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

Got it sorted.

Right then, anything else need doing here, or can I start pestering the Scouts now?

You mean we're allowed to pester them?

Any tips?

I find that constant prodding and whining helps.

*Manufactures prod*

=============>

*wields spork in other hand*



*Recruits prodding assistant*



*Goes forth and prods*

Good hunting.

A latecomer with a few nits to pick - nothing that should keep it from being recommended though! Fine work

In the section for Hess you mention Bormann, but Bormann's section isn't until two later so essentially we don't know who Bormann is yet. Would it be better to include his first name as well in this first mention? It just seems awkward the way it is, or maybe that's just me.

And in the section for Goebbels when telling about the Kristallnacht you mention the date it took place twice, in the same sentence: At the very beginning and at the very end - it's a long sentence (long sentence ok though!).

I'm sure you won't have long to wait before a Scout snatches this up - if they haven't already

Thanks for the input, it's been sorted!

Anyone prods me, they'll get a punch up the frote

Off to have a look at the entry

*psst* I think it was dialectal pronunciation of throat...

Quite correct

The entry looks a whole lot better than last time I saw it

Thanks Gosho!

All I have to say is that there's a couple of typos left:

anti-semetic -> anti-semitic
who reffered to him -> referred
Hess's ill advised -> Hess' ...
heirarchy -> hierarchy
Nuremburg -> Nuremberg

"... than Germany's navy both on the surface..." - unclear. Perhaps 'that is, Germany's navy both on the surface...' ?

where the parties massive -> the party's

Footnote 10: make that 'Schutz-Staffel' (see also posting 61)


Great entry

Trailing in late again ... good entry. Only query would be in the section on Hess - I know I ought to know when he flew over to Scotland, but I don't, and because of how you've split the paragraphs, it's not clear (to me) whether this was in 1939 when he was eclipsed by Bormann, or later. If you have an exact date, maybe that could go in here for the benefit of those of us with addled brains.

spook - good luck with the exam. And to you too, of course, Psycorp, but your revision timetable probably has a bit longer to run.

Slight problem with the Speer section.

He didn't relocate to London ro live after release from Spandau. He went to the Allgäu region of Western Bavaria to retire.

Speer was an occasional visitor to England as he was a bit of an anglophile; and he did indeed die in London whilst on a short visit to do an interview for the BBC.

Ok, I'll get these corrections/clarifications sorted when I get back from college tonight.

Et Voila!!

Hi,

Very good article - well written and concise. Just one or two typos found:-

fledgeling -> fledgling
Pienipotentiary -> plenipotentiary
(Goebbels was a rabid) anti-semetic -> anti-Semite
reffered - referred
inerexable - inexorable
Chancellry - Chancellery
heirarchy - hierarchy
dissappeared - disappeared
beaurocracy - bureaucracy
Wansee - Wannsee
hemorrhage - haemorrhage

You might also check the spelling of Schutzstaffel - I'm don't think its correct.

Great article again!
