# grrr
uni IPs are blocked from editing wikipaedia due to 'consistent vandalism' that's a fucking disgrace, and it's lazy on their part to block all unis rather than just the ones that seek to improve wikipaedia by defacing it.
anyways. the fair usage bit under the picture is wrong as Douglas appeared in the hitch-hiker's guide series, so their claim of 'did not appear until after h2g2 became famous' is slightly wrong. but i cna't update it

# I wasn't aware of him being in the original radio series
so if he wasn't, then it's true that he didn't appear in it until after it was famous.

# hmm
badly worded phrases then, either way it ought to be corrected as it implies that it's the tv series

# Either way
I don't think he was in H2G2 (whichever incarnation) until it (the radio series at the very least) was famous.

# i understand you perfectly
i just feel that someone whose IP isn't blocked (you?) could go on and alter that phrase by adding the word radio and clear it all up

i'll still think it's a shite website (wikipaedia)

# I think what they mean is
He didn't appear on TV until after the radio series took off (talk show appearances etc.). Then they made the TV version, in which he also starred.
