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

I've been doing the final editing on Poohsticks Bridge. Hard work, even after you've been through it first!

I hope you don't mind if I remove the 'reference' links to Tower Bridge and the Isle of Wight floating bridge. Bluebottle has a habit of including loads of extra links, usually to his own entries, which are not really relevant.

Go ahead, they were a bit random I thought. Thanks for the polish. You tend to not see the errors after a while, it needs more than my pair of eyes.

I'm doing final polishing on the Vegetarian entry.

I want to change the headers around slightly, so that the first section is Options for Dealing with a Vegetarian, subdivided into Eat them and Feed Them, and the second section is Steps in Feeding Your Vegetarian. This is instead of having a huge Option 2 section with the rest as subdivisions of it.

Is that OK?

These are ready for the front page:

A87714651 Poohsticks Bridge, East Sussex, UK
A87725163 The Ancient Olympic Games

These are ready except for the lack of a picture:

A77562011 Disability
A87725154 An Adventure with Caddisfly Larvae in a Pyrenean Mountain Stream
A87709369 Three Most Dangerous BMX Tricks
A87719999 The Holy Grail
A87723219 The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (UK)
A87101327 'Unplugged (The Official Bootleg)' - The Paul McCartney Album
A87709396 How to Prevent a War Using Ordinary Household Objects - Jean Robert-Houdin and the Marabouts
A87727431 Pigs, Peas, Pone and Prosperity: A New Year's Meal in the Southern US
A87726469 Edible Nuts
A87727422 Quick Finger Food for Parties

yes that's fine with me to move the sections in Z's Entry,

I'd also mention

A87725433 Rubber bands

This has a photograph, made by Rosie last week. Just waiting for it to be uploaded so that we can use it.

I sent an email to the Eds group.

Also, just noticed your message re sub-editors allocations (in Noesis) I am not sure your allocations went through the system, as they are not showing in the 'Coming Up' page.

I have the Buy Nothing Day, so that's me sorted for the time being

I haven't done Rubber Bands yet, but I'll make it top priority.

I've now done the polishing on:

A87725433 Rubber Bands - Behold the Power
A87728700 A Cheater's Mince Pies
A87727413 What to do with a Vegetarian at Christmas
A87726450 Goose and Carp, Traditional Austrian Christmas Dishes

The first three need images added. The last one just needs the credit for the image. I don't know who did that photo.

The image for the Austrian Menu was by Tavaron herself. Thanks for doing the polishing, and really great that Icy subbed Vip's mince pie Entry so quickly! Excellent stuff!

OK, that one is ready to go. Actually, I remember now, I didn't do any polishing on the entry sub-edited by Icy, as his ones are always perfect.

Buy Nothing Day - A Holiday From Consumerism
- American or British spelling?

This is for you:

I was so amazed when I saw that! I could hardly believe my eyes - Tavaron is such a sweet girl.

I really don't deserve an island smiley, complete with palm tree, but honestly it's delightful.

I wasn't on the site at the time it was revealed, so I missed the unveiling, its a lovely Christmas present isn't it?

I've added the two pictures to the Staffordshire Oakcakes entry A426016. Feel free to move them around to more appropriate places, and to put better ALT text on them.

Lanza, I've done a standard sub-editing on Beatrice's Fish Spa entry, but I see you wanted to take it to address Mina's concerns. Will I pass it over to you?

Please continue with subbing it Gnomon, I've just re-read it and Bea does mention animal welfare concerns. I'd add a link to the better of the links that Mina suggested - the Guardian one

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/01/fish-pedicure-health-animal-welfare

I sort of gasped when Bea said she wanted to withdraw it. I think you know her personally? so perhaps she will be happy when she knows you want to sub it as well. I think that it is short, but very relevant and topical.

If you like, I can suggest a few other links and put them into the PR thread.

I've finished all the standard subbing, but I'll add a few extra links to address Mina's concerns. Yes, put anything you feel is needed into the Peer Review thread.

Hello.

I heard a rumour you weren't well. Are you OK now?

I am a lot better than I was yesterday, thanks . I am sure I will be back to 'normal' soon. Whatever that might mean where I am concerned - thanks!

That's a big jug of oil you have there, for pouring on troubled waters. Thank you.

Now, on a different topic, you may remember sub-editing A87730275 How to Make Blini (and Tvorog) Without Mucking About with Yeast or Whisking Egg Whites. I wasn't happy with it, as it was all over the place, and Icy agreed, so I asked Sol to look into rewriting it. She worked on a copy of the sub-edited version and came up with this:

A42198230

Are you happy that this is ready for publication?

Are you happy that your name should be on it as sub-editor, although Sol changed it after you'd finished with it?

I am happy that this is ready, I have no special reason to claim it as an Entry that I have subbed, so I leave the decision to you.

On another matter Elektra has asked me if her Entry has any possibility of being subbed in the near future, she realises it has been stuck in the queue for a long time.
