h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Post the details here...

Icy

I've not noticed any in academic papers, but there are a couple in the Collins encyclopaedic dictionary. I'll look 'em up tomorrow night.

TRiG.

I'd be interested to see those, TriG

I've just added two I found in the Collins Italian Dictionary - see under 2005.

Icy

I've added a patent application for Howard Stapleton's Mosquito device, in which he cites the h2g2 entry A2398845 - Dispersing a Crowd. See under 2006. (I'm colouring patent applications blue, books purple and journals pale yellow).

(I didn't know about this when I wrote the entry A31699146 - The Mosquito - Sonic Teenager Deterrent)

Sorry. I'd forgotten about this. If you annoy me enough, I'll get back to you.

TRiG.

I won't annoy you for them, TRiG. I'll just be very grateful if you find the time.

Oh, I've just stumbled upon a huge pile of theses.

No, academic theses - doctorate submissions and things. I don't know whether these are worth recording too - they're treated as research material, but aren't published in peer-reviewed journals.

I've added a reference to A10832384 - Cocaine - The History and the Risks

This was published in the Journal of Addictions Nursing, Volume 17, Issue 4 December 2006.

Not an academic reference, but nonetheless:
F54784?thread=6295672

If someone can supply me with full details (title, author and the text of the reference), then I'll add it.

"Why Did it Have to be Snakes? From Science to the Supernatural, the Many Mysteries of Indiana Jones", by Lois H. Gresh and Robert Weinberg.

The referenced Entry is Belzoni - Tomb Raider and Archaeologist. It's in 3 parts, A22548503 is Part 1, but I'm not sure which part is cited. It could be all three, really.

(And I just noticed that Gnomon mentioned that in a Conversation under your Referencing h2g2 Post Entry.)

Added, thanks!

I'll try to get the full details the next time I'm in a bookshop.

New one added (2007 section)

De Voil Indirect Tax Intelligence (whatever that is) references:

A807374 - The Quote 'May You Live in Interesting Times'
