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

Well, then ... Cheers!

Welcome to h2g2, Strewth! My name is Shea, and I am an Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and a Guardian Angel (GA). We're a group of volunteers that flit about welcoming and helping new Researchers. If you want to ask me a question, or need help with anything, just hit the "Reply" button and leave a message, I'll fly back in and help you in any way I can!

Have you checked out the Welcome pages yet? They're a good place to start:

If you're interested Strewth, I made a page with a list of links that you might like to check out. It's at

There's lots to do around h2g2, Strewth! You can read or write Guide Entries, post in your Journal, join clubs and communities, have a few drinks in a pub, join spirited debate, or just make some new friends!

If you ever want to talk to a Researcher, just click on their name. That will take you to their Personal Space, and you can leave them a message there (like I'm doing now!) by clicking on the 'Discuss this Entry' button.

Most importantly, have fun! You might find yourself meeting some great new friends! I know I have!

I was just wondering weather what I write into the guide will be found by other people who come and search. Also what do I have to do to set where in the universe search bit the entry should go?

Hi Strewth!

If you click on Advanced Search, you can see that it gives you the options: Edited Guide Entries, Recommended Guide Entries, Guide Entries or all of these.
Anything that is writen as a Guide Entry would be found if someone has "Guide Entries" clicked as a choice in their search.

A Guide Entry has to be edited and approved before it's put into a category.

If you'd like some information on the Peer Review scheme, where you put your Guide Entries up to be ... well, reviewed by your peers ... you can look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview

Let me know if I explained this properly for you!

It seems to make sence. But then we'll how much sence when I try to put some of this info into action.

Thanks

Strewth

My pleasure, Strewth!

Cheers!
