Entry: An Aussie perspective of Columbia, Missouri, USA - A3860688
Author: Michael_Heaven - U1467941
This is an international Uni town in the heart of midwest USA. I think there could be many perspectives (German, Scottish, Thai, Chinese, Indian and that's just people from my lab!) of Columbia which may be unique in a part of the US considered so isolated from the "cosmopolitian" coasts.

Someone will be along to mention content & form, the only thing I could see (being new myself) is:

Hi Michael,
what would you say the major differences are, besides the weather? Do you notice many differences culturally between Columbia and Australia, eg. food, or how people spend their free time?

Hi Michael!
You've done really well to keep this impersonal and I like the way it's a bit different to your average city guide. Good job!
To add to (or maybe just repeat) what Bomba said, it would be great if you could expand the 'Aussie perspective' - what differences would the average Aussie find? It did strike me a little that the Aussie persepective was pretty similar to most people's! You have the makings of a great entry on your hands here; you just need a bit of work on the cultural side.
Well done again and

It's a bit hard to read as it is at the moment. If you are still around, do you think you could break it up with a few space between the paragraphs?

Flea Market. I wonder if broelan/miloso would be interested in taking this one on?

Ok, all done, and email sent, I followed GD's example, so hopefully I've done it correctly.

Looks good, although I'd add the full url of the entry since A-number links don't work on Yahoo 
And perhaps a space between each entry just to make it easy to see where one move ends and the next one starts. Oh, and some people get upset if you post skin-specific links too - you could remove the part

I'll make a note of all that. There was suppose to be a line break between each one, I had them saved in Word that way, incase aol kicked me offline in the middle of it, and the skin preference is a pet hate of mine, so I should have remembered to remove it.

"A-number links don't work on Yahoo."
Why is Yahoo used at all? I'm confused.
This, a dead PeerReview thread, is probably not the best place to be asking this, but I will anyway.

Not entirely sure (it's gone midnight, I've just stumbled across this, I'm tired etc etc) but are the proposals to move entries made on the Yahoo group? If you post a message there saying "move A123456" it means the reader will have to translate that into an appropriate h2g2 link by themselves...

That's correct - the 'reader' being one of the Italics. If you post 'Please move A123456' on the Scouts Yahoo group (which is where all requests to move entries are made) you won't get a link the way you did right there - in order to make it a link anywhere other than h2g2 you have to post the full url. I imagine that's happened once or twice on the Subs group too.

Except of course you didn't get a link because of the ' at the end of the A number
