message: Is it possible for someone to lock this article? I've seen that block take effect on another article, can't remember which one. But the point is whenever I come to this article, both the article and discussion is usually vandalised/ill-used by people who don't have accounts. So I highly recommend this.

message: I hope nobody minds that I did just a little reformatting on the first section. Most of the page looks so good, but the first section was a little messier. Following the guidelines on the WP disambiguation pages, I trimmed to one link per entry, put it at the beginning of the entry, reduced descriptions, and took off the closing punctuation. --AnnaFrance (talk) 00:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I KNOW that Aliens should probably redirect to Aliens (film).  I will post this on the talk page for the other article as well in order to see all opinions. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 02:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there are too many things associated with the term "Alien", and we cannot guarantee that the average reader typing in "Aliens" isn't looking for the "real thing" (just in pluralized form), and not the film. There wouldn't be a point to redirecting "Aliens" to the film page, you might as well rename the article altogether.   BIGNOLE   (Contact me) 02:21, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is fine as it is. Anyone looking for the film can find it almost instantly on this page, anyone looking for something else could, potentially, get confused. Not the ideal outcome for disambiguation. As it stands aliens film does redirect there which will catch most people searching for the film. (Emperor (talk) 00:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that we should not do a redirect. I have been fixing the pages that link to this dab page and can verify the point that at least as many wikilinks are looking for something other than the film series. --AnnaFrance (talk) 14:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aliens redirect 

message: I just removed 3 entries whose only relevant link was red. In case anyone disagrees with any part of this, here are the removed entries:

* Aliens (album), the album by Irish celtic rock band Horslips.

message: I did this because Extraterrestrial life in popular culture is just a redirect to Fictional extraterrestrials. Also, it didn't seem to belong in the Science and Engineering section, so I moved it to Film and Television. 
If I have made a mistake with any of this, just change it back. --AnnaFrance (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The word Alien, in a scientific definition, means Life on another celestial body, Therefore “Aliens” do exist. However the common definition (non scientific) is a humanoid being on another planet. There is no proof of “Aliens” if that is your definition, although they probably do exist because the universe is ever expanding; and there is so much we haven’t explored. I believe aliens do exist because we have proof that there is plant life on celestial bodies in our and other solar systems. Doctor Michael Mississippi (talk) 22:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

message: There is a dance crew called ALiEN, based in South Korea, who have several (literally world) renowned choreography sequences and are quite frequently consulted and hired to produce choreography ranging from AAA american artists to kpop and jpop idol groups.
ALiEN - Destroy the System - this song should be added to the list of songs, they have other songs also - but I have only recently discovered them myself and was searching for their wikipedia page so as to better understand them (surprise, they don't have one because this is protected and most people don't want to bother going through the hassle of changing something like this.)
You can find all their pages quite easily.
ALiEN seem to be quite small with their online presence (their youtube channel having less than a million subscribers), but they are /huge/ in the global dance scene and they themselves are covered quite often by smaller dance crews abroad. If you talk to someone in a dance crew, if they haven't heard of ALiEN before, the crew is probably not a very good one.
They definitely deserve a place on wikipedia, even if just for their musical works. It's bothered me for a long time that wikipedia seems to be elitist and often neglects smaller artists and in some cases outright deleting their artist pages (every time they get made) until someone arbitrarily decides they've gained enough fame or fandom to warrant a page. Wikipedia is supposed to be a library of all human knowledge, if I search for something I should be able to find it- isn't that the whole point? Why would you not allow a group to have a place? Evidently people are searching for them or I wouldn't be here typing this nor would I have made an account.
