ready for publishing, I think.

You can't pour anything fresh from the freezer, because it'd be solid, not liquid. I think you mean "fridge"



What are you hoping for with this entry? I'm afraid it doesn't meet the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for an edited entry, even though it's certainly interesting

Thanks

Because of their alcohol content gin and vodka freeze at lower temperatures than most domestic freezers can reach, so you can chill them in a freezer and they'll still be liquid.

no, not quite the guidelines, but it could be made to fit. And why not? It would make a nice addition.

1. it's a drop short. That's not bad, but it will be longer before we're finished with it.

2. it needs an intro. why would you want to extract your dna? is there any other method? Maybe include a list of things you need to collect before you start. What is dna? include a link.

3. it needs explanation of every step. what are you doing? why?

4. conclusion. what now? OK, so I've got my dna... now what?


Do this, and it'll probably be ready for publishing.

I didn't know that, I apologise, can you tell I'm a teetotaller?

it's alcohol it will not freeze, try it, I did.

OK so far so good.This is one of those things to demonstrate that this, "DNA" "stuff" does exist. It's not intended to use as a means of proving anything other than that.

OK so I have done some editing, what else do I need to do? Sensible replies only please? Thanks to all who have replied so far.

Hmmm... GuideML would spice it up, but if you don't want to, you don't have to.

House Style Guide says use italics instead of capital letters, but again, that's guideML, and the subbie can fix it.

I can't think of much it needs except links (again, guideML and the subbie can do it).

Anyone else?

Of course they'll have lots to say in PR. Anyone think this is ready for PR?

Yup. PR please.

Is this not an entry for the alternative guide?

No Opti. This can go in the EG. You can trust me on this: I'm a scout.Next time you disagree with me, please, just drop me a note. I can explain freely on my PS.

What's going on with this piece at the minute?

Well, Oldberk is definitely still around. He posted 6 days ago. Let's see if he can hear us..
