Hans Christian Anderson
One of the world's most beloved author.

lleeii, since the content of this entry has been copied directly from two different websites: http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/liv/minibio/skole_e.html and http://www.hca2005.com/Life+_+Work/Biography/Short+Biography/Place+of+Birth I'm going to have to ask the h2g2 Moderators to look at it and perhaps hide it since we don't know for sure yet if you have the right or permission to reproduce this material here.

Either way, h2g2 prefers original work from its Researchers. If you want to research an entry about HCA and write it in your own words, that's perfectly acceptable, but not direct copying of other people's work, with or without their permission.

Here's the copyright statement from the HCA website:
"Copyright Johan de Mylius. Copying only for research or educational, non-commercial purpose unless a special permission is issued.

Have you read that?


Scout

ah, i understand perfectly well...
then I'll give it a change

Then, how do you like this new one?!

The author has elvised - back to entry time?

It's a pity that nobody commented on the entry at the time that the author asked about it. I think it would require quite a bit of work to make it suitable for the Edited Guide, so if the author is no longer around, it'll have to go back to entry or on to the Flea Market.

I'll second the back to entry call. There's nothing to stop someone else having a go if they fancy it.


Geggs

Are you e-mailing, or shall I?

I will. I'm working on a list.

It occurred to me that an entry on HCA would be fine addition. I understand that there may be shortcomings to this entry, but wouldn't want to lose any good stuff.

One thing that I would have added would be some acknowledgement of his popularity, such as a mention of the movie based on his life and work starring Danny Kaye.

If nobody else wishes to take this project on I've got spare time to finish it
