THIS SHOULD BE A H2G2? DOES GALLAXY CONTAIN ONLY BRITISH ISLANDS? WHERE DO MOON, PROXIMA CENTAURI AND SLOVENIA BELONG ACCORDING TO THIS GUIDE'S POLICY?

There's an entry on the Moon here: A399909
Alpha Centauri here: A132797

Yes. Now open the new window by clicking the button "WHERE I LIVE" above and try to choose RADOVLJICA. If you succeed, I will not only buy you a beer; i'll bring it to you!

The "WHERE I LIVE" link is not a part of h2g2. This site is owned by BBCi, and so it's only fair that there should be links to other BBCi websites at the top. h2g2 begins where that line stops. If you're using the plain skin (set it as your default on this page -> <./>UserDetails?skin=plain</.>
then the BBCi line isn't present anyway (although it's unlikely to stay that way forever).

Oh, and while I'm here, might I suggest you change your name at <./>UserDetails</.> and add a short introduction about yourself at <./>UserEdit?masthead=1</.>. This way, a friendly <./>ACE</.> can drop by and leave you all kinds of links to get going on h2g2.
Enjoy your stay, and may it be a long one!

Don't forget that h2g2 is written by members of the public. If you'd like to see an entry about your town or country the best thing to do is write it yourself and submit it to Peer Review. Good luck!

Thank you! I deeply apologize. I was judging before knowing. Shame on me. I mean it.

Wecome to the Guide, Matjaz (sorry, linux compose key doesn't let me type that z letter you have)! I hope you stick around for good (I've gone off all other websites since I discovered this one)!

about the letter "Ž"
Slovene language uses fonetic alphabet. It means that every letter presents an exact sound, which always sounds the same. "Ž" sounds like "J" in french Jean or last "g" in english garage. So French people pronounce my name pretty well if they read this: matiage.

Yeah, I've seen it in a number of places. The japanese also have a letter in their Hiragana alphabet with a similar sound. Stoopid ISO-Latin-1 doesn't support said letter though.

Evidently my computer isn't so keen on it either.
