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

In the bit leading up to the second footnote, it should probably read,
"An example of this is Sirius, which is the brightest star in the NIGHT sky(2), shining at mag -1.4."

Since everyone knows the brightest star in the sky is the Sun.

Also, instead of crediting both of Joanna and I in one entry, the automated system created two identical entries with different entry numbers.

The exact copy of this entry can be found at http://www.h2g2.com/A461981 with Jimi X as the Researcher and no mention of dear, dear Joanna.

Hey guys, can someone fix this?

The problem with the duplicate entries will be resolved by the towers staff before the entry makes it to the front page.

I just did the sub-editing in the wee hours of last night, and only the towers staff has access to make the changes necessary for entries with more than one researcher. Eventually there will be just one entry number with both researchers credited.

And I agree with the bit about Sirius and the Sun -- I can't make changes now, but the head editors will take care of that before it makes it to the front page.

When I saw that message at egroups I suspected that you were dealing with me and Joanna!

I've already talked with Anna about this and they'll take care of it. Some kind of bug with entries being sent back from the Peer Review.

Great job combining them btw!

Oh, and I wanted to commend you on your Girl Scout project at the University. I don't know anything about them, but I was a Boy Scout and it looks like you've got it well in hand.

cool... I noticed that this entry originally didn't credit you... But I have to admit I just thought everything would just come out right....

....and it did. Yay!

But could we fix the sentence leading up to the second footnote that Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Please?

It should all be better now

Thanks Ashley!
It's a minor thing, but one that would surely be exposed by a pendant somewhere.

Thanks from me too
