Hi All

Could we work as a community to complete this survey so that we can
benchmark ourselves against other countries.  I completed the last one but
many hands make light work

How do I review submissions? <http://staging.census.okfn.org/country/>

Only Census Country Editors can review submissions. If you’d like to become
an editor, email the Census team on census at okfn.org.

   1.

   Select your country in the list below
   2.

   On your Country overview page, see if there are any pending submissions
   (items with Review Now next to them!)
   1.

      If no pending submissions there is nothing to do! All done!
      3.

   Click Review Now on a pending submission
   1.

      You will be prompted to log in if you are not logged in
      2.

      To review, you need to sign up to become a Country Editor - do so by
      sending an email to the Census team on census at okfn.org
      4.

   You will be taken to the review page where there will be instructions
   1.

      Remember you can edit the submission - and incorporate material from
      the current entry (if there is one). Comments can be
particularly valuable,
      so consider merging old and new comments.
      5.

   Publish or Reject
   1.

      If submission is incorrect or lower quality than existing entry,
      click Reject.
      2.

      If submission is better than existing entry click Publish. Note that
      if you choose to publish the submission you are reviewing, it will
      overwrite the old submission entirely!  So think carefully
whether you need
      to merge any content first.
      3.

      Note that you might need to refresh the site to see the greyed-out
      queued entry you’ve just processed disappear.

How do I propose a change to an existing
entry?<http://staging.census.okfn.org/country/>

visible in the table as 'awaiting review' after a few minutes.
