It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. In the case of Draft:Star Trek: Infinite Space, the content was published under a non-commercial CC license which is incompatible with Wikipedia's reuse terms, so it is not legally acceptable to post a copy of it to Wikipedia.

The whole star trek commercial games section is taken from other websites, I was merely filling the gap on the one game that had no wiki entry.
 * Yes, unfortunately a large proportion of editing about such games is done by teenage children who have no concern at all for copyright, and often they post copyright-infringing text. It will be very helpful if you can remove examples of the kind of illegal copying that you refer to, and warn the editors responsible to stop.
