On the Physics page:

"Some say Felarya is in fact shaped as a flat 42 faced polygon..."

1.) Polyhedrons have faces. Polygons have sides. That is not the exact rule, but I think you understand my meaning.

2.) Polygons are two dimensional. The adjective "flat" is redundant.

Replaced "polygon" with "polyhedron". Thanks.

I hope that this will not bother you. Polyhedrons are not flat because they are three dimensional. The original person intended the sentence to mean that the world is thought by some to be a forty-two sided polygon. Although, this brings up something else concerning the shape of the world that could help narrow down the possibilities to make the article more informative. I'm not sure whether I should discuss it in this corrections section or if I should make a new thread for it. What is permissible?

Fixed; also I split off the resulting conversation on what names we call the (, ), {, }, [, and ] symbols in to this thread.

Quote :
Cryok

Size: 50 to 80 feet
Threat: Low

Cryoks are mostly found in rocky volcanic areas. This centipede-like creature is notable, less for the fact that it measures up to eighty feet in length, than for its adaptations for such a hot, steamy environment, namely its subzero body temperatures.

This,http://www.felarya.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fauna5#Cryok, should say 50-80 feet LONG. XD Unless it's as a tall as it is long and in which case that need to be mentioned.

I don't know about that; see definition 1a or 1b from this dictionary. Why do you think that saying it is (paraphrasing here) "about 80 feet from nose to tail" is an incorrect usage?

"...the urge the sun themselves..." > "...the urge to sun themselves..."

"They love to thread for jewelry and accessories..." > should that be "trade for jewelry"?

First row of of the second paragraph is incorrectly phrased.

"Delurah is a melting pot of several cultures that can hardly stand each others" Should be ---> "Delurah is a melting pot of several cultures what can hardly stand each other" Or if the meaning is plural it should have a apostrophe "other's" = belonging to.

The Wiki wrote:
it has an ovular yellow-orangish shape with a peel and soft insides

"Ovular" refers to being like a part of the female reproductive organ. I believe the word meant here was "ovoid" which basically means 'egg-shaped'.

In the mass-produced artifacts, there's "unexperimented", which I don't think is even a word, instead of "inexperienced".

"This belief was shattered however, when their homeworld was destroyed in a terrible war and their culture was very nearly wiped out."

I believe "very" is an extra word. "their culture was nearly wiped out."

No, "very nearly" is idiomatically correct. (At least, it's commonly used in British English.)

yeah 'Very' is to add extra emphasis and in this case it gives an added sense of urgancy.

Because "Nearly wiped out" could easily just mean down to the last several thousands or so (given a large size of empire army like the Vishmitals, thousands would be small numbers.)

But 'Very nearly wiped' out makes it more like they were down to the last few hundreds or something, just one good attack would have wiped them all out. Makes the phrase sound more desperate without using alot of words.
