You have new messages (last change).

A massive chunk of this page was copied from this website [1]. I reverted to an older version.

You reverted too much. You deleted some things that I wrote myself without even referring to Keleka's site. Some things from that site were copied, yes (by others and not me), but I have an email from the site's maintainer saying that texts can be used. Although the sections that were copied verbatim were not entirely appropriate for the article. Still, some of the removed text would have to be restored. Solver 16:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I restored it. Now stop cutting out my contributions. Simon Beavis 7 February 2006

Would you maybe consider rewriting the "Why Mulder?" section a bit. In my opinion, some of the phrasing is a bit inappropriate for article style. Solver 18:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Original reverter here. I realize that reverting the page deletes some of the more recent edits, but I was following the policies outlined here[2]. I restored it to the last version before all the copied material was added. If you want to preserve your own changes, you should add them again to this version. Note: copyrights are held by the original author, not the website's current maintainer. If you really want to use that fan page's text verbatim, you will need to track down this person and get them to email Wikipedia about it.


Surely C.G.B. Spender is just an alias? Lee M 10:29, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Actually, his real name is Crow Gibson Bill Spender. It was mentioned in an interview over the discussion of real-time alien technology and was possible that this is a fan-fiction name. Anyway, this does seem to be a plausible name, consideing that his name does correspond to the little more than conincidental connection between him and Bill Mulder. Other than that, this is all pure speculation into an alias of the CSM guy that happens to be the key in this magnificient series.

C.G.B. Spender is the closest thing to his real name - of course it's not a full name since CGB can hardly count as full. However, nothing more full than C.G.B. Spender was ever seen in canon - whatever else there might have been is purely fanfiction. Solver 19:57, 14 August 2005 (UTC)


Agreed. Mr.Fouchon 20:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] New quotes section

I have taken the liberty of setting up a new CSM quotes section in the article. Please feel free to improve it and contribute to it. I trust that its place is here and not in a Wikiquote article. If anyone disagrees, please advise.

The quotes section is now quite large. i think they should be moved to wikiquote, like the mulder article. Cthulhu spawn 20:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canon

This part seems like speculation at best, there is nothing to indicate that "musings.." wasnt canon. If no one complains I will remove it. - "This episode presents a relatively sympathetic, sad portrait of the character, although it is arguable if the info presented is canon."
