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

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A641990

This is an entry I wrote, on, as you might have guessed, Planet Of The Apes,

I've done my best, but if you spot a mistake or have a sugestion to make I'd be very pleased to hear them.

Brilliant! A very nice piece of work

Only onelight comment. I would imagine the apes developed into three 'factions' not 'fractions.

Orcus

thanks, I posted this on peer review a couple of days ago and no one replied, I was starting to think no one liked the planet of the apes,

thanks for pointing out the mistake I'll rectify it now

Good article, covering pretty much everything.

In the description of Beneath... you say that the mutants detonate the bomb. I haven't seen the film in a while, but wasn't it Taylor who actually throws the switch?

The Prophet.

good point!, I haven't seen it for a while either, I'll look it up, thanks for noticing

Definately a great atricle.

Phew! This one must have taken a huuuuuge amount of time for research! I've only seen one of the movies with Charlton Heston long time ago and can only remember that it was long-winded (perhaps due to the dubbing into German) but ended in a dramatic revelation. Now I know what that revelation *was*


Just a few grammar things (these can be taken care of by the SubEd, of course, but anyway):

I guess that 'staring' should be 'starring', and a lot of your commas should be periods as they are followed by full sentences which feature grammatical subjects of their own.

'Directed' should be lowercase throughout
'They become celebrity’s' -> celebrities
'its discovered' -> it's
'should of been' -> should have been


Thumbs up!

thanks very much, I've ammended a couple of things, the rest the sub ed can do.

Oh drat! I came too late and now I'm in for a from the Subed
There was a conversation at the Scouts' place which ended in the conclusion that we should *never* use the words 'oh, leave that to the Sub'...


* feels ashamed, hides behind tree *

Don't worry Bossel. I had nothing better to do anyway.

You're lucky, I don't give slaps for free so you've got away with it.

Hmmm, sorry Bossel, must have missed that particular conversation.

Anyhow, it was my reccomendation, so



This was fourth on my list last month so I thought it should be number 1 this month.

Congratulations to the author anyhow

And no, I won't tell you, Orcus
