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

Now let's be fair on the judges - I didn't quite push myself to the limit writing this, even though it's technically outside my field of expertise.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congrats, Alex.

Oooh, well done Alex!

This Entry will hence go forth and be part of the guide

All fine except for those em dashes you've put in. I can't remember the rationale, but the English Usage guidelines currently state "that the en dash should be used with spaces either side – like this – and that 'em dashes' should not be used."

Thanks muchly

Alex

I don't know why we suddenly began using mdash, there was a discussion though I don't have time to look, so I've switched back what I changed and I'll return to Eds nowbutton pressed thanks Alex

Ah, I remember now. I'd been informed that em dashes were used without spaces either side, and that this would upset the line breaks. I can't see any reason not to use em dashes with spaces either side, though it might upset the experts.

Thanks
