HowTo talk:Walk on Saturn without falling over
I hear a Proofreading Service is available. There are many run-on sentences and missing commas. If you get it proofread, it's important to study what changes he made and learn from it. Also: I thought the final section is too heavy on self-reference and could be made more clever. Spıke Ѧ 11:32 28-Apr-13
- I was thinking of making a series of HowTo:[do something] on Saturn where the person reading the guide keeps ending up in a worse position than he started in hence the last paragraph. you might understand more when I start the next one in the series. Sir ScottPat
Ah, so the reason it is so heavy on self-reference is that you are creating an institution?! I am not against that, nor even that the end of this article point to the next one with a See Also or even a navigation template; only that the text refer to itself. Don't talk about the instruction you are giving; simply, give it. Spıke Ѧ 12:44 28-Apr-13
- I will do a see also when I've made the next on in the series. Thanks. Sir ScottPat
- PS - Thanks for touching up the article. Do you want me to remove it from VFH? Sir ScottPat
(Sheesh! still thinks he's an Admin.) It would fall to Romartus to delete it or mark it as failed, which I don't think he will do--not having done so to the raft of noms by banned users Pizzawiki2 and TCBY!. But my vote against stands, for now, as the nom was premature. Spıke Ѧ 13:14 28-Apr-13
- Sorry I thought I could simply highlight it all and delete it and save the edit. I'm still new and I think I no I'm not an admin. Sir ScottPat
No one should blank a page in a voting forum; that's sort of like un-moving a question after it has gone to The Floor. You could ask Romartus to take your nomination down; that's been done, but I don't feel strongly that you must, and this might become feature-worthy with more work. I could even wind up flipping to For. It is already a nice rocket-ride toward absurdity. I like the way you got silly when broaching the topic of future NASA funding, as the USA is currently embroiled in dead-serious finger-pointing over spending reductions. Spıke Ѧ 13:39 28-Apr-13
Really I didn't know that. I know I'm not a US citizen so my comment is invalid but I believe if you paid just a bit more tax you could get NASA's manned space exploration back and working again so Man may go to the Moon again. I wish the ESA would do some more about it. I think it's time we Brits got a man on Moon. There's actually quite a good Uncyclopedia article about that. Sir ScottPat
PS - Any other things I need to change on the article that you can think of? Sir ScottPat
Pee Review[edit]
Humour: | 10 | Your humor is great. This is the common side of your articles: they don't lack any jokes. My favorite parts are about "Certificate", "History", "Introduction". Sorry for not being able to tell you any suggestions of improvement. |
Concept: | 8 | I appreciate your idea: to make a guide on walking on Saturn. This article has a very different structure from other HowTo s. But this doesn't make it bad. The particularity of your work is that:
|
Prose and formatting: | 7.5 | Very good! You have several problems: punctuation (...), capital letters (LIFT OFF, YOU) and several rhetoric questions which are not common in encyclopedias or even in HowTos. They are not that significant because they don't spoil the impression of your article but you still need a little bit of work. Other few remarks are:
|
Images: | 9 | I have never seen an article where all the images were so relevant. I don't think that images could be better. I had an impression that you took photos yourself knowing which ones you needed.
|
Miscellaneous: | 8.6 | Average score. |
Final Score: | 43.1 | Very well done for your first HowTo guide. It is very funny and is good enough for VFH but I think that you should improve the length of your sections and the information they contain (Concept), several formatting problems (Prose). I laughed a lot of times while reading your article! |
