The H2G2 Editors Started conversation Nov 23, 2001
For those of you interested in the various Review Forums, we've put together a graph at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A661510 of the number of entries in the various Review Forums over the last few months. Enjoy.
In case anyone missed it first time round, there's also a graph of Edited Entry Length at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A643664 to keep those statistics fans happy...

i'm having trouble interpreting the first graph because i don't know what the abbreviations mean. ww = writer's workshop; cww = collaborative writer's workship; pr = peer review, and that's about all i've figured out, that with the help of some kind soul who dropped by to tell me.
and how can they do a graph for *all* the forums on peer review, anyway? is mine included? it has 4 postings!!!

Hey! You there in the corner! Yes you, caretaker of ancient monuments and small armchairs. Did you just mutter something about bean counters?
The colours are pretty. I haven't a clue what fm and aww are either. First rule in graph mystification - put the key into code .

the flea market is the place where you the eager researcher can pick up second hand guide entries on the cheap - do you hear 5 pounds? do you hear 3 pounds? Do you hear 1 pound? NO, you dont hear any of those prices because they are giving them away, FREE .
A sadly large number of entries that get entered into either the PeerReview or the writers workshop are abondoned by their origional authors - If after three months (I think) an entry in the PR or WW threads has been untouched and unremarked upon, and if the author appears to have left the building, some very tidy scouts (Bossel ) notice the lack of update action and nominate for the Flea Market - once it is there anyone can come along and make a copy of the article, and re-write/edit/augment it until they think it is ready once again for Peer Review... the Flea Market is the place where dead entries go for purgatory before being cast out unloved, unwanted, unrefined.
For a stirling example of how the Flea Market works, check out the Frisbee EDITED guide entry, and the old Peer Review/ Flea Market threads that are attached below it....

thanks for the info, but I've had enough old thread reading for one week. I've been running around the FM and the Aww trying to resurrect some of the entries. There's a little effort going on at the AGGH right now to shlep some of the better ones into a column on the post.

It's later than you think, as Arch Obeler used to say on the radio in an ancient program called 'Lights Out'.
