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

See the thread F135358?thread=343115&post=4357595#p4357595 , I've ended up leaving you're ACE message there

Anyway, you're correct forum number is F1679136?thread="smiley - ok" title="ok" class="smiley" src="http://www.h2g2.com/h2g2/skins/Alabaster/images/Smilies/f_ok.gif"/>

cheers mate!

Oh dear, I wrote you're instead of your . Serves me write for writing so late I guess

Well, I've had a look at the Guide ML and it looks like you've got it sorted now anyway.

ok then,well how do i go about becoming an ace?

Everyone loves dozdim145651 and also i would be really good at this sort of stuff if it didnt involve having to log out...

Go to the <./>ACE</.> homepage, there are links there about ACE recruitment.

Currently no more ACEs are being recruited, but when the next recruitment comes up, you'll be informed and asked to audition. Just be patient, it can take a couple of months for the next auditions.

Me again.

I've noticed you've been submitting a lot of entries for peer review lately, and haven't been pleased with the results.

I'm not sure you've read the Writing-Guidelines yet, but you still aren't writing to fit them. You don't have to submit an article for review as soon as you write it. I've written 2 solo entries myself that have since got into the edited guide. They are toffee popcorn at A972362 and Play Dough and How to Make it at A1134073. Both took me several drafts before I submitted them for review. I asked people to look at them for me, to give them a proof reading. Once I was happy with them I submitted them for review, and after making a few minor changes following advice given in the forums, they were soon scouted and put on the front page.

So what's the point I'm getting at?

Quality not quantity. You will only upset the Scouts if you keep submitting entries for <./>peerreview</.> that are incomplete, full of errors and not in keeping with the Writing Guidelines. The Scouts are volunteers that surf through peer review, give advice and then put entries forward to be added to the edited guide. Concequently, they will read through all submitted entries. People from all over h2g2 read though peer review, as here the entries included in the guide are chosen by fellow researchers. All entries are reviewed on an individual basis, so writing more articles does not mean that one of them becomes more likely to be put in the guide.

Entries should certainly not be put into <./>peerreview</.> unless they are complete. The odd spelling and grammatical error is of little consequence, but overall the article should be proof read and have as little error as possible.

I seriously suggest that you remove any articles you've submitted to peer review from the forum and work on them further. You can always resubmit them at a later date once they fit the requirements. Until they do, you will not get much in the way of good feedback, so don't expect any.

Also, please make sure that you stick at all times to the <./>houserules</.>. This is a public website and if the rules are broken then the offending text will simply be removed.

If you still have the intention of some day becomming an ACE then it is particularly important that you keep to the rules.

I'm not trying to get at you or anything like that, but if you follow the advice that people have been giving you, then you are far more likely to do get the results you are looking for.
