There's an alphabetical listing of entries that have featured in 'Have You Missed...?'

updated today

Thanks, six7s!

I was finding it very difficult to check if entries had featured before, and the staff didn't have time to do this, so thanks again!

Azara

You're welcome Azara

It was actually quite easy to do using a rather simple feature in MS Excell, the spreadsheet

From here on, the spreadsheet is superfluous to keeping the page up-to-date... With only five new entries at a time, it can be done in a matter of minutes simply editing in GuideML ~ as long as its done *every* time, which I can't *guarantee* to do

To that end, I'd like to add some other U numbers to the researcher list

Any volunteers?

Well, the entries have not been changing every week - the last lot were up for three weeks, I think. I keep an eye on the nominations + top mine up every week or so, so I certainly would be prepared to add the occasional batch to the list. So go ahead!


Azara

Hi Azara!

I've added you, but I'm not entirely sure if that's all that's required, so please let me know if you can actually edit it



six7s

Azara won't be able to edit your entry, even if you make her a Researcher on the list. The only way to have two people edit the same document is to have a separate fictitious researcher set up specifically for the purpose. The entry belongs to him. You can then give out the password details to anyone who wants to edit the document, they login as the fictitious researcher and make the changes. That's the way that the AGG column in the Post is done.

B*gg*r

Thanks for letting me know though Gnomon

Is there anything you *don't* know ?



Merry Christmas!

Great idea!

However... A673508 Farts & Flatulence appears to be missing

Hi there Sir B!

That was because it doesn't appear on A799608 [Previously on 'Have You Missed...?'] however F81553?thread=200692&latest=1 shows that it should be





six7s

Yes I noted that after sending the above posting. Now I wonder if there are four more nominations missing

Far be it from me to accuse anyone of being pedantic, rather I admire your diligence

it's only genetic, I suppose

A882713 has been updated and reformatted a bit

Well done, six7s!

I think you should drop my name from the author list, though, since I haven't been able to help you in keeping it up to date. (Though at the rate the lists have changed, that's not a weekly job after all )

I notice you have received that rare accolade - a link from an official page by the editors to your own (better) version.

Azara

Thank you Azara

It's a pity that listing you as an author doesn't confer editing rights


Never mind, I live and learn... sometimes
