Thanks Crescent, you get the famed "Golden Lips" award for being the first person to speak to me on this site. So a big Well done, and a thank you to you.

I'll no doubt be hovering around, and bothering the decent folks of this site on a more or less semi-permanent basis, since not a lot happens at work these days. Keep an eye out for me in those forums, as I pollute them with my own brand of wierdness.

My thanks for the award You have to be speedy to beat Demon Drawer and Joanna to the welcome I look forward to seeing your own brand of wierdness, and reading your guide entries (if you decide to write any . Oh, must dash, work beckons

Just stopped by to say hi, Shade. from my stall at

Joanna
PS have a fish

Can I say "Hi" too???

Please?

"Hi!"

(And Joanna, believe it or not, I *didn't* follow you here)

Thanks one and all.

I have one quick question, if I may.

How does one go about submitting an article, or addendum to an existing article?

I have tried adding conversations to threads discussing topics, but there does not seem to be a flag for requesting official attention. Is there something that I have missed?

Any help appreciated.

Once you've added a guide entry, you can submit it by clicking the edit link, and there's a button to submit this to the editors. I know of any way to request an addendom to an approved article (there may be one that I don't know of, though). If the artcle's not been approved, then the editor or sub-ed should read what's in the forum for the article anyway, and add it if they see fit.
Hope this helps

I had this prob with 'Scottish Slang'. The consensus for that was leave the original, and create another article (called 'More Scottish Slang' However you may want to ask a sub-ed (Jimi X is helpful - well he helped me http://www.h2g2.com/U53353 ....hope he can help

I see I already got mentioned, so I'd better say hi as well, lucky for Cresent I had a big backlog of forums to respond to at tea break so he could get here first. Anyway Shade it looks like you've being have fun already, and I'm sure you will continue to bring a ray of "shade" to lighten up this place.

As for advise on Guide Entry's ask away, I've got about 50 to my name and most of those are waiting for approval. If you are going to do anything vaguely related to history, once you press submit lets the rest of the historians know over at the H2G2 Historical Society

We're a helpful bunch and always willing to critique fellow researchers entries in a loving and mutual admiration sort of way.

I see you already have a so I won't bother giving you one.

Again, my thanks one and all. I have now found the submit button, by following the edit link as suggested. Thanks for that.

Depending on your interests, hopefully we shall see each other popping up in threads all over the place.

I am still getting to grips with navigating this little boat, but if we bump into each other, I'll at least say Hi before wrestling with the rudder agian.

Have fun!

You too

I think it's impossible *not* to have fun here...

Even if you try very hard with both hands...
...sorry, that was a bit random...

Random, but true.

Uh????

My post was a paraphrase from Alice Through the looking glass, I think the White Queen talks about trying to believe something "with both hands"

Not being an avid reader of Alice, gender politics and all that, I didn't realise, but thanks for the fill-in. I know the Walton's you know Alice.

I have read Alice, but I am not well-read in all things Alice, but the thought is appreciated.

Now if you want to talk about things Winnie the Pooh.....

...hunny yummm.
