I think it's quite a good entry. It's very informational, yet trivial enough to fit in the h2g2 style.
There's only one bad thing about this entry: You end it with "Also,"
Was that an error and it's not supposed to be there, or is the entry not finished yet?

My bad. It was very late when I finiched it. It lacks bits of finishing here and there. I'm kinda stuck with finding the right way to close the subject, so for now, i'm letting the "also" there because, well, it's not yet finished. I'm open to suggestions smiley - biggrin

If anybody has synonyms for "time waste" and "time wasters" i'd like you to tell me.

I'm a little short in synonyms as english is my second language. smiley - erm I consider myself good at writing (sort of), and I believe my collaboration could be valuable, however I reckon I often make more errors than others. Well, we are all there to learn something, no? So just politely point those mistakes and i'll gladly correct them.

Outside of a few typos this is a wonderful article. Quite enjoyable and well written.

Pleased to see you like it!smiley - cheers

Don't hesitate to criticise it, though, for I believe negative but constructive comments are better for general improvement. I would kindly correct any typos or structural mistakes you can point!

Thanks!

I will also enjoy the visual thesaurus for I found some online versions that are quite useful.

I'll update the text with a slightly enriched vocabulary as well as typos correction and structure enhancements eventually.

I have other ideas for entries just waiting to be written, as well.

Before I go off to truly waste time (i.e. staring at nothing, drooling, pooping without control)I will state that I believe that a synonym for time wasting is not what you should be looking for. Rather, a title should be considered, since this apparently is a very deep subject. A title which, in a word, describes the very loose confederation of time-wasters. Possibly "The Wasters of Time".

By the way, is drinking until one is shit-faced considered wasting time or not?
