Talk:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (fictional)

Fair use rationale for Image:Guideside.jpg
Image:Guideside.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Spoiler alert?
In the section that describes how the guide relates to Dent the article kinda gives away the ending of the entire series. cs302b —Preceding comment was added at 05:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Guide Mark II
There is basically no mention of the Guide Mark II which is in the form of a talking bird, and has cosmic powers to alter reality. ShawnVW (talk) 18:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, though I don't remember enough to write the section myself.192.227.56.2 (talk) 14:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Babel Fish diagram.jpg
The image Image:Babel Fish diagram.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

similarity to Wikipedia
I observe, reading the section on "editting", that the Guide is in many ways similar to Wikipedia (editted by random folk who wandered in and saw something worth doing, patchy and full of errors, etc). I'm tempted to add a note to that effect.
 * Please note that such a comparison is already in the article.  Serendi pod ous  20:42, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
