- adding Nymmmn-description as per freeorion#3207

- degendering the Raaagh-description (he -> it/they)
- typo corrections in existing texts
- beautifications of species-descriptions-tooltips / pedia-pages:
        -- less wrapped lines -> easier readable in game start screen
        -- added a neutral symbol o to preexisting positive + and negative -
        -- added nonprintable ∘ character to facilitate search/replace for o∘
- applied patch from freeorion#2304
--> more elaborate noob-greetings (with minor typo and style adjustments)
- make pedia page 'Building Types' a little less redundant by removing species' colonies
--> see also freeorion#3579

+You may be as surprised as we are, but you have just been elected Emperor of our new-founded empire. You certainly can't wait to command our fleet of spaceships, to direct our research, and to govern our worlds... Oh well, admittedly our one and only world so far, but that's likely among the things you came here to change, isn't it?

 [[GREETINGS_GUIDE_REFERENCE]]
 
 FreeOrion is a free, open source, turn-based space empire and galactic conquest (4X) computer game being designed and built by the FreeOrion project. FreeOrion is inspired by the tradition of the Master of Orion games, but is not a clone or remake of that series or any other game.

+'''So, you are our new Emperor?  Welcome, it is about time you showed up!
+
+We heard about three urgent problems that we need your help with.
+
+1. All our starships are currently idle, orbiting our home world. In the [[encyclopedia MAP_WINDOW_ARTICLE_TITLE]] right in front of you, you can see our star map, with our home system highlighted in the center, and if you look closely, you may even be able to see the ships next to it - a bit up and to the right. Yes, you are right, a handful of ships looks tiny on a star map. Anyway, your captains are unsure what the ships should do and they ask for your commands. Please have a brief look at our instructions for [[encyclopedia FLEET_MOVEMENT_ARTICLE_TITLE]], decide where each ship should go, then come back here to address the second area we need help with.
+
+2. Industry on our home planet has come to a grinding halt because people have no idea what to manufacture next, and they ask for your advice.  Please click on the red cogwheel in the title bar, schedule one or more entries from the list of "Producible Items" for construction by double-clicking on them, then come back here by clicking the red cogwheel again and the purple question mark in the top right corner. Later on, you may want to study our description of the [[encyclopedia PRODUCTION_WINDOW_ARTICLE_TITLE]] to efficiently supervise the industry on your planets.
 
-[[DETAILED_PEDIA_REFERENCE]]
-Important sections include [[encyclopedia CATEGORY_GAME_CONCEPTS]], [[encyclopedia CATEGORY_GUIDES]], and the [[encyclopedia ENC_METER_TYPE]] list.
+3. Our researchers are eager for new knowledge, but they are unsure which topics they should focus on, and they ask for your priorities. Please click on the blue Erlenmeyer flask in the title bar and select one or more research topics by double-clicking them, then click the blue flask again (or hit the Escape key) to come back here for final instructions. You may want to start with a topic from the left column - or you may inadvertently trigger elaborate research programs that take long times to complete...
+
+So you've finally made your decisions about all three areas – fleet movement, production, and research? Excellent, now everybody knows what to do for some time without constantly requiring your input. Now you can click the "Turn" button in the upper left corner to confirm and send out the orders you just wrote down. And then, you can relax, your work is done for this rotation... The Empire Intelligence Agency will contact you again, telling you about the results of your orders and about new events that require your attention, by sending you new sets of situation reports.  Whenever new reports arrive, it is time for you to review and possibly amend your orders.

+'''Description:
+Their ancestral desert world's environment posseses an extremely unlikely combination of fractally recurring storm patterns in the upper ionosphere, paired with constant static electrical discharges produced by solar tides from its neighbouring star system, which enabled the early development of self-replicating electromagnetic wavelets. These wavelets are comparable to the ancient precursors of single celled organisms and continued to evolve into more and more complex wafers over the eons. Since they can only exist in a quite narrow spectral band, there was never much room for the analogue of biodiversity – every more advanced developmental stage totally consumed its predecessors in order to be able to exist at all.
+
+Social Structure:
+Today's nymnmnian society is mainly preoccupied with reviewing and rating, archiving and cataloguing old tv shows and other entertainment broadcasts from foreign civilizations. They can not do otherwise, because those broadcasts touch the very essence of their beings – all their life is a non-stop binge-watching marathon if they want to or not. In consequence, they are the absolute masters of movie mockery in all the galaxies.

Little care or attention is paid to the young at this stage - they must survive on their own competing against their siblings for hiding places and stealing food like vermin. After three years usually only one is left, and the surviving young begin to learn to speak. This suddenly activates parental instincts, and the survivor is carefully raised as a member of the Pride.

 Personality:
 Extreme territoriality is the Raaagh's most distinctive trait, woven throughout their daily lives and culture. Related to that is a preference for the familiar and known. Curiosity is minimal, which probably explains their stone age technology.
@@ -8663,7 +8682,7 @@ Homeworld:
 The Raaagh homeworld is of the Terran type. Sea and land are more or less evenly spread out, with the largest continent covering only 4% of planet's surface. The many small continents and large islands encourage a territorial attitude.
 
 Reason for Staying:
-There's not bit of land big enough for an individual Raaagh to live on that hasn't been fought over for centuries. The genetic compulsion of a Raaagh is to guard his territory with his life, and when possible to expand into adjacent land. Abandoning one's territory is inconceivable, and a Raaagh forcibly removed from his territory goes violently insane.
