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

The disclaimer in Brunel for non-edited entries says
<< Unlike Edited Guide Entries, the content on this page has not necessarily been checked by a BBC editor. If you feel this page could be improved, why not join the community and edit the page or start a conversation?>>

Has this disclaimer been changed recently as I don't remember it saying that but I may be remembering the Albaster and Classic disclaimers which don't say the above.

The first sentence is a very good idea as although the difference between edited and non-edited is now clear to me, it is one of the things I remember clearly from a decade ago when I was new. I thought "but they are all edited aren't they?" , it says right there "edited by".

The second sentence doesn't seem quite right. Someone other than the author (and mods and staff) can't edit the non-edited pages can they? Or is this some new horrid plan I have missed the announcements about.

I've never noticed that before. I have the impression it's new, though.

It's a fair point. On an Edited Entry, there are two boxes giving credit. One says "Written and Researched By", the other says "Edited By", and gives the name of whoever sub-edited it.

On any non-edited Entry it just gives the "Edited By" box, and lists the author there. It would be more easily understood if it said "written by".

Since there's a redesign of the site pending, though, it's probably not worth changing anything in the current skins.

Hi all. It's a very good point regarding the 'Edited by' field in Unedited Guide Entries - so we'll make a note of that.

As mentioned above, plans for the redesign are afoot so skin-specific concerns will be added to the list of things we'll have to address.

We've not knowingly changed the disclaimer on the brunel pages, though, so we'll investigate that.

That's definitely not what it used to say.
