Volunteer help needed importing reviews by hand

Hey guys,

I've noticed a few mistakes (I don't know who did these, but since the same mistakes are repeating, I'm guessing it's the same person). No big deal, just a heads-up to take care - I made plenty of mistake as I started to learn the system, too!

Title is misspelled, and has been entered with a rating of zero.

That looks like it's a comment, not a review; plus entered with a rating of zero again. Also title mispelled again (apostrophe missed).

That's one of the old system data threads. Somebody has gone in and "featured" the data thread, so it's showing up on the Featured Reviews section.

Again, title misspelled (no apostrophe) and rating entered as zero.

This one is mine. Copied as it was with no apostrophe. I should have caught that.

However, I had a question about that one in regard to rating it. It kinda looks like no more than an extended summary. I do not see any qualifying statements on which to hang a numerical hat. Should it just be removed?
 

I was thinking about one thing while I ported few today. Finding image seems to bog down on the time that it takes to move a review. Since the default image is pretty recognisable and the image can be later on edited, I was thinking if one of the other volunteers would like to do some cooperation. As I already said I have much time on my hands during my work-hours so I can port the reviews in masses. This could be hurried even more if I just ignored the image and someone else would just come and edit in the images later. This would have the advantage of getting the reviews themselves moved faster, which I gather is the priority.

Yeah - that's not a review, it's the product entry from the old product database. Every product in the old system had a product entry (soe long, some short- depends what the publisher posted), and they appear in the data threads along with the reviews and the discussion. 90% of the time, it's the first entry in the thread (sometimes it's the only entry in the thread, if the product had been added to the old database but not reviewed yet).
 






Yes please!

And another question. If there's multiple reviews of the same product, like here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118172 , do we create a new thread for each or post them as replies after the first?

New threads, please!
