104:. This article is on the short side as the character is from the pre-internet era: not only before journalists had any deep analysis of a game's story, but arguably before any game character had enough depth to analyze. But there are enough later reviewers who remember this character as a sort of historic turning point, inspiring a later generation of game developers. I focused the weight of the article on the biggest real-world impact, rather than an exhaustive look of plot details, and feel confident it still meets our comprehensiveness requirements. 448:
compared to solitary predators..." and now I could write "Character X, Y, and Z have stated that their biological lineage is similar to solitary predators..." I do want to improve the clarity, but I think I'm starting to get too pedantic. If you feel that the "Description" section is already implied to be in-universe, then I suspect we can simplify this a lot. What's the simplest way to present their biological evolution as an in-universe fact?

non-commercial license. And when the project was finally made available, they published the licensing info that I linked above. The creators also made their stance clear in public that (direct quote) "our policy has been to let people do whatever they want, as long as they don’t turn our characters into mass murderers or make money with it." I didn't upload the image but it looks like the CC licensing information in the image is correct.

presented to the player as part of the world/story. Apologies for taking a while with this review, and thank you for your patience. The article looks to be in very good shape right now, but I want to read through it one more time to see if I have missed anything so I will post anything further by tomorrow. I hope you had a great weekend!
1300:"Legend seems to be exhausted in the middle. The game lacks the Threat: in the second game, everything bad happened over time, and in the end, the kohr-ahs killed everyone else if the player just sat on their thumb. Now is (apparently) all the time in the world, and when the enemy just sits at home, it does shake the motivation." 1322:
I think if there isn't meaningful expansion potential, then the problem is probably in the phrasing. It's difficult to describe exactly, but it's somewhat choppy, especially the final sentence. The second source does seem to offer the opportunity for a somewhat broader statement than currently given,

I just want to make sure I understand the explanation above re: the lead image. The design elements present in this image are indistinguishable from the original game? How would this avoid copyright issues - did the authorization to produce the game include license to release the graphics as CC? (The

weight on fictional details. But I tried to really clarify some of the plot details, splitting the "Description" section into a "Background" and "Appearances" subsection. I believe this should help distinguish between the characters' backstory, and the events of the game, with context as to what the

Thank for addressing my comments. I will resume my review sometime tomorrow. I agree that it is best to brief with background context, and you have added the right to me (at least from my perspective). I have just one quick comment below, and just for clarity, my review will primarily focus on the
303:
I used the re-written "Description" section to improve the lead, along with some of your other suggestions. I added Alt Text for the images. As an aside, the open source version is maintained by fans, but it's officially authorized by the developers as a faithful reproduction. The image avoids any
1710:
Reading it again, I can see how it's overstated. I re-wrote it so it's clear that the character inspired other similar concepts in those games (the reapers, the battle thralls, the slave shield), rather than making it sound like the entire games were inspired by one character. Hope that's clearer
464:
Thank you for the clarification about this. Since the game presents it as an "accepted fact", then the current wording should be fine. I was more uncertain if this was an observation made by a specific character or group, but the current wording is a better representation of how it is just a fact
361:
Is this comparison made in the game itself? If so, then I would attribute who makes the comparison, and if not, I would move it down to the "Concept and creation" section and attribute who makes this comparison. I look at the "Description" section as being entirely in-universe so that is why I am
1013:
Surprised this doesn't seem to have been raised, but there seems to be an overuse of quotes in the Reception section. While some quotes are understandable and necessary, having a quote in every sentence is clunky to read. Perhaps take a third of the quotes and paraphrase, and that would make the
919:. When the open source version was created, the original authors released the contents of the game under appropriate public licenses, with the code released under the GNU, and the images and music released under CC. I hope that answers the question and let me know if we need to do anything else. 600:
indeed says "the Ur-Quan are rightfully ranked among gaming’s greatest villains" in the context of their own praise. So I went with a more direct quote about the rankings, even though it's a tricky trade-off. I'm not crazy about excessive quotes, but they help readers to see what reviewers have
447:
The only edit I'm struggling with is the part about their biological evolution, which is presented in the game as an accepted fact. My original phrasing was "Their biological origins are similar to solitary predators..." and I based on your feedback I changed it to "Their biological lineage is

333:, in the lead. I do not think it is grammatically correct as the beginning phrase is tied to the noun of the next phrase so it reads like you are saying journalists having this menacing and threatening persona, which is obviously not the intention so I would reword this part to avoid this. 957:
It means their involvement has been extensive, yeah. It was their idea to release the game as open source. They worked with the open source community to do it, so it's a combination of the original creators and the wider community. They licensed the code and content on a free, perpetual
891:
So if the images from the original game have been released CC, why not include images from the original game? And if the images from the original game have not been released CC, how could the images from the fan game which are visually indistinguishable have been licensed in that way?
1670:
The review is greatly appreciated. I think I was able to address all the comments, without overriding some of the concerns from previous reviewers. I'm trying not to get too pedantic while still making it clear that their history is fictional. Let me know if there's anything else.

