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

You know, I'd almost forgotten this entry existed! Thanks for reminding me. Info on Mordac now added. I do remember "loud Bob", but I don't think he was in for more than a few strips.

Just some spelling errors...

-"And so, our ***protaganist*** thought 'Why not?'. And so he did."

-"She's continually unimpressed with the intelligence of the highly ***qualifed*** engineers around her - with good reason."

Other than that, GREAT!

That's what fellow researchers are for.

Hello
Just a point for a footnote (possibly) wasn't there alot of fuss about Tina the technical writer? About her brittle (the writers description) nature being a sexist stereotype, so he used a character called antina (or something like that) to prove a point (or get on the complainers nerves).

I'll tell you something, I'm studying to be a programmer and when we got lectures on industrial placements the lecturer kept using Dilbert strips to illustrate standard industry practice

Great entry on a wonderful strip. I have nothing to add to the previous comments except 'well done' and 'to the Edited Guide with it'!

I first saw 'Dilbert' about three years ago, just after I'd been sacked from a job at a company that had previously made my life sheer hell - sorry, sheer heck! I found the strip highly theraputic, because it illustrated so clearly that other employees had to put up with the sort of madness I'd been through. (Mind you, Dilbert's PHB is nicer than mine was).

First off, if that statement about Dilbert being a relative unknown in Britain, then WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU????

OK, your article's good. But I am rather unsure of whether this is a legitimate point or not: The entry seems to be "talked" more than it is "written". However, noticing that I'm the only one pointing that out, I'm going to assume that the writing style is proper. I'd also like someone here to confirm that please?

But all in all, I really enjoyed reading that! (insert a smiley of a yellow face with a thumbs up here, I'm too lazy to do it)

Hiya.

I don't have a problem at all with the writing style at all, I've just re read the writing guidelines, and English Usage in the Edited Guide help pages, and I really can't see what the problem is, depsite it being not usual edited guide style. There are unconventionly writen articles in there, this one was on the front page recently A742655. After all write in your own style is one of the Guidelines.

The only thing I'd like to ask is why not put a sentance about Noram Solomons views, after all they are a serious Marxist inrterpretation of them. Whilst you may not agree with it. I think it's worth a sentance or two rather than just an aside, in the interest of balance.

Feel free to tell me to shove off if you want, and if you had a reason for leaving it out then that's fine and dandy.

Style's fine. Great entry.

Really nice entry, this.

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!

and congratulations!

I was wondering how long more this entry would be in Peer Review..
