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

How nice it is to see another civilised person in here . Warhammer 40k, I haven't played that in years. This brings back memories....

Only one fing I really need (sorry, would like) to know: how do i get my page (which has this minute been improved) into the edited guide? I know it deserves it.

If you're talking about your homepage (personal space), you don't .
The edited guide is a repository of entries people have written. You write something on a particular subject, and if you think it's good enough, you leave a message at the Peer Review Pages (accessable from h2g2's front page). The user pages are used for the researchers, so that they can get easy access to their latest postings, see what entries they have written, keep a diary and as a kind of answering machine. If you want something to be in the edited guide, like that bit on Warhammer you wrote, you create a new entry by going to the h2g2 front page. Once you're there, look on the right side of the screen and you'll see a link that says "Tell h2g2". Click on that link and write your entry, and give it a suitable title. You can choose to write it in GuideML (which I think is necessary). If you don't know how to write GuideML, let me know, and I will help you where I can. I hope I have given you enough information, cause it would be a good thing if you wrote an actual entry on that. Like you said, it deserves to be included in the edited guide.

Oh, before I forget. Before you start writing, you should see if there is an existing entry on Warhammer. Use the search box at the top of your screen, and search for Warhammer. If there is an existing one, people won't be inclined to accept a second one, but you can add stuff to the first one. If that is the case, get back to me and I will tell you what the procedure on that is

Good luck, and keep me posted, OK?

Just a small note. I looked at the coding of your page, and it might be a good idea to take another look at it. There are a couple of errors in your coding, especially with the tags and the way you use them. I think (which does not necessarily mean that it's true )that you tried to mix HTML-coding with GuideML-coding. The online error-handler said there were 6 errors, so maybe you should check it again .

Right, well. there ain't no edited guide bit on WH40k (warhammer 40,000), so i might just do that. i can do html writing but i've never even heard of GuideML (except on the entry edit page), so i would like to know how to do it.

Hi Callidus!

Saw your invitation here in my Gorkamorka page. Thought I'd follow it up even though you trashed my WH40K entry

I'll passing judgement on your own WH40K entry right now at the peer review page so don't mess!

Callidus, if you like I can lift the article of your page, and write you the GuideML coding. I'll then send it back to you, so that you can put it in an entry. It's easier for me to explain it to you that way. Is that an idea?

Yep, thats a damn fine idea. but, will my nice line across the page still be there? im particularly attached to it (so to speak).

I will do the best I can. I think that won't be a problem. Do you have an email adress where I can send it to?
