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

I wrote this entry a long time ago, and meant to submit it, but never got around to it.

Nice article! I didn't know that rice cookers were so versatile. As well, that they were so simple. The ones I see on Iron Chef always have lots of expensive computer gadgetry.

A suggestion: maybe you could use a numbered (or unnumbered) list to separate the steps in your recipie.

Also, in paragraph 3: "...bear in mind that, unlike a regular stew pot..." I don't think that the comma after "that" should be used. It breaks the flow of the sentence.

Also, don't end the article in ellipses (...); just a period will do. It brings a bit more closure.

An excellent article.

Great article!!!

Good point there, JyZude, but the comma and ...s etc are fine for now, the Editor can sort that out if it gets picked. Content's all that's insanely important at this stage - I reckon it's got brilliant content

Nice one.

Well, y'see, I couldn't find anything wrong with the content of the article. But I wanted to say a bit more than "hey good work". I had to provide some constructive comments. So I went for punctuation. Besides, I'm all for saving the editors' time.

I wanted to say a bit more that "hey good work" too.
Anyway, that's all hoopy with me.

A good idea would be maybe to split up the entry a little more, with subheadings - it might run a little smoother.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I have updated the article accordingly. Thanks for the compliments, too.

I think I tend to overuse ellipses in my writing. In my mind, it's sort of a written substitute for the conversational phrase "You get the idea." It was a particularly good suggestion to remove the ellipses from the end.

Woooh! Much much better! easier to read, great!

Ok!!! Consider this entry a part of the Guide! Well, almost. It's gone into the Editorial Process now, and it might take some time before it's ready - but you'll get an email telling you when it gets accepted. Well done

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.

Congratulations!
