Revision as of 15:33, 11 May 2010 by BruceSwanson (talk | contribs) (link change.)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)I am a copy editor and proofreader living in the Los Angeles area. I've begun a blog on proofreading and its management; and have posted a speculative essay on our probable lottery-based, crowd-sourced future, here.
Since many of my edits deal with HIV/AIDS I should probably point out that as a heterosexual male whose only drugs are wine, beer, and an occasional ten-dollar cigar, my viewpoint is merely that of an interested layman, observing from:
| “ | All Misplaced Pages articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources. This is non-negotiable and expected of all articles and all editors. | ” |
and
| “ | Primary sources should not be cited in support of a conclusion that is not clearly made by the authors or by reliable secondary sources | ” |
and
| “ | Primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Misplaced Pages, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source can be used only to make descriptive statements that can be verified by any educated person without specialist knowledge. | ” |
