It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

An appropriate infobox may need to be added to this article, or the current infobox may need to be updated. Please refer to the list of biography infoboxes for further information.

[edit] Book cover image

Can we actually use that here? The template would seem to indicate that book-cover pics can only used when discussing the book itself, not its author in general. Loganberry (Talk) 16:57, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Repeat: can we use this? My feeling is that a book-cover image would be okay for Watership Down itself (though there we use a British cover, which is as it should be for a British book) but really is not here. Unless someone gives a good counter-argument, I'm inclined to remove it. Loganberry (Talk) 01:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• I think you're right. We should find an image of Adams that we can use, but the book cover should probably be removed. - Nascentatheist 01:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
