This is the Message Centre for Global Village Idiot << Harp-n-Body broken link ? >> Subject: Thanks Posted Jun 19, 2000 by J'au-æmne   Posting 1 For subediting my entry on Evensong. Joanna Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Thanks Posted Jun 19, 2000 by Global Village Idiot This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 Just doing my job, Ma'am Seriously, it's always a pleasure to read knowledgeable and well-written articles - that's why I became a Sub. Anyway, ones as well-written as yours don't give an editor a lot of headaches, I hardly had to change a word. If only it were always that simple .

I enjoy reading good entries but I like my perogative to close the window on an entry I don't like and forget about it. I know its your job but I've noticed a lot of people give negative feedback about changes subeditors have made...

I didn't recieve any e-mail about it being rejected! The One they Call The Slart ([Broken link removed by Moderator]) RE: Above, Its a new site, it needs plugging! Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Thanks Posted Jun 23, 2000 by Global Village Idiot This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 The procedure is, we just sub-edit pages and return them recommended for rejection or acceptance (or as a "maybe"). Sometimes the in-house editors don't agree and decisions (either way) get reversed. Sometimes the in-house eds decide to re-edit it if we didn't do a good enough job. Sometimes they jiggle around with the order in which articles are created so that they can release a controlled number each day, rather than a big burst followed by days of inactivity. Sometimes the system breaks down and articles get "lost" - we'd best keep an eye out that hasn't happened this time. Unfortunately, we subs don't get any feedback as to which of the above have occurred (something I've moaned about for ages), so I'm afraid I can't tell you.

Oh... I'd forgotten about that one... Conversation list Conversation list
