A Genius Editor is a contributor who has proven that they can consistently contribute high quality annotations, song bios, album bios and artist bios. It’s also important that they exercise sound judgment when accepting or rejecting annotations, suggestions, comments, and Q+A. Each annotation an editor creates, edits, or accepts, should add knowledge to the referent and should be written with style, without errors in formatting, grammar, spelling, or punctuation.

Editors are leaders on the site, setting a high bar for quality through annotations and interactions with other community members. This includes providing feedback to other contributors, participating in forum discussions in a mature and constructive manner, helping mentor new users, and encouraging great content.
