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

Entry: Madonna - Update For A6959307 - A40516085
Author: Opticalillusion - media mynx life would be boring without hiccups - U231227

I have expanded this Entry in regards to what has happened to her from 2005 to 2008.

Opti - on first (very quick) read-through this is excellent stuff I did spot some small nitpicks but nothing major and I'm busy RL today so I don't have time for a full review now

I'll be back

Opti, well done

GB

GB I appreciate your comments

When everyone is happy with this Update, don't forget to read though the Update process at UpdateForum and follow the instructions!

Here they are in black and white anyways (spread the word);

"The Update will then incubate in Peer Review for a minimum of seven days, and once the reviewers are happy the entry is 'finished' the chief updater will post to the thread announcing it as such. An Update will not be chosen for inclusion in the Edited Guide by a Scout, like any other Entry, as it is assured that the subject covered by the update already has a place in the Guide!

Once everyone is happy, the chief updater will then remove the Update from Peer Review and post a message with the Subject line entitled;

EF: Update Notification - *insert name of entry here*

at Editorial Feedback including the A-number of their update, the A-number of the entry needing to be updated and a link to the Peer Review thread concerning the Update. A member of the in-house team or a Curator will take that information on board and will then do some final checks in pretty much the same manner as an h2g2 University Project.

It is vital that all editing is done before the entry is accepted for the update, as it will not pass onto a Sub-editor for final proofing like any other Entry that passes through Peer Review. That means that all the punctuation and grammar must be spot on, that links and GuideML be correctly inserted and that - to be quite blunt - the update is perfect.

Finally, a member of the in-house team or a Curator will copy the text, check it for the usual concerns and paste it over the old entry, complete with any new contributors. It will then make its way to the Front Page as any other new Edited Guide entry would."

Has this been forgotten about by everyone?

It's up to Opti to move it on

I don't know if everyone is happy with this. GB mentioned telling me some nitpicks and hasn't yet. Once everyone is happy I'll follow the advice above, but not recalling having done an update before I'm worried I'll fluff it up.

We can pick up GB's comments here and add them in-house, assuming we don't get them ourselves. Well done Opti. We'll process this and feature the Update on the front page soon.
