<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DeLaFe, post: 1635365, member: 18106&quot;]Hey Guys:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the discussion!&nbsp; I am the founder of Coinproject.com, I am on vacation, so I don&#039;t have much time to go into great detail.&nbsp; (Catching up on email this morning)</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several &quot;steps&quot; to moderation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is to edit and approve the records.&nbsp; This entails parsing (separating) the data into its appropriate fields.&nbsp; Obverse and reverse legends and descriptions should go in their own fields, etc.&nbsp; Once the data has been parsed it can generally be approved.&nbsp; This step does not require much expertise and pretty much anyone can volunteer to help us with this step.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second step is verification.&nbsp; This requires that the person &quot;checking&quot; the submissions have some expertise with the issues in question and that they also have the major reference works for the particular issuer or city being verified.&nbsp; The first step is to confirm that the coin described is the coin in the photograph, confirm obverse and reverse legends, the mint, etc.&nbsp; Second step is to physically open the reference works cited and confirm that the citations are correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Doug noted, we prefer that the submitter not be the one to verify their own coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third way users can help is by submitting error reports.&nbsp; Once a user is logged in to the system, there is a link under each record which allows them to submit an error report.&nbsp; This report is sent to the moderator(s) of the issuer/city and the admin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A very slow process, but it ensures a very high degree of accuracy.</p><p><br /></p><p>We can also use help adding records which we are missing.&nbsp; If anyone has a few minutes a week to spare, send me an email and I can walk you through this process.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be back on Wednesday and can answer any questions when I return.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best,</p><p><br /></p><p>Alfred[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
