Archive:VOCJ53 Proofcheck

We need to check VOCJ53 before Kathrin submits it to the publishers. This is our last chance to make corrections - we receive a proof back from Hemlock, but that is for us to check for their errors not ours. This must be done in 1 day - Thursday - as Kathrin must make corrections Thursday night before submission on Friday.

What to check for, how to do it

In principle all the editing is done. We are not checking for grammar/spelling - we are checking for typesetting errors. Replace the "volunteer needed" with your name, do it, and then put any discrepancies down here on the wiki. Ideally each task would get done twice by two people... Write both the page number(s) and the error.

Sections/things which need checking (and volunteers to do it)

Check page numbers

volunteer still needed

• all pages are in order and correctly numbered

Check table of contents

Veenstra will do it, still need one more

• Does title/author match for each article in TOC and on the article itself
• Is the page reference correct
• Is the article in the right section (don't nitpick - just looking for mistakes, not choices you don't agree with)

There's a few typos on the article titles, I'll point them out as since they are high visibility I think they are worth correcting.

• • Losing my virginity to VOC should be to "the VOC", although it might imply group sex instead of just with mr. VOC. The title should also be fixed in the corresponding page.
  • Mt Hood should be Mt. Hood (nitpicky, but again just because it's the index)
  • Searching ForcEearly turns
  • Cycling the pacific coast is missing CA
  • Mt Blanc should be Mt. Blanc in both articles (for consistency)
  • Frenchitlan should have all words capitalized (consistency again)
  • 12 Month in the VOC should be "12 Months"

Check the following sections

• Does the text make sense? The text may be in the wrong order, especially across pages.
• Do photo captions make sense? The wrong caption may be put with the wrong photo.

- At least two of the photos are repeated, dinosaur and hairy Ran. It probably isn't worth changing it though. In general I didn't notice anything wrong with the captions. -Ignacio

• Are photos/illustrations matched with the correct article? (except colour photos, which are all printed in the same place to save money)
