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

O.k... they took the nice, neat, easily read, colour coordinated table, lovingly crafted by Em, and turned it into.... a really crappy looking, unprofessional, boring, difficult to read mess. I fail to see the reasoning...

Apart from that, it looks O.k.

I'll have to agree on the table - you can't read it correctly the way it looks now...

I'll just leave a link to the original here, for comparison:

Yey! Agreement!

Yes, I'm not chuffed with that change. There's no point!

Unfortunately colour is not part of the Approved GuideML for Edited Guide Entries (A264520) but the great thing about making copies of entries is that, as you have done, you can link to the originals.

*checks the edited entry again*

Ah - good - someone fixed the faults - at least the data cells are correctly positioned now!

Ah, yes that's much better, not quite as much of a mess now.

Maybe someone could make a picture thingy version in colour, because it does help to understand the concept.

I think the anti- colour thing is silly... should be done on a case- by- case basis. I agree that in a lot of cases the addition of extra colour is not needed, and would possibly make it difficult to read and uncomfortable to the eye, but in a case such as this when the different colours help to explain the subject further and make it easier for everyone, then why not?

And to think, the lengthy discussion, nay, argument about which exact shade to use in the table was all for nothing!
