Entry: Walls - A15718133
Author: Vip - U188069

I've sort of run out of steam on this one. Anything is up for review, and especially those things marked in bold.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Are you sure there isn't an edited version of this ? I seem to recall haveing linked to an entry about walls somewhere, but the search doesn't work, so I can't check.

I picked it from Flea Market, so I wouldn't have thought so.

A google search on 'walls h2g2' doesn't come up with anything (that's what I've been using instead of the h2g2 search facility today).

As I said, I'm not sure. And I have no idea how the flea market thingy works.

The Flea Market is just a big bin that we throw promising entries into once they've been abandoned by the authors. Anybody can stake their claim to them, make a copy, put the copy through Peer Review and get it to the Front Page.

Hey ho, I guess we just wait to see when the Search facility comes back off.

It must have been a fairly major break to have broken so much for so long.

...comes back *up*, rather.

Gnomon, what happens to the original entries, where do they stay ? I know I've read this entry, I guess I'd better go and check my entries for a link to it.

What happens to the original entries? They sit in the Flea Market until someone (usually me or TiT) tells the Eds, at which point, they move them out of the Flea Market. Conversations attached to the Flea Market forum are moved to being attached to the Entry itself.

In other words there could well be an edited entry about walls and the abandoned original still in flea market. But then maybe I linked to an unedited entry and the eds removed the link, because so far, I haven't found it.

The original is here: A10150480

Don't know if that helps.

>>In other words there could well be an edited entry about walls and the abandoned original still in flea market

Yes, that's certainly possible.

We'll know once the search is working again.

Ok, I've eventually found the entry the entry about walls I linked to:
A4044755

It must have been while searching for an entry about walls that I came across the flea market entry. I'm really just glad that I didn't link to an unedited entry after all.

Now in the Edited Guide as: A87785022
Well done Vip, your contribution was invaluable!
