Hi all, I'd been doing some translations on that said manual, and I'm perplexed about the source of its content, because some of the unit/structure description can be found on the RotR Moddb profile page alongside the respective image, while some others contradicts or cannot even be found elsewhere. So I wonder who wrote those descriptions, and what are the authenticity of them.

Id say look at the History pages? The FS is a wiki thats editable by anyone with an account. When it was created, anyone with an account could edit them, so this question is like ''who is the source of wikipedia??"
Sometimes editors were lazy and just copied the moddb page (which contains the description given at the updates, so you could call it official), some other times a new description was made by whoever felt like it. --------------------  |

I see...so a lot of those are likely made up by whoever felt like it...hmmm.
Couldn't find reference of any sorts, though. |

...and it's not like Wikipedia itself needing citations and sources and references every other line

Its all fictional stuff, there simply are no references except for moddb, but what is the use of referencing a unit description to the moddb page it originates on, which says exactly the same thing? If you want a reference to who wrote stuff, look at the History and compare versions
