Hi RedGem!

I'm in the Peer Review thread for your Uncertainty Principle Entry and thought I should come here to give you some help. I really think you picked an interesting subject and I want to tell you that nobody in the thread was in any way angry or fighting, which seems to be what you think. We were only trying to help you to write your Entry.
Maybe you should first have a look at our guidelines for Approved Entries: A53209
As you see it says
'The starting point for many Entries is often passion or curiosity for a subject. Entries shouldn't be short on facts or detail and you should do your research.'
and
'A potential Approved Entry should be instructive, informative and factual - if these three factors form the basis of your entry then you are heading in the right direction. We are often astounded by the quality and detail of some of the entries.'
Maybe you find this one helpful: A25172309
It also gives examples which you should maybe have a look at.
I think these two points were where people in the thread tried to help you. They gave suggestions for research. If you have read a few approved Entries you will see that they usually are very different from yours. This does not mean that you should not go on writing Entries, but I think your expectations of what goes into the Guide are different from what we really do. Maybe also read some Peer Review threads for other Entries (and the Entries themselves of course).
Trying to provoke thought is a good thing, but Entries should (as mentioned above) be thoroughly researched and factual, which does not at all think they should be boring!
I hope this helps you a bit. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.

Dear RedGemAlchemist. Since you seem to be unable or unwilling to take the advice of fellow Peer Reviewers with regard to this Entry, we have removed it from Peer Review. Should you, at some time in the future, wish to continue with it, we will be happy to assist you. Before doing so however, you should follow the advice given above by one of our colleagues, and look at the style of some existing Entries.
Thank you for your interest in the h2g2 website.
