Hello Normal, welcome to Peer Review

The three entries you've submitted to Peer Review aren't quite what this forum is meant for.

h2g2 is made up of two types of entry - edited and unedited. Any Researcher can create an entry about anything they like (as long as it is within the bounds of the <./>HouseRules</.&gt, but if a Researcher intends an entry for editing by the h2g2 Editors, it must follow the Writing-Guidelines.

Submitting it to Peer Review is the first step in (hopefully) getting an entry into the edited section of The Guide. Having an entry edited gives it a little more weight in terms of its usefulness because in order to make into the Edited Guide it will have to follow the writing guidelines, which are geared towards encouraging good quality entries, and it will have been reviewed here by other h2g2 Researchers like yourself who will have made suggestions about it - useful additions to the content, superfluous content which could be removed, worthwhile links, etc. A Sub-editor will have polished it up and put it into the House Style (GuideML) if necessary, which usually makes an untidy-looking entry much easier to read, and finally, the h2g2 Editors will have looked it over and given it the , all of which should make it an easy-to-read, informative entry.

There's also a certain caché in having one or more Edited Entries listed on your Personal Space

If you're new to h2g2 why not spend some time getting to know your way around the place, meeting some other Researchers, finding parts of the site which take your interest, getting a feel for how h2g2 operates.

You can create new entries any time you please, and about any subject you please, but not all of them have to be peer-reviewed - only the ones you want to be edited (see above). To get a feel for what an edited entry should look like, check out the <./>FrontPage</.> each day - five new edited entries are listed there every weekday.

If you like to write poetry you might want to check out Writing-Alternative That's the place for poetry and fiction, some of which is picked up for <./>ThePost</.>, some for The UnderGuide.

Gosho is right, the Alternative Writing Workshop is the best place for this entry, and any future poetry.

Would you mind removing this entry by going to Peer Review and clicking on either the X next to it or 'Remove'? You can submit it to the Alternative Writing Workshop by doing the same thing you did in submitting it here, but go to Alternative Writing Workshop in the drop down list this time.
