== Editing Desperately Necessary == |

== Omission in article - Opening sequence. == |

This page is filled with grammatical problems and poor sentence constructions. For example, this sentence... |
|
I am not experienced with Misplaced Pages, and as such I do not want to edit the article directly, but there is an omission in the article. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Tired of the comedies he had been working on for Walt Disney Pictures, a report that 3.7 million Americans may have been abducted by aliens, the Watergate scandal and the 1970s horror series Kolchak: The Night Stalker, triggered the idea for The X-Files. He wrote the pilot episode in 1992." |
|
In s5, ep14 "The red and the black", the tagline at the end of the opening credits is "Resist or Serve" in place of the usual "The truth is out there" this is not mentioned on the section within "Opening sequence". Anyone with the box-set can verify this, and for reference, it is on disc 4 of series 5, and aired, I think, sometime around March of '98. If somebody experienced with editing would care to verify this, and amend the article accordingly, it would be appreciated. I do have a screen capture, but am not sure how to upload it, nor if it allowed because of copyright issues. |

...has a bizarrely misplaced modifier, causing the sentence to grammatical say that the alien report, the Watergate scandal and Kolchak were all tired of Disney comedies, not Chris Carter. As a result, that sentence makes NO sense whatsoever. It would be good if a competent, coherent writer with a strong grasp of grammar were to give his whole page a thorough editing. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 12:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

It's a major spoiler presented without warning to people who may be reading about the show for the first time. Seems unwise. I'm going to remove it, if anyone has any good reasons why it should stay please say so. <small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:44, 4 July 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

I wanted to see what people thought about including commentary about the show from a recent '']'' ? Chris Carter, Bob Greenblatt, Danielle Gelber,Gary Newman, Sandy Grushow, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are all quoted in the article discussing the success of the series "on eve of a six-episode reunion series." Would it be worth adding some of their commentary onto to this page? ] ] 19:49, 9 January 2016 (UTC) |

== The Event Series Query. == |

This article is currently making use of four non-free pieces of media, and to me it seems that only one of them (the sound file) can really stand up as meeting ]. The intertitle used in the infobox is wholly redundant to the free ], while the images pulled from the title sequences are not in any way discussed critically or used to identify the work (there ''is'' discussion of the title sequence of the show but it does not offer commentary on the character portrait shots which are currently being used). My take on this would be to cut the title sequence images out entirely, replace the infobox intertitle with the aforementioned free alternative, and leave the sound file as is; does anyone have any meaningful rebuttal to this approach? ] ] 23:30, 4 February 2016 (UTC) |

:That season nine sequence pic should go. Don't know when it got there. I'd be fine with the intertitle being phased out in favor of the free pic. Personally, I think the image of the title sequence is useful, but that's just me.--<font face="Arial Black">] ]</font> 01:52, 5 February 2016 (UTC) |

:Personally, I'd like the infobox image should stay. ''The X-Files'' title card is quite iconic and using the title card in the infobox is pretty standard for TV series articles. Same for the original opening credits image as it is discussed in the article. The removal of the season 9 one is fine as it's pretty redundant. ] (]) 20:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC) |

Does anyone have any conflicting opinions on Series 10 being more accurately referred to as "The Event Series" in an edit as described in physical media release, as Series 10 was released as a comic-book series and was canon at the time; although both The Event Series and Series 11 ret-con or contradict some aspects of the comics, (such as the status of The Lone Gunmen). ] (]) 08:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC) |

In the episode ] the story is told through the eyes of each agent and their stories dont agree proving that what we are seeing is not necessarily the truth. Perhaps all of the episodes are being told through the eyes of Mulder or Scully and are not necessarily the truth. See ]. ] (]) 00:02, 4 August 2020 (UTC) |

Hi, my name is Charlie, and I'm currently a student at College of DuPage. For my English class, I was given the assignment of editing a page on Misplaced Pages. Early last week I added a segment discussing standalone episodes throughout the X-Files series, and yesterday found that it had been taken down. I feel that my edit retained at least some significance as it further explained the character development of the show. I would just like some insight as to where I went wrong, and what I can do to improve my edit. |

:I assume you mean ? The reason it was reverted is two fold: 1) it was not sourced, and 2) it is redundant, considering that MOTWs are discussed on the page ] (mot to mention ]). The sourcing is the biggest issue, especially the assertion that the MOTWs were crafted so as to feature the growth of specific characters.--<font face="Arial Black">] ]</font> 04:42, 3 May 2016 (UTC) |
