How can I change my self-imposed deadline?

Go to your article, press 'author' button and then select the new deadline. This will change the deadline in the database, but will not change any text in your article. To change the text, just press 'edit this article' button, correct the deadline (or remove any deadline information), and then press 'save page' button.

Shall all curators approve a revision of an article?

No: if an article has many curators and one of them approves a revision article, than the article is considered as "approved".

[edit]

Who is the people acknowledged at the bottom of the article?

There are a few fields at the bottom of the article:

  • Suggested by: the person who made a suggestion to the editor (may be empty).
  • Action editor: the editor who sends emails to reviewers (may be different from the "invited by")
