I've just read today's new approved entry on Hebrew by Ioreth and I was rather surprised to find that the entire first section of the entry was actually written by me in my own article on Hebrew. As far as I can tell, it is not a case of plaigarism by Ioreth, so my guess is that my stuff got added in by an editor. I don't mind that someone has used part of my article, but I would appreciate it if I would get credit for what I've done. I would appreciate it if you could tell me what's going on.

I combined three entries (two by Ioreth and one by you) as I thought yours had things the others lacked. At the moment there's no automatic system for crediting more than one researcher in the top corner, it has to be done manually. I wrote a note to one of the full time editors asking them to but they must have forgotten. I'll remind them, thanks for pointing it out!

Oh and Anna's away at the moment so it'll take a few days.

We apologise for the inconvenience!

That's all right. I didn't think that the editors would intentionally do something like that. Thanks.

I'll take a look through the other entries I've subbed too. It might have happened elsewhere smiley - sadface

Oh, well. We forgive you. By the way, I think you guys in charge are doing an excellent job here. You probably don't hear that nearly often enough...

Thanks!
I've just got a job (as in a proper job, in the real world!) which is deadly boring, & so subbing is good exercise for my mind in the evenings smiley - winkeye
I think somebody should set up a page for praise and admiration of the people at H2G2 HQ. smiley - bigeyes
