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

This thread is for Researchers to add the A-Number and/or PR thread of their own Entries which they feel are ready for inclusion in the Edited Guide. That means they've had a good long stint in PR and have had all suggestions/recommendations attended to.

That way the Scouts can find your happily Peer Reviewed Entry without hunting the old backlog.

What the hey...I'll start the ball rolling ;

A9319755 The 'Fairy' Tree, Beechworth Primary School, Victoria, Australia

A9183116 Worry Dolls

A9112286 King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, UK

A9058449 Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA

&

A2627309 Nelson, New Zealand

All ready for Scout Recommendation I believe

A4314377 - Cardiac Nuclear Medicine Scan

A717275 - (1)The History Of Motown (2)The Stars of Motown (3)The Funk Brothers

Can we recommend other author's entries here? If so:

A7512167 - The Little Professors: A vibrant hue in the Autistic rainbow

A9093404 - The Ebbelwei-Express - an unusual tram in Frankfurt/Main

A6466683 - Movie Sock

A9157223 - Wieners, Frankfurters, Hamburgers, Berliners and the like

A3868095 - The Peloponnese, Greece

A8996449 - The US Government System of Checks and Balances

A9478966 - Big Potato Guns

A4433717 - British Bats

(They're just the ones I can recall reading they're ready - sorry if I misunderstood you MJ)

Annie - "This thread is for Researchers to add the A-Number and/or PR thread of their own Entries which they feel are ready for inclusion in the Edited Guide". I should have emphasised the 'own ' part, as I think it's preferable authors suggest their own Entries. While it's very nice of you to bring them to the attention of the Scouts, only the author's really know if they have done all they want to do

Nice job, MJ!

Here's my entry. It seems done. Nobody has corrected anything grammatical, which I think might be a mistake, but otherwise it's got everyone who's looked at it satisfied.

A8193026

I think I'm coming round to BigAl's point of view. Authors should not be recommending their own entries here.

Oh I wonder when we'll all agree..

While I can see both sides, I was reticent to post my own entries yet felt quite comfortable posting/promoting others whom I thought were ready (having seen authors comments, MJ)

I came here to post this:
A6130306 - Richard and Judy - TV Presenters
as Gnomon just okayed it

and now feel a bit daft.

I'm off to sleep on it, goodnight all.

It might be worth having a discussion before we all go doing something new.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm using this convo correctly, but I have two entries in PR right now:

If some folks who are in this thread could take a look at A8541209 Advanced Placement Courses (USA), I'd be much obliged. I don't know what else I could add to it to make it better, but the reviewers don't seem to be satisfied.

Also, my Julio-Claudians uni project (A5836502) couldn't hurt for commenting!

Right, I've reworded the matter of suggesting Entries This is an evloving process and it doesn't hurt to try something new to see if it works. The first instance of the idea seems not to be appropriate, so I've latered the framework

So, from now on....here's a thread to suggest Entries from Peer Review that look ready for Scout picks

>>I think I'm coming round to BigAl's point of view. Authors should not be recommending their own entries here.<<

Hi Gnomon, I know you have outlined your reasons elsewhere (at least, I think you have... ) but would you care to elucidate (again)?

The problem is, as I have posted elsewhere, that for me a languishing entry, which is ready to go might not be picked for yonks, whereas PR is doing the work of the WW on others less "deserving" (for want of a better word - I don't do mornings very well)

where's the when we need it?

My big worry would be that this would end up as a clique, where people in the know come to mention their entries, so that some scouts don't really check PR enough. It could end up adding one *more* step to the process rather than streamlining it.

Azara

Indeed, I've come to that conclusion myself, so am going to remove the idea from the Official page
