==Structure==

<!--
Discuss the format for each article based on the WikiProject.  Include various categories applicable to the topic.
-->



==Goals==
# Improve major articles, try to get some of them to [[WP:GA|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==
===To Do===
#Improve articles for each of the six novels per standards of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels|Wikiproject Novels]].
##''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (novel)]]''
##''[[The Restaurant at the End of the Universe]]''
##''[[Life, the Universe and Everything]]''
##''[[So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish]]''
##''[[Mostly Harmless]]''
##''[[And Another Thing... (novel)]]''
#Improve the article for the ''Hitchhiker's'' film per standards of [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject Films|Wikiproject Films]]: ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (film)]]''. This must include proper inline referencing! 
#Include proper inline referencing for other major articles:
##''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases]]''
##''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary to Quintessential Phases]]''
##''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (TV series)]]''
#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===
#''[[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 [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|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.
* [[User:KPWM_Spotter|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)]] - [[User:Nishantjr|Nishantjr]]

*{{tl|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-stub}}
**and the associated stub category [[:Category:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stubs]]
