[edit] Cleanup of article
Well, since no-one has really made any major effort to clean this article up, I'll be working on it over the next few weeks. I've started by restructuring the article for an encyclopedic approach to the topic rather than an in-universe perspective. This means development and cultural impact sections. Now, I don't own Raising the Bar, but I'm hoping it might contain some key information on the development of the Vortigaunt. If that is true, I'd appreciate it if someone could help include that in the character design section, or at least give me the jist of it here. Please note that the old version of the article exists in a very similar state already on Combine OverWiki, consequently that has been added to the external links. Lastly, Uriah's gone. He does not belong in this article. What really needs to be done is the creation of a Characters of Half-Life article, where he and all the other characters who do not exhibit independent notability (which is most of them) can be put for the benefit of collective notability. The practice is not abnormal and is the best way to approach the subject, spinning out character articles if enough independent notability can be given - see Characters of Final Fantasy VIII, Characters of StarCraft, Characters of Halo, Characters of Kingdom Hearts to name a few of the FA and GA articles on similar subjects. -- Sabre (talk) 11:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Native to Xen?
This article claims that Vortigaunts are native to Xen but is there proof of that? Just beacuse they're first off-world encounter was on Xen doesn't mean that it's their homeworld. I mean they are on earth now too, even though it's not their home! Same goes for antlions, there are plenty of antlions on earth now, yet none of them were sighten on Xen and a Vortigaunt in EP2 claimed that Vortigaunts mended to the Antlions on their homeworld.
So, the suggestion that they might be native to Xen is specualtion and should be replaced!--Denmon0728 (talk) 10:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Its a fairly logical assumption that Xen is their homeworld due to the fact that's where they're seen to teleport from in HL1. I've yet to see anything that suggests otherwise. However, I've removed the occurances where Xen is explictly stated to be their homeworld, as it can still be taken as speculation. -- Sabre (talk) 15:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
