I wrote my very first Guide Entry after searching the Flea Market
I found A441136 by U154066, who had unfortunately Elvis'd before I got here.
I went on to write Ayrton Senna - Racing Legend A12511955
and Ayrton Senna - The Formula 1 Years A12511991
Both were Edited on the <./>FrontPage</.> on the same day!

I haven't rescued a guide entry from the flea market before but I would like to. I just feel a bit nervous because I am afraid of finding out that someone else has already rescued it. Is the only way of finding out by looking at the conversations written for the guide entry to see if someone has said that they will rescue it or do people just rescue it without mentioning.

Most will drop a line to say they're rescueing an Entry, so I wouldn't wory yourself over things like that. Jump in, have a go, follow the guidelines and Bob's your hairy aunt.
You'll be fine, just enjoy.

Hmm. Obvioulsy I don't mind, as I have neglected the hall somewhat of late, but it would've been twice to have been asked.

I'm sorry you were looked over, wasn't me guv! I'm trying to get something more out of it from the Editors, see Post 10 of the thread. You never know, might breath some more life into the site as a whole Maybe.

I misunderstood what Matt said, and just emailed the Eds asking for the rights to be switched over to Matt; sorry Kerr, sorry Matt, blame me. I thought Matt said "the original owner wouldn't mind".
So just me or something
