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

Hhave you read my guide entry? Oh, by the way, how did we meet?

Hi Gazongola,

I haven't read your entry yet - I will do, though , although probably not today - it's my son's birthday - he's nine today. The favourite thing he has is a hand torch without batteries - it's based on a dynamo design. I made some airfix model aeroplanes when I was little - Spitfires, Hurricanes and the biggest thing was a Flying Fortress.

How did we meet - good question - I'm not sure - probably through a conversation on a Peer Review entry.

"Ah, here is the birthday of Little noticed.

'Gazongola', you jump via the name above the postings to the researchers Personal Space, there you find all the researcher ever published.
(and not deleted, I wonder what superlaser you wrote )

We can not find any path you have ever taken, just threads you have posted on.


'Asmodai dark' already did a nice job indeed.

For trying out, create an entry in a(n?) new window using < <./>UserEdit</.> >.

Go to the bottom, next to the [Change style] button you see these nice little circles (radio buttons) select the one close to the text GuideML and press [Change style].


Open in another window the posting by 'Asmodai dark', < <./>F48874?thread=440020&skip=37&show=1</.> >. Copy the entire posting into your new created entry, between the

and

tags.
Fix the as 'Zarquon's Singing Fish!' suggested to a !
First next thing to do is [Add Guide Entry], saving the content to the server.
Now use the [EDIT] button to go back to update the content of your entry.
To my opinion the bold text should be outside the paragraph as it is something of a title and should not be incorporated inside the paragraph.
Should fit better then but that is a technicality.


Use < <./>UserEditA2779149</.> > to open the Peer Review entry for editing. Same procedure with the radio button and the [Change style].
Now the entry looks like a mess, just delete the plaintext content and replace with the content of the test entry you created earlyer.

Fair enough. Thanks.

Traveller in Time on his head
"No thanks, most of the work has already been done by 'Asmoid'.

You do not have to try it, it is just a short way to try out!"

BTW. I deleted Superlaser. Too much hassle.

Traveller in Time still curious about the laser
"Well, that is something I never will understand. I only 'delete' as in hide entries if they are not fit for public view .

Removing it from the Peer Review is enough to stop the discussion about it. If you tick the checker (during edit) [ ] Not for Review then nobody can push it into review (except by you).

Deleting an entry does not harm the content. It is still there, only out of view (except for the editors and moderators).

Any content, as long as it is not a straight forward copy from something else, is worth of being published in the unedited Guide."

Traveller in Time searching for the undelete button
Use < <./>MA564956?type=3</.> > to undelete, only you can see anything, we get an error."

Thanks. It is just hidden.
