Mark has served as editor for two special issues of peer-reviewed journals that I edited with a colleague. He not only translated German texts excellently and edited English texts by non-native authors highly professionally, but has also shown an excellent sense for the respective profiles of the journals (historical / interdisciplinary) and thus gave us all important suggestions on structure and argumentation. Many thanks for that!
