- Comment: Student project, but should be passable. I (the course instructor) will be around and will try to fix the issues if any are raised here (since the students will inevitably disappear in few days as the course finishes). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

@Piotrus: In general, this article is new enough, long enough and neutral, the hook is interesting and the hook facts are cited inline. However, as shown by this Earwig screen, some of the chapter paragraphs in the "Structure" section, and the "Ferengi" paragraph are too close to their sources.

- @Cwmhiraeth: Thanks, I c/e the replicator paragraph, is it better now? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Piotrus: Thanks. The chapter 3 paragraph is fine now, but the chapter 5 one is not. You can see the identical text highlighted in pink if you click on the Earwig link I gave above. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Cwmhiraeth: Ah, somehow I missed it. I did further c/e, I hope the issue if fixed now. The link keeps pointing to the old version, I have trouble using Earwig's tool. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:49, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
Should be all right now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:33, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
