Hi James Casey,
In my opinion you need to combine some of the sentences in this together - in places it feels almost like it's in note form.
Apart from that, a solid and helpful Entry!
Whoami?

No-one else commenting on this one?
I think on the whole this is a smashing entry, though as Whoami? notes soem sections read a little as if they're in note-form (mainly the intro). Also there's a teensy-little bit of a self-congratulatory tone in noting the 'nice phrase' but aside from that I think this is great.
In fact, a Scout agrees and has recommended this entry for incusion into the Edited Guide, but I just thought I'd check in and ask James if he's coming back to this?
All the best,
Jimster

Awfully sorry about the 'nice phrase' bit, for a moment I must have thought I was Douglas Adams.
Will try to have a look at this later on today.

For goodness' sake, *I* wanted to pick this!
It would be great if you could work on this a. s. a. p. so that the subs can get their teeth into it!
Whoami?

Not sure if it isn't too late to make comments if a scout has recommended it, but here goes.
When I went to Rotterdam, I thought the museums were worth visiting (can't remember the names, but there was a great one with an exhibit about the old colonies with shadow puppets and an exibition of whirling dervishes). There were also great restaurants with Thai food. There were also trips round the harbour. Who could visit Rotterdam without mentioning those?

I could. And, factually enough, did.
Strictly speaking, does one include museums in 'sightseeing'? I would argue (and appear to be so-doing) that 'sights' refer to stuff wot looks good from t'outside.
I guess there needs to be an over-arching 'What To Do In Rotterdam' article, with sight-seeing, tourism, kulcha, etc. links from it. I humbly offer but one of these.
Though I have yet to make changes to it. Give me a bit o'time.

Oh, I dunno. I've had a look and have drunk my fill of it now. To quote Shakespeare (and why not?) 'take thou what course thou wilt'.
PS I took out the smarmy bits.

Excellent. Glad to finally press that 'Approve' button and send this Guide-ward.
Cheers James!
