I don't know if this is really pending or if it's just pretending to be pending, but I found a couple of mistakes. It says "Cature" instead of "Capture" and I also think some quotes have to be footnoted or else it counts as plagiarism.

posting it attached to the entry will get it fixed, no problem. Try to be nice, though - sub-eds are just volunteers, and some of them are a bit sensitive to criticism, so don't forget to thank them for all the stuff they did right!

That's okay - this one's being subbed by our in-house editors: we shouldn't be making mistakes (this one was mine, actually ) so you can be a little shirty...
I'll fix it up right away - thanks for spotting that!
As for plagiarism (in fact it would be copyright in this case, I think), I've got Peta on the case, so she'll reply soon.
