A657650-How to Eat a Burger.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/guide/A657650

I'd try reposting this in the standerd PR format.

The link above doesn't work. Try this one:

Hi KB!

I think there are two problems here.

1) The link does not work.

2) The entry is wrongly titled. It should be A657650 - How to eat a burger. I think you will have to do it again as this thread is likely tohave to go in the sin bin.

This is obviously your first attempt over here. Normally I don't do this but anyway...

1 - Wellcome to the joys of PR (Peer Review)

2 - Try reading the Writing Guidelines for edited entries. You'll see why...

I think the choice of this topic is excellent. Definetly guide stuff. But you will have to rewrite it completely. Again: Check out the writing guidelines - It'll take some minutes to read through it, but it'll help.

HELL

You're keen.

Only registered for 6 hours and posting to Peer Review already.

Firstly, welcome aboard, I read your article and had a good giggle at it.

A quick word of advice though, hang around here a little longer, get to know the site, chat with a few folks (some of the people in here are actually quite nice)


If you want to enter an article for Peer Review, have a read of:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Writing-Guidelines
which'll give you a few ideas of what normally gets recommended.

Apart from that, there's loads of places to go and visit, I notice an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) has already posted to your personal space, try following a few of the links they've put up for you.
Failing that, just browse, read, chat and generally hang out.
There's always plenty to do, and you've plenty of time to post entries here.
PS, your article is in the guide already, and can be read by all, even if it doesn't get edited.


Now the bad news I'm afraid, there's a strict format to adhere to for postings to this forum, have a read of
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview
(its the front page for Peer Review) and you'll see what I mean.
As you didn't get the format right, this conversation thread (notice I said conversation thread, not article) will end up in the "sinbin".
Don't worry though, that doesn't mean your article will be ditched, it'll still be there.

In the meantime, have fun. Oh and by the way, here, have a slice of


whisky

Multiple simposts

while I was writing my monster epic post, half a dozen other people posted and told you everything that I was trying to say, in half the number of words


whisky

half a half dozen to be precise. And even less than half the words. (If I counted correctly that would be a 1/6.564...) Hyulk...

People in the PR can be very nice as long as you don't attack their favourite philosophical/scientific convictions. Take a look at the 'Evolution - An antithesis' thread in the PR to see what I mean.

I'm looking forward to see that Burger entry in final shape. (I always lose the tomatoes and I constantly mess myself up with the mayonnaise - An entry on that would really help me a lot.)

Have fun.

HELL

Hell:

Here, let me help you with that burger

* I know, a < flan > is not a , but they don't have a smiley, so it's the best I could do.

Hey Whisky... Here's a gift for you:

BANG!

although the problem with that thread is not that it attacks evolution, but that it is wildly inaccurate in the facts it quotes, which the author can't seem to accept as being a problem.

Thanks everybody for your comments!I'll get to re-writing it immediatly(or,until I have to got to school!It's 6:42 here!)!

Remember,you can only get discounts and stuff for witing a place up for the Guide
a)If you've made a bona fide attempt to pay your bill,
b)You'd otherwise be in danger of your life,or
c)You really want to.
However,c) requires giving the editor a cut!

Does that work here?
