Just follow the instructions on the page - you need to get in touch with the original author to let them know you want to take over the entry, then you need to make a new Entry, one which you can edit, and copy the original GuideML into it.
Good luck!

"Post your intentions to the writer on their Message Center.
(if that fails post to the entry and the review thread)
Use < <./>test2280467</.> > for the entry < A2280467 > to see the content. (This is one of my entries, and not a Flea Market entry)
Copy and paste between the
tags to a new entry you have just created.
Add the Anumber of the original entry for some reference. "

"you need to get in touch with the original author to let them know you want to take over the entry"
99% of the entries in the Flea Market are there because the original author is no longer active, Trin, so there's little to no chance of getting in touch with them - "Ask them to drop you a line should they return to h2g2" Writing-FleaMarket

Ah yes 
That is what I meant ('get in touch' as in 'leave a message' on their PS - you certainly don't have to wait for a reply).

Sometimes the Researcher is not from this site, for most Researchers leaving a personal message is not possible.
Only if you are Signed in to their messageboard you can leave them a message, do not let this stop you, just leave a message on the entry. "
