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

I searched the backlog a bit and found A62644485
it looks good but a 'moderate deluge' seems to be a bit of an oxymoron.

and since tomorrow is groundhogs day
I have the DVD of Bill Murray loaded.
do you think the ground hog will see his shadow this year.
now what was that candlemass poem again

That's the one I am tweaking as it will be the only one I can apply, as there's no-one to tweak this one in PR

Can you think of a word or sentence other than "inclement" then? It sounds to me like a moderate climate, not too hot, not too cold. A bit like where I live. I can never tell what season it is sometimes, as we get a nice spring day in winter, then snow at Easter, then a wet summer, followed by a mild winter, a warm spring, hot days in summer, wet autumn then the coldest winter on record...that's just two years. It can rain or shine any damned day it pleases. Some days we get both. I don't think we can define a climate as such, other than "moderate" or "not extreme".

I think it was here somewhere: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/extremes/2004/groundhog/groundhog.html

Re: the new BLOB that has been applied, I thought it was "Lansing" not "Langsing"

You should be looking at A62644485.

in reference to Post #85 You are right the Blob misspelled the city in which I am writing this.
I was so overwhelmed by the other inadequacies of the blob that I missed the obvious.

Oh and GB- I like the phrase inclement weather. It is neutral enough to need a qualifier like moderate.
Using a qualifier on Downpours, Deluges and blizzards
is like calling a woman a little bit pregnant.
A doctor once said she either is or isn't
and a deluge either is or isn't.
Inclement weather on the other hand can be slightly inclement, moderately inclement, or severely inclement.

OK Shagbark, try that

I promise I'll do a better illustration. Let's just use the existing one for now.

OK I will apply the update as is. If Shagbark has any other comments we can curate the original EGE

Will the Eds send out an e-mail to the author?

Here is the update, with co-authors applied: A134786

Is there anyone else whom I've missed who'd like to be added?

I was hoping redshirt42 would get to know about his update, but I don't think the Eds send out emails for updates when they're on the FP. We can always ask though.

Can I just check - is this now completed?

I've applied the update (that I took over) to the original EGE. The thread here in PR will remain until the Eds shift it to the original article, I've asked them here: F47997?thread=7270972

I didn't know updates went to the Front Page?

(This one hasn't featured there A246971)

I shan't review it then. It looked okay from a quick glance over though. Well done all.

OK can you see this list? (in Classic Goo it's on the right-hand side of the FP)

Recently Updated
Howling Bells - the Band
I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue - the Radio Series

The Solar System

is way out of date, and it should be updated. You have to poke the Eds

OK, I've done that

Go tell the Eds what needs to go on the FP F47997?thread=7270972 (original A-number of the update and the title should be fine)

Please remove my name from the author's list.
I was talked into supplying info for this because
I live in Michigan but do not wish to consider this an article I co-authored.
