Does anyone understand the beginning of this episode? Is it taking place back in the 50s possibly after WW2 but before mulders time? It seems like CSM is pretending to be mulder, but he is much much younger. So young, mulder was probably a child. His dad wasn't the seeker of exposing the truth that his son became... Can anyone make sense of this? Tainted42 09:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

The person who was asking the questions was Mulder's father, the person on the far left, who lights up, is CSM. He wasn't pretending to be Mulder, he was just the only one to speak. Don't know who the middle guy was, possibly Deep Throat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.125.71 (talk) 04:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Apocrypha 3x16.jpg

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Again, "The episode is one of those which helped to explore the series' overarching mythology." I feel this is kind of a clunky why to write this, maybe say "The episode helps to explore and expand the series' overarching mythology."

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   LEAD, no summary or mention of production

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   Just before the lead plot summary, maybe add, "In this episode..." I think it helps to separate fact from fiction

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   Infobox, maybe cite where you found all the guests stars at the very bottom, maybe after "Tegan Moss as Young Dana Scully" Is there a way to put a cite after the words "Guest stars"?

   Done. Also culled a few names off the bottom, the list looked far too long and crufty at a second glance. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   All good

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neural POV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   No edit warring

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   One picture, properly tagged. Are there any other free pictures to spice up the production section, it's kind of boring right now?

   The only relevant one I could think of was the one of Spotnitz and Carter together, since they co-wrote the episode. Tried looked for an example of the magnetic fluid they rejected as a black oil prop, but it's definitely not a ferrofluid and there's nothing else I could see about magnetic fluids. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

   Alrighty, I like the look. I pass! The magnetic fluid would've been cool, but oh well. :P--Gen. Quon (talk) 15:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
