Goals

 * 1) Improve major articles, try to get some of them to Good article status.
 * 2) Improve minor articles.

To Do

 * 1) Improve articles for each of the six novels per standards of Wikiproject Novels.
 * 2) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (novel)
 * 3) The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
 * 4) Life, the Universe and Everything
 * 5) So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
 * 6) Mostly Harmless
 * 7) And Another Thing... (novel)
 * 8) 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!
 * 9) Include proper inline referencing for other major articles:
 * 10) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases
 * 11) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary to Quintessential Phases
 * 12) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV series)
 * 13) 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

 * 1) 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
Similar 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.
