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

This thread has also spurred me on to work on an entry I've had brewing at the back of my mind for some time.
I'm still wary though, of entries for entries' sake. I think it's getting increasingly harder to find topics not already covered in the guide (though some could well be updated/improved)/ not well covered elsewhere on the internet (without potential for a different approach).

Nobody wants that we write entries for entries' sake.
I'm constantly amazed to find find huge gaps in the guide. I don't mind if somebody else has written about some topic somewhere else on the internet, we are in the position to write things better - because we have Peer Review.

Entries that I'm thinking of:

Simon de Montfort, Leader of the Barons Revolt
John Batchelor, The Friend of Freedom
Something on the Mexican Revolution - possibly enough there for a University project
Emily Hobhouse, Welfare Campaigner & Suffragette
Rewrite of the existing entry on Owain Glendwr

Well those are the ones I've been researching. All probably very dry and factual

No, they sounds great, BC!

Darn, well having committed myself, I'll have to start producing something won't I?

*rubs hands*

*cackles*

Might be time to update the webcomics one, too - the author seems to have gone missing, and a lot has happened between 2004 and now Some of the strips are no longer running, and there are some wonderful newcomers...

Plus maybe add a section on how to start your own, I'm in the process of that so maybe I'll amend it

"why aren't they moved out of the FM when this happens - just to save time."

Because sometimes they don't get as far as the Front Page. When I rescued 'Tampons' it had already been rescued by another Researcher and sort of semi abandoned. If it hadn't been left in FM I never would have seen it.

People should post on the thread (although I think I forgot to do that with some of my recent rescues), so if something's been posted to recently it's likely to have been picked up by someone.
