"Reports were ... fed straight up into the network of sub-editors' offices where they had all the good bits cut out by secretaries because the sub-editors were out having lunch." - Douglas Adams

Hi Demon Drawer!

I've subedited your entry on Film references in the song 'Science Fiction Double Feature'!

I'm going to return it to the editors in the next few days. If you'd like to check it for any mistakes before I send it, my version of the entry's at A944255.

My main changes were:
- Breaking down long sentences
- Adding "making her first appearance aged sixteen in Gasoline Love" to the section on Fay Wray

If you find have any comments, find any mistakes or have anything that you'd like me to change, please post them here!

I hope you like my changes

Hi!

I've just been looking through this article as I hadnt seen the original one DD wrote, but I think there's a mistook... In the Doctor X bit, the line Science fiction double feature is repeated (its been discussed in the bit before). Should it be deleted? What do you guys think?

one day I will look at an article and take my subbing hat off before I do so...

I know what you mean hon but the rhyme is feature with creatue. I take you were referring to the quote.

As for the subbing like it and the addition is good to.

Brilliant!

I'll return it very soon...

The reason for the addition was, in the original, there was the incomplete phrase "...making her first appearance aged twelve in."

Whoops how did I leave that out.

That's what subeds are for

Is that why I'm marrying one then. TO complete my sentances for me.

RhoMuNuQ

*wonders why there still isnt a slap in the face smiley...*

oooh. and I did get him to agree last night that it should only be the second line in that thing I pointed out!

Time to make a quiet exit...

RhoMuNuQ

I've returned the entry.

RhoMuNuQ

I'm going to hijack my own thread...

I've now subbed your entry on The Political Parties Of Northern Ireland - A1000710. Are there any changes you'd like me to make before I return it?


RhoMuNuQ

Giving me a heart attack in the process. No this looks fine to me.

Great - I'll return it soon
