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

I like Arizona a lot and there are some pretty interesting places there to visit. I've highlighted a few things to do and see in Sedona Arizona and would love to see the entry being moved to the Arizona browse page (http://www.h2g2.com/C181).

If you read this I hope you will co-reccommend the entry for the index.

This site is an awesome idea!

I presume that you're recommending your forum entry on Sedona for approval. I like the article and find it very informative. However, if you're looking for approval, you should copy and paste your forum entry into a Guide Entry (you can open a new Guide Entry by clicking on the "Add Guide Entry" button on your H2G2 home page). Forum entries themselves don't get to be approved parts of the Guide.

As for the article, I found it very informative, and very close to what the powers-that-be generally look for in Approved Guide Entries. There are only a couple of things I would change:

-I would remove the references to "Planet Earth" and teleporting to other planets. This particular guide, despite the name, is for earth-based life forms, and we stive to make the entries as factual as possible.

-I would also try to remove the "you" pronoun and try to make the article read more like an encyclopedia entry, as the entries written in HHGTTG seem to be. For more information on the writer's style guidelines, I'd go to http://www.h2g2.com/Writing-Guidelines

But aside from those, I would recommend this article to the editors because it is just what should be in the Guide.

Good luck.
