1. Identify the picture and win a listing or sponsor an article
Every month we'll publish a picture that already exists somewhere on
JWR. If you can name the film and identify the
director, send us an e-mail with your answers to
jamesweggreview@bellnet.ca. At the end of every month, the winner will be chosen by a random draw
from the correct replies. Winners
will have their choice of a one-year
Basic Listing (Organization or Individual - up
to $249 in value) or the option of sponsoring any available article or historic person in perpetuity
- the latter can be a unique way of paying tribute to a special person or
remembering a loved one. Here's this month's photo:
2. Find the error and help a child in need
At
JWR we aim to deliver error-free articles, captions and navigation links. Despite our best efforts and at least two sets of eyes proofing the work and several volunteers testing the site, mistakes slip by.
Accordingly, we'd like to convert folly into virtue: if you spot an error and let us know (
jamesweggreview@bellnet.ca), we'll donate $20 to:
We'll also send you a copy of
JWR: The First Lustrum (2001 - 2006)
as your gift.
Notes:
- Spelling errors are common but language differences (e.g., British/U.S. English;
colour/color) don't concern us as long as the meaning is clear and the word exists
in at least one dictionary.
- Grammar and useage are more subjective; at JWR we use
The Chicago Manual of Style as our guide.
- Using a correctly spelled word incorrectly is of interest (e.g., Helen Anderson
was the high school's principle.). When producing so many articles on deadline,
these types of gremlins can creep into the copy.
- Errors in opinion? They don't count here but we always welcome other points
of view in the Readers' Forum.
- Error by omission: leaving out a word is easy to do and frequently hard
to spot.
- Broken internal links and unexpected results during page navigation also qualify
as do incorrect photo captions or country/flag names.
Thanks for helping out!
