Entry: Punk, '79 onwards - A837263
Author: Ch@rgeD - U204344

very good piece of writing, gives a first person perspective of being a punk in the 1980's.

does no-one have ANYthing to add about this entry?...whats the point of a peer review if no-one peers at it?...n'est pas?

Well y'know, we don't always get to every entry straight away - there's an awful lot going on here, and never quite enough of us to take care of it all

*Has a peer at it*

Hello nine.bar. Even without doing that I can see a problem straight away - it's all in the first person. Edited Guide Entries are meant to be written in third person. From Writing-Guidelines:

"13. Write in the Third Person

Because h2g2 is a collaborative guide, we may add in comments and material from other Researchers, and we'll credit them. Having an entry in the first person wouldn't make sense with a number of authors credited, so please write in the third person."

If this was your own entry we'd suggest that you either re-write it in the third person or take it out of Peer Review in order to re-submit it to the Alternative Writing Workshop. As you're not the author, you can't do either of those things. Have you spoken to the author?

In this case we'll get the Editors to move it out of PR - you'll know when that happens because the words 'Peer Review' will disappear from the top of the conversation and be replaced by the name of the entry. Once that's done, you can submit it to the AWW by the same process you went through to get it here, only choose 'Alternative Writing Workshop' from the dropdown menu on the submission form.

Thanks for taking the time to put the entry forward - it's one of the things that keeps this place ticking.

no worries, when its out of peer review ill put it in the right place.....um,kay?

mmkay

hmm... as the one who submits an entry, you *also* get a 'remove' link , not only the author hirself. Well, let's take care of that now.

Seconded

i see the entry is in the creative writing workshop and has started a conversation, thanks to all you peers for all your help, easy cheezers...
