Thanks, six7s!
I was finding it very difficult to check if entries had featured before, and the staff didn't have time to do this, so thanks again!

You're welcome Azara
It was actually quite easy to do using a rather simple feature in MS Excell, the spreadsheet
From here on, the spreadsheet is superfluous to keeping the page up-to-date... With only five new entries at a time, it can be done in a matter of minutes simply editing in GuideML ~ as long as its done *every* time, which I can't *guarantee* to do
To that end, I'd like to add some other U numbers to the researcher list
Any volunteers?

Well, the entries have not been changing every week - the last lot were up for three weeks, I think. I keep an eye on the nominations + top mine up every week or so, so I certainly would be prepared to add the occasional batch to the list. So go ahead!

Hi Azara!
I've added you, but I'm not entirely sure if that's all that's required, so please let me know if you can actually edit it

Azara won't be able to edit your entry, even if you make her a Researcher on the list. The only way to have two people edit the same document is to have a separate fictitious researcher set up specifically for the purpose. The entry belongs to him. You can then give out the password details to anyone who wants to edit the document, they login as the fictitious researcher and make the changes. That's the way that the AGG column in the Post is done.

Well done, six7s!
I think you should drop my name from the author list, though, since I haven't been able to help you in keeping it up to date. (Though at the rate the lists have changed, that's not a weekly job after all )
I notice you have received that rare accolade - a link from an official page by the editors to your own (better) version.

Thank you Azara
It's a pity that listing you as an author doesn't confer editing rights
Never mind, I live and learn... sometimes
