For some strange reason, I keep thinking tonight was Monday night, and that I was kicking off a marathon for it on *Monday*..... Well, it's Wensday morning and I'm ready to kick it off anyway! Today, I'll be talking about NAB. I'll be interviewing some of our NABers throughout the week too! Sit back, and enjoy!
You're probably wondering what "NAB" stands for, right? It is an acronym for "New Article Booster". A New Article Booster looks at every new wikiHow article and fixes it up, or gives it a "boost".
* Evaluates the article. Meaning, he/she will look over the article and see what needs to be done.
* Fixes it up. Along with copyediting and re-writing, they can check for copyvio, and add related wikiHow articles, images, a video, and all other things you can do whilst editing an article.
* Nominates it for deletion. NFDing for short. They will see if it needs to be deleted, depending on the content. Like, if it's a joke idea of an article, or, if it's illegal, sexually charged, universally impossible, and so forth.Full list of reasons for NFDing an article can be found here.
* A Rising Star means it is one of the best new articles in wikiHow. An NAB will give a RS if it's deserved. http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Rising-Star-Quality-Article-on-wikiHow
* Moves an article. If an article name isn't right, they change it to a new title.
NABs need to have a good eye for any grammatical issues, be kind and coach new users, and are trusted in the community. Read about it here.
Later today will be a few interviews from some wikiHow users, then, the interviews from our NABs! Until then, http://www.wikihow.com
