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

Entry: Ombra della sera - Statue - A74607889
Author: The Apprentice - U35204

This is a massive re-write of the Flea Market entry A72788980. The author has gone AWOL.

In re-writing the piece, only a couple of sentences from the original survive. Indeed, so little survives that it might as well have been an entry from scratch. In researching the author's original it became clear that much of the information came directly from a Google translation of an Italian web site, so I'm wondering whether I should credit him at all...

Thoughts on the entry appreciated; and, also, thoughts on whether I need credit the original author at all given the little work that remains and the use of translated material from other web sites.

I had a similar problem with A21605320 and solved it by consensus simply by adding the tag

I hope this helps

Excellent entry by the way

Hi Apprentice

Having trodden this path before, the protocol in such a case is to not credit the original author. (email the Eds direct to remove the original article from the FM and back to entry).

I have glanced at your entry (sorry, I was just off to bed and my eyes won't let me absorb it all) but can I just say you need to replace all the double-quotes with single quotes, to be going on with

Sorry it's not more supportive, I'll have a read of the content tomorrow when my eyes are refreshed

Night night...

The Apprentice

Bravo, good rescue, and I'm glad the source of the original entry has been exposed.

Minor issues only:
<> millennia --> millennium
<> collector (singular)
<> to avoid repetition of the verb to find, perhaps...
19th century ->> 19th Century (house style)
<> statues -->statue's (twice)

Cheers for the feedback, h5ringer. All updated.



The Apprentice

I agree with GB in post 3 and would mail the Eds direct.

The Editors have been contacted, the situation sorted, and all updates made. Any other comments?



The Apprentice

Just, your title should be: Ombra Della Sera - Etruscan Statue

Done
