If I want to try to grammar-check some articles, then what do I do?

Unofficial GP checkers are not able to GP articles for The Smog. Try joining the team by checking analyses in the Sixth Generation Contributions forum then send a PM to the leaders. If you make it, you will be granted access to Article Workshop and the ability to GP articles.
Wait, so I have to check some analyses in the 6th gen contributions, and PM the mistakes and the fixed things to the leaders?
Also, what leaders are you talking about?
Also, what leaders are you talking about?
Jellicent, Calm Pokemaster, and SuperJOCKE
Check analyses (like the normal GPers do but note that it is an amcheck and DO NOT STAMP IT) then link them in a PM to the aforementioned GP leaders.

Sorry if Im acting stupid, but this is what I get so far:
1.Find analysis
2.Check it
3.Link that analysis to the GP leaders
Okay, so I don't know what a amcheck is nor what stamping it means, and if I link the analysis to the GP leaders, how will they see if I checked it or not? Or do I post the checking in the thread and link that?
Thanks in advance!

1) Correct
2) Correct, but make sure you do it like GPers do
3) Link multiple to the GP leaders (three is the minimum)
An amcheck is the shortened term for an "amateur GP check". It basically just means that you aren't recognized as an official GPer. Link it by clicking when it was posted (right under the post) to receive the link for that post. Stamping is when an official GPer checks the analysis and "approves" it. Each analysis is required to get two stamps to be uploaded.
So I post the corrections in the thread? Cause thats the only thing I'm not so clear about
Is there a way for me to receive a notification on Smogon here whenever a new issue is released? I'm thinking of following a thread for that, but at the moment it seems that a new thread is created each time for announcing its release, so for now the only way I have is to manually check every few days. It'll be great if we could receive an alert for it. (:
You should send a PM to the user The Smog with your answers on

Banned deucer.
what's the signature size limits? i have a sexy new magikarp set that i'd like to show off
It will automatically cut of your signature at the limit ifuckmagikarps.
So I have an idea for an article for the entertainment section (which, let's face it, has been very lackluster in recent issues). The thing is that it's very, very similar to something else written by me. It was never posted in The Smog, however; only in an OI thread. Is it fair game for me to submit?
Indeed it was!
Where do we go to submit trivia answers? Do we send a private message to someone or something else? Also, where would I go if I wanted to suggest some new trivia ideas?
You can send your answers to The Smog. It also says at the top of the article you can VM Level 51 with suggestions and concerns however RitterCat is organising the puzzle page this issue, so I don't know who would be best to ask. Hopefully one of them will see the tag and be able to shed some light for you on this. I hope you enjoyed completing the puzzle page!Article said:

Hi SpicyChiliMango! Quarkz is entirely correct, you should PM/VM me with any new trivia ideas you have. Please do, I'd love to hear them :)

What do the prefixes in The Smog Workshop mean? I currently have a finished article plan in there, and I'm not sure what prefix to use.
chuckaboomboom, this article was written an number of issues back but is still pretty useful, I recommend you check it out! It should cover your concerns, but feel free to find me on PS or IRC if you need a hand.

In the workshop, a lot of people start messages with Bump. What does this mean and when should I use it? Thanks in advance!
This is just Smog staff reminding authors that they need to finish their article after either it's been sitting without an update for awhile or the writing deadline is coming up soon. You probably won't find a need to do this.
