A1322975

I have been working on this and thought that it could do with some finishing touches and more ideas

*waits for the nice people to turn up*

*turns up*


Lots of grammar errors... but the subed can take care of that.


A great deal of it seems to be in italics... italics can get annoying to read after a while.

that can be changed...
i didet want it in normal writing as its boring lets face it... but if its easyer on the eye....

Hi Dr Anthea,

I had a look at this and the thread that produced quite a few of the suggestions.

It's a nice enough entry, but i suspect that in its current form it will not get through PR.

sorry to be negative, and don't let my word alone put you off.

But it's kind of a list, rather than an 'entry' as such. And it is indeed still quite well peppered with relatively simple typos or grammar probs.

As to the subject matter... well, at the outside, you need to be more specific. What is a 'meet' (don't tell me, I know what you mean, but it isn't clear from the entry itself).

And is all your advice well thought out? For instance, re crockery, "so that you don't have to borrow from someone else, who may also not have any" - I'd try to borrow from someone who *did* have some, if need be.

Finally, this is an entry about h2g2, if you see what i mean. Probably not an insurmountable problem in itself, but you need to be clear on that yourself. It doesn't come across that clearly in the entry.

well, sorry again to be negative. You may find that you can get a working version of this through PR, and I certainly don't want to stand in your way.

all the best with this and future writings
spiff

thanks for the advice

ok so i made some changes to spelling/grammmor...
and added some more information

Anthea

Why are you writing this? If it's just to be a regular entry, fine, but if it's for PR it still needs work. There are first person references that could do with being removed, and the list could be changed to a list rather than being all in italics and seperated by lines.

whats a ?
and it is just a regular entery... i just wanted to see what you people thought of it....

In that case you don't need to do what I said

tags make an unordered list, that is to say a list where each item starts with a bullet point. The guideml goes like this:

first point
second point...

last point

If you want a numbered list change the to .

thank you
i will try to change it....

Seeing as your points are all long, how about trying:

first point
second point...

last point

Which will put a gap between each point and make it easier to read?

How's this going, Anthea?

Hello?

oh er sorry,


sorry I kinda forgot about this...
and only people writing stuff here reminds me that it even exists.

but I do think I did the code change,
and I've added some pictures so its looking a little better,

I've been attending meetup for years under prepared.

thats exactly why theres a need for the entery
