h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I would say there is very little wrong with this entry now.

Maybe it could be picked unless there are further comments?

Some things to edit before I think the editors will accept it - note some of these have been suggested already and haven't been worked on

1stly, the guys in the towers are not too keen on begining articles with headers, so perhaps Introduction isn't needed as a title

2ndly, replace all the " with ' , it makes them happy too, its in the english usage guidelines

Atom_boy

How's it going, Atom_boy? I'd like to see this polished up and published on the front page of the Edited Guide.

(and by the way, please do come and join us at A1296886!)

It takes time, time i hadn't...A testweek (school) costs a lot of time so...there is still work to do.


About the publishing: yes, please. But rather not on the frontpage...call me camera shy

All EG entries end up on the front page, we've got to highlight how great the are

I think this deserves a further nudge
Hoopy Frood

I think there are a few Scouts circling, just waiting for AtomBoy to make the final alterations as they said they would...

First, as master yoda would say; very buzzy I am, yes...
Second, as much as some would like to see this on the front page, i'd rather not. I'm just shy...

By the way, i am a n00b here; should i add all the people who helped me correct my spelling as an extra researcher? (I think I should, but it never hurts to ask

Blasted city! It doesn't deserve an entry at H2G2.
You forgot to mention the smell, the corruption, the many unemployed.

Damm you krabbat, damm you and your puppy dogg! You shall not insult my city. The smell comes from the sugar you put in your tea and/or from the tobacco you smoke. To me it's better than most perfumes! Corruption, where? Give me one example! And the unemployed; yes we got them, as every bloody city in the whole world! If you don't like groningen then why the did you read this then?

I can tell from your profile that you are dutch, if you really want to see a smelly city with many unemployed I suggest you go to Amsterdam!

Yes, I'm angry!

This is the guide for life, the universe and everything. Despite the extremely subjective view of Krabatt, Groningen is entitled as does any ,any other city or town in the world, its place in the guide, and I am looking forward to seeing it there.

Atom Boy has put a lot of work into this entry, has managed well to convey a sense of the place. It's an excellent entry IMHO. I think a lot of the other researchers would agree with this.

Ah, I think we must now edit the Guide to not include any cities that are smelly, corruptive and have high rates of unemployment. Exactly what makes them interesting perhaps. Oh well.

Okay, okay! There is nothing wrong with this entry. Luckily it has avoided the more painful facts of life so in general it gives a pleasant description of a rather pleasant place in the north of a rather pleasant country.

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!

but, but, but...i dont even think it's ready yet! pleh, pleh O.S.O.!!!
