Hello Bob

I don’t know if you noticed that I've been trying to create a lists of all h2g2's Projects – where there are two or more articles on a single topic, often, though not always, by the same author and often, but not always, written as part of the University. These projects don't have to have entries written at the same time, so even if there is a gap of several years between entries, as long as there is a common theme they can count as a project.

So I was wondering if you could let me know what Projects you have done.

So far I have got:

Completed:
Anglo Saxon Kingdoms
British Burial Barrows
Hadrian's Wall
Roman Navy

In Progress:
Stewarts
Cameras

Would you class the following as projects, and if so, how would you arrange the individual entries in the project? See my suggestions below, but feel free to disagree:

Roman Britain:
A74481384 The Provinces of Roman Britain (Dec 6, 2010)
A41607182 Roman Roads In Britain Today

A29321435 Bosham to Lincoln - A Journey Through Roman Britain

Parliamentary Generals:
A14535263 Parliamentary Generals in the 1640s: The Earl of Stamford
A13911806 Parliamentary Generals in the 1640s - Sir John Merrick
A14113829 Parliamentary Generals in the 1640s: The Commander The Earl Of Essex
A14116646 Oliver Cromwell - What's In A Name?
A45871040 Oliver Cromwell: Lord Protector of the Commonwealth

A25136912 English Chartered Markets: The North Midlands (Aug 21, 2007)
A21141541 English Chartered Markets: The North (Apr 25, 2007)

Trafalgar:
A23965590 The Method and Procedures of Nelson's Navy
A23708540 The Battle of Trafalgar
A87781684 The Crew of the HMS Victory at Trafalgar



Civil War Battles:
A22196351 The Battle of Turnham Green 1642

Roman Construction Methods:

So hows the publicity going...

It is just a thought but how about request entries this could be of 2 types

Hoo Tooers could request an entry on a subject they want to know more about.

OR

We could offer to produce entries for use by recognised organisations with the idea that they use them for publicity. Payment a full H2G2 advertisement on their free publicity handouts, and cash paid direct to a nominated H2G2 charity.

What conclusion have you made regarding these entrie.

It appears that we are planning to create a reference library, it would be a good idea if browsing readers can find entries faster. smiley - cheers

You have 80 </.>solo</.> entries so far, only 20 to go before the 100. This means you've currently credited as having written the 15th most Edited Entries.smiley - biggrin

Thanks for that <BB<Is there a list somewhere I am missing some.

As a reward and for a bit of fun, and if you want I have 4 photos of the I.O.W that might inspire you to write some entries(s).

I suppose its a bit of a challenge if you see it that way. Let me know and the photos can be sent to you so we dont spoil the surprise for the other readers.

What do you thinksmiley - cheers

The only list I know of is <./>MA3151547?type=1</.> but it doesn't differentiate between <./>solo</.> and collaborative entries.

Thanks for thinking of me – at the moment I've got the opposite problem of trying not to write entries. As most of my entries were spending years in Peer Review, I've decided to limit the number of entries I've personally written that are in Peer Review to 10 (not counting collaborations) in the hope that it will mean my entries will get through quicker. This has meant that I've written a few entries that are currently queuing waiting for others of my entries to leave Peer Review before they are put in.

But don't let me discourage you if you have photos that you want to share – if there aren't any appropriate entries in the Edited Guide, you can feel free to write them yourself, or why not send the photos to smiley - thepost?
