Hi Miz, how are you doing with this? It's starting to take good shape now, yell out if you need any more help ?

ST.

And one heard on the News Quiz on BBC Radio 4:

What did the slug say to the snail?

"Big Issue, sir?"



Shall read and comment on entry when awake.

Signing off for night.

TRiG.

I think this entry could do with being removed from Peer Review and put in the Writing Forum.What do others think?

Having spoken to the author about this it's basically a matter of time for her to get back to it, moving it to the WW won't get it done any quicker frankly. There are other articles currently sitting in PR that have had no work done or amendments carried out that go back longer than this one.
It has'nt had a lot in the way of comment or suggestions here yet.

ST.

I hope this isn't removed from PR.

Should others feel the same as Opti, I would vote for it to be returned to the Researcher's Account, not the Flea Market.

At least the researcher is still attempting to find out further information. Which is why this entry has come to a sudden halt in progress.

I think Opti was suggesting the Writing Workshop, not the Flea Market, but I think it's fine here. It needs a lot of work, but it will get more attention here.

I'm not from the UK, and I've never heard of nor read The Big Issue. So, unfortunately, that leaves me with little more than questions. Maybe some of them will give you ideas on how to flesh out your entry more.

What gave Bird the idea to help the homeless in this way?
How did he settle on the format of his magazine?
How did he get his idea off the ground?
You mention 'founders', did Bird have partners?
How did he end up homeless and orphaned?
Where was he from age 7 to 10, and how did he fall into crime? What type of crime?
What event gave him the chance to change his life? How did this change take place?
What experiences did he draw upon in the creation of The Big Issue?
What is the MBE?
What work has he accomplished on an international level earning him awards in that arena?
What is the subject of 'Change Your Life in Seven Steps'?

From reading your previous feedback I get the idea that this is a really popular publication in the UK that is widely read. I can't think of anything similar in the US - at least not on a national level - so maybe stressing the success of the venture would be warranted as well.

Thank you for all your advice, I think the article should be moved to my PS for now.
