How do I add entries to the project that have already been written and edited? Can I do this? Do I need to beg the writers? Can I just, um, "borrow" the articles?

Hi SuperFreak,
Once an Entry has been made a part of the Edited Guide, it stands on its own and can't be included as part of a subsequent Unversity Project, I'm afraid. This is because someone has already done the work for the Entry, i.e. it's been subbed and accepted on its own merits.
What you can do, of course, is to link to the Entry in question from your Project, so that you're just mentioning it in passing. Which Entry/Project did you have in mind?

Well, I'm doing the Project on engines, and I thought that the entry/ies on jet and turbine engines might be a good addition... Could I link to them on the Project's main page, or are the articles on the main page assumed to be written specifically for the Project?
