 | | Hi again 
Have just had a quick scan through this and it all looks basically very good
There are one or two slips in general sentence construction and syntax, but overall it makes great reading
With your permission I would love to feature this in The Post
If you agree, I will edit it, add some GUIDEML (subheadings, indented paragraphs etc) to it and send it back for your approval before using it.
If you are happy to give this a go, please email me at shazz@shazzpr.com

 | | Ok then
Just one thing though... although your piece appearing in The Post will put it into the 'searchable guide entries', the best way to actually have it accepted as a Guide Entry proper is to submit it to Peer Review and give others the chance to look through it
This CAN be a little harrowing as there are some pretty strong critics out there (not always, just sometimes).
I will try to get it done for you tomorrow am so that you can see it before I put it in
If you could just drop me an email saying something like "Hi, I'm Methos", that would be great 
Anything else you need to know, please just ask

| | LOL! I can imagine
To actually have an entry accepted into the 'Guide proper' (sorry, it's the only way I can think to describe it) your writing has to go through various stages.
Maybe you would be best to check out: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Writing-Beginners
for an idea of the process.
Obviously your piece is 'on' the Guide and will stay forever on the page you have placed it on, but if you would like to take it one step further it has to be checked by other writers and researchers, picked by a 'Scout' and then passed on to a 'sub-editor' for its final tidying up process. 
It must sound horribly daunting for you... don't worry though, there is plenty of help around the site
The nice thing about having it in The Post is that it will be read by quite a few h2gers who may not see it otherwise, and you may also receive helpful comments, as well as praise! 
I have your email and will explain further in my reply

| | The Peer Review is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/PeerReview or something along those lines. This is aa great article, Methos, and I think it's time that you put it into Peer Review. And if by chance i am the one who ends up Sub-Editing it, then even better! The one thng is, however, that it will be pushed around a bit and it won't be exactly as you wrote it, but not much will change. It is, however, an honour to have an Edited Guide entry, and it would be a pleasure to edit it for the Guide, although the person who Sub-Edits it is chosen by computer...
