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

Currently opening the site twice so i can talk to you and correct at the same time - am i correct in assuming that since i can't sue GuideML i have to enter the whole web adddress - i can't hide it under a single word?

Yes, that's the only way to display it in plain text. It needs the http:// bit, too.

Most problems now fixed.
History added - anyone have thoughts on what should be different with it.
Smileys removed as have a couple of first person comments. CAn you point out how i should change it concerning this point ,if i have not already done so, as i read through it for any obvious use of it but i don't know how it comes accross to anyone else.
A few more typos fixed but there will no doubt be more elsewhere.
I think the link works - it is simply quite clunky to have the whole thing

If you want to put it in GuideML, we can help you

I don't know anything about facebook's history, but it looks OK to me.

There's no need to change to guide ml, nbb. Any sub-ed (should this make it into the edited guide) can easily add the necessary codes, links etc.

I'll tink Ill leave it to the sub-eds but cheers for the offer.
Any more suggestions on things to be changed? Or can i leave it as it is, with.
If something is suggested i just need to remove the bit at the bottom and add you as additional researchers

Well, you could do as Elentari suggested and check for spelling errors and grammar. Then people in PR will have to concentrate on the content, rather than on spelling/grammar.

thats the hardest suggestion i've been given so far

Give me a while i'll have to pluck up the mental courage for it

9 problems found and fixed, i suspect the number of msitakes is now quite small but the problem is afer viewing any text for long enough the mistakes start to appear correct DOH!
Do people think that i can move it to PR - after anotehr check and the addition of researchers?

does anyone know how i get myself set as writer and you guys as researchers?
At the moment its put me as editor and doesnt that disappear once in PR?

You don't need to set us as researchers - it's your Entry, we're just helping out If you'd like an "additional research by" note just put that at the end of the Entry, and your subbie can convert it to Guide ML eventually; but it's not necessary.

As for the "editor" thing - you will remain the editor of this version, because you are the person able to change the entry. When an entry gets through PR, a copy of it is made, which is sent on to the sub-editor. The subbie will then appear as Editor and you as researcher/author

ah cheers i'll add to you to the page
Cheers all its off to Pr
assuming i don't find any more spelling mistakes

I'll just post you a few things that jumped out at me:

a ongoing an ongoing...

messanger device similar to MSN Messanger ...messenger... Messenger

for prefering facebook over ...preferring...

christians united Christians

can normally be seperated into ..separated...

from users pages users' pages/user pages

that facebook itself posseses. ...possesses

causing a possibile risk despite restictions on ...possible...restrictions

Occasionly when users have set their - occasionally

problematic area Facebook posseses ---possesses

when an account is shutdown but problems arised about whether ...shut down...arose

was that when user's deleted ---users

wow - thats jsut depressing

I'll change these - must have been truly awful before i took out a good handful.






n.b yes there is a spelling mistake in this comment

I type the jsut all the time.

Most are mere typos, no need to feel depressed.
