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

Hey all, this is a jazzed up version of something I've had in mind for a while. I'd like to get something added to the edited version of the guide at some point, so constructive criticism/ positive points would be appreciated.

Thanks

Initiall reaction - I like it.
Give me a couple of days to think about it a bit more, though, but overall it's encouraging - a better article.

Kidsturk, you don't have to resubmit the yarn to Peer Review every time you update it. Doing that only clogs up the Peer Review page and makes life difficult for people who are searching for gems.

I see you have found the links I suggested in the other (earlier incarnation) forum. The article is looking good.

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.

If they haven't been along already, the Scout who recommended your entry will post here soon, to let you know what happens next. Meanwhile you can find out what will happen to your entry here: http://www.h2g2.com/SubEditors-Process

Congratulations!

Wooh!
That's really great news!
Thanks a lot.
I'll be in a fair amount tonight (14/12/2K) so maybe reply later?

Kidsturk, your yarn will now be sent to a sub editor for editing. After editing, the yarn will await its turn to star on h2g2's front page - at which time you will be sent an email announcing the happy event. Well done.

Thanks a lot Loony!
Am going to have to be strict with myself not to mess around with it too much...!

P.S: If that dancing student bit expands into an entirely new article, can I put a link to it in after this article's been edited?
Maybe not, methinks. Would it be alright just to create an article over the next few days to link to, and write it before the editing takes place?
Not sure!

Once the yarn is sent to a sub you will lose the ability to change (edit) the article - The edit button will disappear. Until that happens it is save to make alterations.

After it is sent to a sub you can still post new stuff in the forums attached to the yarn. Usually the sub will read (and sometimes comment in) said forums. In this way the sub can add any relevant links and new material to the version they are subbing.

Once the sub sends the article back to h2g2 only the permanent (paid) staff can change things - and, at this stage, only the day after the article appears on the front page. (The paid staff read the comments posted in the finished - Edited - articles forum)

Hey Kidsturk .. its me your subbie. Your article is in my Subeditting Playground at www.h2g2.com/A342884.

If you have anything to add or comments on any changes I make let me know here ASAP.

Cheers!

Hiya!
I haven't been around H2G2 much recently- start of uni term and all that.
Okay...I don't think that there's much more I wanted to do to it, but I WAS thinking of maybe expanding the dancing categories thing, but a link to a non-existent (as yet) article isn't such a great idea!
No, nothing else.
Let me know if there's anything you want me to clarify or rewrite!
Kidsturk

I will , thanks Kidsturk

Heya Beeble!
Long time no...site?

Anyway, I thought I'd say hello and Enquire after the status of my article in the editing queue!
I know that you've probably acquired quite a backlog, but I'm really curious!
Once again, any changes or anything, just let me know.
