h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I now feel like I learned something today.

The list of dwarf planets - I think it would be better if you gave it some sort of order that told you where the objects are in the solar system. just listing them from the nearest to the sun outwards would help.

A13925586 - Dwarf Planet

24th August 2006 = dates house-style should be 24 August, 2006



You have some double-quote marks in there, could you change them to single-quotes please?



The article should be presented in British-English spellings, any chance you could change the American spellings please?

Headers or subheaders theres the question

I'll see what I can do about the order of the planets.

As for the British-style spellings, you'll have to be a bit more specific. I'm not familar with British English for the very good reason that I live in America.

Well, things like color will be colour instead, and anything that ends with 'er' is 're' in British spelling - except the things that aren't. Also, I've just learned, sometimes 'e's get 'a's in front of them for no particularly good reason at all. I would reccommend taking a bagful of vowels and sprinkling them through your entry.

Hello wandering shadow,

Leo's right - it's just throwing some vowels in and taking some others out. It's only really:

cleared the neighborhood --> cleared the neighbourhood (that's a very American phrase, but you describe what it means in planetary terms very well).

A couple of typos/house style things:
24th August 2006 --> 24 August, 2006
scientist decided --> scientists decided
school children --> schoolchildren
it's orbit --> its orbit
satelite-->satellite

Nice concise Entry, bringing us up-to-date on the plight of poor Pluto.

Okay, I've Britafied my entry. Actually, after making the changes, I searched the guide and found a entry about English spelling. I'll check that before I write my next entry.

Thanks for the heads up.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Well Done

Congratulations

Congrats!

Thanks guys! I hope you don't expect to hear a speech because I'm not giving one.

However, I will say one thing. Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this. The honor is as much yours as it is mine.

Well, fingers crossed.
