Subject: Any subs finished subbing entries?
Posted Mar 13, 2012 by Online NowGnomon has the right to say: 'Thus far shalt thou go, and no further'
Post: 1

It seems a while since I've got any entries back from the subs. I know some of you are working on entries, but I've had to edit quite a few myself just to keep the Front Page ticking over.

Would any of you like to finish off what you're working on and send it back?

I just discovered that I've been sitting on Dmitri's Entry A87735748 Zog Nit Keynmol - I am happy to send it back, but puzzled as to whether the song lyrics should be italicised? and also that they have a lot of </BR> at the end of each line of the song. I realise this is why I was not sure what to do with it and have 'overlooked' it so far.

Advice please smiley

In thepost we use <BR/> tags at the end of lines in Poems and lyrics as well as in blockquotes. From what I know, it'sn the same for edited entries:

(we usually put the <BR/> tags at the end of each line, but the result is the same). smiley

I think it should be italicised, as that's what we susally do in blockquotes. Not sure about Dmitri's entry, as the song is in a table. Maybe italicise the original and let the translation as it is?

Yes, that's sort of what I thought Bel - it is the table that is making me wonder. I think the original would look better in italics?

I think the song should be in italics, but it makes sense to have the translation distinguished from the original, so you decide which of the two you want in italics.

<BR/> is normal in poems, as you need to move onto a new line at a point determined by the author, but not leave a blank line. Normally we use <P> and </P> to move onto a new line but this leaves a blank line which is not suitable for poetry.

I still have all the Superman entries in PR which I'm subbing and would rather not take any more entries until they are returned smiley

Thanks, GB. I wasn't so much asking subs to take on more, just to try and finish what they've got. And I know you're working on yours.

Sorry, I completely forgot I had one, and am about to start a week off. I had some queries and was waiting to be added to the forum on the Nosis site so I could check. I'm also subscribed to this page with the wrong account. sorry

Can I send it back, as I'm not going to get a chance to work on something that's got queries. If you've got something more simple I could probably get that done.

Hi Mina

We can add you to the correct forum, but we need to know the name you have signed up to Noesis under please. If you've not signed up please go to: http://forum.noesify.com and then drop me a message to let me know your user name over there. I can't see anybody by the name of Mina over there, so haven't been able to get you added.

But I still won't have time for this entry now, so can I send it back? Sorry the last I heard the only person who could add me was in hospital, and I forgot while I was waiting. I'll need a link as well, to the forum?
