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

So how do you update an entry then?

Hi Giford

If it's a little one, you can do it in <./>Feedback-Editorial</.> - if it is a big update, it goes into the Update forum <./>RF21</.>

OK, it'll be about 3 or 4 short paragraphs at the end.

Do I resubmit the whole article, and if so do I cut 'n' paste the old article into a new article, or do I modify the version I put into PR?

I'm not sure, Giford. Let me get some advice. Back in a jiffy with an expert in tow

If it is just three or four short paragraphs, then you should submit them at Feedback / Editorial. Be sure to say which entry you want updated, and whether these are additional paragraphs or intended to replace existing ones.

If it were many changes throughout the entry, the normal procedure would be:

- Create a new Entry
- Open the Edited Entry using the test feature (put TEST in the URL instead of U just before the entry number)
- Copy the full text from the Edited Entry and Paste it into your new entry.
- Submit the new entry to the Update Forum.

But for a few paragraphs, you don't need to do that.

*lets go of Gnomon*

See? Didn't I tell you I'd bring an expert?

There you go then, Gif.

I'm a great believer in "it's not *what* you know but *who* you know"

I've got the power

I just love the way hootoo works like a RL community

Well done, Giford

Giford appears to have ed and, after the new series, an update to some of h2g2's Doctor Who articles is needed...

I have indeed ... just dropped by slightly at random and saw this update in the PR section of the Front Page.

Waves to all, and...
