My first article!!!

Hi there! Unfortunately theres already an Edited Entry on Goth at A473924, but there's no reason not to expand on the other stuff in your Entry!

Like subcultures.

Hi Hyperwhitemage

The Edited Guide is crying out for a proper entry on UK teen subcultures, and I reckon it's only someone like you that can write it.

Rather than concentrate on Goths, I'd consider taking your lists of subcultures, and just compare and contrast.

What's the music/fashion/leisure pursuits for each?
What do they think of themselves and each other, generally?
How do they operate in and out of school?
Is there anything parents should know?

Back it up with a few quotes, if you can find them.

If you did that, and we got it into the guide, you'd have the prestige of having written one of the definitive articles on the subject - and it would appear near the top of a Google search.

Are you up for it?

Icy

hey sounds like a challenge =]. Its my end of year review, so progress will slow at first but definatly i go for it.

That's what we wanted to hear

I appreciate it's a bad time - no hurry!

If there's any help you need, just let me know

Icy

sure thing, thanks

Side Note:
I was thinking how to structure it, maybe just in sections?

I think the best advice I can give is 'write it in your own style'.

If I can, I try to write an eye-catching opening paragraph first, and only then do I lay into the detail. But there's lots of ways to do it - why not read a few articles in the Edited Guide for some ideas?

hI! I'd lust like to say that though there is indeed another Goth and Subculture entry in the Guide, I actually found this one a little more informative as well as entertaining.

I noticed a few niggling little errors in here, but nothing that can't be put right in a few minutes. I'll pop back with a few corrections that should be made.

hmm, perhaps there's a chance of Updating the old Goth Entry with some of the stuff here?

Propose either Back to Entry, or to Flea Market where it could be used to Update the older Goth Entry

Matt

I'd vote for flea market.

Seconded then
