Entry: The Bahrain Grand Prix 2004 Race Report - A2559765
Author: The One And Only Juno Thundercat (The Patron Saint of Ham Sandwiches) - U208686

A2559765 - 'The Bahrain Grand Prix 2004 Race Report'

My number is U208686, and I'd like to submit my entry for Peer Review. Do I need to say anything else here?

I think it adds the names and numbers automatically but having the details twice doesn't hurt!

I'll add what I added for mine, that I'm not sure whether these reports are suitable for PR but seeing as mine has been sitting here for a few weeks without anyone chucking it out I don't see why not

I've already added most of my comments on the threads from the page so I leave it up to others here.

Mel

Can you remove the picture? Edited entries can't have pictures unless they're added by the italics

Also, can you put all the guideml in CAPITALS please? Otherwise the poor sub editor has to change it all.

Funny that as I found out today that HTML should really be written all in lowercase

I always prefer to write it in CAPITALS though as I find it easier to code!

Mel

I think it was the table that needed to be put in CAPITALS, here you go:

Yooo hooo, Juno! Any chance to take on board the absolutely wonderful contributions of EG Mel, here?

He has done hasn't he?

Mel

Wanders in with the seemingly mutually exclusive statements of:


"Nice entry, I like a lot "

and

"Oh no, not again "

GD

This was in here before the conversation on the British one happened. Is there still no feedback from the towers?

Mind you saying that I asked someone to clear up the support convs listing and I haven't even had a reply there either

Mel

Er actually I haven't written the reminder e-mail to the Eds asking for some input into the whole situation. I sort of ran out of time to do it

I did however send one a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure what happened to it. Certainly I never got a reply, but then I do use a dodgy ISP - Wanadoo - who frequently lose stuff.

Tell you what, now that I know that there is a third GP entry in the mix, I *will* write that e-mail message, and I'll do it tonight.

This 'third entry' was actually the second one to be put in PR, quite a while before I put the British GP one in. Now you see why I didn't understand why I got all the flak, when there were already two others in PR (one of which is now in the edited guide)?

I haven't been around for a while, and now I'm all confused. I've never done this edited guide stuff before.

Anyway, firstly I'm female.

Secondly, I think I've done all my guide ML correctly now.

Thirdly, I've forgotten the 3rd point.

Gender is such an awkward thing online, no offence taken I hope Juno.

Mel

It's OK, everyone seems to think I'm male in internet forums. I don't know why, Juno is a Roman Goddess!

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!

Hi Juno!

Many thanks for this entry - it's certainly very comprehensive!

A few people asked the Editors whether we thought race report entries were suitable for the Edited Guide - and rest assured, you're not the only person to have written race reports! We've said that yes, they are suitable for entry to the Edited Guide, as they fit into our key criteria of being Factual, Verifyable, and not written in the First Person.

One reservation that we do have though, is that reports on this year's grand prix races might become less relevant and interesting to other readers in the future. Ideally, we like entries in h2g2 to have a degree of longevity to them, so that people can pop back to them after 3/4/5 years and still find that the entries are interesting and involving.

The kind of entries that we'd really love to see in the Edited Guide might therefore be something like a guide to the major Grand Prix courses in the world - the best races that have happened on them, crashes, most dangerous bends, fastest stretches, etc. Maybe also entries on the teams like Ferrari and McLaren?

We'd therefore like to invite you to write some of these entries for us - would you be up to the challenge (he said, cheekily!)?

Anyway, many many thanks for the last entry - we hope it speeds through the Sub-Editing process like Schumacher through the rest of the field!

Paul

Well done Juno.

Paully; I might find some time to write entries on those sorts of subjects, though as usual they would have to fit round uni work

Mel

Yay! Yippee! Well done Juno!

I was so happy I forgot about my pizza in the oven and now it's burnt.

I will do an entry on Ralf Schumacher soon then!
