Contest entry tagging: is it possible to change tags once you've made them? (Staff: will do) Thread poster: Ambrose Li
|
|---|
Is it possible at all to edit your own tags? Sometimes you thought you highlighted something, and then after you saved the tag you realized that you have, say, only highlighted part of the text you wanted to highlight. Is it possible to correct such errors (say, within x number of minutes, before anyone has commented on the tag, or under some other criteria)?

| Can I agree to a disagreement about my comment and/or delete my previous comment? | Jan 22, 2013 |
I marked a part of an entry as showing bad grammar. A disagreeing comment was posted. And now I see I was wrong. How can I admit my mistake? Can I post a comment that I agree with this disagreement? So that there would be fewer dislikes,received by this person (i.e. minus my initial wrong one?)

And make my point even clearer?

Hello Ambrose and vaglo,
At the moment you cannot edit your tags once they are made, no, but I've just spoken with Matt, one of the site team developers, and he will make it so that you can remove your own tags as long as they have not yet received agrees or disagrees.

Hi, Jared! That's good idea!
Also I would suggest to prohibit making negative comments i.e. "dislike" tags without any explanation.
Indeed - some person makes a dislike comment to some word or phrase with the reason "Other" - and what's next? No way to understand. And the negative impression stays.

Good idea right back at you! Feedback which falls into the "other" category will be more meaningful if accompanied by a comment. I'll see what can be done.

| | | | | Update: tags can be removed by tagger until they receive agrees/disagrees | Jan 22, 2013 |
Hi all,
Just an update: you can now delete a tag you have made on an entry until that tag has received an agree or disagree. If you mouse over the tag, you will see a red X to the top right of the tag text to click on to remove it (you will be asked to confirm deletion).
Alexander's suggestion of requiring a comment on a dislike tag when the type of dislike is "Other" will be implemented shortly.
Jared
| | | | | Update 2: tags categorized as "Other" require a comment | Jan 22, 2013 |
Hi again,
Tags which are categorized as "Other" will now require an accompanying comment.
This has been implemented for both dislike and like tags. Please give it a try and let me know what you think of it, or if maybe it would be best to limit this to dislike tags only.
By the way, over 3,000 tags have been created so far today. Thanks to everyone who is providing feedback and helping to determine finalists and winners!
Jared

TOPIC STARTER | Tagging your own entries? | Jan 22, 2013 |
While we’re at the subject of tagging and disagreements, I’d also like to suggest that perhaps we be allowed to tag our own entries—only with dislikes of course. Sometimes, after seeing how others have translated the source text or how others have commented in a different language pair, it will become obvious that we have made some terrible mistakes which no one has yet pointed out, so I think in such cases it might be helpful to proactively disagree with our own translation.

Dear friend! I believe there is no need for that new feature. Trust me - those "others" whom you mentioned above - they will not need much time to do that for you. They will do it very quickly and with pleasure

TOPIC STARTER | More comments about the critique process | Jan 22, 2013 |
Since we can now remove errant dislikes, should we also consider allowing people to remove errant agree/disagrees? I notice that you can change an agree to a disagree, or vice versa, but not remove it altogether; there’s an inconsistency here and so I think the suggestion to allow outright removals of agrees/disagrees is not entirely unreasonable.

On another note, I found that comments can be silently cut off after pressing the save button. I think this is a real problem, especially given that we cannot remove our comments/agrees/disagrees.

TOPIC STARTER | Partial agreements | Jan 23, 2013 |
I’m not sure if anyone has brought this up before, but in the case of Omission (or maybe also Mistranslation) sometimes I want to give “partial agreement” (i.e., both an Agree and a Disagree). I wonder if this false dichotomy of “either Agree or Disagree” is skewing the critique in any measurable way.
