hello there!
What about an entry about Conan O’Brien? He’s my most favorite TV host, and I would write an article about him myself, but unfortunately my English is not the best. I’m not a native speaker, thus the article would be full of mistakes if it was written by me. 
As far as I know there’re no entries about Jay Leno or David Letterman out there as well… well, maybe someone would like to write an entry about (American) late night shows in general?

I think you should write the entry yourself - there are lots of people around who can help you with your English once you have got the basic ideas down in an entry!

I agree with Cyzaki. There are plenty of people around who would be happy to help. Don't be shy.

Hey Kat,
seeing your posting, I wonder, why do you think your English is not the best? But I'm not a native speaker myself...

well, I've quite a lot of problems with English grammar. and I use vocabulary the wrong way... it would take me years to eliminate all the mistakes. in a nutshell, I don't want to publish an article full of flaws and I can't afford the time it would take me to get rid of the mistakes.
well, maybe if a native-speaker did some proof-reading it could work. 
anyway, at the moment I'm pretty much occupied with my courses of study... perhaps I'll make an attempt in a few weeks.
greetings

I'm a native speaker. I promise I will proof-read your entry. Let me know when you have it written and I will look at it, or put it into Peer Review and I will look at it there.

I am a native English speaker too, so we could all work together to get your entry up to Edited Guide standard
Let us know if/when you need some help with it!
