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

You might not have been a Scout at the time - I think it was one where you had to be there, or you'd have never known

The reminder says three as well (I just checked) - I just don't read it.

Don't worry - none of us noticed any of your posts on this little matter.

"How about this way: if there are two ready entries and one is by a newbie and one isn't, take the newbie's? "


Just pick the better entry.

If I haven't got my eye on one in particular, I go to the older entries in PR and pick from there.

>>Just pick the better entry.<<

What if they are both good entries - just different.

Then you pick both.

If I were you I wouldn't pick that big lump on the side of your cheek there ...... you never know what it'll do.

"What if they are both good entries - just different."

Being good and bad isn't really a binary state. It's a question of degrees.

You're right, but I think the question was, if two equally great and good entries are ready at the same time which should I pick ..... (assuming you can't pick both - Bel). One is by a regular and one is by a newbie.

One is chalk and one is cheese - they're both great but very different - which should I pick .............. I think the answer is the newbie - every time, but then I'm not a Scout.

I'd still vote for 'first come first served' (unless there was really nothing in the time difference) although I might add something positive to the newbies thread.

Newbies should be encouraged, but so should authors who spend time on their entries and work hard to create quality material. I really think that the idea that there could be two equally good entries is a totally false scenario.

The best entries should be chosen first. That's it.

Entries which have been waiting the longest and are done as far as PR is concerned - that's what I pick.
