Transcribing Guidelines: Reddit Posts & Comments
Reddit Posts & Comments
Only transcribe karma points and awards if it's referenced or relevant to the post (for example, a person says "Wow, thanks for all of the awards", or comment about the number of votes). If there are a lot of awards and you don't know what they are called, add the number of awards instead (ex. 5 Reddit awards, 2 gold, 1 silver or 8 awards)
Special Notes
-
If any details are missing, just state that it is Unknown Post/Redditor/Subreddit. You can also use the color of the redaction as the name if they are unique colors for each user.
-
Do not write u/Redacted, u/Username, etc. in your transcription – these are usernames of actual Redditors, and will cause your transcription to be automatically removed from certain subs that do not allow personal information. If usernames are redacted, "User 1/2/3" can be used as "names" in bold starting with the first redacted name.
-
"User Reports" should go underneath whatever is being reported (directly under the post or directly under the comment if the comment was reported).
-
When you have to write subreddit or user names in the body of the post or comment, place a backslash before the first forward slash in order to avoid mentioning or linking to the user or subreddit. For example:
``` \/r/TranscribersOfReddit
\/u/username ``` becomes
\/r/TranscribersOfReddit
\/u/username

Comments
Try to keep the comments nested the same way as the image shows. For each new nesting level, add another >. If usernames are visible in the post, make sure to replace User 1 etc. with the user's username.

PICTURES OF GREENTEXT:
Special Notes
-
The chevrons (>) in greentext are actual chevrons, and not markdown versions to show a reply. They need to be escaped with a backslash: \>
-
If a post or comment is talking about "dubs" or "trips," this refers to the last few digits of the post number: two repeating numbers in a row are "dubs," and three are "trips."
-
Only include the timestamp if it is relevant to the post.
-
When writing the username and timestamp headers in Greentext threads, only include the date if either changes.
-
Time is written in 24h style.
-
Please format the date in whatever style/order is provided in the source content.
-
Greentext timestamps are given in hh:mm:ss, but unless two posts are made in the same minute, do not include the second.

Transcribing Guidelines: Art and Images without Text
ART AND IMAGES WITHOUT TEXT
Please attempt to give a general idea of what the image is. Add as much detail as you feel is necessary, but be descriptive. Imagine describing it to someone who can't see the picture.
NOTE: The template shows how to format the content, not which order you have to follow to transcribe a post! If you're not sure where to start, give a brief overview then consider what first drew your attention, that's probably a good place to start!

Creating a Wiki
I think that the first thing we need is to create a wiki for templates, personally I found them really helpful over on the other site.
