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

Entry: Washing Up - A5907053
Author: geminijune - U2104634

This is my first guide, please be kind with your suggestions!!

Well thought out and structured.
I think this is a good entry that is well worthy of the guide - even intersteller hitchhikers will probably, at some point, have to wash dishes for the first time, right?

I also loved your final comment - not only was it amusing, but very, very sound advise.

Well done, and i'm sure it will end up in the edited guide!

Thank you, you've really made my day now , I didn't think I had the hang of GuideML, but it doesn't look too bad.

It would be nice, however, to create a new line without a space above and below it - is there a way?

HEADER
Then the subject...

(instead of)

HEADER

Then the subject....

also does it accept centralisation, justification etc, are there TAGs for these aspects?

My only suggestion for using all these techniques is this;
Type the entry up in Microsoft word first. When it is to your satisfaction, just copy and paste the entry into the site.
This will definately take care of the one line on top of the other thing, but i'm not entirely sure that it will allow justifications, alignments etc.

Also, Word will pick up any spelling/grammar mistakes!
hey, we all make them.
I think i just made one now!

Thanks, will try that the next time I get an idea!!

Welcome to Peer Review geminijune

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we already have an Edited Entry on this subject - Washing Dishes - A337006 and only one Entry on any given subject is accepted into the guide.

Sometimes when this happens it's possible to write an Entry from a different angle, but in this case, I don't think that's possible either.

Unless anyone else has any suggestions on a different angle, I'm sorry, but you'll need to remove this from Peer Review.

awww!
there's a shame.
Keep the entry! it's very good, maybe you can re-work it at a later date if you come up with an angle, and just leave it in the unedited guide for now.

Look forward to you future entries though!

How do I remove it from Peer Review?

If you look at the coversations list at the bottom of the main Peer Review page you'll see a little X next to your Entry, click on that and it'll be gone.

You could try Updating though, that's always worth it

Check out UpdateForum for pointers on how to do it

Just to clarify what Emmily said:

"only one Entry on any given subject is accepted into the guide"
Only one entry on any given subject is accepted into the *Edited* Guide. Any Researcher can write an entry about any subject whatsoever (within the <./>House Rules</.> of course), and all entries are part of the overall Guide - h2g2, but there can only be one edited entry on any given subject. It's not unknown however, for people to write an entry about a subject already covered in the Edited Guide and to come at it from a different angle or to describe a different aspect of it, thereby not duplicating the content of the existing entry.

'Alternatively you could buy a dishwasher and put your feet up'.

This is what Mrs RBA did when I had to go to Russia for 3 weeks on business.

Ever since, I've felt deprived of the opportunity to unwind after w*rk by dioing the w/u whilst looking out at the garden through the kitchen window. I don't feel like talking to anyone for about an hour after I get home.

Good idea, i'll try it from that perspective!! thanks
