== Basic Editing Rules == [[File:ParagraphsExampleImage.png|thumb|right|A labelled example that shows paragraph formatting.]] We have developed a style guide to keep our transcripts consistent. Here are the basics: * We use American English. * We use a clean verbatim style. This means filler words (um, uh, etc.) and repeated words or phrases, when they do not add meaning or nuance, are removed. * Paragraphs are not indented. * Leave an empty paragraph between paragraphs. * Timestamps (preferably taken from the content's YouTube version) are at the start of a paragraph, italicized, of the form ''HH:MM:SS'', and separated by a line break (<code>Shift + Enter</code>) from the rest of the paragraph. * Speaker tags are bold, punctuated with a colon, and use the speaker's full name (first + last). * Only the first of consecutive paragraphs by a speaker should have a speaker tag. * Add notes in brackets for things that happen in video but don't translate to audio. * Add headings to identify the discussion topic. Be sure to review our style guide for everything in detail with examples.
