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

Entry: Winnipeg Poem - A759530
Author: Researcher 195437 - U195437

The opening personal declaration of Christian faith notwithstanding, the poem which follows is worthy of the highest praise from this fellow Canadian. Canada has longed for a poet who touched the earth for quite some time. Leonard Cohen serves us well on matters of the soul, the body and the heart but he doesn't actually live here much anymore and he never gets his fingers too deep into the soil that is my homeland. This researcher does.
Not since Bliss Carman praised the Tamarac have I been so stirred to national fervor.

Oh Krupp! I just realised this is a poem and it's very personal and won't be considered as an Edited Entry. Sorry folks, my positive enthusiasm for this wonderful piece temporarily clouded my judgement. I should have sent it to the Flea Market where <./>agggag</.> can rescue it and publish it in the next issue of the h2g2Post.

Wow yeah! An all Canadian poetry issue of AggGag!

"Winnipeg Poem" will be featured in this week's issue of AggGag in the June 6th edition of the Post.

umm, strange things happen

jwf, how about removing this from PR? Just follow the banner (or the "Guide Entry List" link in the top right corner of this conversation page), then scroll down to the 'remove' link and click there.

Yes of course. But I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.
I can get to the PR page, and I see it on the list, but any 'remove' buttons that might be there are hiding from me.
Does one need to be an scout, sub-editor or something to get 'remove' buttons? If you have the ability please do it.
thanks

Damn. I have been to the FAQ page and the instructions there are no more helpful than usual. I see no 'Entry List' and no 'Remove' buttons attached to this entry or to this review conversation.
I understand that as the person who recommended it I should be seeing this button, but I am not.
I see no 'Guide Entry List' in the upper right or elsewhere. But there is a column of entries listed on the PR Forum page called 'Guide Entries In Review'. But clicking on any part of that line only takes me to the entry (with no attached conversations), back to this conversation or to the author's homepage. I still see no buttons anywhere.

but it's supposed to be there. The 'Guide Entry List' is on the top right corner of this conversation listing in both Goo and Alab*ster (haven't checked with frames though), right above the disclaimer
"Most of the content on h2g2 is generated by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public...."

Clicking on the link takes you to the list 'Guide Entries in Review" at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/RF1?entry=0 , which I gather you have found already. The rightmost link of the line pertaining to this here conversation ought to read 'remove' and it's only visible to the Italics and one or two more researchers: the author and (in case someone else posted the entry for review), the one who submitted it.

Got it.

Strangely, because there is no header for that 'column' I can't say now for sure that it was not really there before, but this time it definitely was, just to the right of the author column as you predicted. And I have clicked it, with great satisfaction.

well, sometimes the server decides to display all buttons and links in a friendly black colour on a black background

Hi I should mention that when I say "Jesus," I meant the homeless person in Winnipeg who looks (looked?) like Jesus. He was outside on Pembina Hwy for years.

Thanks for the kind words,