Thank you for the kind words. It is important to remember that we are all volunteers here. I do have a tendency to forget that and it is important to know how to manage time on here. I have not gotten to re-read the article again today, but it is on my list for tomorrow.

and reads like it was written for a reader already familiar with the game. Since I never heard of these games, I was honestly somewhat lost with the story. I will look through the rest of the article once the above comments are addressed. Have a great rest of your week!
1477:
The Ur-Quan are a fictional race of predatory alien caterpillars from the Star Control video game series - something here is off. Is it "from" the Star Control series? Or, do they appear in the series. I feel a better word for from is required. Best Wishes,
1178:
Thanks for the input. I addressed all your comments. Only exception was the image, which I chose as the one that most resembled the character design in the game. The refs should be properly formatted, and the phrasing fixed, with fewer superfluous links.
233:, who are naturally limited in their social behaviors. Is this mantis comparison made in the context of the game? If not, then I would move it down to the "Concept and creation" part as this section seems to be more focused on their roles in the game. 910:
I'm not sure I understand the question. In the early 2000s, the copyright holders / creators of the original game officially authorized an open source version, and even participated in its creation, so it's not quite accurate to call it a fan game.
1254:
Kurt Kalata approved of the game for adding the Ur-Quan to the player's alliance, but lamented their otherwise minimal role. Game magazine Pelit made a similar criticism, that the third game was left lacking a threat as memorable as the Ur-Quan

Went with most of your suggestions. Took out a few quotes – this came up in the GA review and I fixed it a bunch, but I took out a couple more for good measure. Thanks for the review and hopefully it's on its way to FA quality.

Having looked through the article, I don't see any major issues. The image problems are likely to be tackled above, many of the prose issues were corrected above, and the sources seem solid. A few points caught my attention;

The only outstanding bit I have is that the lede says that the Ur-Quan helped design the games for Stelaris and Mass Effect. I think that's a bit too generous. Star Fox did this, rather than these characters. Best Wishes,

I am not entirely sure "Background" is the best name for the section as it seems to more so focus on the characters' roles in the game. Something like "Appearances" would seem more accurate to the section's content to

Eager to wrap this one up and work on more featured articles. That said, I am also patient with this process. The article now has the support of multiple reviewers, including a source and image review. I count 6 or 7

Doing my best to stay on topic and hit the real point, as this article is really about the Ur-Quan, and not about Star Control 3's new antagonist. Once we can find a suitable wording, I can re-add it to the article.

Thanks again. I tried to incorporate all your suggestions. It's a thin line between a filler word and a transition, so I tried to vary the transitions to maintain the flow. I've also tried to be accurate:

Thanks for the suggestions, especially when I introduced a new grammatical error that makes it sound like the journalists have a menacing persona. SMH. Things should be more clear and less repetitive now.

The "Reception" section as a whole seems rather inconsistent with critics' names. Sometimes they are said in the prose while other times they are not. I would be consistent with one approach or another.

This is super minor and admittedly quite nitpick-y, but I would change one of those two instance to avoid repetition as it was something that caught my eye while reading this section. 683:"Red Bull also highlighted the importance of the Ur-Quan in creating the classic game world of Star Control II." - Unsure why the opinion of an energy drink manufacturer would really be 690: 1257:
These wordings are somewhat odd. I particularly wonder if the latter source offers any opportunity to expand here, rather than just give us a rather abrupt and choppy sentence.
1308:
They really are brief mentions for a character demoted to a minor role. There isn't much to expand on, but I'm open to a rephrase if it would make some part of it more clear.
939:
What exactly is meant by the term "authorized"? Does it encompass release of intellectual rights, or no? Or was their participation to the extent to make that a moot point?

Hopefully that covers the sources. I was pretty careful and focused more on quality than quantity. Thanks for the spot check too, and let me know if you see anything else.
