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

It's a great article. Just the sort of thing the guide loooks for. A couple of pointers though. It could be broken up a little bit more with shorter paragraphs and blank lines in between them.

When you start talking about the restaurants on Church Street (Delia Smith's Atlas, love that line) you could start a new paragraph. An extra line break before you start talking about the cemetary and break that paragraph in two where you dsay "there's always something going on..."

The subeditors will probably do something similar before it gets to the approval stage anyway, but I thought you might like a few tips for future reference at least.

Cheers for your tips - I haven't done anything like this before so i'm glad of any advice that's going.

Not a problem with the tips. I sort of had to learn by fumbling about. The best thing is to look at other accepted entries and see what they're like. Unfortunately that can take a lot of reading. It works though, I have seven accepted entries (plus one collaborative). Then again I have two rejected entries as well.

But really the more likely you are to get an entry accepted the more likely you are to hang around and get involved in the community fo ra while

The hunt for me officially starts at 9am tomorrow morning, they have to find an alter ego of mine(I'm signed in as another researcher) and unmask me in one of the fora on the bloodhounds page. hopefully I cna out run them for a while. The last researcher only lasted 4 1/2 hours though. I caught him so it's my turn to go running
