Hello... Don't panic!

The most probable reason why you are reading this right now is that you have been sent here from a Peer Review (PR) thread. In any other case, the following text will not apply to you.

Why?

Most probably you are new to h2g2 and the ways of the Peer Review (PR). And most probably you have submitted an Entry to Peer Review which shows one or more of the typical beginner's mistakes. This Entry has been set-up to make things easier for us scouts, and to avoid having to write the same old commentary to the PR thread over and over again (don't forget that you are not the only newbie).

There is already a section in the Deciding What to Write... (if you didn't read it go do it - it's a bit of tedious reading, but you'll be a lot smarter afterwards) explaining some basics about contents and style and what to write about. There are however no examples of what not to write.

Some examples here:
My town is the most boring place on this planet
Top 10 fun things to do with my school's fire-extinguishers
Why do my teachers suck
€-RöCKZ R00le$ : CUZ HE"S A K00L DOOD
10 reasons why a beer is better than __________
Hoopy Froods and the Ultimate Question.

Remember: "We KNOW that the books of DNA were written in a certain style and actually he was a founder of this site. Anyway, entries submitted to *Peer Review* are aimed for the EDITED part of the guide. This part is meant to be *real*, *factual*, from *this* world and from *this* time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:Please take a look at Writing-Alternative and ThePost for places to hold anything fictional, creative, humorous, lively, and perhaps even more interesting to read.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2:Check this out: Learning to Write

There is another type of typical newbie-Entry: essays that have been written as a school homework or that have been published elsewhere (e.g. personal homepages). There's nothing wrong with that, however, they are commonly aimed at a certain group which might have a significantly different composition than that of the h2g2 community.
Now, some topics might not be highly interesting to a hobby gardening philatelist, but he should at least understand what it's about. In such Entries it is sometimes necessary to draw intermediate conclusions, or give intermediate examples, or explain what would happen if things were NOT as described - Especially if the Entry is on a 'difficult subject' - like 'The Symmetry of the Universe and the existance (or non-existance) of god.'

How to withdraw my PR Thread?

It's a lot more simple than it sounds. And it is usually easier for all the involved if the Author removes his trhead by himself. Here's how to do it:

Peer Review is one of the most attractive features of h2g2. There, people discuss about your input. The possibility to give an oppinion which is likely to be heard is tempting. People starting in h2g2 are very enthusiastic about that.

The first thing they discover when searching for something in h2g2 is that there are three types of entries: Edited, Recommended and the Rest. The first impression is that the Rest is not as cool as the Edited and Recommended Entries. Having an entry recommended or even edited is one of the most desirable things for a typical newbie - as this is a certain degree of recognition. Undoubtedly it feels cool to have that 'Recommended' or 'Edited' mark on one's Entry.

PR is one of the hottest places to go in h2g2. It takes some time for the newbie to discover other places like the Alternative Guide and the Post and other forums. PR is easily accessible, and much of h2g2's structure are based on that forum.
