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

Okay, thanks for all those. You make a fantastic proof reader!

Let me know if you spot anything else.

Frankie

The only error I can see is that the word Claire is still their at the end of the section about Claire, as if you were going to write something else, but didn't. Apart from that, you seem to have acted on most of my comments.

Also, in the second paragraph, first sentence about Nick, perhaps you should adjust the bit where you say 'for plotting to all nominate' as this is a split infinitive (the all between to and nominate). Perhaps you could change this around a bit. Something like 'for plotting together to nominate' instead. Perhaps you might be able to think of something better. Also, I still think that Welsh should be capitalised, when talking about Helen.

Apart from that I can't think of anything to add. I'll have another look at some point though. It is looking a lot better, especially with the paragraphing, and the new stuff about Nick, and Craig.

Thanks for the complements, I try my best. I wouldn't try, though, if I didn't find the entry interesting to start with.

Congratulations!

Thanks again for all your help, and the compliment about the entry.

I didn't change the 'welsh' and the Claire bit because I erm... forgot. Off to do it now!

And hey, the article's been reccommended now! Thanks to all who helped.

Well done in getting recommended, I think the entry is ready now.

I've had a more thorough look this time, and I can only find a couple of minor mistakes.

You say that Helen was 'widly' tipped, rather than 'widely' tipped.
Also, in the bit about the Media Phenomenon, in the second paragraph, in the last sentence you talk about conestants, rather than contestants.

Apart from that, I see no problems with the entry. This definitely wants to go to the editors. Well done again.

Damn those typos! The sub-ed will get a version of the entry with the typos now, but I'm sure they will spot them. I fixed them in the original copy anyway.

Thanks for your help. Look out for it on the Front Page sometime!

Let's hope Sri does a nice graphic for it. The 'big brother eyes' would be very appropiate methinks.

Congrats Frankie

Hello Frankie, GTBacchus here. I'll be subbing this entry over the next few days, and I don't expect I'll have to tell you how the subbing process works

Let's see... here's the new URL:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A623620

Feel free to drop by and see how things are coming along. It doesn't look like I'll have much editing to do. I'll get those typos that you and Silverfish caught (probably tomorrow - I don't really have time to edit just now), and I'll go over the whole thing with the ol' fine-tooth.

Anyway, the entry looks great! I should be done subbing it pretty soon, and then on to the Towers, into the queue, onto the Front Page , and into history!

Let me know here if you have any last minute changes or anything, ok?

Hi GTBacchus,

nice to see that the guidelines are being put to good use!

I've spent so long on the damn entry I don't even want to look at it again for the moment...

If you have any questions or anything feel free to ask though.

How are you anyway? Did you go to the Summer Meet? I don't recognise your name...

If I have any questions, I'll ask, but I think it's pretty well under control.

I'm over here in the states, so I never actually saw the show, and sadly, I missed the summer meet up. I would like to get to one of those some day... You know me from the Subs list as Tony.

Oh, and I'm doing well, thanks for asking. How are you? I'm getting ready to travel to Africa soon, so I'm pretty excited about that. I suppose there's even less chance of a meet up happening near me in Kenya than there is in the southern US, huh? C'est la vie.

Have a good time in Kenya then! You'll have to write a load of entries about it when you get back!

Frankie

Indeed, I shall!

Say, I have a couple of questions.

1) What is 'Eastenders'? I'd like to add a footnote for non-Brits (including myself!).

2) Is Big Brother 2 over now? (can I change present tense into past?)

Thanks!

GTB

1. Eastenders is a popular soap opera set in the East End of London

2. Yes, Big Brother 2 is now over...
