviews does.

Voting is so that the editor can be evaluated, and possibly taken out of the editor program or kept in. This is what I thought it was for.

Interesting feature. My guess is that if you need to edit a review after the edit link has gone dead you can send a message to one of the admins. My read is that they limit editing because of the contributors that delete their reviews and leave.
11/26/2010
Hey everyone! I am happy to see everyone is so excited. This feature has been in the works for a while, (one of the two big ones I have hinted about). Well, it was actually released a few days ahead of schedule. We had planned on the announcing and releasing on Monday. So, for whatever the reason it is live now. Please check it out, and I will post the official announcement and answer questions in a few minutes.

I'm kinda with you on the 'test' idea (vs. ranking). You either have it or you don't, and you probably shouldn't be editing others if not. Unlike the usefulness/less of thoughts that are described in reviews, grammar and spelling isn't debatable.

I think this is a great idea, as some of us just love the red pen and want to help EF present the best face for other users. I'll need to work my own contributor rank up before I can join, but you can bet that I will!

I like the idea of this editor program, though. Grammatical mistakes and misspellings annoy the shit out of me.

My feeling is that the editor voting is purely based on the grammatical correctness of the review. As long as the review reads well and is correct, it doesn't matter what it looked like before. He/she will have done their job in editing the piece.

My concern is that people will misinterpret and start to judge editors for the content of the review. Perhaps if there were more explanation with the vote, like one of the "i" information icons so people understand how they should be voting. Alternatively, maybe allow only reviewers with a certain rating to cast an editor rating vote. If a reviewer rating of 5.0 is a pre-requisite for becoming an editor, perhaps that should be the cut-off mark for voting as well? The assumption is that at 5.0 a reviewer has a good understanding of grammatical correctness.

I'd love to help, but right now I have my hands full trying to keep up with my own reviews and students, so depending on what we have to do exactly, I'll think about it.
How much of their reviews can actually be changed? Just grammatical stuff and syntax? That I wouldn't mind doing.
