‎Opening sequence

Gen. Quon Season 11 Episode 7 (Rm9sbG93ZXJz) opening sequence:

I believe you. What I'm referring to is a citation that backs up this statement. This page is a good article, meaning that, among other things, everything has been cited with an inline source. You'll notice that in "Opening sequence", every mention of a unique tagline is backed up with a footnote. Please add one of these in before you add additional taglines.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:11, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

But if a tagline isn't mentioned in books or sites? Source are episodes themselves. The final book you have mentioned in footnotes was published in 2001. There is no source. Only episodes themselves. This kind of information almost always haven't soirce except tv series itself. Lado85 (talk) 14:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Not necessarily. The last citation is from Indiewire. Additionally, you can use the episode itself, but you need to use the cite episode template.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:05, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Books

When I was young I read some X-Files books. I could not find them mentioned here anywhere. One of these books, for example, was Ruins by Kevin J. Anderson. According to the Misplaced Pages entry, it even made the New York Times Best Seller list and was voted the "Best Science Fiction Novel of 1996". Apparently, there was a whole book series. This article however only mentions the comic books. --JPGoelz (talk) 08:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

They do see mention at The X-Files literature, but unfortunately there isn't much material out there to expand the article in any real way, from what I've seen. GRAPPLE 19:46, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

For right now, I've added a link here.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:33, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
