How to upgrade to a builder?

Posted under General

it's hard to give a definitive figure because generally the quality of the contributions matters more than raw numbers, so someone with many uploads but a bad deletion ratio or someone with tons of tag edits, many of which are later reverted is unlikely to get promoted.

though if you're still interested in numbers, assuming a good deletion ratio (let's say <15%), people typically get promoted at around 500-1000 uploads.

What about translations? I have 3000 notes edits, and almost 1500 commentary edits that are not posted by me now.
I translated so much because a post was deleted in 3 days wrongly, and i complained. But i found out the translation skill now, and there're lots of posts with Chinese text (I am chinese).

If you’re referring to the manual deletion, the correct way to say it is that it was deleted before or in less than or in under three days. Saying it was deleted “in three days” suggests an automatic deletion, which is valid.

I mentioned this before, but you need to be careful when translating. You mentioned previously that your English wasn’t very good, and it shows in both your comments and translation notes. I proofread some of your translations, but without knowing Chinese myself, there’s only so much I can do. That said, I didn’t need to change much in the last comic I looked at that you translated, so it seems like you’re improving. Just make sure you don’t try to take on too difficult than you can handle. Also, if you have any doubts of the quality of your English in a translation, be sure to use check translation so others are more likely to proofread it.

Edit: I just got your positive as I posted this. Thanks! I hope what I’m saying here doesn’t sound too harsh. I do appreciate that you’re willing to help with translating and I hope you continue to improve. Congratulations on the promotion.
