[edit] Citations and references

I've added some citations and references to this article, beginning with Forrest J Ackerman's World of Science Fiction and recasting the Wright article as a proper reference instead of an external link. (Incidentally, Wright was formerly referred to as "Laner" [sic] in the article, but according to the Library of Congress database, his name is "Wright, Bruce Lanier".) Since much of this article seems to be based on Wright's essay, this is just a start. I've also not done anything about the requested citations. (I really only found my way to this article when adding the Ackerman citation to Amazing Stories, and wasn't planning on another full article fix-up.) However, for those who aren't familiar with the new Wikiquote:Footnotes system, the citations I've added should help with the markup, and the {{Cite book}}, {{Cite web}}), and other relevant templates have usage notes on their talk pages. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:31, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

This article is in serious need of further detail on Shaver's writings. It's a little jarring how "Teros" (the benevolent counterpart to the Deros, I think) are suddenly mentioned with no explication.
