History, Science or...?

Hi folks

I've written an article on dinosaurs and another on evolution of man. Not sure how to classify them. Would you place them under Alternative Science, History or something else entirely?

What do you all think?
Thanks
David

Usage versus full rights

Hi Quick question: I notice that a full rights sale is what most writers aim for, and it seems that's what CC owners like, too. Most of my articles are in the price range of $40 for full rights & £20 for usage, and my usage article sales are quickly catching up to my full rights total. I never h...

Re: Help needed with comma splices

Thanks folks, all your help is much appreciated.

I have submitted an article which (that?) has been sitting pretty for nearly a week. Its acceptance will probably be as beneficial to my health as most anti-cancer foods!

Catch you all on the flipside (whatever that means) :wink:

Re: Help needed with comma splices

Thanks Lysis, appreciate your help. I like the idea of drastically cutting back on them & glad to hear it's having some payback for you. Sometimes you just can't avoid the little critters! :roll:

Help needed with comma splices

Hi all Having a really rough time with comma splices. After nearly three successful years on CC, I've suddenly had a rash of successive rejections regarding commas, and it has completely knocked my confidence. Instead of writing new material for the site, I find myself rewriting rejected articles to...

Question about animal & menu names

Hello fellow drones
I have a question: how do you capitalise animal names?
For instance, what would I do with Red Winged Starling (or red winged starling).
And does this apply to dishes on a menu - for instance Giant Tiger Prawns (or giant tiger prawns).
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
David

Comma Rejection

Hi Please could somebody assist me with this, as I don't want the article to be rejected twice. The rejection note, comma related, is as follows: "History has, perhaps unfairly, always laid the blame at Richard’s door[,] but it is just as likely that his nemesis and successor, Henry VII, had th...

Re: Who are the buyers?

Of the 4 I've been able to track there are 2 blog sites, an advice column, and a website selling articles.
