Job: Editor first, and journalist second.
How Actuve Are You: (misspelled that) Fairly active. I'm usually on at least once a day.
Past Experiences: I'm sure that you know me well by now, so I'm sure that you are aware of my past experiences.
Example Of Work: I'm sure you've seen my work before. I put in maximum effort into all that I do. I'm good with English spelling and grammar - it is my native language.

As an editor, I will try to correct all errors in writing. As a journalist, I might write an article about what's going on in the night sky - I love astronomy deeply. It's kind of like a hobby of mine. If that does not pass with you, then I might simply report on recent events going on in the Melodia threads.

Melodia Secrion Managers: gcenac/Haiming - misspelled that too.

And do I have to log into MelodiaCo to write the articles? Or can I write them on a project of mine and then send the link to you?

XD thanks for the fixes, as usual… And of course your accepted… And feel free to send the link to me… And if you would like to be Melodia Section Manager and replace me that would be great as you are a higher rank and I don't feel like he president should have that job… And would you like editor in chief?

I can handle Editor in Chief. Not sure I'd like to be Section Manager, though. I feel like that would be too much work.

Here's my first issue of “The Planets this Week”. I have no diagrams yet… or any art. I will probably include some after the first few issues.

THE PLANETS THIS WEEK
October 26 - November 1 TheHockeyist (or should it be formatted like 26 October - 1 November?)

The Moon starts the week as a waxing crescent visible low in the evening sky. As the week progresses, the moon will grow larger and move towards the eastern horizon.

Mercury is in the morning sky, rapidly moving into the Sun's glare. It is already very difficult to spot and quickly becoming worse.

Venus is lost in the Sun's glare the whole week.

Earth is… well…

Mars is in Sagittarius, low in the southwestern sky at sunset.

Jupiter is in Leo, rising at about 2:00 in the morning or so. It is very prominent in the morning sky; the brightest “star” there.

Saturn is in the western sky, falling into the Sun's glare fast.

Uranus is in Pisces, visible when the Sun sets. It will appear in the southeastern sky at sunset.

Neptune is in Aquarius, high and prominent in the evening sky.

What do you think? Anything that I could improve upon (besides getting diagrams or some sort of art)?

CORRECTION: I shouldn't have said that Neptune is “prominent”, it's impossible to see with the naked eye. Same with Uranus. It is possible to see Uranus with the naked eye though, but only under VERY favorable conditions. Very dark skies and you have to know exactly where to look. But the location of Neptune in the sky puts it in a good position for viewing. Same with Uranus, although a bit later in the night.

Neptune is impossible to see with the naked eye. It is in a prominent location, but is not prominent itself. You have to actually search for it.
