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

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that I've just finished sub-editing your entry, Thursday (A700930). Please feel free to look over my changes and let me know if you have any queries.

One question, you give a 'thanks to' in the comments to two other h2g2 researchers. Would you like to give them a writing credit (ie. add them to the contributers list)?

Two things. First, '...have retained primarily the initial 'j/g', but the etymological link is from Jupiter.' is a bit awkward, and I haven't found a better way to word it. Any ideas? Also, I would put a colon after 'The following are a few' rather than a fullstop.

As for the credit, they really belong in 'Thanks to' list, or whatever it's called, which is on the features list. I put them there mainly in the hopes that someday, when the feature is actually implemented, someone could go back and put them in. Not very likely, but it's a hope. Can you leave it in as a comment, or should I just be sure to keep the list around and pray that they'll get around to it (not to mention someone actually updating it)?

Have a look now. What do you think?

Better, better, but 'Wah! Wah!' Try it again.

Sorry.

I've got it. How about '...have retained the initial 'j' or 'g' letters from Jupiter.'

Just a few things

1. Not that it matters much, but you misspelled 'features' in the comment

2. What's that doing there? Now, now, you know perfectly well that sub-eds aren't supposed to use those.

3. Ok, come on, put them back. Come on, change them back to 'Thursday'. Yes, every one.

-Spike A.

It's been changed back now, don't worry.

isn't guideml at the moment, but it probably will be soon. I'm used to using it in XHTML pages instead of ...

Thanks. Just two things. First, could you change the J/G part to the version above; second, you took out the comment, so should I just be sure to save it somewhere?

-Spike A.

It's out of my hands now, the in-house-editors made those changes...

You should probably make a note of that comment elsewhere, and let one of the editorial staff know about the suggested change.

Thanks!
