This page is filled with grammatical problems and poor sentence constructions. For example, this sentence... |
|
Incredibly, if you look at the images used in the articles for the TV series and both movies (, , ), a hyphen has never been a part of the title of the franchise. Despite this, the use of the hyphen by nearly all media and discussion of the franchise might give it a ] arguement, despite the fact that it is actually inaccurate. Or does it? What do we do when the truth butts heads with the common name convention? -- ] (]) 03:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
* I agree with you, I have long wondered where this hyphen came from. It's possible that "The X-Files" was used on press releases and other material sent out by the creators, and that they have made a stylistic choice not to include it in the logos used on the series, films and other spinoffs like the novels, comic book and The Secrets of The X Files. I personally prefer to not use the hyphen but this is an opinion that's very much in the minority. ] (]) 10:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC) |
|
|
** The hyphen doesn't make sense. The 'X' isn't a prefix of 'Files'. These files are filed under 'X'. If the show was called ''The Enigma Files'', or something, there'd be no hyphen confusion. The title of the article should be changed. ] (]) 21:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC) |

"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." |

* This comment is correct - . See also from a little earlier in the film. I'm of the opinion that while I personally am not a fan of the hyphen in the title, it's almost universally recognised as being part of it even by those who made it. Like it or not, the hyphen on the article title should remain. ] (]) 08:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC) |

...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--> |

:'''Away with the hyphen''', says I. This coming from a diehard for absolute accuracy when it comes to titles, to the point where I consider misspelt song names 'the whole truth and nothing but the truth', and thus not bound by WP's conventions. The main series states ''"The X Files"'', right? Then that's what it should be. ] (]) 13:26, 19 September 2014 (UTC) |

Without capitalization, ], ], and ] all redirect correctly. ] does not, although ] does. That said, i agree with Wetdogmeat that the hyphen doesn't make sense, but like Speednik said, if the makers include the hyphen, so should we. (As for the lack of a hyphen in the logo, you don't want to change the name to ], do you? ;-) no more than ] should be ] or ] should have a backwards R.) --] (]) 23:55, 9 December 2014 (UTC) |

*That is not true. There are articles such as ], ] (which is what actually inspired me to write this), we have many stand alone articles on notable topics, plus there are entire books and websites covering this topic. I have The X-Files book of the unexplained with me right now that I borrowed from the library. There are plenty of books covering the subject. At the same time I find stand-alone topics like ] questionable. This is true for many wiki-articles that I've seen while notable stand-alone topics are proposed for merging. So to re-state my argument, it definitely deserves a page especially given that it has plenty of sources and on ideas for the franchise. Now what else can we do to expand and improve it?--] (]) 01:44, 31 January 2015 (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 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. |

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) |

It's a major spoiler presented without warning to people who may be reading about the show for the first time. Seems unwise.

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) |
