Entry: Lorem Ipsum: Latin for Typographers - A4204135
Author: Edward the Bonobo - Anarchy! Chaos! Stanley Ogden! - U803114

a website named lorem-ipsum.info is mentioned, but it's linked erroneously to lipsum.com

Hiya,

I have a feeling that this Researcher is still on site, but no longer has access to his account so won't be able to make any changes.

It was meant to be an update to A1023166 but it looked like it was never completed.

Yeah - still here but cant be ersed sorting out my old account.

Is "layed out" the technical form of "Laid out"? It looks wrong, somehow, but I have a suspicion it's a permissible alternative.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dream of questioning Ed's English.

Don't ask me! Obviously.

bnmm, please don't submit other people's work into Peer Review. I know you can do it, but you shouldn't. The Entry you have put into Peer Review is not ready yet. So can you please remove it from Peer Review?

I think you should be able to. Go to Peer Review by following the links, find the entry on the list and click on the little x beside the name.

Try this link:

Should I ask the Eds to send this back to Entry? Or we could ask not the monkey nicely to take it over? I think it's an interesting subject.

Problem is there was already a Lorem Ipsum entry.

(Coincididdly I used Lipsum to make up a new Word template only this week. The one I was meant to use was graphically unfit for purpose and totally buggy)

Ah - I didn't realise that. After a quick perusal, I'm thinking that some of your text is additional to that of the other Entry. When I get my brain into gear I'll see if we could update the Edited one somehow by using some of yours.

How would you feel about that?

Ed, you could combine the existing entry with your own, add the author of the existing one as an author of yours, then bung it into Peer Review as an Update.

When all the bugs have been ironed out, the existing entry will then be replaced by your one.

That would work for me, Lanza. To be frank - whatever requires least effort from me (busy, busy, busy!). Happy to share joint authorship with whoever does the legwork.

Hi there..

Any news on this?

I think we're all still busy, I am happy to see this rest a while longer here until we have time to get this ironed out.

..

I'd better go and be helpful somewhere else.

it's a case of intergrating two Entries together, with oversight from Ed - but I'd like to see the end result.

No worries Dr Z

I too, am interested to see if this could be put together

When eds say they have time, I'd be willing to work to put them together

I know Edward the Bonobo is still around, but if he isn't working on this any more, can I propose Flea Market for this update?
If you are still working on it - let us know!
