Entry: Lorem Ipsum: Latin for Typographers - A4204135
Author: Edward the Bonobo - In a week - maybe two - they'll make me a star. - U803114

A slightly outré subject, perhaps - but that's what the Guide is for!

I like - should be good accompaniment for the Etaoin Shrdlu entry.

My one quibble is the phrase: "various variants". Surely you can think of something better.

Sorry to do this, but have you seen A1023166, which is an Entry on Lorem Ipsum already in the Edited Guide. Perhaps it's worth considering if you can merge the two and submit it to the Update Forum..?

AAAARGH! I should have checked first! I didn't think it could *possibly* be there!

I'd better delete at once.

I'm always amazed by what you can find on H2G2..!

I thought it looked familiar...

B

"I'd better delete at once".

Don't be too hasty; I haven't read either yet.

See if it's worth doing what Danny B suggested in Post 3 (I think)

I concur with Danny B. Do an Update, it needs it

UpdateForum

Even if you can't be bothered to update the Edited Entry, don't delete this one. I don't see why it can't sit comfortably in the regular guide, regularly appearing high on the results list for 'Lorem Ipsum' searches.

An update would be ideal, though

Drat. This is really good. And there you go: something I didn't know too.

On the assumption that you are going to do some merging, I thopught I'd mention that there's a 'layouts are laid out' in there somewhere which reads a but ugly, and I'm not too sure how necessary the roundoff about Thursday Next is (I mean, don't get me wrong, love the books, but...).

Still, it is very clear and logically done.

I'm sorry, but I really think that you *have* to inlcude the Thursday Next books. I was reading it, until I came to that bit, I was mentally composing my PR post on Thursday Next.

Is there a reason why this one is still in Peer Review/

Propose move to Entry

Still this is a good one!

HELL

Yes, there's a reason. My indolence.

I've now partly got over my indolence...but not sufficiently to trawl through what are ironically known as the 'Help' pages to work out how to make the move.

C&P and delete from PR?

Go to PeerReview, find the Entry in the list and click the 'x' next to it. When you next go to the Entry the 'Submit to Review' button should have reappeared, and you can submit to the Update Forum

Ah! Should have guessed. After all, it was so freakin' obvious...
