== Editing Articles for a Class ==
 +
 
 +
Hello,
 +
 
 +
I’m an MS student of technical and professional communication at Arizona State University. For a class, I need to edit at least sixteen pages of content for a client who will inform me about what to edit and how. Could one of you administrators be this client for me?
 +
 
 +
Sarna already has resources for people to edit articles, but in addition to those resources, I need to communicate directly with a client for the class assignment. Naturally, I’m not charging anything and am a BattleTech fan who uses Sarna.
 +
 
 +
Thanks,
 +
Mark R.
 +
 
 +
:Always ready to help a fellow BT fan, and also happy about every contributor here. But I'm not sure if I understand the rules that apply here - can you explain the what & how guidelines we should give you a bit more? [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] ([[User talk:Frabby|talk]]) 16:07, 7 June 2021 (EDT)
 +
 
 +
Of course I can.
 +
 
 +
My assignment is to find a real, live person with at least one real document needing editing. As a real person, you only need to do three things:
 +
(1) Convey to me your needs and wants for the finished product. This can be as simple as telling me to follow the instructions for editing articles, which are found in these locations (let me know if I missed anything): https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Help:Cleanup?fbclid=IwAR20j-5uqJOUomvyGGl-tKVUcdLkctLm8PzyN4gOkkq41TsWgG0a5rbgtN0, https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Category:Cleanup, https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Policy:Manual_of_Style, and https://www.sarna.net/wiki/BattleTechWiki:The_perfect_article.      (2) My professor may send you an email because she wants to verify that you are a real person. Respond to this email, and prove you are real.
 +
(3) After my work is complete, receive an email from me that details my editing goals and objectives and how I met them.
 +
