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

Ditto to what Mina said. To credit two researchers with the same credit, does one do this:


GreyDesk


David B


or this:


GreyDesk
David B


?

David B

Simpost with the eds...

Can it be used with the user name, like the LINK BIO tag?

Not according to Post 1.

B

Now why didn't I think of reading posting 1 fully?

Good job I don't have to start going through my backlog to properly credit the entires.

Although this will make it good in the furture for those little snippets which I always credited anyway. Gnomon could never supercede me when I gave him a credit.

Am I right that it only works with Brunel? Or is it hiding somewhere in Goo?

Ignore that, I found out that I had a scroll bar.

Thanks, B


I wonder if one could do a bit of nesting with the tag. I'm thinking specifically the fun and games of:

Traveller in Time trying to find the SUB-Editor
"Any chance the SUB-Editor will get the credit for sub editing instead of writing the entry?

As this is a major part of the crediting confusion it would be helpfull too. "

The subeditor gets credit for editing the entry, not writing it.

Okay I wanted to check something

I've been creating an RPG and wanted to acknowledge Robert E Howard on every page - this might let me do it.

Unfortunately Robert E Howard is long dead and buried.

So could I possibly put the U number as mine (asmodaidark), yet change the name thats there to robert e howards? As follows:


Robert E Howard


I know the origina idea was for the edited guide, but I know many others would be keen to seize upon this new big of guide ml and make it there own.

I've not had time to test this yet (off to do it now), but am I breaking any rules doing this(*)


(*) - I say that because I'm not actually Robert E Howard, I'm just wanting to give him a mention everwhere.

at GreyDesk's idea. I wish I had time to play

So, anything before today stays the same, (I was hoping my seti@home entry could possibly count as a solo one) and if we wish to credit contributors but not co-authors, it still counts as a solo entry?

From what I understand of post 1, this is something that will only work on Edited Entries, so it'd just be a waste of time to put it on a game, since it won't show up.

to the editors

Traveller in Time writing many entries
"Actually I am wondering what is new about this, this has been introduced for Edited Entries nearly a Danda ago . . . (the date on conversations during that event show up already)

About the SUB-Editor:

When we write an entry we show up on 'Edited by: ' But the SUB editor should be credited (Only on Edited Entries) as 'SUB-Edited by: '
Just to clear out the confusion (It is confusing, even HooToo aboriginals make the mistake)

About for Edited Entries only:
Pity, how about < <./>ThePost</.> > the < <./>UnderGuide</.> > or the other collectors ? "

You're right, TiT, it is a flaw in the system that we show up as "Edited by" on our own (unedited) entries. That's because the system was designed for Edited Entries, not for the unedited guide.

I don't think the Edited Guide existed when the site was launched.

Thats and entry in itself "the history of the Edited guide"

Traveller in Time done some research
"There were about two hundred Edited Entries on the official Launch date.

The system for getting Entries into the Edited Guide as a Researcher was completely different at the time. Hmm, there was an entry about the [Reject] button somewhere . . . "
