I have not been editing on the wiki for very long (mainly when I found out about it) but I am a very fluent English speaker/writer, am good with spelling and grammar, and am very good at making awkwardly translated/worded sentences easier to read while preserving the overall meaning. I am a college grad, but unfortunately I only speak English. The story just has to be able to keep my attention (series like SAO, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Regios, Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu, Hidan no Aria, Infinite Stratos, Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi, and Shakugan on Shana). If you could use help just tell me, especially if it helps take some of the burden off of the translators and lets them work more quickly!

I would especially like to help with SAO, I really want to know what will happen to Asuna and Kirito next so if some extra help can let that happen just ask for the help.

I have no user name to speak of. No idea how to work the wiki editing and never had any editing experience. Had been a follower of Baka-tsuki website since about two years ago.

Have almost no knowledge of Japanese to speak of. Fluent in Indonesian and English.

I had been following quite a lot of the translation, starting from the original Haruhi series, then moving to Kaze no Stigma, Chrome Shelled Regios,

Ghost Hunt, Hidan no Aria, kara no Kyoukai, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, Pui Pui, Ore no Imouto, Read or Die (almost no updates), Rental Magica, Seikai no Senki, Shakugan no Shana, Swords Arts Online, To Aru, Toradora and Zero no Tsukaima.

I had only been a reader so far, and I read lots of them.

I noticed there are quite a lot of typo errors mostly, without ways to correct them.

I am in just to read the translations. But it always frustrates me when simple mistakes are made. Therefore I am offering myself to proofread and edit whenever necessary.

I log here multiple times almost daily except in case of extreme schedule.

Inform me of procedures and how to work the stuff in [email protected]

I would like my own reading experience to be enjoyable. It will help the rest too eventually.

Everyone can correct typos in the wiki, even you if you see those - you just have to be registered in the wiki.
Please don't mind my bad english since I'm german.

I don't have a lot of time as I am in college and job hunting, but I would like to volunteer as a novel editor. I haven't posted any of my work, but I have been working on Chrome Shelled on my own computer to make it a bit more readable and consistent. I can only do english. Wiki is same as forum.

If all your asking is for me to do minor fixes and such, I can keep an eye out while I read.

Resume:
96% English 105
Over 4k (western) novels read, 300+ pages each. I read about 130 pages an hour.
Currently planning several books for fun. Could use the experience of critically editing published work.

Hey!

I can't read Japanese or Chinese to a great extent, however I am currently in the process of learning Japanese.
If it's fixing translated sentences, I can help. Not to mention that I have a slight (or perhaps major) case of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) <~ I believe they changed the name of that too. Oh well?
Anyway, I've read through quite a few books on baka-Tsuki and picked up several grammatical mistakes that I'm DYING (Literally T_T) to fix!!

My name is the same as here as on baka-Tsuki.

If it's English, I have confidence. NO! I guarantee a superb 110% job!
Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I can sweep through the current projects and fix mistakes here and there.
I'll be on for a long time~ I'll be sure to tell someone if I plan on going missing~ 6_6 so anyway, I'm up for the job. Just ask anytime.

I just joined, and, I feel like a plankton taking shots at a blue whale. Well, Here goes;

I'm not sure if there's a difference between a "project-wide" editor, and a normal one. Working alongside a translator to bring over anything would be a good shock for me; no wide knowledge of light novels. I just want to learn, and get better at what you all do. So, with that proclamation, I throw myself at this opportunity. Catch!
It depends... Do you like, root beer?
