[edit]

Like other characters (Halfrunt = halbrund | Beeblebrocks = Bibelbrocken) these may have just a german root: Fug und Langweil. Especially regarding the 'antgagonist' Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz, which is just Polish for 'ordinary Jelcz car'. Jelcz-Laskowice is a typical silesian community with a typical mixed history. Now a steering wheel is in the coat of arms of this miúnicipality founded in the 13th century. There will be much to detect. Does anybody know if Adams had German sources (like a Grimm or a Muret-Sanders) at hand? Just to send an impulse… Horst Emscher (talk) 07:29, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fancruft

[edit]

Even a quick scan shows this article to be rather crufty. I love HG2G as much as anybody, and I'm sure that the folks who wrote the article love it too. Nonetheless, a lot of what I saw looks very crufty...very in-universe...with a lot of tongue-in-cheek references that non-fans won't likely understand.PurpleChez (talk) 20:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur's full name?

[edit]

I fairly certain in one of the books Wowbanger mentions what Arthurs name is Arthur Philip Dent so should that be put into his part

I'm partially asking as i feel a tad nervous about doing edits StayedBoot7207 (talk) 08:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz duplication

[edit]

Just flagging this here because I don't want to be the arbiter of which stays and which goes, but the entry for Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz is an almost verbatim duplicate of the one that appears on the Vogon page - should one be referred to the other? 111.69.29.3 (talk) 12:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
