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

My name is Feisor and I am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here at h2g2. It's my job to welcome you to the site and hopefully show you around a little. I AM a real person, not an automated reply not an automated reply not an automated reply .

Welcome to h2g2 – not just the friendliest on-line community but an incredibly huge, living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. It’s compiled by researchers just like you and it's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that.

I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll open your personal space and tell us a little about yourself - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

We ACEs are volunteers here to assist new researchers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You can leave a message on my space just by clicking on my name at the top of this message or by hitting the reply button below - it won't hit back (usually).

I have made a "Hints and Links for New Researchers" page at <./>A719840</.> - if you go there it will lead you to all sorts of places which will help find your way around and get to know this wonderful place. It should keep you busy for a while

Oh, and don’t forget to bookmark not only your space but the H2G2 <./>FrontPage</.> - it’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s happening and leads to all sorts of corners which you may otherwise miss.

I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all !!!

Hello Feisor!
Thak you for you kind welcome. I hope everyone is as friendly around here as you are.

NOTE TO SELF: Must use preview button ..... Must use preview button ....

i might actually get around to writing something sometime or other. what is this pr stuff that people go on about?

PR is Peer Review - it's a process that entries go through before they are accepted into the Edited Guide.

Articles that you write, though, don't HAVE to go to the Edited Guide as all articles are accessible to all comers.

To find out what they are looking for in the Edited Guide go to <./>writing-guidelines</.> and to find out about Peer Review go to PeerReview

i've been mucking about with guideml as far as ican understand this is the standard lingo round here. but if i want to write for pr i don't have to use guideml do i? i just have to write something (and remember to use the shift key from time to time )

If you go to Writing-Beginners about half way down there's a section called "Using the Guide Entry Editor" which says "There are two ways to write entries - plain text and GuideML - and here are quick guides to creating your very own Guide Entries" and takes it from there ....

I think, that a quick read of that page and the others that are linked to will prove most helpful to you

You may also like to check out <./>SubEditors-GuideML</.> which tells you which tags are approved and how to use them.

G'day,

Just thought that I'd follow up and see how you were going - all ok??

I see that you've changed your nickname, That's very hootoo of you - well, at least I'll know who you are when I see you around

I've shed my skin, in a manner of speaking. Sorry about stringing you along there for a while but I couldn't make up my mind as to whether to come clean about it all.

I just checked your conversations and know what you're talking about (now) - Welcome Back Bob

S'ok, I won't mention it again

You obviously don't need an ACE .... so I'll just leave you to it - I am pleased that you are back

I would bet this researcher knows better than to use words in his nickname that some would find objectionable.
One thing I like about hootoo is they keep the language clean.

There was nothing objectionable when I was speaking to him ... as you can see, when he originally signed in he was "insignificant other"
