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

jonnyara,

I am the Sub-editor for your Guide Entry. You've got something very good here, but there is some work that needs to be, as has already been suggested on the Conversation about the entry. I am willing to do a lot of the work (I noticed your comments about getting busy... it happens!) that needs to be done, but because of the nature and depth of the article, I want to talk to you about it. There are horror stories about butchered articles.. that's not going to happen with me.

I have not gone into a deep evaluation of the article yet, but most of the comments in the Conversation looked on target to me. The first thing I want to tackle (and, perhaps, the majority of the work) is breaking the Guide Entry into different Headinds and Sub-headings. The second is to do, as was suggested, the footnotes for some of the more technical terms and such.

Let me know your thoughts,
Isaac S.

Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you.

Please feel free to do what you like to the article, I really don't have the time to go through it at the moment, and I probably won't for a while.

I can do footnotes for the jargon if that would help, or anything small that's required.

Thanks for the help!
