Author: GarethH - U551033

My first article for the guide. It's been almost done for a while now but I've never got around to submitting it.
Any comments or observations would be appreciated.

Hi Gareth. Am going to glance at your entry.

Good entry nice read

bs

Very nice maiden entry.

1. Does everything have to be in caps? I mean, is their band name in caps? And the headings should be in Title Case.

2. There's a quote you've got in there that needs to be blocked off:

Put text here

3. Your sections are pretty long, between headers. That's not totally bad, but if you could divide them up into subheaders, that makes it easier for the people viewing this on handhelds and things like that.

It's a good Entry! But the GuideML is non-standard - we like it a very particular way in the Edited Guide, so you'll have to change it.

1. Don't put a header or subheader at the very start - the title of the Entry serves as a header so you don't need another one.

2. Use headers rather than subheaders. Subheaders should only be used to break up a section which has a header at the top.

3. Don't use to break up paragraphs. You should use before and after every paragraph. should only be used when quoting songs or poetry, when you have to go on to a new line at a particular place without introducing a blank line.

Sorry to put you to this trouble, but it will be worth it, as this Entry should have no real problems in Peer Review.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I'll get onto it over the next few days to make all the changes.

Right, I've made all the requested alterations. There is one part I'm not sure about, in the "Epic Records" section. I've used two quotes here and I was wondering if I shoud use the "and" in-between the two. Any thoughts?

Start:
>>are by far the most exciting and innovative bands
-first of all, they are presumably one band - right?
-secondly, the sentence is opinion, and therefore unsuitable.

Placid Casuals
>>Recorded for only £6,000 and
- is the A with the squiggle on it supposed to be there?

I think the quotes look fine with the 'and' in between.

I've now rephrased the opening line to something a bit more suitable.

With regards to squiggley A, I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to.

Thanks for your opinion on the 'and'. I'll leave it as it is.

£6,000

The A with the thingummy over it. Sorry, I never took phonetics, so I don't know the name for it.

thar she blows agin.
My question: does it mean anything?

I'll leave it for now. I never took phonetics either, so I'm just scoobied. Anything else that needs changing?

scoobied? Well if you don't know what it is, where did it come from?

Anyway, there's some nitpicking I could do, but honestly? They'll do that and more in PR. In my humble opinion, this entry is ready to roll out into the shark tank.

(Though I've been known to be wrong... *covers her back*)

Thanks everyone for their help. I've submitted the article for peer review now.
