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

Hi there

Just to let you know that I've been assigned your entry on Hayao Miyazaki for sub-editing.

I see that this is your first Edited Entry, so I'll just fill you in on what happens now (in case you don't already know!)

I'm a sub-editor; I'll go through your article to make sure it's all spelt and punctuated properly, and generally tidy it up so it's ready for the Edited Guide - hopefully I won't have to do too much Then I'll send it back to the editors, who'll give it a quick glance over and then it'll go in the queue to be featured on the Front Page.

The new copy is at A4552382 - you can't make any changes to this one, as this is the copy that will go into the Edited Guide, so if you spot anything that needs a last minute change, let me know and I'll change it

And if you've got any questions about the process, drop me a note in here and I'll do my best to answer

Another quick note:

I have a couple of concerns about your links. Most are fine - but there are two which are almost exclusively in Japanese (the ones for Tokyo Movie Shinsha and Butaya), and that won't be allowed in the Edited Guide. Are there any English versions of these links?

Also, the Spirited Away link is just a collection of reviews; people seeing this in the EG would expect something about the film's plot, or history, or something like that. Have you got any ideas for something to replace that link?

Joe

There aren't English versions of the first two concerns, as far as I'm aware.

As a replacement for Tokyo Movie Shinsha, I've dug up http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=455, which is a list of all the projects they've been involved with.

I can't find anything for Butaya, so it'll probably have to go.

Spirited Away can be replaced by either http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245429/
or
http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/sen/
Either should be fine, pick at your own discretion.

That's done

Two other changes - I've taken out a couple of the footnotes, to make it a bit more user-friendly. I've also reworded the paragraph about Joe Hisaishi, since it was almost directly copied from the page you've linked to, and that's not really allowed in the EG.

Other than that, it's all done! Give it a quick once-over if you like, just to make sure you're happy with it - when you're ready, I'll send it off.

Looks fine, go ahead and send it off.

Done - that's possibly one of my fastest turnarounds yet

Nice one

Cheers, mate.
