[edit] Name changes
Although in the article it states that K-Paxians do not capitalize proper names, we are not K-Paxians so I capitalized all the lower case p's in the Prot throughout the article. Xephik 02:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
As prot is the name of the character and it's a work of fiction, I have decapitalized the name. One 11:19, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Even tho K-Paxians do not capitilise proper names, shouldn't prot have a capital where it appears at the start of a sentence? Even words that aren't proper names have capitals when they appear at the start of the sentence. SexyIrishLeprechaun 16:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
If anyone knows a K-paxian than we can settle this the right way.Shreder 02 (talk) 12:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
In the books, the letters at the beginning of every sentence are capitalized. With this in mind, 'prot' is only to be capitalized at the beginning of a sentence. By verdict of me, so be it. 71.197.86.209 (talk) 19:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Information
Not enough information on the books. We need someone who has read them to provide summaries, and hopefully, an analysis. Malamockq 19:37, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Should definately be merged, KPAXians only exist in these books and film and as the book and film pages are so sparce it seems daft that kpaxians have their own page (Wildfireone 00:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC))
Having just seen the film I agree that it should be merged. BalzacLFS 09:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- An analysis by someone who has read the books would be original research. Any such information has to come from a reliable published source outside Wikipedia. --Ginkgo100talk 03:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trilogy?
If there is a fourth book then it isn't a trilogy anymore, right? Guirro 23:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

There are 5 books in "The Increasingly Inaccurately Named Hitchhikers Guide Trilogy" Shreder 02 (talk) 12:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
That makes sense for Hitchhiker's, where it is just another joke in a comic series. It makes no sense to use it here. 75.57.232.186 (talk) 08:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Plagiarism
There a major argentinean film "Hombre mirando al sudeste" (1986) by film director Eliseo Subiela http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091214/, can any one point at references of this film and the issues arising from obvious similarities in the 1986-film and the novel and film? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.137.93.112 (talk) 09:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Odd Style
This section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prot#K-PAXians is written very strangely. It claims that they only capitalize the names of celestial bodies, yet the article itself capitalizes a name. Is this intentional? I assume it is (as we speak English, not KPAXian or whatever ;) ) but should be reviewed by someone who actually has "read" the book (not me). I'm not going to look up whoever wrote some comment about how gravity works, but it struck me as kind of "silly". If we want to know what gravity is, the place to ask is probably not in the front face of an encyclopeida article. Who could possibly answer there? Consequently I'm removing that, but to the author, here is an answer: You seemed confused that a planet smaller than Neptune could exert "less gravity" than Earth. Gravity has nothing to do with the size of a planet, so there's nothing wrong with that. Gravity is caused by mass, not by volume. A planet the size of Neptune could easily be far "heavier" than the Earth if it were composed entirely of some very heavy substance; thus it would have "more gravity". 125.236.211.165 (talk) 03:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm with ya! Shreder 02 (talk) 12:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
