Approved as an Editor

[kenwvs]

Hi All:

 

Earlier today I received notification that I was approved as an editor, and I wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has posted here and provided tips and information on what makes a successful editor. It is the giving of everyone's time that has assisted me in being successful with my application.

If I may be so bold ...

 

How long did you wait to be approved?

I am not sure that the length of time I waited to be approved is a fair question, as I have read in many threads that many variables come into play when waiting to be approved. I will say that I live in Canada, applied for a small topic, and the area I applied for is a fairly popular one, with an active editor.

 

Waiting to be approved can be frustrating, and I am hoping that after waiting, the enjoyment I will get out of being an editor will be worth the wait.

the area I applied for is a fairly popular one, with an active editor.

Since category editors don't review applications, the popularity of a category or the existence of an active editor there would have had no effect on applications, nor would the geographic location of the applicant.

 

Welcome!

My apologies. I didn't get across my point on this. What I was trying to say was that if a person who approves applications is interested and has knowledge in the area I applied, it may be approved quicker than a topic that fewer people (who approve applications) is familiar with.

 

I wass trying to express that the time it took to approve my application is not necessarily an indication of how long it could take others, due to the category I applied in.

 

Sorry for not being clearer.
