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

Hey Zarq, sorry to bother you, but how do you put smileys in a guide ML formated page?

Hi Strider!

Here's one I did earlier <smiley type="magic"/> will get you .

Are you doing up your personal space?

Yup. Thanks for the help. With any luck I'll end up saying "tends to be mostly harmless pretty much all of the time."

Well, it seems to be coming together fairly well!

Did you really mean to say 'dIRE sTRAITS'?

It was purposeful. If you visit the entry, it says that the only true way to be a Dire Straits fan is to spell the band's name "dIRE sTRAITS." Thanks for looking at it. I really appreciate that. Feel free to point out any blatent things that I've overlooked.

, I need your help! (again)

I suppose its probably unavoidable, but if I add a reasercher to my researcher list on an entry, is there any way to keep it from looking as if they've written my guide entry?

if you don't know what I mean, take a look at the Entry Data on the linked entry. Is that just one of those facts of life, or can I put it so that it knows that I wrote it, not PowerEdie?

oops. i mean

Not at the moment, I'm afraid. I think it is being looked into. The big problem is that the earlier Researcher number always comes first, so even if you've done 80% of the work, you still come second.

I offered Azara co-crediting with one of my pieces she had been most helpful with and she told me the same. She refused the offer, saying that as I was new, I should take the credit and that she didn't want people asking her for details of stuff she didn't know the ins and outs of.

I know that some Researchers have overcome this by putting a credit in at the bottom, by way of a footnote, thanking someone for help.

How much work has the other Researcher actually done?

I just used an entry he wrote as a resource for writing a paragraph or two.
