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

I'd forgotton you'd quit, what's more weird however is that I was sure I saw your name today with Scout after it .

Anyways, about the smiley, I thought it would just be taken as a general bookmark post.

Bad Spelugx! You're not meant to say that!

Back to the article, here come another :

- "Hydrogen" and "Helium" don't need to be capitalised in "Creation"

- statistically likly > statistically likely; colide > collide; disrubt > disrupt

- Under "Creation", I heard that the current theory is that supermassive black holes are involved in galaxy formation. I'm afraid that I can't remember exactly how, though...

Not meant to say what? The fact that I've already done my three picks? (I estimate only one rejection) Thereby demonstrating how I feel by not enjoying the 'wooshing' sound?

Now look what you've done ... you've picked some articles I was planning to pick

(By the way, it's advised not to tell the author if/when you pick their entry: "It's advisable not to make any promises to Researchers that you will definitely get their entry into the Guide. There is a possibility that another Scout will think it needs more work, or one of the in-house Editors might think that the entry needs more work." - <./>Scouts-What</.&gt

"It's advisable not to make any promises to Researchers that you will definitely get their entry into the Guide."

I suppose not telling an author to pick an entry would qualify as upholding that piece of advice, but a stricter read of it would imply only that you make a promise, all I did was drop some hints, anyways I did say that I would pick it tonight earlier, so I was upholding *that* promise. I didn't promise to get it in the guide however.

If you're going to get pedantic, don't do it with a part-time pedant.

Hmmm... i'm off now, so i guess it is just easiest to forgive you for everything.

The typos will be corrected 2moro.

Supermassive black holes... i know they are in the center of most galaxies, but i'm not sure if they help create them, or were made afterwards.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congratulations!

From me as well!

Well done!

You will, of course, have to contact the sub if any of the facts needed to be corrected. A993350 is the new form of the article (using a few tricks, I found the article without waiting for the index to be updated )

RhoMuNuQ

Yipee! Thanks!

Looks like the sub will have to fix the typos. Nevermind.

A few days ago, you said that you hadn't checked all the facts your books - did you manage to before it was accepted?

RhoMuNuQ

"a few days ago", you mean "yesterday". There were 18 hours between my final edit and the acceptance, so _no_ i haven't checked yet.

Tango

You're right - I should have checked the date.

RhoMuNuQ

Yes, you should. Bad RhoMoNuQ!

Tango

Bad Tango! You should have checked the spelling of "RhoMuNuQ"

RhoMuNuQ

Congrats Tango! Didn't think the editors would be so fast as to not give you time to fix the typos, how, erm... 'efficient' of them.

spelugx

So they didn't retitle 'Preview' as 'Post Message' then? Nevermind, have some more ,

spelugx -- what can't remember the symbol for anymore, how sad
