Phew! That took ages...

The South Carolina one looks pretty good... I might want to take that one up

'tis a very fine state as well.

Sorry, don't know anything about those places!

Hmmm, I might have a look at the one on ocean floors. It was a good idea posting those there!

If no one else is interested, I'll adopt Teotihuacan and Tiahuanaco (which is in Peru, not Mexico). I agree that listing these is a great idea.

Glad to know that all that work has been useful

Actually, I think I'll take on the Cuyahoga River entry! 'tis about Ohio - my one true passion in geographic writing

I just read it. Actually, I hate the intro. You insult Ohio, you insult me.

But I'll still probably adopt this though.

Did anyone get anywhere with any of these, by the way?

Nope. Can't be bothered.

Yep, finish the Ocean floor thing in November. It's still in <./>comingup</.>! Never mind.

Alison

That should have said "finished" obviously. Oops.

Sorry, no can do. I don't know any of these places.

i thought i replied to this the other day... maybe the server hiccupped again.

i didn't recall seeing this earlier (like when you first posted it) but now that i know it's here i'll stop by and pick something up next time i'm at loose ends.

and for the record, it's not strictly necessary to be from somewhere in order to write about it. it isn't even necessary that you've ever been there, although sometimes it helps

six, have you made a similar list of entries in collaborative? i'm not asking you to, i don't mind doing it, but i don't want to waste my time if someone's already gone through it.

broelan - i haven't yet, and it would be great if you could

Alex - I picked up these two entries from the Flea Market, polished them up and got them into the EG without having ever been further east than Prague...

It's amazing what you can accomplish with a bit of Internet research and the help of a few others researchers in PR!

i've gone through collaborative and writing workshops for geographical entries.
collaborative workshop entries here: F634966?thread=386506
writing workshop entries here: F634966?thread=386517

I'm embarrassed to say that I've done nothing. I'll make an effort to get mine done.
