I'd like to see a section on musician Darren Hayes.

Hi Maggles.

A good start: I think you need to mention more about the excellent partnership that was Savage Garden. That was Darren's making, after all.

Agreed, B, just thought that meself!

GuideML help needed too, but not from me

Well, I wouldn't worry too much about GuideML. Good, interesting content is more important. Darren is very worthy of a Guide Entry IMHO, and I would like to see this be really fleshed out, perhaps with an adaptation of some of the content from those fan sites.

If you do add more on Savage Garden, bear in mind that there is already an Edited Guide Entry on the band (A523414), so you don't want too much overlap.

In some ways, that's a shame. Partly because I was thinking about writing one of them meself. But thanks Danny.

B

Perhaps you could flesh it out by adding a biography on Daniel Jones and add it to the original Savage Garden EG entry, then put it into the UpdateForum.

I like that as a suggestion.

B

Researcher hasn't been back since posting this.

Can this be removed?

VV

Thought it needs two months for removal?

My mistake then

No mistake, it's difficult to tell which category this belongs to.

If you take a look at other entries this may help you think of ways in which to expand. If you are using Guide ML then you should encompass your headings like this . Links for h2g2 entries are written like this surrounding your chosen word or words. Links for articles outside H2G2 are done like this again surrounding your link word or words.

Thanks for that. I'll check out to see if there is a section for Savage Garden and reference to that.

Blimey give me a chance I've been moving house and we're still in chaos!

This is my first attempt at an entry so all comments and suggestions gratefully received. I'll make a few changes and additions in the next few weeks as we get unpacked and settled in more.

Take your time theres no rush as can be seen by my entry on Japan which has been sat gathering dust ready to be picked by a scout. Hope you enjoy the new house.

Just wanted to say I don't really agree with adding it to the Savage Garden page because Darren Hayes is a solo recording artist in his own right and has been for five years now.

I can see what you are saying as I'm writing about McCartney.

Thanks.

I can't find the source for your press release, but it appears that you've copied the release wholesale and it makes up about half your entry. If this is the case, it will be unacceptable. It's okay to get information from the release, but it's not okay to reproduce more than a line or two of direct quote from it, the rest needs to be your own.

I know it looks like you've not been around for several weeks, hopefully you're keeping an eye on this from afar.
