Scope of this article

This article was re-written a year ago to be a "jumping-off point" for all of the various versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, not just the novel, or the film, or the radio or TV series. Those four versions now all have their own sub-pages, and many other versions are discussed within the text of this article. The aforementioned sub-pages are now all linked in the introductory text of this article - links like dablinks were tried, but eventually edited out, as they were thought to cause too much clutter at the top of the article, since there IS a template at the bottom (in addition to the links to sub-pages in the text, as mentioned). At any rate, this article has almost become a Portal to H2G2 in all forms, in all but name, and saying that this article is about just the novel is simply incorrect. --JohnDBuell 18:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2005 Movie image

I noticed there was no image for the 2005 movie section, so I was bold and added one. I was careful not to duplicate the movie poster used in the main article on the film, so I used an alternatre version. Upon further investigation, however, I see that my image is already in use in the article HHG2 as an International phenomenon. I will try to find a "foreign" (that is, non-English language) poster for the latter article, but in the meantime, what does everybody think about the image being used here? It seems the film section deserves some image, main article or no. Thoughts? Reimelt 22:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a fine addition, and a great idea to use the #2 poster to be different from the movie article. --JohnDBuell 00:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

book or radio series better?

I'm currently listening to the radio series, and I love it. Are the books much different? Is there a general consensus on which one is "better" or are they fairly equal in quality? What are the most important changes? Which is considered the most important "source"? etc.--Sonjaaa 20:38, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
