Entry: Should the tube be privatised? - A2744859
Author: twerpy - U760167

This is an essay on the question 'Should the tube be privatised'.

Hi, twerpy, sorry it's taken so long for anyone to post on this!

I think my main comment about this is that it reads very much like a school essay -- not that there's anything wrong with school essays, but Edited Guide entries tend to be written a little differently. If you want some examples, you might check out these, which are all also about the tube -- A48502A592995A673391A688232A673517

On top of that, much of this entry seems to be your opinions. And while h2g2 as a whole can be a great place to express your opinions, it's not exactly what the Edited Guide is about, which tends to be more factual pieces. There are many great forums for debating opinions here on h2g2 -- ask h2g2 and the Forum, for two.

I think it would still be possible to get an entry on privitization of the tube into the Edited Guide, but I think it would need to be a little more balanced, and read a little less like a school essay, in order to do so.

It is, as you probably guessed, a school essay. I posted it on the day i joinded h2g2 in a mad posting stuff frenzy. i didnt really think it would get anywhere.

Well, I see 2 options for you here then:

1) You can revise this into the kind of entry we use here in the Edited Guide. The links I gave you above should give you some ideas about what that would take.

2) You can pull this entry out of Peer Review -- if you do this, the entry will still be here on h2g2, it just won't be under consideration for the Edited Guide any longer.

If this is what you want to do, clicking on this link should do it for you:
