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

Hello Gnomon
I'm the sub-editor for your accepted article which is here: A87824839 <--- don't forget to subscribe

I've noted your comments to the sub-ed but left them in for the proof reader so they don't do any altering.

If you'd like to ok my version I'll return it to the Eds for final polish.

You haven't added the pictures I sent to it?

Thanks, GB, for heeding my advice and not changing 10 to ten and sixty to 60.

However, I think there are one or two places where such changes should be made - in the Mayan section, I see I used 1st, 2nd, 3rd and fourth. I'll check this out and get back to you soon.

OK, there are a few small changes which I hope you don't mind making.

(some of these occur a few times)
1st --> first
2nd --> second
3rd --> third (except in phrase "3rd to 9th centuries")
4th --> fourth
5th --> fifth

Number from 1 to 9 --> Numbers from one to nine

So the number sixty-one --> So the number 61

3rd to 9th centuries --> 3rd to 9th Centuries

One other small thing:

humankind have needed --> humankind has needed

It's a group noun so it takes the singular.

I've got all those

I haven't added the images because they're not on Trello for me to add, and I don't have access to the Artist board to see if they have been uploaded yet. I'll ask <BB< if they're ready

Bluebottle's response is:

"There's been a discussion about what size the pictures should be - I've just asked if that's been resolved. Once it is, I'm happy to upload." <BB<

Do you want me to return the article, so it appears on the Artist & GE board? I can add the images under the GE account and come back to this conversation to ensure you're happy with their application

Yes, I'm happy with the sub-editing and the entry can be returned to the Eds.
