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

hi.

i have taken an interest in your varansi article and have decided to make it eligible for the edited guide.

mini

that's awesome news!!!
encourages me to write more for the forum. Mostly on the philosophy of travelling across cultures.

well, once I am done with it, I would really appreciate your feedback on it.

mini

how does the process work?
how soon can it be a part of the guide?

hmmm.... let me see. You submitted your article into Peer Review and it got reveiwed there but you left it alone for quite a while. Then one of the socunts came along and decided that it was an interesting topic but was not fully written up yet so they sent it over to the Flea Market.

At the Flea Market I picked it up. I will try and make it more EG eligible and then I submit it to Peer Review again where it will get reviewed once again and hopefully picked by one of the scouts. If this does happen, it will then be sent to the sub -editor and the article will then appear in the Guide.

Since you are back again to the community, I will fully understand if you would like to take back the article and continue writing it up. That's fine with me. After all you started a good guide entry.

Let me know...

mini

i am not sure what else would make it more EG eligible
Do you have any suggestions? I would love to see this as part of the edited guide.

well, according to the Peer Review thread F1730609?thread=396520 , they requested some paragraphs. So I have added that. I have also tried adding a few new facts here and there.... wait a bit while I post up the newer version of your article.

then you can decide if you want to undertake it again.

mini

ok. the article is at A2850969 now.

let me know...

mini

that sounds wonderful!!!
I never knew we could format the headings and stuff like that.
Thanks a ton!!!
I might add some more content here and there after researching a bit more on the history.

What next?

tell you what... you started it, why don't you continue with it and if you need some help with the GuideML or anything else you can drop by and ask me. Then you can put this back up in Peer Review and give it another go.
For you to copy the current article onto your space:

If you want to get to the GuideML for entry A123456, then go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Test123456 where you will be able to select and copy the GuideML to your local machine.

mini

how do i edit the entry now?
It seems there have been some format changes and I cannot spot a link to edit the content.

hmmm... have you done the whole test thing? if not, why don;t you just work on your original article and just put in the relevant Guide ML? Let me know whether it works...

mini

Hey! I hope that you are still around the site!!! The article has been picked and is going to be on the Front Page...

mini

Thanks Mini!!!
I have been around, but not quite so...just been busy over the days!!!
Its great to see the article picked up....will try and come up with more travelogues.

Hiya CN, I'm a Sub-editor and it's my job to basically make your entry ready for the Front page by fixing mistakes in the spelling, grammar and use of Guide ML. Just had a look over the entry and it looks very good, I should be able to finish it quite quickly. Before I return it to the Editors I'll give you a chance to have one final look and tell me about any changes you want made. Congratulations
Iago

Heya Honstylago:
Thanks for your message. Look forward to hear from you soon
cheerio

Hiya CN, I've finished editing your entry and I'm ready to send it off. Do you want to give it one final check before I do? The only thing I need to mention is that you cannot link to just pictures as there are copyright issues. Apart from that, great entry
Iago

hiya lago!!!
thanks!!
in the things to do section, the line "Another example of history that one stumbles across is Rani Lakshmibai's 5 place of birth near the Hanuman Ghat. Not too many people know about it and it is kept off the tourist map" seems a bit out of context. Can you align it after the first bullet point in the section.
Rest seems ok!!!!

CN

Done and sent off. See you on the Front Page in a few days
