Entry: Tourist Scams in Barcelona - A76763370
Author: Skankyrich - U931109

Looks good to me, BMT

I think this is great.
er... nothing else to say really.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12257958 although not Barcelona (but still Spain), this mugging is getting enormous exposure due to the well-known victim.

This is a great entry. Someone pick it, please.

I suspect that quite a few things in PR have been picked, but the picks haven't gone through yet because the Eds are busy.

Tsk. What could they possibly be busy with?

"Placedil;a Reial" doesn't look right to me, but I don't know what it should be. "Plaça Reial" maybe?

Towards the end, "seperate" should be "separate".

Hi Skankyrich. Let us know when you have made those corrections. Some suggestions of internal and external links would be good too, if people can help.

We have slight reservations about the title. Echoing something that has been mentioned before, although the article was written with Barcelona in mind, it does talk about the sort of incidents that could happen in any major holiday destination, so we're wonder if you should emphasise that these are things you should be wary of anywhere.

The title could also suggest that the Entry contains things to look out for and avoid rather than a catalogue of crimes, so if you can come up with something that emphasises the 'public service' aspect of it that would probably sit more comfortably with us.

It's a great read though. Hope that all makes sense.

Maybe the author had his wallet swiped in a foreign city and can't get back to fix this up...
why didn't that smiley work?

I refuse to believe that Rich is gone for good, but it certainly looks like he won't be correcting this any time soon.

Corrections as per post#28 can maybe be left to the SubEd. So can we treat this a pickable as-is please?

*Ears swivel* Gone? As in, fell off, stormed off, drifted off, or just disappeared?

Ah! Dear Rich, a legend, has left the building. For now, anyway. We've just left him a message. OK then, with this Entry, as Pinniped has suggested, let's accept it and a sub can make those changes (post 28). We'll also take a view on the title as well. Good work all

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Thanks guys. I don't agree that those changes are necessary, for reasons I explained back in post 12, but it's yours now. Thanks for picking it
