I can reveal how my eidetic memory recalled the references for the Asgardians article. First I checked that one existing reference to an external site and found from its sources one reference to handbooks, then I checked appearances category and found more. I checked the handbooks which I had and added the ones which I felt were appropriate. What I mean that it's not about the memory.

As you've noticed we have a dire need of editors who can write well-structured, grammarly correct and interesting articles. That's a common problem with wikis because many times good writers tend to value their artistic freedom so much that they can't comply to the policies of wiki environment and the need of encyclopedic writing. When many editors with varied writing skills and styles write the article in small bits, more often that not, article would really benefit from a proper copy editing which is an art by itself. I think that it's a shame because I value a good writing very much, although I tend to struggle with it myself on a non-native language.

Read the first post of this thread to learn how we want to reference our articles. Please remember to use Template:R because it also makes links to the referenced page. Also keep in mind the common footnote citation style and put those always after the punctuation without an space (with the exception to the rule for footnotes preceding dash).

I think that you were right at moving main text of Earth-X to an own page but it could be against our policies. We have a discussion going on admin board about just these kind of situations. I'll use that page as an example where we should allow own pages for races of alternative realities.
