Entry: The Edmonton Grads: A Sporting Dynasty - A3368018
Author: anhaga (more than enough is too much) - U215480

Just a little something that seemed to be missing from the Guide.

This is a very interesting bit of history. Remember, though, that since this is originally a British site under the auspices of a British Broadcasting Corporation, we need to use British conventions. Thus, it's 'specialised', not 'specialized', and single quotes should be used instead of double ones.

Shite! I thought I got all those pesky double quotes out of there! And the zeds too.

Is that better?

Is that better?

Oh, quite, thank you!

Okay, I don't like to do this, but





bump

There is no need to bump it. Some of us are perfectly well aware of the existence of this fascinating little gem of an entry

Just making sure.

but seriously . . .

I think it's great, but the only quibble I have it that you might want to mention basketball in the title? The Edmonton Grads mean nothing to most Brits and I'm sure more people would read it if they had an idea what it was about!

Apart from that I think it's really well-written and concise!

I figured the "Dream Team" reference in the title would do it

This Entry is great!

HELL

Thank you, Hell.

Sorry, I may be a total ignoramous but have never heard of the Dream Team

The only Dream Team I've heard of is the football manager series (at least I think that was what it was about, I never watched it) on Sky/cable TV, but then I'm not a sports fan

I'm sure many sports fans will know about Dream Team and enjoy the Entry.

The only Dream Team I ever actually knew about was a Junior Model United Nations delegation at my school who represented France at a Junior Model United Nations conference (a program for teenagers that simulates the real UN). But I've heard it used to refer to various sports teams and the like.

It doesn't really matter to me. I'd be happy with the present title or the title I originally had "The Edmonton Grads: A Sporting Dynasty" or even "The Edmonton Grads: A Basketball Dynasty". I'd be happy to leave it up to a subeditor.

I think - for clarity's sake - that it'd be good for a sub to include Basketball somewhere in the title of the entry.

Many thanks!
