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

Welcome! Welcome! I am Abi and I am the Deputy Community Editor. This is the thread for Newbies to come and meet existing researchers and have a nice hot cup of tea!

How's that for a symlpost - in two different fora!

I'd love a cup of tea!
Anyone else around right now?

It would appear not...

Actually, there is someone here, and I want to know if I am in the right place to ask some questions? I just found the Guide today, and I joined instantly, but I have gotton a bit lost since then. I don't quite understand about what I should do if I want to write an entry and have it posted. Also, I keep seeing "Approved entries" vs. "unapproved entries" - what is the difference? I hope you can help.

Greetings Zarniwoop,

Morning Justin, I hope you have been keeping an eye on 'Her Highness'...

I see we have another of the royal breed in this week, thank myself you’re not off with the pixies like the previous Queen I met, Elves are far better company.

Excuse me your Divine Magnificence, but what was that knowing look for?

What other kind of look would you expect from God?

Fair point EV! Fair point! Tea?

Yes please... gypsy cream?

Don't mind if I do - where has GOD gone. I thought he was meant to be omnipresent.

Maybe He is here but in a non-interventionalist capacity.
Blimey, that's a big word.

hey that is what working with the editorial team do for you!

Do you have to learn a specified number of words before they give you the italics?

no just really really really long ones like Antidistinctlymintymonetarism

Do you get special privileges if you know what they mean as well?

you get to go to the Sandwich shop with Sam.


Any way where are all the newbies?

Hiding, I think.

Very wise
