I just popped over to wikipedia to see if the Darkspace page had been updated to show the new release had come out and see what details of the game it would show.
The page has been vastly downsized! Most of the images of ships are no longer there. The faction descriptions and fictional-historical details are completely gone. The factions are described in short, one line sentences. There used to be a LOT more information on the DarkSpace wikipedia page than there is now.
Did someone edit the page down? Who and why?

All things considered, it was for the better. It looks cleaner and far, far more approachable now by new readers, who may be directed to the Darkspace website proper for further details.

DS wiki page was no longer up to Wikipedia standards..
There was some fuss that most of it was either inaccurate information or not from 3rd party's.
Just before that, the wiki group was having a fuss about company's entering there own information to help there own purposes. So they came out that 3rd party information would be best.
That guy or a other i don't recall. we had a little chat discussion and he found that the information was being posted from a DarkSpace publicity perspective.
In the end i just dropped out of the discussion.
But i did recall he wanted more information in there about the game, but not from staff or players but from reviews.....
