Bluebottle - you are The Man!

It's pretty great to have a University application where the project is already done. Like someone turning up to RL university and saying "I'm ready for my finals now"...

I'll add it to the relevant pages, and hunt down a Sub for you.

Nice one.

The only thing I can think of that needs changing is the links on the first page to Frogbit's articles:
The Ichthyosaurs of Street, Somerset and
Mary Anning and the Fossils of Lyme Regis, Dorset.
Both of these have been recommended, but are not Edited as such yet. I have linked to them as it would be a pity not to have them referenced to, as they are both great articles, and I feel they are in the spirit of what I have written about the Island's dinosaurs.

<BB<

...Hang on, Frogbit's a sub-editor, isn't he? I think he'd be a great choice to edit the articles if you haven't found someone else, as he definately is interested in Dinosaurs etc.

<BB<

Good idea - go and pester him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/175610

The copy of Frogbit's 'Ichthyosaurus' entry is A659414, and the copy of his 'Mary Anning' entry is A665264, so you can change your links.

Have you pestered him, as it appears he's now the editor
Now I can start work on researching my next project - either the Isle of Wight during World War II, or Victorian Fortifications Around The Isle of Wight.... Not sure which yet.

<BB<

No - he came and asked for the entries himself. Good man.

Oo - go for the War one: the IoW was very much in the line of fire, wasn't it... Can I get a signed copy of your book on the Isle of Wight when you write it? I'll send around a lorry to pick it up!

If I write an article on the Isle of Wight during the Second World War, I'd want to include an article on the radar of the Isle of Wight, which I have written:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A600869
but I promised that to the Radar project, which sadly seems to have stalled...

I wouldn't mind writing a book about the Isle of Wight - I'd have to do a lot of research though.
One question which I keep meaning to ask but forget so I will while I remember; do you know why only 29 of my approved articles about the Isle of Wight are listed here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/C546
doesn't my article on Isle of Wight delicacies deserve to be listed?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A378010

<BB<

The omission has been rectified.

Thanks.
Now I'm only 13 behind Pennsylvania
