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

This looks really good to me, Anna! I was wondering myself about whether it was possible to give a different message for the Flea Market than for the others. By having a neutral automated message and a more detailed help page I think you've got around the problem nicely.

Perhaps you could add 'or abandoned this entry' to the Flea Market message 'Your entry has been put into the Flea Market because it's believed that you've disappeared from h2g2' since some authors may not have actually gone, just given up on that particular entry in Peer Review.

I'm very impressed with the quick response!

Dear Azara,

There's been a good response to the text in Peer Review. Lucinda suggested that the text for the Flea Market submissions should read:

'If your entry has been submitted to the Flea Market, the person who submitted it probably thinks that it has some worthwhile content, but it needs a good deal of work before it could be accepted into the Edited Guide. The person who submitted it thought that you had left h2g2, so if you're reading this, welcome back!

'Alternatively, you may have submitted the entry to Peer Review or the Writing Workshop and then temporarilly left h2g2. If an entry is in either of these review forums, and the author does not post to h2g2 for over two months, then the h2g2 editors may remove it and resubmit it to the Flea Market.'

I've done a few other twiddles as well.

Hopefully will make things a little clearer and won't be so insensitive!
