Article Editors

Article editors are responsible for maintaining a high degree of quality, accuracy, and comprehensiveness in articles. The text of an article should not be considered to be a statement by its editor. The content of the DMCB comes from many contributors. The editor's job is to ensure that what appears in an article follows the guidelines of the DMCB and to mediate any disputes over articles' content.

Outline of Editing Policies

Here will be an outline of the editing policies and a description of how the named editor process works on the site.

Who has the authority to decide who is assigned as editor for a section or article?

Possibilities:

• The two co-editors of the DMCB, in consultation with the community of contributors and users, make the decisions
• Once editorship of a section or article has been assigned, it should normally remain under the same editorship unless the editor wishes to hand over responsibility, or if they have been consistently negligent in maintaining the article(s) under their supervision

As the DMCB is committed to the open and free distribution of information, editors must not use their position to advance their own personal, sectarian, or denominational agendas. They should be open to opinions and suggestions from the community of contributors and users, and should remain as unbiased and neutral as possible.

It is understood that editors contribute to the DMCB freely and without compensation, and that they have other responsibilities that may occupy their time. Reasonable delays in reviewing and correcting edits are to be expected.
