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

I am about to submit a project to the University.
I aim to complete a history of the Football World Cup, and as you are a footy fan, albeit Swindon Town , I was wondering if you would like to be my sub-editor?

Cheers

Sure thing!

Just let me know as and when you need me to cast my eye over anything...

Great
1930 is up and ready ...

let me know what you think

PS - The reference in the footnote as well as the formation of FIFA will be covered in the 'history of the world cup' entry.

1934 is also ready!

Great stuff! Very nicely done... I guess that there'll be more actual copy in the later world cups, once you begin to approach the present day. You might have to explain a couple of little things, like what 'aet' means, for those who are not particularly au fait with the terminology of the Beautiful Game.

One slight style point - don't use the tag, as it will be taken out. If you feel you need to create a new paragraph, use the ... tags.

And the fewer footnotes, the better. Not that you've used too many at all - far from it; however, I think the common Guide policy is to try to put sub-clauses in parenthetical commas, like this, rather than use footnotes or brackets (like this) because it reads a little better.

Keep up the good work - it looks fantastic so far - pithy and to the point; I can't wait til we get to Fontaine et al.

Hi!
If you want to check out the 1930, 1934 and 1938 entries they have been updated (using wherever possible!)
