Note to Reviewer field - Required!
Feb 22nd, 2013, 2:49pm
 
Heads up to a new change in the card creation process.  The Note to Reviewer field is now required with all submissions.  This will help speed up the review process for everyone.
 
Learn more about the uses of this field here on the original forum posting:
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/forum/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1274484561/0
 
Please see these two helpful posts on the Community BLOG on the importance of this field and helpful hints:  
http://gcucommunity.com/2012/10/03/nuts-and-bolts-note-to-reviewer/
 
http://gcucommunity.com/2012/11/19/dash-of-inspiration-note-to-reviewer/
 
Note, this field currently carries over text from the prior card but this will soon be changed and it will have no "memory".  For card series where you have the same or similar notes to reviewer please use the copy & paste function.  Entering erroneous text here will result in a return for edits and further delay your card's review.
 
Thank you for your committment to conscientious submissions and helping us improve the review process!

Hi Mindy,
 
This change should be a big help in speeding up reviews.  I have a question, just for clarification.

the following is a quote of item number 4:
4) your call for help on finding a better suited category if needed  
 
A few times I have used the note to reviewers field to ask for help with categories.  However, recently we were asked to contact the review team by email about category questions prior to submission instead of asking in the reviewer notes.  (can't find the thread, but it was a response by a reviewer in one of the forum threads)
 
Would you clarify this?  Want to do be sure we are all on the same page.
 
Thanks,
Kati

Sorry, without the specifics on the prior thread it's hard to say.  Share the link if you come upon it again.
 
In general though you shoud submit your cards with the best matched category selected.  When a perfect match does not exist you should put it in the next best which is often the related >> Other subcategory.  
 
If you've created for a category or subcategory that doesn't exist ... you should follow the above (put it in the related >> Other) and make a note for a new category/subcategory to be considered.  The category request can instead or also be posted on the forum (although these don't get attended to quickly).  
 
To take a step back however, ideally you'd have your category identified before you even start creating your card.  
 
Hope that helps and if the review team sets me straight I'll post back here with an update.

Is this field required for Private Cards, as well?

It should not be required for Private - Waive Review.  If it is we will make this correction.
