Talk:K-PAX

message: The article states that: "In the books, prot notes that Jane Goodall, John Lennon, Henry David Thoreau, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Albert Schweitzer are among the most K-PAXian (famous) humans on Earth." which is inacurrate. The book actually states on many occasions, that prot is the only one of his species to visit Earth and those mentioned are simply humans who live their lives in a similar way to that of K-PAXians. --109.80.206.182 (talk) 08:22, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  K-PAXians on Earth 

message: 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)
replies: text: In line with the above, I've just re-capitalised all the "prot"s. Personally I'm happy for them to be reverted if we state the convention at the start of the article. Syneil (talk) 22:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: 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)
thread_title:  Information 

message: There is 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)
replies: text: I'm glad someone mentioned this! But it needs to be on the main page, not lost in the Talk page. I came here expecting to find that both movies were taken from this novel, haha but the novel is from the 1990s! Amazing that Subiela hasn't been given credit. Man Facing South-east is a fabulous movie, one of the best I've ever seen. Am about to watch K-Pax, it certainly sounds exactly the same so far. I just read a few critic reviews, Ebert etc of K-PAX, strangely they seem unaware of 'Hombre'. Although Subiela's movies don't seem to be that well-known, a Colombian friend says it's because they're too intelligent for the latin public. I'm not sure of how much 'Hombre' was taken from Philip K Dick. Some, at least, I read. The main female character is surnamed "Dick" in recognition of that.

thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: 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)
