Yes, it was to make it easier to read. Far too many pages (not just "here", in Wiki's in general) consist of a HUGE block of text, that many authors add too/modify but not one of the contributors ever seems reads from top to bottom. It ends up far too long, and says the same thing in 3 differing places, in 3 different way, written by 5 different people, but it still is only "resources can not be moved through a warp gate". It only needs saying once.
Plus they seem to forget "Paragraphs".
Break the text up.
Plus some/many contributors are not native English Speakers, resulting in bad spelling/grammar:
SO many times I see "Win a Price".. D'Oh. You win a PRIZE, not a PRICE. Or "their not very good ships". Their, is in "their car" when the mean "They're" as in "they are".
Call me a "clean up service". I do not as a general rule change the data on a page, unless it is clearly wrong (as in 2 + 2 =6) but I will change "to + too equals for" to " 2 + 2 = 4 ".
Regards, Omet.
