This is only for the senior members? B)Unless you write some articles and know the feedback of editors, you can't get hold of the procedure happen here. Hence we asked for senior members to join, infact we will give preference to those who wrote some quality articles (a good writer/reader cannot become a good editor).
Even I agree for an editor he/she be good in writing articles. :)
A person who has never written a single article ever will not know what exactly is required and what is expected from other writers so I think that person can never make a good editor!

Yes I agree with you. Editors should have some knowledge also in literature and grammar.

Even after submitting many articles one may not be able to grasp many things.I feel that editors job is the toughest one where you need assess the article and impartially review and rate it ...

A good author may not be good editor and vice versa. But if you have written articles, you know the rules for writing articles, formatting and basic idea. This can help you to edit articles. Here I may give an example. I am not good at cooking but I can say which dish is better. Similarly, if you can judge the quality of article, you may be good editor. In another site, I just wrote five articles but reviewed hundreds of articles. There my GPs (gift points) exceeding one lakh are mainly for review.

Sir your knowledge is unlimited but to review one should have some good english knowledge.

Yes it is indeed a tough job and not easy as many would believe. It really is about constantly research as to changing trends in usage of language and also keeping yourself updated. For instance, the word invite used to be a verb always, but now with more and more corporate lingo in use now, it has now become a noun and you no longer send invitation, but you send invite! So an editor has to be conscious of such changes!

Good knowledge of English grammar and language skills is must for an author and editor both. However, there could be difference in creativity level. An author needs be more creative. An editor needs be better critic and capable of appreciation of articles.

Good example! Also to be a good editor, one needs to be aware of widely accepted different styles of writing and also need to have a good grasp of humor too. I know some who do not understand humor even if it is staring in their faces!!

Thats absolutely right kalyani, an article can become boring when only facts and figures are presented without some humor element in it and the editor should be able to appreciate it :)

But you haven't edited even a single article of mine :unsure:
I submitted 61 articles here till now.
Sir, is reviewing different from editing and what's those gift points? Can you tell me please
I think editors can be categorized according to their proficiency. i.e. An editor who knows well of general articles may not be well proficient in correcting IT articles. Same is the case of other subjects also. The problem is......one editor should be able to correct written errors also, not only grammatical errors. An editor, if doesn't have any idea of the subject may not be able to notice even simple errors.

I do agree, every one does not understand every subject. One who knows finance may not know or dislike house keeping or computers related. Therefore articles should go to an editor who knows her/his subject well. This is not grammar or language specific but subject as well.

The suggestion is okay. But it is impractical to find editors knowing all the topics. An editor is not concerned very much with accuracy of facts in the article. The article is of author. The editor is only responsible to see that Boddunan rules are complied with, there is no copying from other sources, there is proper language and formatting. An editor may also correct obvious factual mistakes and grammar. I remember that in my article, editor corrected spelling of a social activist and also gave remark.

Now that the admin said that in future editors would be responsible for suggesting cash credit on articles, this has become more relevant. There are sites, which are managed manually have their panel consisting of editors who know their subjects.

I agree with your view points. But then we need many editors. If management can do so, this is welcome. Also we need editors for Hindi and Telugu. These language editors will also have to be proficient in various topics. Thus, we may need more than twenty editors covering all subjects and also languages Hindi and Telugu.

also, cash credits should never be based on the total number words...but content. Also, if it's properly presented with good format.
If an editor has the idea of the written article, he can value its importance well. It helps in getting more cash credits to the writers.
Here, at present, I feel, stress is mainly on the word length than its real importance and content :dry:

I believe that the logical way to remunerate the authors is by linking this to revenue. The contribution made by author to revenue of the site would be most logical. But this will require complete change over. The sites earns revenue from advertisements. So, number of clicks on advertisements placed on the articles and revenue received from advertiser would form basis. Here quality of article is not so significant as the revenue that could be realized. Thus an article on beauty care may fetch more revenue as compared to one on Fundamental scientific research. The products like shampoo, hair oil would add to revenue of site. I feel that the site may be assessing probable revenue from article while assigning cash points.

My point is simple. Management does not pay because your article is good. You are paid because you bring revenue. This may be sarcastic but let me be frank. A chaste woman will bring no revenue. But an immoral woman can bring more revenue. This applies to articles also. even if you are paid in lump sum, revenue earning potential has to be viewed while paying remuneration.
