Entry: Pulsars - A739343
Author: «Fådðøkïê the Frøødy» "Hooray! We're unmoderated!" - U192271

There is currently no definative article about pulsars.
I have worked for some time to transform an old paper of mine to fill this gap. I've fixed every error the people in the Writing Workshop found, and have added additional content-related links.

Oh no! It's slipped into the backlog! No wonder...
BUMP

Nothing has been remarked because there is nothing to say. You did it right, you see. This is some of the best I've seen in Peer Review for a while!

Well, it might benefit from more subdivision. A few more headers to break it up as it is kind of long. But I wouldn't know where to put them.
Good entry.

It's my first entry I've ever submitted
Yes, it is kind of long, but it does flow rather nicely as a whole...
I suppose I could put a subheader reading "The Three Clock Hypotheses" or something after the 8th paragraph (right above the binary star picture), one after the 11th paragraph (above the twinkling eye) saying something along the lines of "Process of Elimination", and after the 14th paragraph put a "Conclusion" subheader ot the like.

I don't know if that would really add a lot, but if you'd like I'll make a copy and try it out.

It just occured to me that this entry might make more sense if it was entitled "The Discovery of Pulsars", as it seems to focus less on the actual stellar objects and more on, well, the discovery.

What do you think?

-FTF

Yes, I think "The Discovery of Pulsars" would be appropriate. I'm not completely convinced about the subheaders either, but if you decide to try. I would suggest adding a header between the second and third paragraphs as well. The first two are sort of an intro, and then you start on the historical facts. You could call this "Little Green Men", or something else.
It might be that what makes me feel it's too continuous is that you've missused the tag. If you use this to enclose your paragraphs (paragraph text</P&gt you will get a space between each of them. This is standard for the EG anyway, so you might as well spare the subed the bother.
I also think there are one or two places where splitting up the paragraphs would be in order. But that will be easier to judge if you use the tags as mentioned.

All in all a great entry

I thought the same effect could be obtained if a tag was added at the end of each paragraph. It shows up on my browser (IE) with breaks. I'll try your suggestions out on a new entry to see if they work. If so, I'll edit my current one (just because I am a little iffy on the headers).

Thanks for the tips, I'll be back soon!

-FTF

I like the results so much I've modified the article itself.
Thanks a million (s)!

Oh, I also added a couple of new beeb page links- do you think the SubEd will leave in all that stuff at the bottom?

-FTF

I'm not really qualified to say what the subs will and will not do, I have a vague idea though.
I think some of the bbc links will be removed because they are news items rather than pure information pages. They are relevant however, so I suppose they might be left in.
The references to other h2g2 pages will be moved to mentions of the terms in the text where that is possible, and put in tags where not.
Both the ones linked in the body text and those hidden in the section is displayed in the data box next to the entry under "Referenced Guide Entries".
Well, they might be left at the bottom if they are particularly relevant.
I'm being awfully vague now, aren't I?

A agree that it's looking very good now.

thanks!

Do you think I ought to move them myself (I know how to use the references tag)?

I've linked almost all of them to words in the text already.

-FTF

I you like them where they are, leave them. Maybe the sub-ed will agree.

Allright, they're staying.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congrats!

Yaaaaaaay!
and and s and s for all!
