I haven't seen any country specific threads there though. Should we encorage posters to start submitting them?

P&S, doesn't specify that it is only in relation to any one country. I think it would be encouraged as you're also helping teach the member, how to find the appropriate boards to post on.

That still leaves the problem of the member posting his original work that has been edited by another member. I have a selfish interest in wanting to publicise my translation project, and hopefully that will attract more members to submit articles.

Why not ask them to wear a SIG linking to your project? I also can't see there being anything wrong if at the end of the post they had a snippet to this effect.

"The content of this post was created by OP. Language assistance provided by Jet Cash and the Ivory Tower Project, " I'm sure you'll come up with something better but this would seem to cover your bases and keep things transparent.

I would also like to see more discussions about the internal strife in some countries, but I'm not sure if that is a dangerous path for the forum to take.

I think it is a topic like any other that should be discussed. In the proper boards it can be an enlightening experience, but there will undoubtedly be some heated discussions. It will be up to the moderators to make sure that the level of discussion is inline with forum policy. In all honesty some of these types of threads are created recklessly and haven't resulted in any catastrophe that I'm aware of to date.

Thanks for your reply. It's a while since I loked at the political board, as it was a pretty bad spamfest. I've just been there, and I agree that it looks as if Flying Hellfish is doing a good job in tidying it up. Letting the member post there would seem to be the easiest option. I haven't seen any country specific threads there though. Should we encorage posters to start submitting them? I guess that is a question for FH to answer.

I have only heard you mention your project, and haven't actually checked it out.

I'm just wondering who will carry on the conversations for the topic. Are you planning on continuing to help the content creator respond in English?

Personally I don't think the post should be placed in "Ivory Tower", it just feels like it would be circumventing the permissions for the board. I think you should help OP and then have them post in P&S, as Hellfish is doing a great job of reviving that board.

This way OP can post it under their own profile and their is no issue regarding a false positive for plagiarism. Ultimately it is your decision, but if you do go the route of posting their content, I would suggest keeping an archive thread active. This way you can archive every user you assist, and place the links there. This will show that there was an educational/tutorial relationship.

Good luck with another Jet Cash project.

Can you guys give me some advice please? As you know, I've been running my Ivory Tower translation project, and this has given me a bit of a problem. I've been discussing the political situation in a troubled country with a junior member of Bitcoin Talk. He has written a background description to introduce the current political difficulties. English is not his first language, and I plan to tidy it up and sanitise his description. There is no plagiarism in his work. I want him to make a post that I can award with merits. The whole thing seems to be a minefield if we are not careful, especially as there is no local language copy of his work. It seem there are a number of options.

- He can post on the political board, and I can clip a quote in Ivory Tower
- He can make the post in serious discussion
- I can post the whole article in Ivory Tower, and give him a credit. ( I don't like this option, as it is not my work ).

Should the guy add a comment at the end of his post stating something like "This article was submitted to the Jet Cash Ivory Tower project". I think this would ensure that there will not be accusations of plagiary as a result of misunderstandings.
