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

Hey, Tavaron. I have sub edited your Vienna entry. Could you read through it and make sure that everything is alright with you? A13911725

hi

I'll go and read it

ok, let's see...

1)
<>

You also wouldn't say 'the babenbergs founded the kingdom', it is 'the kingdom of yadayada', at least in my opinion, like in this case it is 'the margraviate Austria'. In my opinion it was right as I wrote it.

2)
I just found out that the link to the map of the Austrian empire doesn't work. I'll try to find another one.

3) oi, just found a mistake I made myself
<> should probably mean Babenbergers, like later in the stuff about the Hofburg, but I'm always rather unsure when it comes to these things in English...

4) you removed the 'famous' which I added to Adolf Loos, as far as I remember people in PR asked for it, but I don't really mind

5) I really wouldn't write 'the Schönbrunn', for me that sounds absolutely strange. The 'the' in front of the museums are ok, but there... is it neccessary to put a 'the' everywhere? You also wouldn't write 'the Windsor'.



In the whole I like it. Thanks

Ok, I found 3 maps, no idea which one would be best.

Yes, I wondered about the thes. I wasn't sure they were appropiate in some of the places....

I'd leave them away, but if it's house style or something... only before Schönbrunn it *has* to be removed. And you didn't put a 'the' to Museumsquartier. For me as a German speaking it also sounds awkward in front of 'Kunsthistorisches'/'Naturhistorisches Museum' because in German if you put 'das' in front of them the words aren't right anymore.

The maps seem to work fine for me. Do you mean one of the first two links in the list on the side?

very strange. You're right, now they work, but when I posted this I got an error message. *shrug* sorry

Okay, I'll leave them then. Shall I return it? Last chance!

you removed only the 'the' of naturhistorisches and not the one of kunsthistorisches, both or none

else it's good now

thanks

I took the thes from all the German words. Sorry, since I don't know German, I don't know what sounds right.

that's ok

... you missed the 'the' in front of Technisches Museum

(sorry, had to go to sleep yesterday)
