Have you read this through since you posted it? If not you need to check and edit every place you typed (in Word maybe?) an apostrophe because, as I found out when I did this with my only Guide entry to date, h2g2 converts every apostrophe (and every hyphen which is used alone as opposed to hyphenating words i.e. with a space either side) into a string of gibberish such as #3126; which is VERY confusing for readers who may not have encountered the situation before.

You're right, how weird!

I'll get on and fix it, and thanks for pointing it out.

I submitted that article about nine months ago and never heard a thing about it, so I've just left it since then. I'm sure it doesn't take nine months to get an article approved, though smiley - sadface

Did you actually ASK for it to become approved? If not it can lie around for ages with nobody even noticing it exists - this suits me fine as regards my thing about WOMAD (see the Hi Fi entry) because i actually want to present it in a different way before submitting it for approval. As I said on the other posting, keep in touch smiley - smiley
