I'll review this on August 20, 2012, since I'm on vacation up until then. Sorry for the wait. TBrandley 13:52, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

• Lede: Link science fiction

• The X-Files and success: $2 million, US million?
• Accolades: Align references to the center
• References: Ref. 50, small text is not needed. MOS:ACCESS.
• External links: Categories should be listed in alphabetical order

Wow; great article. Not many issues at all. On hold. TBrandley 17:16, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review. Hope the holidays went well. I've addressed pretty much anything; the point about dollars being US dollars I left as the first mention of the currency already contains a link to United States dollar. Everything else I believe I've seen to. GRAPPLE X 17:52, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks! Holidays were great. :) This article looks good. One more concern is that every section should be mentioned in the lead, as per WP:LEDE. Then, I'll pass. Cheers, TBrandley 17:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
    • Wasn't sure what wasn't already reflected so I expanded out a few sentences which I thought could do with better coverage. GRAPPLE X 18:20, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
      • Okay; great. I will for sure pass this. TBrandley 02:14, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Removal of the link to Chris Carter's interview with/at Archive of American Television.

Hi. In what way is this link not appropriate? It is an interview with the subject of this article. I am not in any way affiliated with the subject or with the website. There are other WP articles with links to the same website, at which the subject is interviewed. (The AAT.) Clarification and/or justification please. 203.86.206.206 (talk) 22:26, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

After reviewing Wikipedia policies for external links, I have reverted my edit and restored the link to the article. --GSK ● talk ● evidence 01:48, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

At some point I'll probably have a look at it and see about using it as a source, it certainly looks reliable. If it's used as a source it'll be removed from the external links as they're not meant to be duplicative, but until such time it looks like a good addition. GRAPPLE X 17:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

date of birth

I found this issue when I looked at his Wikidata entry which had two dates of birth. One came from here and the other one from VIAF. Further investigation shows IMDB also has a different year than enwp and so does dewp. Here are a few more links with differing dates:

• http://viaf.org/viaf/14907138/#Carter,_Chris,_1957-....
• http://x-files.wikia.com/wiki/Chris_Carter
• http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/chris-carter/144476
• http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Carter,_Chris/

Anyone who can bring some light into this and correct either Wikidata+dewp or enwp? --LydiaPintscher (talk) 14:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

When writing this article, I used a few books with profiles of Carter which were published during the early years of The X-Files; several of these are either "official" publications or involved interviews with Carter and other staff on the series, and they uniformly agree on 1957. I'm unfamiliar with viaf.org, but the other sites listed above are either user-edited or simply mirror content from user edited sites; none of them would pass the bar of WP:RS. As I would see it, a mistake has been made somewhere along the line and has been copied in turn by sites which mirror the information rather than researching it. GRAPPLE X 14:46, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Hmm you're probably right. Will change the other stuff in a few days if no-one else speaks up. --LydiaPintscher (talk) 21:18, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

what about PARENTS' NAMES? that is usually standard in articles like this. and given that his mother's maiden name was supposedly **MULDER**, i find it significant. 209.172.23.70 (talk) 07:29, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

California Birth Index has 13 Oct 1956 as date of birth [1]. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 19:35, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Wikiquote Entry

I really hate to sound picky … 

But it turns out Chris Carter has a Wikiquote entry … !

Now, I’ll admit to having no idea how to add it to the bottom of his Wikipedia entry: could someone do the honours, please?

I know I’d find it useful … !
