Forums: Stephen Fry Board: Submissions to the Guide of Stephen Fry

Information on Submissions

First of all, great that you want to help improving the guide. I appreciate it. This can either be a new information or editing the old one for errors or plagiarism.

I used the examples to show that comments on submissions can be quite detailed. It needn't be as long, just let me know about your research.

Here are the official Person Submission Guidelines. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Enjoy the guide, I look forward to your submissions.

1) Quotes

Please provide a source for your quote so that the information can be confirmed. This can be either a complete url, a book, or a magazine (with publication year and page). If necessary, provide some detail on the context of the quote. Use the submission comments to let me know why something is important to you, that helps. Basically, the quote should be a good addition to the guide and sould not be already provided.

The name of Stephen Fry is bold followed by a colon. Context is provided in italics and within brackets. Here is an example of what a quote submission looks like:

Quotes Blurb:

Code:

<b>Stephen Fry</b>: <i>(on his writing)</i> I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.

Submission comment:

His way of writing a book.

2) Trivia

Again, please provide a source for your Trivia so that the information can be confirmed. You need to use your own words. Please make sure that the significance of the Trivia item is clear for everybody; provide detail if necessary. Also check if there are Trivia items where your information can be integrated (like the awards item). Use "edit" instead of "add" then. Use the submission comments to let me know what you think, that helps.

Trivia is mainly normal text. I do not expect you to provide hyperlinks but of course, you can do this. Just click on "edit" for a blurb with a link to see how it is done. Here is an example for a Trivia item:

Trivia Blurb:

Code:

In 2001, Stephen Fry was a guest on <i>Room 101</i>, a BBC comedy show. The basic premise is to name things that are hated, loathed, or despised and put them into <i>Room 101</i>. Stephen went so far as to put <i>Room 101</i> itself into <i>Room 101</i> since it only focuses on negative things. He would like to add a <i>Room Lovely</i>.

Submission Comment:

This unusual fact is based on viewing the episode: seen in the last part of the episode.
