I know there have been some changes recently to the quiz editing team.

It is sad to see changes made. I know from experience that working closely with an editor can initially be daunting until they become familiar with our little foibles and quirks, and vice versa. Tizzabelle for one was an excellent editor and I wish her all the best in the future. Sorry to equate her to a pair of smelly footwear, but she was like wearing a comfortable pair of slippers at the end of a hard day’s quiz writing; never hard or cold but warm and always welcoming.

But, a change is as good as a rest, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome new editors to their roles/categories. It must be a humongous task to build up a rapport with quiz authors, both new and established.

Can we have an up to date list of all the core categories and their editors please, or at least confirm that the recent changes have been updated on each quiz category page?

Just a thought for the future in addition to what we already have, but when we create a quiz template under the relevant category, and where it lists the category guidelines, can there be an additional comment which reads something like “The quiz editor/s for this category is/are.....”? It's just an idea wink

If it helps any, the editors listed in each section are correct. If you check VG, for instance, it will say that Eburge and myself are the editors.

I agree that we should have these cleanly displayed; I barely found it in the directories. :p

Something I noticed, when playing quizzes, is that in HTML mode, the editors for the category are now displayed under the title and author under 'Editors and Quality Control:'

As for Tizz, my fingers are crossed it's not the last we see of her. wink

Thanks for the reply, Kyle. It's always beneficial to know the editor for each category in case we have a query. smile
