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

all the "self-reference" links need to be updated to be, well, self-referential to the right entry!

Yeah I've been waiting for that...its quite handy for finding the old entry at the moment...

And the footnote link to 'the Turing Test' isnt much to do with 'Turing complete' - would be better going to the entry on Alan Turing at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A454628

Also the self-referential footnote now points to the footnote on Turing rather than itself - needs fixing.

Ho hum, links still appear to point to the other page.
All it needs is a search and replace from A508754 to A533927 I think.

And whats the situation with the links to endless loops - which is still kicking around Peer Review I think - that link will have to change when endless loops gets edited.

You probably should go and complain on the editorial feedback page. Feel free to call them incompetents from me...

Its got itself fixed

Still dont know what'll happen with endless loops, but not a big problem.

It's still got the nonsense about the Turing Test, though.

Anyways, congrats to MyRedDice for getting this in! I read it a long time ago and it's really a nice entry. Now I'm just wondering how I'll manage to sneak a reference to this posting into itself! Oh lookee I did it!

Well, it's really Henry's entry - I just wrote the section on self-reference in computers...

Oh yes ... Sorry Henry, congrats!

Cheers

Well, as to the Endless Loops entry... I think it's doomed to rotate up and down the Peer Review forever --- just the right thing for this topic, isn't it?

This is your editor speaking. I sent this entry back with loads of notes - particularly mentioning that when the entry was edited and had a new number, the number would have to be changed throughout the entry, on all the links. The penny obviously finally dropped!
