Genius - What is an Editor? lyrics

What is an Editor? A Genius editor is a contributor who has proven that they can consistently contribute high quality annotations, bios, and can also exercise sound judgment when accepting or rejecting crowd sourced contributions. Each annotation an editor creates, edits, or accepts adds knowledge to the referent and is written with style, without errors in formatting, grammar, spelling, or punctuation. Editors act as leaders on the site by setting a high bar for quality through their annotations and interactions with other community members. This includes providing feedback to other contributors, participating in forum discussions in a mature and constructive manner, and curating and encouraging great content.
