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

Hi fizzy, I'm subbing your wonderful entry.
I haven't read the PR thread yet, but I think it's ready. You can find the result at . A13900178

Let me hear what you think

Bel

Hi Bel,

Just got back late last night and am still exhausted - had to work today and have only got around to opening the suitcases this evening.

So - exhausted, playing catch up with sleep and housework - just thought I'd check in and see what's up.

Lucky Gnomon spotted my obvious omission, could you add him to the credits for that please.

Everything else looks fine and dandy to me.

Thanks for the help

No, I've this afternoon handed the entry back, but I'm sure Gnomon wouldn't want to be credited for that, it's what PR is for.
Hope you'll get a nice picture ( it's the only way *I* get a few pictures, when subbing , none of my entries has ever got a pic. )

Aw Bel

There are some classic photos of this Bel I'd love to see one when it makes the front page.

I'm still waiting to see if sprites will appear with a photo I know the beeb have plenty on their science site

Thanks for the help

About credits - on sprites I encluded everyone who gave me any substantial help with definitions or omissions - I also did it with this one, is this not the way it should be done coz I'd hate to offend Gnomon when he's not there

<I have no idea what you think you did, but you are the only author mentioned in both entries.
But yes, you do give them credit if they do substantial parts of the entry, e.g. if you quote whole sentences/paragraphs they have suggested, things like that. Somebody who just comes and points out what you have missed, or maybe done wrong, is not credited - it's wehat PR is for.

Right, but in my sprites, and this one at the end I did this

which I think gives a sort of thanks for the additional information/research/help with this entry
- at least I hope that's what it does.

Yesss, that's a weird feature and I think is only visible when the entry hits the Frontpage, don't ask me why.

So Gnomon didn't make it this time I'll rush round to his ps and apologise in advance and beg his forgiveness then.

Thanks again Bel

I told you, there's absolutely no need for that, I bet he'll be rather surprised if you do.

Well, its done now ...

You know me by now - in like Flynn

Still, I'll just hope its a pleasant surprise for him.

He's nice and his comments are always very constructive, he is knowledgeable in practically everything, yet he's modest , he is fair, - he's Irish

Then he'll surely forgive me for a

You'll know that better than me, I guess
I'm off to bed now, work tomorrow. Have a good night

Goodnight

It's on the Front Page today!
Well done, Fizzy

Yeah for us Bel

I'm still nervous, waiting for EF to point out mistakes I made

Who, or what is EF

Editorial Feedback: that's where people post when they spot mistakes in edited guide entries. Every time an entry that I've subbed hits te FP, I'm quite tense

Oh, I see, well if its any consolation I know Gnomon has seen it, and surely if there was anything wrong with it he would have spotted it by now.

I'm sure it's fine
