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

PS BB congratulations your one of the featured entries this week "The Watercress Line Mid-Hants Railway, UK"

Oh, thanks - it was quite a while since I wrote that one

<BB<

Hello Bob

I don’t know if you noticed that I've been trying to create a lists of all h2g2's Projects – where there are two or more articles on a single topic, often, though not always, by the same author and often, but not always, written as part of the University. These projects don't have to have entries written at the same time, so even if there is a gap of several years between entries, as long as there is a common theme they can count as a project.

So I was wondering if you could let me know what Projects you have done.

So far I have got:

Completed:
Anglo Saxon Kingdoms
British Burial Barrows
Hadrian's Wall
Roman Navy

In Progress:
Stewarts
Cameras

Would you class the following as projects, and if so, how would you arrange the individual entries in the project? See my suggestions below, but feel free to disagree:

Thanks for the interest you appear to have an idea/suggestion.

I've updated A87852063
Let me know if you're unhappy with the order. If any you feel should have more links to make it easy to navigate through the project, let me know.

<BB<

Looks fine We need to let people know about it though

So hows the publicity going...

It is just a thought but how about request entries this could be of 2 types

Hoo Tooers could request an entry on a subject they want to know more about.

OR

We could offer to produce entries for use by recognised organisations with the idea that they use them for publicity. Payment a full H2G2 advertisement on their free publicity handouts, and cash paid direct to a nominated H2G2 charity.

I've posted it in the other conversation to see what response it gets there.

What conclusion have you made regarding these entrie.

It appears that we are planning to create a reference library, it would be a good idea if browsing readers can find entries faster.

Have you seen: A87901068
Took a little longer than I originally expected...

<BB<

Late reply sorry
I did not know I had been that busy, I do not even know the solo, rescued or collaborative entries that I have done so far.

I think I am sill some way off the 100

You have 80 </.>solo</.> entries so far, only 20 to go before the 100. This means you've currently credited as having written the 15th most Edited Entries.

<BB<

Thanks for that <BB<Is there a list somewhere I am missing some.

As a reward and for a bit of fun, and if you want I have 4 photos of the I.O.W that might inspire you to write some entries(s).

I suppose its a bit of a challenge if you see it that way. Let me know and the photos can be sent to you so we dont spoil the surprise for the other readers.

What do you think

The only list I know of is <./>MA3151547?type=1</.> but it doesn't differentiate between <./>solo</.> and collaborative entries.

Thanks for thinking of me – at the moment I've got the opposite problem of trying not to write entries. As most of my entries were spending years in Peer Review, I've decided to limit the number of entries I've personally written that are in Peer Review to 10 (not counting collaborations) in the hope that it will mean my entries will get through quicker. This has meant that I've written a few entries that are currently queuing waiting for others of my entries to leave Peer Review before they are put in.

But don't let me discourage you if you have photos that you want to share – if there aren't any appropriate entries in the Edited Guide, you can feel free to write them yourself, or why not send the photos to ?

Thanks for the reply BB post have a few on file
