Entry: History of Sittard, Netherlands. - A18888907
Author: canberra6 - U6667210

Hello,I would like to get an opinion on my guide entry 'History of Sittard', as it is a long time since I have written in English, and I would appreciate the feed back.
many thanks

Hi Canberra,

Could you break it up into sections - see the entry on Zwolle for a good example of this: A11814671.

Fascinating history. I think it needs more on what the town is like today. Do you live there? What's it like? Why should we visit it?

If you need inspiration, there are a few more Netherlands-related articles in the Guide: Groningen (A3342548) is a good one.

Hello Icy,
Thanks for the comments, I will surely bear them in mind, this was my first attempt in adding a guide, I am what they call where I live, a "digibet" not knowing much about computers, and being a lad, who cares about operating manuals and the like, so I come unstuck more times than I would like to admit to. Yes I do live here in Sittard, have done for 43 years.
If you're interested there is a webcam operating 24/7 on our market.
www.webcamsittard.nl Take a look and let me know what you think. I'll be away for a week or so, so it will take a while before I answer.
Once again many thanks for the input you have given.
Greetz,
Canberra.

Hi canberra.
Do you think you could click the 'Guide ML' and then: 'Change Style' at the bottom of your entry, and seperate it into paragraphs, starting each paragraph with and ending it with ? As it is now, I can't see the text without having to scroll, it looks quite awful, to be honest.

Hi canberra6 -

first of all, congrats on becoming grandparents for the 4th time

How are you going along with this Entry? If you want some pointers let me know, or you could take a look here A1286921 for help on how to construct a good Entry on a place

I know the football team is called Fortuna Sittard

They once provided Plymouth Argyle with a singularly useless player called Greg Campbell...

Last posting Feb 1st; anyone for FM?

Wonder what happened to him.
Which place would be better in case he comes back?

He can always pick it up again, from the Flea Market

If we think there's enough there for someone to finish off, it goes to FM; if we don't it goes back to entry. The two month period is the time available for the author to come back and decide for him/herself

Yes, I know. But I know he has a heart thingy (pacemaker?)and had an OP, and maybe he's too ill to come back. Never mind, put it in the FM then.

In that case, do you think moving it back to entry would be more appropriate?

I really don't know. Maybe lil is right, he can get it from the FM himself should he come back.

FM it is, then. If it does get rescued, he'll get a nice email when it goes FP anyway, so all is not lost

It would be where he can find it and, if he can't work with it, he might give someone the boost to carry it on for him

I'm going to pick this up and run with it. Working on it here A21382742

My plan is to not do an awful lot, just neaten up and add some more of what I know about the area. I will add myself an Additional Research credit rather than collaborative so canberra gets the solo credit I think too

Now that's a brilliant idea!!

Now back in PR here: F48874?thread=4055733
