I have a few paragraphs that I think should be added to a currently existing Edited Guide Entry. How and where do I submit my information?

If it's just a couple of paragraphs you want to add, the place to go would be <./>Feedback-Editorial</.> At the bottom of the page you'll see a discussion forum for the page and either a button that says 'Discuss this Entry' or the words 'Start a new conversation'. Mark the Subject line 'EF: ' and put its A number in the body of the message together with the content you want to add.
When the Editors get into the office on Monday morning they'll look over your suggestion and decide whether or not it should be added.
Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense to you

You did, and that looks like pretty damn good content to me, although I wouldn't want to second guess what the Eds are going to do. The person who wrote that entry (Mikey the Humming Mouse) is one of h2g2's Scouts, like me. It's our job to scout new entries for the Edited Guide, and to look after </.>PeerReview</.> which is the forum that entries have to go through in order to make it into the Edited Guide(EG).
If and when you feel like writing some entries of your own, familiarise yourself with the process of Peer Review - stick around there for a while and get a feel for how things work, and what sort of entries the Editors are looking for. If you click on my name you'll be taken to my personal space, and there you'll find a section about the EG together with a whole bunch of links that I recommend everyone read before submitting an entry to PR.
If you want to jump in at the deep end and subscribe to PR, you'll find a link at the bottom of the PR front page that says 'Click here to be notified of new conversations'. Be aware though that you'll find a lot of entries submitted to PR which aren't suitable, written by people who didn't read or take notice of the guidelines as laid out by the Editors. And PR can easily overwhelm your conversations list with the amount of new entries submitted there each week
