[edit] Additions from White Dwarf

User Jesse Mulkey has pasted in (and beautifully formatted) large sections of White Dwarf. Even with accreditation, surely this is straight copyright violation? See the Copyright FAQ. We would need to extract the key points and rewrite them. Removing for now - the content can be still accessed from page history. --Air 12:52, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unencyclopedic?

Anonymous user 151.204.6.44 has twice added this tag to the article. I'm reverting again as this article seems perfectly justified. Note the many other articles in the category Warhammer 40,000 species - why are these articles not under similar attack? --Air 12:52, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ovipositor

A line in this article implied that the Alien jaw-within-a-jaw was an ovipostitor; that is incorrect. The ovipositor was the egglaying apparatus attached to the Alien queen's posterior. God, I'm a nerd. :) Fernando Rizo 00:53, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Absolutely right. --Air 05:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
