Maz would now post full details of the Quiz please in line with Site guidelines (Title, theme, how to obtain a copy, number of questions).

PS Some of us, me included, don't agree with asking the whole quiz - certainly without knowing the full details.

Maz3537. Captain2 is right. I presume you are new to AB. Have a read of the Guidelines. All you need to do is type the title of the Quiz and the closing date in the top line. In the box ask all the questions (not the whole quiz!). The AB is set up to help people who are stuck on the last few! People are willing to help but do like you to have a good stab at it first.
Good Luck.

[bluebell56]

Also forgot to mention. A thank you when you get the answers is polite.

"Maz would now post full details of the Quiz please in line with Site guidelines (Title, theme, how to obtain a copy, number of questions)."

This is what the site guidelines are when asking quiz and puzzle questions-

"Asking a Question:


1.    Before you ask a question please skim through questions already posted, or use the search function provided, to see if the information you need has already been posted on the site. If not continue as below.


2.    Enter the name of the Quiz/Puzzle in the Question title field


3.    In the main body users should indicate on which Clue assistance is required.


4.    Users should then try and give as much information as possible about the clue for example:
    a.    The Clue itself, for example: “Where is the best place to ask and answer questions?”
    b.    The number of letters required, for example: (3)/(10)
    c.    Any letters which have already been worked out in the answer should be presented as:  T?E/A??WE?BA?K. Here the “?” represents a missing letter while the “/” represents a space, a space itself is also acceptable. The answer to the clue is, of course, “The AnswerBank.”


5.    If you receive a helpful answer please indicate with the “best answer” option and offering a thank you. This should be done on the original thread, not in an entirely new thread.


6.    Please keep chat to the ends of answered questions – “chat” threads in Quizzes and Puzzles are very unpopular with those who are still searching for clues and answers."

There is nothing there about having to give the theme, how to obtain a copy or the number of questions.

"If you are asking for help with a quiz, please can you ensure to include the quiz title and closing date. " You will find this at the end of the Q&P Monthly list of quizzes (in the 'sticky' at the top of the Q&P page).

[THECORBYLOON]

Newbies are being referred to the Quiz Guidelines but that does not ask for closing dates.

The "sticky" makes no mention of having to give the theme or how to obtain the quiz etc..

[Mamyalynne]

It's generally felt that quizzes are a community and as well as being helpful would like to get a copy and boost the funds of the charity too.

The closing date makes it clear whether it is worthwhile trying to obtain a copy.

[THECORBYLOON]

I have no problem with that but as some experienced folk are wrong about the Site Guidelines, perhaps they should read them before pointing out newbie "errors"?

[angie55]

Alternatively, AB editor could consolidate all the guidelines for Q&P into one place.

[Mamyalynne]

To prevent this becoming a running squabble I have done a contact and asked that the requirements be put into the guidelines.

[Mamyalynne]

Section 2 of the guidelines now reads.

//2. Enter the name of the Quiz/Puzzle in the Question title field and please don't forget to add a closing date if one is applicable! //

As regards details of how to get a quiz, most posters will oblige when a polite request is made if the setters are happy to allow that.
