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

There are a few bits I'd probably alter a little bit if I were subbing this, but the main things I found were:

slop => slope

Resouces => Resources

Castles => castles

Wales has, thanks largely to years of occupation by the English an impressive => Thanks largely to years of occupation by the English, Wales has an impressive

catapaults => catapults

"and other fun events you can find out about by going here" - this takes you to the same page as the Student Union link just a couple of sentences before, so I think you could remove it and just say "and other fun events."

Night Clubs => nightclubs

Capital => capital (or to avoid confusion, you could just say Cardiff)

St Davids Hall => St David's Hall

Your Millennium stadium link doesn't work (and note it's 'Millennium')

Wembly => Wembley

Ponty, birth place of Tom Jones will quickly => Ponty, birth place of Tom Jones, will quickly

sell you a ticket => sell you a ticket.

Campus => campus

lacksadasical => lackadaisical

Highest => highest

buidling => building

en-suit => en-suite

Whether than matters => Whether that matters

Refectory => refectory

University Approved Accomodation => university-approved accomodation

requirments => requirements

Rugby Players => rugby players

I'm not sure what the "Don't panic - There's only one Max Boyce." is all about? I think I sat next to him on a train to Cardiff once, but other than that I don't understand the reference...?

Okay... sorted out the typos. Changed the Millenium Stadium link so it should actually work now. Also took out that Max Boyce remark because it's probably one of those things that will only ever make sense to me. There are a lot of those.
Anything else?

I liked the Max Boyce remark

Dammit why must you guys play with my head! Can we take a vote on the Max Boyce remark?

Don't panic - There's only one Max Boyce - thank goodness, Lbclaire!

Put it back, benjaminpmoore. It's your entry and Peer Review is only for suggestions and corrections. It's helpful if you can address the points brought up, but if there's something you disagree with that's ok, so long as you mention why you wish to leave it in (or why you disagree, etc.)

I wouldn't take out anything just on somebody else's say so but I was genuinely anxious that this was a remark nobody else would understand. Also, if you're not British or you haven't heard of Max Boyce it might go totally over your head. So I guess I'll see if most people understood it or not.

Don't worry about it - I actually don't know anything about him but that doesn't mean other people don't. Is he a comedian? If so I think he's the bloke I sat next to - name rings a bell anyway. Very ostentatiously making notes as if he were dying for someone to ask him something.

Fantastic entry!

"years of occupation by the English8Wales has": drop Wales has.

"recreation catapults": I'm not sure I've ever seen "recreation" used quite this way, and while I know what you mean perhaps "replica" or "reproduction" would be clearer?

"if anyone asks- you didn't read that": either put a space before the hyphen, or even replace it with a colon, or possibly a comma.

"i.e.- never": the hyphen doesn't need to be there.

"Millenium Stadium": Millennium has a double n.

"Where it rains every day except the day you go and have a look round and decide the weather is lovely". I think the Welsh universities have made a pact with the Devil or something. I went to Swansea and discovered exactly the same thing, as did all my friends across the years. Deeply suspicious. The other times the rain stops, of course, are during the exam periods.

All chnanges have been made- thanks for that.
Yes, the Welsh have enetered into a pact with the devil, the penance for which is having to speak welsh.
I have replaced the Max Boyce remark with an all-new less amusing remark.
My graduation was quite dry.

Does this mean people preferred the old Max Boyce remark?

Well since I seem to be the only person still subscribing to this thread- I've read this entry again and I'm happy with it, if any scouts or TV agents or anyone are around at all.

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!

No TV agents? Dammit!

Congrats!

Thanks everyone for your contributions to this entry, for which you should probably say some hail marys or something, I don't know.
