Talk:Interocitor

message: I've seen various spellings for this all over the net, and spent some time thinking about how the word may have been arrived at.
I would surmise that the writers came up with their various inscrutible technobabble by messing around with various terms of electronic jargon prevalent at the time.  It seems reasonable to assume that the word was born as a mashing together of the terms "integrator" and "oscillator".  Hence, absent an authoritative reference from an original copy of the script, I propose a more correct spelling to be "Interoscitor" (adding an 's' before the 'c').

thread_title: Other Appearances

message: Hello! Hmm. Is this device a one of a kind machine on Earth, or not? It it is the only one of it's kind on Planet Earth, then should it not be spelled with a capital letter "I" all the time, rather than just when the writer feels like it? Because it's the primitive Earthling version of something that would be higher tech on the alien world, so it would be unique, rather than a copy of something plentiful on another world. Then again it has been so long since I've seen it, that after reading all of this material in this article, I'm doubting my own memories. I remember "correcting" it the last time I was here, only to see that someone else undid what I did. So I came to this page to see why. Then I see that no one seems to agree on the spelling!

thread_title: usage

message: So, I've just noticed that my addition about 13_Sentinels:_Aegis_Rim were also promptly deleted from here by User:MrOllie, one of the users who made it their personal missionTalk:13_Sentinels:_Aegis_Rim#Gatekeeping_articles_for_"purity"_%3FTalk:Apocalyptic_and_post-apocalyptic_fiction#Encyclopedic_style_is_not_allowed_on_encyclopedia,_as_do_any_useful_additions,_apparently. Beforehand, User:Sciencefish put "+Citation needed" tag on it even though no such "citations" seems to be needed for any other entry in that list. Well, here's the damn citation straight from the writer & director: "A 1955 American science fiction movie about two scientists being recruited to help defend an alien planet. The movie begins with one of the scientists receiving the instructions and parts to build a device called an “interocitor”, and by completing it he proves to the aliens that he is worthy of recruitment. Though no obvious influences from the film are immediately apparent, Kamitani has said that the “innerocitor” nanomachines in 13 Sentinels are named after the interocitor device."https://www.frontlinejp.net/2020/09/18/the-movies-novels-manga-and-anime-that-inspired-13-sentinels/. Previously they used some kind of faux justifications but this is straight-up vandalism here due, to what I can only assume, irritation with being called out for using Wikipedia as a personal ego-booster via feeling of authority ("the porter syndrome", as it was known in Soviet Union and in Russian wiki now https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Синдром_вахтёра) with no attempt to uphold its purpose of providing relevant information on subjects.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DamnedFoX (talk • contribs) 08:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added more citations needed for this section. Note that just because an entry doesn't have a citation doesn't mean that you should perpetuate that. All entries should have citations WP:CITE. Likewise have a look at how to insert a citation correctly: WP:CITEWEB and you can use  from the toolbar. Sciencefish (talk) 10:27, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
