tips on surviving a festival. ive likely forgotten many things...

Not bad Unc

There are a few first person references which will have to be amended, and I think it might benefit from a short concluding paragraph - I felt that it ended rather precipitously.

"...timing is imperative." "Timing is crucial" might read better IMHO.

What do others think?

Hi, Uncle Heavy!

Have you seen the entry that is already in Peer Review
Music Festivals: A Survival Guide A808094 ?

There seems to be rather a lot of overlap with your entry. It's odd - I think you had asked on Ask h2g2 about festivals before the other entry went in. I don't think I've ever seen two entries on the same topic in Peer Review at the same time!

what? noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

mine was started before his, but even so...

And now that I think about it, you'd definitely said first on ask h2g2 that you were writing about music festivals (I remember because my own idea about music festivals was a little too highbrow !)

When I saw the other entry, I thought 'Oh, he must have changed his name' ... and never got around to reviewing it.

Azara

mine is a better written article, but his is longer...

i say we combine but i do the rewrite

in my HUMBLE opinion, natch

Umm... I see the 'other' one has been recommended from
F96642?thread=203500

thank you very much you scouts

oh well. im going to huff and puff until they do mine

Bring it on, ya big wet floosie

mine is better. and lets have some damn friendshipism going here!

OK, I've taken the salient bits out of here, added them to the other article and given UH a co-credit. Be grateful you've got a patient Sub-editor on your side. Oh, and take this out of PR.

That's the last time I casually think: "Hey I'll write a bit of an article about that."

I'm still relativly new to this lark and I'm sorry if that article stepped on your toes, but I was unware that you had written on this subject previously.

As for "friendshipism" I don't know what you're implying there.

Your article is very nice, by the way.

Yours is better, Nylar - it's just UH getting upptiy

Oxford boy, you know

B

thanks mate

dont worry about it nylar...im not bitter. its not the sort of thing that bothers me and yours *is* better

Right, you can all stop whinging about it now - it's gone back to the Editors (hopefully never to return).

Bejesus, what a terrible selection for your first Sub-editing!

B

So, do we still need this thread in Peer Review?

Probably not. Seconded... if you were proposing, that is

Well, actually I'm just asking. I didn't quite get it whether UH wants to continue

Judging by the posts up there^ it would seem not
