The summary list has the primary source for the race in question, but the full
article should have the complete list of references.
As the lead editor of the Traveller wiki, I'm always interested in finding what
bits of data people find missing from one or another list of articles.
I have a private list of known "canon" races including sources. I've done a
comparison and know the wiki is missing the races from Gateway to Destiny (the
T20 book) and many of the Mongoose books. If you (or anyone) knows of other
references missing a pointer would be awesome.
