Structure
editGoals
edit- Improve major articles, try to get some of them to Good article status.
- Improve minor articles.
- Potentially adopt other Douglas Adams-related articles: The Dirk Gently novels (Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul), The Salmon of Doubt, and The Meaning of Liff for further improvement.
To Do List
editTo Do
edit- Improve articles for each of the six novels per standards of Wikiproject Novels.
- Improve the article for the Hitchhiker's film per standards of Wikiproject Films: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film). This must include proper inline referencing!
- Include proper inline referencing for other major articles:
- Add details into the new article, Differences in versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Be careful not to copyvio the essay published in SFX magazine.
Done
edit- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series) was improved to the level of FA, the third Hitchhiker's/Douglas Adams related FA.
Adopt an article
editSimilar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
- KPWM_Spotter has tentatively agreed to finish the TV series summaries in the same style of the radio series episodes.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book) - Nishantjr
