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

The stuff of science before it had honestly got a grip of itself. The non-starter of 17th century science finds reference today but little more considering people believed in it for more than 100 years!

Revised to include information on the use of Phlogiston in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 'Spelljammer' game setting.

Well structured, informative, interesting. It has my reccomendation.

A good description of one of sciences many wrong turns. I like it and recommed it to the house.

An excellent article, and definitely Guide worthy. I do have one thing to offer... there's an edited guide entry on Dungeons and Dragons you might link, since you already linked the one on role-playing: http://www.h2g2.com/A209062

Thanks for the feedback. I've tagged the entry mentioned. Guess I missed that one when I went searching for official references.

Well, I only knew about it because I wrote it.

Anyway, I've recently volunteered for the role of a Scout, and this will be one of the first articles I recommend to the Towers, once they manage to finish off the old queue and get everything organized for the new system. Good job once again.

Hi there.

A very good entry, I certainly recommend it.

One suggestion: I always find it useful if the first sentence is a short summary of the subject (especially if it is such an unusual & new one).

For my own interest: were there any other prominent scientists supporting the theory?

thanks

And now it is official. The editorial staff are alerted to this entry, and they will begin processing it and displaying it as an Edited Guide Entry. Congratulations on being my first Scout discovery.
