Entry: Fish spas - A87732750
Author: Beatrice De'Ath - U190170

While you're in there updating Bea...

and many spas in Asian *tourist resorts*
Sometimes this is down to *the* individual
least --> last?
establishement --> establishment (x2)

We had one of these on our high street. It lasted about 3 months and I never saw anyone go in there...

|>>A question: What are 'crocs'? From context, I'm guessing they're slippers or flip-flops?

The Croc spa ensures maximum removal of skin. And legs.

Next door to the hippo spa, I take it?

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 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!

I don't think Beatrice has done any of the updates, or considered any of the reviewers comments??

I did as far as I could - I couldn't find the answers to your questions as regards animal welfare - sorry - so I just included a statement that there were concerns.

Ah. I thought nothing had been done as the typos etc are still there.

It would have been nice if you'd posted to update reviewers, as I might have been able to find some sources. Shame, as I think more work was needed on this one.

Hi Mina

I might ask to sub-edit this one myself, so I'd be really grateful if you could provide some material regarding welfare issues, and then Bea could let me know if she'd like it adding to her Entry.

I can hang fire on requesting this one and alert the other GEs not to send it to another sub-ed without ensuring they check on this thread.

Here's a couple of links, although the RSPCA comment is the same on both I think. I have no idea why it was hard to find information on welfare.

Just withdraw it, I have too much going on in real life at the minute to do this justice.

Lanza, I've done a standard sub-editing on this entry, but I see you wanted to take it to address Mina's concerns. Will I pass it over to you?

No, please carry on Gnomon. I think this Entry is highly topical and will have many people wanting to read it, to see both sides of the story.

If you like, I can add some suggested links for the Entry and post them here.

Looking at the subbed Entry, you appear to have found a good selection of links already Gnomon.

cheers

OK, it's done. I added one of Mina's links on the last sentence and put the other two into reference links, so they will appear in the right margin.

There are still typos in there.

Where?
