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

Hello bob

I'm sub-editing your Beacon Hill entry at the moment and one thing's got me confused. You mention the south-western gate in the entry, and later where you have the map co-ordinates you call it the western gate, but to me that looks like it's south-eastern, or even southern http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.311294,+-1.343213&hl=en&ll=51.312408,-1.342617&spn=0.00572,0.016512&sll=51.311388,-1.343379&sspn=0.005694,0.016512&t=h&z=17

Can you shed some light on the matter? Thanks.

Well spotted southeastern corner please

Thanks, I'll take care of that.

One other thing - the entry says the hill is 853 ft (254m) high, but all other sites I've been reading while editing it says it's 856 ft (261 m), and the Ordnance Survey have a trig point on the hill that gives the height as 261.893m. I just want to check with you before I change that in case I've missed something there. It's only a matter of a few feet/metres, but we should strive for accuracy.

Go with the majority please

Consider it done

Thank you muchley

Also please where I have compared Beacon hill to Winchester Hill and Olivers Battery

Please alter to Winchester Hill and Saint Catherines Hillfort both have been edited and approved.


Thank you

Ah, I've already sent the entry back to the Eds, so I can't edit it any more. If you want the Eds to change Olivers Battery to Saint Catherines I can send them a note, or it can be altered by the curators once it's been on the front page. Is it that Catherines Hill is a better example? Olivers Battery has been edited and is pending so I added a link to it entry in Beacon Hill, and a big **ENTRY PENDING** note for the Eds in case Beacon Hill gets published before OB. Or you could even have all three entries - WH, OB and SCH - mentioned

Please if you could St Catherines is a better comparison sorry to be a bother

Easy peasy. Got a link for that one?

Thanks again

Beacon Hill's on the front page, but I can't find an entry about St Catherine's Hillfort to make the change you requested. Do you have a link for it, Bob?

That one isn't an edited entry so we can't link to it in another edited entry such as Beacon Hill. But if it was put into PR and picked...

Wait, that's the Oliver's Battery entry before it was edited, so it's already in the Guide as Oliver's Battery, not St Catherine's Hill Fort. They're one and the same.

yes
