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

After an initial test period, the 'Have You Missed...?' selection on the Front Page has now been rolled out to include nominations from the Community. Each week, five existing entries in the Edited Guide will be selected, based on the nominations of the Community, and repromoted on the Front Page. Full details can be found on the 'Have You Missed...?' (A793910) page. Not so much a 'Last Chance to See' as 'Classics Revisited'...

*ponders*


Oooooh, pretty!


Good idea really. I think

whats the betting the first 5 picks will be about sex?

No.....really???

Have you all run out of favourites already?

Voted

Funny, that was supposed to have had the link in it

Oh well try again, F95011?thread=200526

I see betting and sex in one sentence
looks like a british profile

No sex please, we're British!!

Great!

I've already recommended two of my personal favourites (shameless plug).

SchrEck Inc.

Which ones?
Saves me looking at the front page!!

As long as my article on David Dickinson gets a bit more attention I'm not complaining!


ciao!

It's 'Life of a Wannabe Writer' (A531820) and 'The Perils of Amateur Dramatic Stage Lighting' (A701047)

I see (I think!)
Will check them out later

You Brits should know that in Oz our talkback radio etc. is filled with soul searching over our (embarrassing) Games success compared to our apparent non success in uni standing & "matters of the mind".
My opinion is that it's very gratifying to see us cut down ourselves as tall popies. Maybe there's hope for us yet!

Can I suggest changing the instructions slightly? Obviously people have the choice of whether to subscribe to the page or not, but it would be useful if we could tell from the title in our conversation thingys that it's a "have you missed" nomination rather than a new conversation. What about asking researchers to use a heading like "HYM?: NAME OF ENTRY HERE"? Waddya think?

I'm not sure about how this nomination thing is supposed to work. Do we get one vote each, or can we vote for any entry we think deserves nomination?

Also, if the former, what about when an entry you nominate, or agree with the nomination of, gets 'picked', i.e. do we get to vote again?

You get to vote and nominate for as many entries as you like - what is rather bad form is if you vote multiple times for the same entry.

Just so long as you start a new thread for each individual entry you'd like to nominate, you can vote for as many as you want.

What if you have multiple researcher personalities?

A gadget to count the number of posts per user-number might be possible, but using the email or IP adres might go a bit far.
