Hi,
I'm your subeditor for this entry, and I'll be checking for spelling, grammer and GuideML mistakes, rule infractions and outright errors. If you have any questions, please post them to this thread. I'll also update you about what I do here.
Congratulations! 
Axe

Hey Axara,
Only one correction to make to this entry: there's a link near the bottom of the page to an off-site image, which is not allowed (for (c) reasons) by the BBC. I've removed it for the moment, but I'd like your input before I send the Entry to the editors.
Thanks,
Axe

Hi, Axe! I'm glad that everything else was fine. About the picture links, I already had that problem once before, as can be seen in the thread http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F64519?thread=151364 As you can see in that thread, the editors said that it was only including external images directly in h2g2 entries that was the problem, and that it's perfectly okay to link to an external site with a picture on it. Ashley put all those links back into my previous entry when the sub-editor had removed them! Azara

Yes, but not to link directly to the actual image file. Note that I've left in the links that contain pictures.

A couple of the links that Ashley put back into the other Edited Entry were to image files!

I've posted to the SubEditor's mailing list about this, and I'll tell you what they say. If I was in the wrong (which is probable), I'll get one of the Editors to put the link back in.

I've just got a reply from someone on the mailing list, saying that I'm right. Look at A264520, in the section about links on the last bullet point.
