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

So... is it going to be picked?

Actually, there a still quite a few 's in there -- I just counted 18....

I did the taking out of the BR/s in the paragraphs suggested!

As I think we've made clear before, *all* of the should come out. Every last one.


Mikey

There should be nine left. They're staying.

There were eleven. Now there's nine.

And why, perchance, are those staying?

As we've said before, for this to go into the Edited Guide, every single last will have to be removed.

It's entirely possible that a scout will pick the entry and have it approved as it stands, and then the subeditor will remove the remaining 's for you.

But since I *know* that you're quite capable of removing them, and since I'm generally against handing entries over to sub-eds with lots of work that could and should have been done by the author, I won't be picking this one until the last s are gone.

Your call, if you'd rather just wait it out....

They're the s that put the signature moves on the next line in the cast info.

But why does it need to be on the next line?

I really don't think that

-Trunks: A time-travelling teen from the future with a grave message for Goku about his fate in 3 years time at the hands of some androids created by an old nemesis- Dr. Gero.
(Burning Attack, Buster Cannon)

is any better than:

-Trunks: A time-travelling teen from the future with a grave message for Goku about his fate in 3 years time at the hands of some androids created by an old nemesis- Dr. Gero. (Burning Attack, Buster Cannon)

Although if I were the sub, I would probably change it further to:

-Trunks: A time-travelling teen from the future with a grave message for Goku about his fate in 3 years time at the hands of some androids created by an old nemesis - Dr. Gero. Special moves: Burning Attack, Buster Cannon.


Mikey

No that looks out of place.

*sigh*. Both popular opinion and received h2g2 wisdom is against you here, Cat...

Okay, Cat, here's how it should be done:

Trunks
A time-travelling teen from the future with a grave message for Goku about his fate in 3 years time at the hands of some androids created by an old nemesis- Dr. Gero.


(Burning Attack, Buster Cannon)


If this is done for each of those sections, it won't look out of place because they'll all look the same and they'll all match our house style.

Can we ban BR/s?

They do have a use for things like personal spaces -- I certainly use them in mine.

Still working on this? I have picks due this week....

Oh gods dammit...

Done. Again.

Woohoo -- no s left at all!

Yes that puss stain on the world of this h2g2 entry is gone. I miss it!

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!
