Sales Figures in "Reception"

I removed the one-million sold sentence from the "Reception" section because it stated at 2.5 weeks, one million worldwide were sold, while the very next sentence said at three weeks, two million were sold. Not likely sales doubled between 2.5 and 3 weeks. Both had references, but the first reference is now broken, while the second reference did still work, so I picked the second sentence. If the first sentence was mis-quoted and still has a valid source that has moved, please correct my changes and its reference [56] - (url=http://www.ea.com/read/20080924-sporemillion.xml |title=Spore Begins With a Big Bang!

Is it possible to add Sporpedia composer to main composer section at top of wiki

Hi, My name is Saul Stokes. I composed the music for the Sporepedia section of the game. I have not been given proper credit over the years for my contribution to the game. Most people believe Brian Eno is the composer for the Sporepedia section but this is simply not the truth. I worked with Kent Jolly who was the music director at the time. The Sporepedia music was actually composed before Eno or Martinez were involved. I also have the entire song from which only a portion was used. Given this info and the fact that the Sporepedia section of the game is the most memorable music from the game (search Sporepedia on Youtube and read the never ending viewer responses) I believe my name should be listed along side Eno and Martinez. I can offer validation through email history of my involvement in this game. Saulstokes1234 (talk) 03:50, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
