OpenPolitics.ca : editing centre

One of several volunteer centres

Some editing centre concerns:

taking over things the copywriting centre is consistently screwing up, and letting the research centre take over things the editors screw up
changing OBVIOUS bad page names, e.g. "Summary", to fit the naming conventions and prevent inevitable name clashes or confusions
reminding trolls of Terms of Use
GPC wiki training level 2 - actually training real editors
Living Platform and GPC vocabulary and translation - what can be in Simple English? What just requires more words?
ensuring the list of policy terms is complete given the list of platform proposals found in any and all platform planks
finding uses of unnecessarily coined or invented terms if there are near-equivalent terms that already exist in mainstream dialogue - work with research centre to establish "which terms to bet on"
exploiting google rank? and Trillian Instant Lookup to help to coordinate editors, track meaning of Party-specific terms, and ask researchers and legislators for opinions on difficult problems
finding out what Issue Advocates need and getting it done for them
adding links to Issue Advocate statements, press releases and position papers - identifying personal positions and asking those who author them under generic names to change those names
participate in routine answer recommendation especially Answers to Questionnaires, Policy FAQ handling, and policy comparison, without upsetting researchers, legislators and Issue Advocates too much - do as much pre-work for these as is possible
