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

SO how do you find out if someone has linked to your piece ?

I just Googled for "We Didn't Start The Fire" + h2g2.

Got about 4 pages worth.

I did link to: and then the URL (with no skin in the link).

And don't forget all the proofreading you did!

No, you did that - and I haven't forgotten.

I reckon you might struggle to get co-writers if you attempt another collaborative B



Incidently - I never got involved because all the things I was either interested in or knew about had been grabbed - and I was too lazy to research something I knew nothing about.

I've retired from collabs, anyway. I want to produce more solo entries, which I haven't done many of in the past.

Getting involved was completely a personal choice from each and every researcher. I'm not saying I didn't appreciate it, but if needs be I would have written each and every section myself. Making it collaborative seemed to encapsulate the h2g2 community spirit, and I'm disappointed that more people didn't take part. As he hinted, Gnomon deseerves a bit more credit for his input during the editorial stage, but otherwise I think everyone got the recognition they deserved. It's usually easier to write a few paragraphs encapsulating a subject than a full-size Entry.
