DP-feedback
What is dp-feedback
dp-feedback is a username shared by a group of Distributed Proofreaders volunteers who provide proofreading and formatting feedback on request. Although this assistance is most often requested by P1ers, P2ers, and F1ers, all volunteers are welcome to ask for feedback.
Why use dp-feedback
While checking your diffs is a good way to check your work, some projects take time getting through the next rounds, and some diffs are not always self-evident, so more immediate feedback is available by submitting a request to dp-feedback.
The feedback you receive will range from how to handle specific issues, to flagging things that have been overlooked, through to acknowledgement that your work is fine, without issue, if that is the case.
How to request feedback
To submit a request for feedback, please use this internal DP form.
You will be presented with a list of the recent projects that you have worked on. Select the project where you would like feedback on your work.
You will then be shown a list of the pages you proofed or formatted. You may select up to 10 of these pages for feedback.
You may also type a message to feedback team with any specific questions or comments.
Finally, you Send the request, which will then be delivered to the feedback team.
A friendly volunteer will get back to you, usually within 24-48 hours, allowing for time-zone differences. Although each request is limited to 10 pages from a chosen project, there is no limit on the number of requests you can submit.
Feedback is usually sent as a private message to your DP inbox.
