Hey Woodpigeon,
I guess you know the score already (what with the 5 digit user number and all), so I'm not going to pour out the Subeditors rhetoric to you (needless to say, you can check up on it at <./>Subeditors-What</.>. If you have any comments, or questions about what I've done, please post them here.
Thanks ,
Robert

Hey,
I've looked through the entry and made a few minor changes. I'm waiting on answers to a few style tips from the Subeditors Mailing List, I'll give you details within the next few days.

I've checked the Help Pages a few hundred times more and found the answers to what I was asking, so that's another thing sorted.
Now, I'm going to do some 'Link Propogation' (adding links to other articles in relevent places) and another read-through (out loud for maximum crazy factor).
Only a few more steps to go!

I've finished adding links - only one extra one I could find - so one more quick read through before it goes back.

...which I've just done.
If you haven't got any questions, I'll submit the entry on Thursday (assuming the h2g2 servers don't break during the downtime!).

Hi Robert,
Cool! Thanks! There is just one small change I would like to make -
"There are three major superclusters in the locality of the solar system: The Hyades, The Pleiades, and very close to us, The Sirius Supercluster" - "the locality" sounds as if it is in the sun's back yard - (which it is, if you don't care too much about distances). It would be better to say "within 1000 light years of the solar system", I think.
Cheers,
Woodpigeon

Actually Robert, you will get away with 500 light years. It sounds a bit better.
