Hi - I think that they are all corrected now, thanks for your time and trouble looking over this.
As for the earthworms, I must have added the h2g2 wormery A13911752 link first, as it was closely linked to composting. And there isn't a link to earthworms from that entry, so I presumed there wasn't one- maybe there should be one now?
I've changed that link to the inhouse one now.

I've just looked at my 'Garden Wormery' Entry, and there IS a link to the h2g2 'Earthworms' Entry. (I s'pose a curator could've put it there in the last hour, having read youe comment, Lanza )

'.. into a rich friable wormcast, with the nutriments becoming available for absorption by the plant roots. '
Shouldn't that be 'nutrients' (not 'nutriments'

There's no point in altering your copy now, as I have applied it to the original EGE, so I'll have to make any corrections

Sorry I didn't look at this earlier. This is a place where some Editorial Input would have been appreciated. A
nyway, there was never any doubt about this - it had to be put through as an update, not a new Entry.
If someone else has written an entry and it has got into the guide, then you can't write a new entry on the same subject; you have to update their one and credit them with joint authorship, even if you remove everything they've written. The only exception is if the original writer was "The Original Writing Team", who were paid to produce a large number of very mediocre entries to flesh out the guide at the start. In that case, it still goes through as an update, but you don't have to credit them.
