Copyrighted excerpt

The quotation from chapter three of HGTTG may be an "excessively long copyrighted excerpt" and may not satisfy the requirements of WP:FAIR. Walter Siegmund (talk) 11:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Look up the definition of excessive and you will notice it's not excessive. The article only uses a mere two paragraphs, short ones too, compared to approx. 300 pages of text the novel has. It's less than 0,1% of the copyrighted work and thus I don't think excessive is the right word for it, I'd rather say it's exactly what WP:FAIR#Text specifies... --SoWhy ^Talk 11:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As already noticed, it's an extremely small quote in the context of the HHGTTG. I also like to look at the series as a whole, which makes the quote less than 1/800 of the whole works.
