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

I am afraid we're dissing one of our Indian reseachers. Bengal tiger got this accepted as a Guide Entry a year ago and he is wondering when it will appear on the FP:

Hi Elektra, the accepted version is A87822165 and you can see how much work has already been done by the sub-editor. I can assure you it hasn't been lost or forgotten. It still isn't finished, I'm afraid, and I can't give any idea on when it will appear on the Front Page as there's still another process (proof read and polish) by a Guide Editor to be performed after it has been returned by the sub-editor.

Sorry I can't be more helpful,

Cool, I was just wondering that it took so long. I know we aren't supposed to be too bugged by idioms of researchers and insist they all express themselves like 19th century English dons. Also we aren't supposed to be privileging Uk reseachers. I wonder if we can't get a good illustration from FWR for it as well. Everyone did a good job of helping him at first, is it just that we don't have enough subs now?

We don't have any regular subs, Sasha and I have done most of the subbings recently. I don't deal with the Artist side of things, as it's a separate Trello board which I can't even see, so you'd need to speak to Bluebottle or Tavaron about illustration.

Hi Elektra, just a quick update:

The article will be featured on the h2g2 Front Page this week (hopefully today but I am not the Ed who changes the FP so I can't be sure). As you can see, the Entry has been illustrated with fabulous artwork and I hope the author will be pleased with the final result. Everyone is so sorry for the delay on this
