- 1) The phrase on Wikipedia has not been changed for many months; it's unlikely to change soon. In any case, your editing of that sentence was grammatically unsound. 2) The context of providing links to HLP forums makes it clear who the people are. I concede your modifications to add User: to the links though. 3) I reverted your addition of the bold marks, yet again. You're confusing the use/mention distinction here. We are talking about the identity of the Nebula System, not the article "identity of the Nebula System". Also, we are linking to the Nebula System article, not overlapping the two articles "Nebula System" and "Identity of the Nebula System".
