I think that was okay, but I think you used 'I' a couple times.

Also, do you think I should break it into headers? I'm leaning that way myself, actually.

That's one of them. There is another 'I' earlier on, I think.

Yes, I think it would look better with Headers.

They're kind of h2g2 style, I think. So I'd recommend it.

Another thing you could do to tidy it a little is to get rid of the curly quotes. It took me a while to figure this out, but in your word processer program, go to the preferences and turn off the 'smart quotes' or whatever they are called. I imagine you could paste the contents of your Entry back into the word program, fix the quotes, then paste back into the Entry box and update. smiley - smiley

OK, I took out that 'I', I don't know where the other one is, but I guess I can keep looking. If you see it, let me know. I'm slowly adding more info about the people. This will take time. Curly quotes... They're already there, so will the program change them back?
Anything else?

OK, I think I've done the rogue's gallery, I removed another 'I', and began removing the quotes. Anything else?

Did you verify it?

Aren't there multiple rogues? So shouldn't it be the Rogues' Gallery, or maybe even the Rogues Gallery since it doesn't necessarily belong to them?

The gallery looks great, though.smiley - ok

Eep! Yes. Rogues Gallery. I haven't confirmed it yet, along with a few other things in there i'm not 100% sure about. This will require some newstand snooping, some reading, and some microfilm twirling. Meaning, it'll have to wait until I next pass a newstand, can get back issues from my grandmother, and visit the central library.

But otherwise...

Oh yeah, the point you raised about the ending. I'd like to run that by the subbie list, since the entry is, technically, an overview linked to the rest of the project.

smiley - ok It's still good, though you're probably getting a bruising. Maybe try some cushions on the floor. Zen surfing. smiley - biggrin
