Apparently, this page was stolen off The X-Files Wiki; wikipedia should write their own articles! --2.24.248.121 (talk) 11:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

X files Wiki is licensed under CC-BY-SA license, so it is fully acceptable to use it's texts in Wikipedia, under the condition of citing the source. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:04, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is never 'fully acceptable' to use sources which fail WP:RS. And where exactly is it stated that this article was copied from another Wiki? 86.147.197.65 (talk) 19:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the benefit of anyone questioning which came first, the Internet Archive has a cached copy of the X-Files Wiki article from November 2006, which pre-dates this article. Unquestionably a copy-paste. [1] 86.147.197.65 (talk) 19:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article really necessary?

I'm not convinced that a regular reader (one who is not a fan of the show) would really be interested in the List of X-Files section. It just seems trivial to me. I'm a fan of the show, but even I don't care about a list of fictional cases and case numbers. Once you remove that, all you're left with is a history of the X files, written primarily in an in-universe tone, which almost gives off the impression that the X files are actually real. Now, if that information were rewritten (and presumably shortened as a result of being rewritten), then wouldn't it work better as a section, perhaps at the The X-Files (franchise) page? What I'm saying is that basically, most of the useful information in this article would likely make a suitable section to a parent article. I'm not sure that it's notable enough to warrant being its own article, though. 2602:306:80E5:6970:98DD:B854:7E0B:18F5 (talk) 19:23, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fancruft, copied against WP:RS policy, and as far as I can see without attribution, from another wiki. So no, not necessary. 86.147.197.65 (talk) 19:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

X files... incorrect information

The first x file opened in 1946, was first mention in season 1 episode 20, "Shapes". 2600:1700:BB90:FC30:3003:112E:C31F:8BC1 (talk) 03:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
