I have noticed that many of the reviews would benefit greatly from some editing. Before I starting working on them, though, I thought it would be a good idea to ask if the cleaned-up reviews would be useful. I'm not saying that I'm perfect, but a lot of the reviews need work. So... Would it be all right if I did that? :wondering:

Please send Personal message to Juanca
It seems to me that we will have Grammar squad

[Adamg]

Alrighty, thanks again Romano!

[Juanca]

I am in.
If anyone (English native writer) wants to help, you are wlecome.

Well, we tried to create Grammar Squad last summer, so if you are searching other people look into this thread
Return of the Grammar Squad.

It would be great to see the Grammar Squad return, yes.

Ok here is my idea for anyone who wants to help.

1.You choose an updater and go through all his reviews one by one.
2.You pm him and show him your work (send him one by one gradually the reviews edited to make it less painful to read), if he agrees on your work you let him upload your review edited.
3.Then pm Romano for the payment.:amused:

I have chosen Sebatianos as he is the big fish with reviews, and I have already started a messaging with him. I am also working on the latest news (there are some mistakes that have already been submitted)

I think there is no need of selecting the squad, as i believe that the ones who want to do this work are persons who are sure they know how to write in English and anyway you will need the approval of the reviewer.

Please inform other members of the Grammar squad team if you already chose an updater to avoid doing the work two times (i think the best way is through this thread.

Ok...to work...let's see how many are we?:amused:

I agree that the original writers should always be contacted to approve of any changes. If their review was changed without their approval, or the meaning of sentences were to be altered into something they didn't intend, it could make them angry.

I know that if I wrote a review, no matter if it was poorly written or not, I would be rather upset if I wasn't contacted for approval of the changes. A lot of our reviews need some work though. It would be a massive undertaking to edit them all, but we should try to do what we can.

P.S. - I've noticed that Abandonia Reloaded has very well written reviews. Let's see if we can do even better. :amused:

I assure you it will be difficult to contact all reviewers, many of them are disappeared from this forum since years.

I'm still convinced that if you really want a Grammar Squad you need an "Identity" first. It's necessary to have a forum group and perhaps a little hidden forum where you can discuss about reviews and take decisions on the matter.

I agree with David.
