Who has the authority to decide who is assigned as editor for a section or article?
Possibilities:
As the DMCB is committed to the open and free distribution of information, editors must not use their position to advance their own personal, sectarian, or denominational agendas. They should be open to opinions and suggestions from the community of contributors and users, and should remain as unbiased and neutral as possible.
It is understood that editors contribute to the DMCB freely and without compensation, and that they have other responsibilities that may occupy their time. Reasonable delays in reviewing and correcting edits are to be expected.
