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

Hi there! I'm androyd one of the Assistant Community Editors who have volunteered to help new members. Welcome to the largest collaborative writing project er...anywhere. Take a look at some guide entries and see if you can add to the collection. If you feel there is a subject you can write about try doing a search first to see what already exists. I recommend you visit here before you get going:

Also I don't know if you've realised it yet, but the guide is about more than guide entries. Try these links to make new friends or even get a virtual job. I did.

Hail, Mr. Androyd! It is I, Lurvum Finwip, also known as Researcher #156934. I am replying to thank you for you kind extension of welcome to the organization, which does me and my furry homeworld service, and to put forth an inquiry that I do in fact have.

Firstly, I have finished my introductory message and feel that it represents me and my gastronomic intentions quite accurately. Thank you for your encouragement in this area.

Nextly, before I signed up to be a researcher for your planet's version of the Guide, I was looking through the existing entries contained therein and ran across an edited entry on Prayer in Schools which I felt was at many times inaccurate, specific to the wrong types of information, and incomplete, not to insult the existing editorial staff or roving researchers. However, it is a subject which I have an active and continuing interest in, partially due to my status as an American high school student. We are experiencing problems here with the blurry application on the phenomenon in question.

I have researched specifics of the subject and decisions of this country's Supreme Court pertaining thereto for several months now, and I feel that I could develop a generalized, approachable, in-context entry to replace or compliment the one currently inhabiting your Guide.

In conclusion: I was wondering how one goes about suggesting a replacement to or an augmentation of an already-established entry. There, that only took one line.

I saw my good friend Ford Prefect do it twice for the original Guide, so I am certain that there either is a way, or that Ford Prefect is a dirty, dirty liar.

Thank you again for your attentiveness to this document, which I have eaten once or twice already. It is sadly indigestible.


Sincerely,

Lurvum Finwip

There are in fact three ways you may go about getting an entry amended:
Make a forum post on the page concerned and once enough comments are stacked up then the page may well be reedited.
If you think it is a major point you could either:
Contact the referenced editor/any researchers an suggest your amendments.

Hope this helps.
