Subbing - 'Quoth the Raven'

Post 1

Wildman - I'm not really mad, I've just been in a very bad mood for 40 years!

I'm just about to start subbing your series on Scott Levy.

Part one - A1138565
Part two - A1138574
Part three - A1138583

It's not a subject I know much about, but it's interestingsmiley - smiley.
Things are a bit hectic IRL for me just now, so I'll probably be doing a bit at a time over the next few days. If you see anything you don't agree with, please feel free to contact me - I'll post again before I send them away.

I'm grateful for any time that you can find to spend on these three articles as I've been waiting for this one to be accepted for a very long time!

I've taken a good long look at the three parts as they stand and I can't really see anything wrong with them, so that may save you some time at least.

If you need any clarification on the articles themselves or the subject-matter then don't hesitate to ask. You may want to check out the excellent article in the EG to ground yourself in the subject, but then again it looks like you're doing fine so far.

Thanks for your efforts.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I was reffering to the EG Pro-Wrestling entry!

There's not much else to do to these entries. They're well written and very detailed, all I've done is sort out the GML and throw in some subheaders to break up the blocks of text.

The only query I have is that I can't really believe the name 'Beulah McGuilecutty' - don't get me wrong, I realise that anything is possible in the field of Amurrican names, but I keep thinking it should be McGillicuddy (not that much differentsmiley - biggrin). I know that's how it's spelled on his website so that's how it stays - but really?smiley - laugh

What I really came here to say is that I'll leave it pretty much as is - come back to it SHORTLY as a last check for typos etc. and then if you're OK with it send it off to the editors for final polishing(?). Apparently the plan at the moment is for the articles to be put out on successive days.

The thing about Beulah's surname is that it was concocted for a character in the plotline and was never the name of a real person as far as I know. Raven was also accompanied to the ring in his later ECW days by an oriental valet who was known as "Kimona Wanalaya" which is worthy of Austin Powers. I think that you have to remember that there is always an element of the ridiculous to pro-wrestling.

Successive days, well that's never happened to me before!
