I've updated the page with the and/or element that you've suggested.

Thanks!

The Samelians have been in contact for 9000 standard years according their article. That seems strange for sure.

The article as written states:

[b]Altogether, this process of identification, observation, analysis, and translation has spanned 9.486 Terragen Standard Years (as of the date of this report) and is still ongoing.[/b]

It took me a couple of times reading it, but I finally realized (with the help of the Zoom function on my computer) that the dot is a period, not a comma and the article is saying that contact has spanned 9.486 (nine point four eight six)years, rather than 9,486 (nine thousand, four hundred and eighty-six) years.

It might be a good idea to tweak this to say something like '...has spanned nearly 10 Terragen Standard Years (9.486 years as of the date of this report) and is still ongoing.'

("Both" means two items, not three)


The article also does not mention the population levels of the various types of mondosophonts or transapients. Might that information have been accidentally deleted from the section "Territory and Population"?
