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

Well, I want to suggest this artice to be reviews by the Editors. Why? Because: h2g2 doesn't have any entry on Ljubljana (or Slovenia). This is the reason why I wrote it

You have some basic info about Ljubljana, further more some history info, tips where to eat and drink, and ... that's about it.

Overall, a decent entry in my opinion. But since you asked for peer review...

1. There are quite a few spelling mistakes, including "thirsty".

2. Of interest to tourists: What languages do they speak there? I presume you didn't have to learn more Slovenian than it takes to order a beer; is English or German good enough?

(Come to think of it, I should answer that last question for my entry on Labrador. I guess peer review really *does* work.)

O.K.

I will try to find seppling mistakes, but my grammar is not very good

We speak Slovene language, I posted an URL in my journal entries, yes, I can fill this in...

But what then, must I post another peer review.

I can't speak for the originators of the Peer Review plan here, but I suspect the response you made is OK. You shouldn't need to make another entry for your page.

I made the suggested changes. Hope the editors will notice my article.

Thanks for all the

Certainly some very interesting information in the article, but the syntax and spelling errors are distracting.

Do you have any specific bars or restaurants to recommend?

- Lentilla

I found this article to be interesting and informative. I do feel it could benefit from a little padding:
1) Maybe some information about museums and galleries.
2) You could give some more detail on the Summer Festival.
3) As a practising alcoholic, I'd love to see some names of bars and clubs.

Hope this is useful! As I say, I like the article alot.
Regarding spelling and grammar, it can do with a bit of tidying, but as English is not your first language, I think you have done fine, and the Sub-Editors can help with the English.

What do the rest of the scouts think?

Hello!

Thanks for the tips, I will try to gather some info on that subject. We have quite some museiums and galleries, Summer festival is long and holds various acts from pop, etno, classical and opera. Trnfest, however is held 1 km from the centre in Trnovo and lasts all august. If you want to party in august in Ljubljana - you gotta be at Trnfest...

As I said: Orto klub for rockers, in the summertime bars near the river are very popular (Macek, La Boheme, Carli, ...) and in the winter time... well that's another story. Every season a new bar is open, but Orto still remains the best rock club.

Syntax and spelling errors - I excluded them as possible with Word 2000, but it doesn't seem to work ... therefore: Sub-Editors, help, please!

It is the sub-editor's job to help solve spelling problems, so that shouldn't detract from the article and isn't a serious criticism in itself. I think you've done a wonderful job in writing this in the first place - I couldn't write an article at all well in a foreign language, so the fact that you have should be commended.
Spelling mistakes are inevitable. I've made them in English, and I'm English myself! - but I feel the fact you've tried and done a good job is good enough.

The sub-eds can sort out the small insignifocant things like correcting the one or two spelling mistakes and grammer - it'll give them something to do - while you can be pleased that you've actually written this.

Bluebottle, thanks!

I guess now it's time for Sub editors to do their work... and hope to see my article in edited guide soon

Well, first a scout has to pick up the entry...

I feel you should write a bit more about the tourist sights - you skim over them, but I'd like to know more. I guess that could be a seperate entry, though.

nitpicking:
"capitol" - is this meant to be "capital", as in Llubjana is the capital of Slovenia? Or is it "capitol" as in large town (slightly obsolete word, mark you).
