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

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A532090

I think this, my own entry, should be Edited because there is already an entry in the guide covering what anime is generally, but it does not cover specific series, as this obviously would be an impossible task. I think that having individual entries devoted to specific series or titles would be a good way of helping people to learn more about this vast medium, especially considering the relatively low knowledge amongst the general public of Japanese animation.

Thankyou,

Kipper.

This is an interesting topic.

It would be best, however, if you would remove the first person references (i.e., all the "I"s), as these are not used in this kind of entry for the edited guide.

Will be back with more comments later.


Mikey

Thanks for the advice. I have now removed all the personal references.

Kipper.

This is looking great!

* As the link to MVM as been blotched out by moderators, I would suggest removing the blotchy bit.

* This entry would also look better and be more readable if it was done in GuideML. If you haven't done GuideML before, you could learn the basics in about 15 minutes.

If you're absolutely averse to learning GuideML, a sub-editor can do it for you once the entry is accepted into the edited guide. However, entries where the author has gone to the effort of doing some GuideML his/herself seem to get accepted a bit quicker.


Mikey

Oh, and the "Kipper explains" bit should be removed from the title.


Mikey

Thanks again for the feedback. I have edited the title and removed the squashed link. I'll see if I can learn some Guide ML tonight.

Kipper.

I have now converted the plain text entry to GuideML. Do you have any comments?

Kipper

Kipper -- this is looking much, much better!


Mikey

Kipper -- congrats! I've recommended this entry, and it's been accepted for the Edited Guide! Sometime relatively soon (i.e., within the next weeks), it will be edited by a sub-editor, and then by one of those oh-so-cool staff editors, and will then have the amazing honor of showing up on the h2g2 front page!

Keep up the good work!
