Hello GB,
I'm subbing your From Spiral Nebulae to Galaxies Galore entry: A87766140

Another good entry. I've mostly been worrying about the title. It's not obvious that it's going to be a historical entry, unless you know that "sprial nebulae" was a name used for galaxies (I should have known, but had forgotten). You'll see I added a subtitle, but you might have a better idea.

I also removed the link to the creationism article. It's mainly concerned with opposition to Darwinian evolution, and didn't seem quite relevant to a genuine scientific debate about astronomy.

Any comments are welcome.

Hiya Bagpusssmiley - hug

Thanks! I really like the title but your subtitle makes things clear for those non-astronomerssmiley - biggrin

I don't mind the removal of that link! It was just to make a point that there were then and *still are* people who think creationism is true.

I would be grateful if you would remove "h2g2 Guide Editors" (U14916653) from the author list before returning the entry, it's a glitch which occasionally occurs when transferring articles to sub-eds.

Thanks for subbing this for mesmiley - ok

The title also fits with the way you've structured the article and the headers you've used. Hence I was a little hesitant to change it.

Yeah, I take the point about creationism, and that the church has often been loath to admit that Earth might not be the centre of the universe. But we don't have a handy article on that to link to. I wondered about adding notes or something, but couldn't think of a good way to do it.

I didn't realise that was a bug. I'll have to watch out for the Guide editors trying to sneak in to other entries I sub.

I can remove them retrospectively once they're edited, but the Solo page doesn't then show the tally correctlysmiley - ermwhich is why I'm trying to catch them before they hit the FP. They were on S Club 7 but we put an alert on Trello - anyway it doesn't matter if it's a multi-authored entry or a FM rescue as that was.

I'm not sure if I've figured Trello out. Is there a separate sub-editors' bit? I certainly can't see any alerts.

I look forward to the geocentrism entry then.

I've been invited onto the Scouts/Sub-Eds board. I must have missed the original invitation.
