This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the The X-Files article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
This page is filled with grammatical problems and poor sentence constructions. For example, this sentence...
"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."
...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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.184.74.7 (talk) 12:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

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)
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.
