Ben, write a note and I'll post it on Shazz's Facebook Wall.

It's not too late to nominate entries - if I can't get the ok from the folks mentioned earlier, then I'll have to select three to replace them.

anhaga - If you do an update in the next few days we can publish that one instead of the Edited Guide one.

Thanks Mina - Pastey's already done that.

I might see what I can do about at least getting the Olympic bit in.

Hm, I thought... *rummages* Ooh, yeah, shazz's email is one of the ones that bounced.

As far as older entries, someone with a good eye (pin?) could look through http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A570296--we've got permission from mikey to use whatever we want, and she's old enough in h2g2 terms for there to be stuff from 2001, easily.

Argh! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A570296

I thought I'd mention that this A82116227 , although incomplete, is perhaps the most physically challenging piece of writing I've been involved with on h2g2.

Inukshuk has been updated.

>>My favourite guide entry is:A513604 - "Being Pretentious"

Strange that the author considered vegetarianism to be pretentious.

Oooh, another one I just remembered, always loved this: A27636528

Oh yes, yes! And Leo popped up again the other day, he's definitely here.

He is indeed. I'll drop by his space.

I'm having problems where I can't track down the sub and the author's removed or hidden their original entry.

B

I've just been - check the 'Just a Thought convo on his Space.

Leo is a she.

Is it important to track down the sub-eds? Do they have any rights on the entries they subbed?

I don't think so.

A she? Oops. Mind you, I thought Tav was a boy for a while.

I keep getting mistaken for a man, too.

It's funny, but I have never been mistaken for a woman...

B

And I have a feeling nobody took me for a man.

And I had to be very gender-specific.

In practical terms, no, I agree the subs don't have copy-right rights. But when I realised I was uncomfortable using entries subbed by the h2g2 editors, I realised that I was going to have to contact the sub-editors or use the original entries.
