MDS-english - proofreaders wanted!

[Manekineko 200]

So, you enjoy Le Monde du Sumo english edition? Well, you may be able to help improving it!

All you need is good knowledge of your mother-tongue - English, some free time and lots of good will. Right now, we have only noble and dedicated Noshinoshima working on it - volounteers are wanted! US, UK, Oz or otherwise - doesn't matter.

Thank you for your attention! (I am not worthy...) Volounteers can either contact me by mail/PM or just answer to this thread, and I'll give them the contact address for further information from MDS team.

Bump.

MDS-e really needs a proofreader or two right now. If you have available time in-between the basho, and fulfill the above-mentioned requirements, please do volunteer. Professional pride and acknowledgment in the article you proofread will be your reward.

Please contact me by mail, PM or otherwise. Thank you!

Edit: oops, an ancient thread.

I can offer my proof-reading services. Ca you give an indication of how much proof-reading we have to do.

[Manekineko 200]

Well, we usually translate 4-5 articles from MDS and PBI per two-month period. Most of them are a couple of pages long, and there are 2-3 proofreaders active at one time, so an article per month would be expected. Of course, if we get enough bored staff, we might expand our translating activities. (Sign of disapproval...)

Is your mail address in your Forum information correct? If it is, I'll mail you the instructions how to join... Thank you!

I am also willing to throw my mawashi on the ... OK, not the most pleasant image, so let me re-phrase ... I am happy to help with the English proofreading for LMDS. Let me know by email, as I am a sporadic visitor to the Sumo Forum. One article per month is no problem!

EDIT: Wow, I've finally reached Jonidan as a poster! And it only took four years!

Hi Manekineko,

I'd be happy to help. While my knowledge of English far surpasses my knowledge of sumo, I think I could help with style, syntax, typos, etc. It'd be a pleasure. Please just mail me any articles with a little advance warning! Best regards.

[Manekineko 200]

Thank you all kindly for volunteering. Hopefully we will have enough proofreaders for a while...

But why stop while volunteering is good? If you know enough French to be able to translate sumo-related articles, please do let me know - we could use an extra translator or two as well... (Laughing...)
