the entry for Hourglass doesn't include a link to the article for New Root
http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/49022a2c0c9be

It seems to be common that links aren't provided for the second and subsequent mentions of many of the repeated entries. I think every mention of a given location should be a link, so that it's obvious when an appropriate EG article doesn't exist.

the catalog name of its star (nu2 lup) is missing.

(I found it by a grep of the EG Celestia addons.)

Punctuation inconsistency: some entries for New Root have an infixed space and some don't.
Typo on the page http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/466e0f4fb75a8

I think "Teleological Tendency ubverted the Genetron vec-factory" is supposed to be "Teleological Tendency subverted the Genetron vec-factory"

the entries for Argelander (no links) should link to http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/45f9757b533b6

the entry for the unnamed wormhole from Anomie to Mu Cassiopiae
says "From Chi Draconis it connects to Xil"

I think that entry should say "From Mu Cassiopiae it connects to Xil"

Actually, it is official OAUP editorial policy to only link from the first mention of any particular thing that we are linking to in an article. This is intended to avoid making a reader repeatedly follow multiple links to the same article over and over, which is seen as likely to be annoying and a waste of the readers time. The structure of the EG is based on the reader's convenience, not the editors or contributing authors.

I've fixed the issue of the missing catalog name, but I'm not sure what you mean by an 'infixed space'. Do you mean that some entries list it as 'New Root' and others as 'NewRoot'?

Thanks!
