h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi all

Just out of interest are you allowed to edit a submission by another? or must you contact them and ask / advise them of the mistakes and correct info.

Mike.

Hello Mike, and welcome to h2g2.

You can't edit anything else than an entry written by yourself. If you've found a mistake in an edited entry, please post this to <./>feedback-editorial</.>, giving the Anumber and title of the entry in the subjectline, starting it with EF:...

If it is an unedited entry, there's nothing you or anybody else can do about it.

I've left you a welcome message on your PS, it should answer your questions, I hope.

Bel

Thanks for the reply

Question,

If you want to add or alter an image on a post is it possible if i send the image and explination why to the mentioned feedback-editorial ??

You'd have to send an email to h2g2editorial, we can't add photos to the site ourselves. The eds will then decide whether or not to exchange or add a photo.
The usual way to have a photo added to an Edited Guide Entry, is via the h2g2 <./>Photographers</.>, though.

Does that allow me to upload a more accurate image? or am i limited to what you already have in stock?

Re: add a photo: that is if the respective Guide Entry doesn't have a photo yet.

If you join the photographers, you'll get access to their Yahoo group, where you'll get your own folder to which you upload your photos. Mind, there are strict rules to consider: any contribution must be your own, meaning that you own the copyright for it. If it is chosen and added to an entry, the BBC has the right to use it for other relevant things. Same goes for entries you write.

Hi Bel,

Welcome to HooToo, Mike

The photo added to the Guide Entry is one found by the Italics (staff), it may be possible to offer another, better, one via the photographer's club.

Mike, you will find that Matt has already approached Edited Feedback on your behalf

Ok i could be being really dense and it has been know to happen on a large scale

I have been talking to "Uncle Travelling Matt (the Hoopy)" and he is going to edit some of the information for me that is incorrect, hes been very helpful.

The bit im not sure / could be missing the very big point lol is the image on the page is not a eurasier its a chow and id like if possible to maybe alter it so that readers get to see a true eurasier.

if this is possible at all?

You must be looking at a cached version of the entry. It first had a Chow-Chow picture (and it stated it was a chow-chow), but that was exchanged with a picture of a Eurasier Dog shortly afterwards.

If its the red dog thats a really bad photo. No offense to the owner of the photo as im sure the dogs lovelly, my two eurasiers are

Its Just id like to change it to a stood eurasier that shows the build and body structure better, of course i might be being picky

So was just enquiring is all?

If i cant then I cant but i see it as at least i asked

We are always here to better the Guide

If you have a better picture, then I'm sure every effort will be made to accommodate it.


lil.

Oh, I seem to recall that the wner of the dog sent in a few photos for choice, and this one was chosen by thje eds. Personally, I think it's a lovely photo, it reflects the personality of the dog. If I wanted to know how they're built, then there are lost of websites, I'm sure.

Still, it was the right thing of you to ask.

Thanks for all the help

I promise ill stop pestering you, i have just one one question, ive just looked at the photograph page you sent me but i dont see where i would submit my picture?

im i being blind?

Mike
