The Stars! entry on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars%21
is in danger of being deleted. See the blue section at the top of the entry.

I have no idea who made all the entries there, but perhaps the detailed content should be moved to http://www.egamia.com/ as it suggests.

History say these were Hephaestos, Grey Area, Staz69uk and DaWarMage.

Overall it seems OK for vikipedia entry. Rolling Eyes

Some suggestions and descriptions are maybe bit too how-toish especially in "Race design" section and "Advanced play" section.

It is largely my work, but I'm a bit swamped right now with a new baby so I probably won't be able to fix it.

The content has all been copied to Gible's Stars! wiki http://wiki.gible.net/index.php?title=What_Is_Stars%21 so it won't be lost.

I agree with the complaint about it being too detailed for wikipedia. Something more like the VGA Planets entry is probably better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_Planets
