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

Hi Uncharted (I presume )

Great entry you've written, which I'm delighted to be subbing; it's a wonderful piece of work and I think it will make a marvellous addition to the Guide.

I notice you haven't had an entry accepted into the Edited Guide yet (, or where I'm from) so i thought I'd give you a brief breakdown of what happens next.

First I sub-edit the entry; make sure everything to do with the ML is in House style and check the spelling, punctuation and grammar and make any changes necessary. I'll also look at the PR thread in case there are any points you haven't addressed and query any of these with you; I've passed this stage already, so you're doing ok

I'll then add links to any relevant entries; some internal (for example, I could pick the word 'relationships' from the second paragraph and link to A565535) and some external (for example, http://romance-books.classic-literature.co.uk/jane-austen/emma/ - a poor example, but it gives you the idea).

When I think the entry is ready to go back to the editors, I'll post you here again with any final queries and ask you to check the entry in case I've slipped in any errors - I'm normally keen to get entries back so that I can work on other material, so this might be a case of 'Hi Uncharted, I'm sending this back in the next 24 hours'! After I return it, I lose editing priviliges (though I can recommend changes last-minute), so keep checking the site for any posts from me

Then we wait for it to go on the Front Page!

As a rough idea, I would hope to have this back to the Eds for Monday morning - everything seems to be in place so I don't see this hanging around.


If you have any queries or suggestions on the process, just post me back on this thread.

You can find the Edited version here: A6084966.

Great, thanks for letting me know. I'm around a lot, so I'll probably see your post pretty quickly.

Sorry, I'm still working on this. I've had a few things to do with the Scouts group and also took on an extra entry that was needed for Halloween.

The good news is I've only got links to add, so should have this in over the weekend!

Apologies that this is taking longer than anticipated

Actually, I think it's done. not many links around to be found, to be honest.

Post me back that this is OK and I'll return it

That's great, thanks.

Returned

See you on the Front Page!

My first!

Doubly bubbly then!!
