Purported?

Wake up sheeple, they're real! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.239.116 (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Which picture?

This article's too short for two pictures, but it begs the question, which picture should we keep? Serendious 14:31, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

The color image of the reptilian seems to show it better and in more detail, and I don't think there's really a need for a naked human in an article about lizard people. So I vote for the color image.Lullabee05 (talk) 03:57, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

It is interesting to see the size comparison between the alien and the human, I didn't know that the reptilians were that much larger than us. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.1.152 (talk) 23:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I say the color one, as the other has the reptilian assuming a human pose, which is unlikely to be possible for an alien.

Now why, why, WHY am I giving the conspiracy wingnuts hints? -RadicalOne••_{Chase My Tail} 01:05, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

is it any different than helping people figure out what picture of jesus to use? It's just a theory. Even theories have a place on wikipedia, as long as they contain a "criticisms" section. 64.119.57.59 (talk) 07:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Sources

Is it just me, or are sources 4 and 7 the same thing? The same article on the same day on the same site. Or is there a difference I'm missing somewhere? 75.202.82.135 (talk) 02:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Good point. Serendious 07:23, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Badly worded?

"Icke's theories now have supporters in 47 countries on Earth, as well as in Pluto, Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Eris, and various extrasolar planets." He has supporters on other planets? has this page been vandalized, or am I misreading this? 75.172.107.94 (talk) 19:49, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. Heavy vandalism today. Thanks for spotting it. Serendious 20:43, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Obvious Disinformation

I deleted reference to a "Hollow Earth", which is not contained in the attached link 7, nor in any of David Icke's presentations or books. This is an obvious attempt to discredit Icke. Ironic that Wiki has not simply deleted this page as Wiki has become an extension of the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, et. al. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychicattorney (talk) 17:57, 18 September 2011 (UTC) (talk) 17:51, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok.... Serendious 18:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hollow earth was mentioned in "The Biggest Secret" by David Icke — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.33.234.200 (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Reptilians or Wing Nuts among us?

I doubt the presence of Reptilians amongst us but I dont' doubt the presence of delusional Wing Nuts, desperate for their Warholian 15 minutes of fame.

Why is it that all aliens are evil? Why are they all shape shifters? Why do most alien abductions occur to English speaking people? One would think that statistically speaking, Asians would be far more likely given the population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.76.1.62 (talk) 13:20, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Should be expanded

This article should be expanded to include Reptilians in Science fiction and speculative fiction, as well as things like the "Dinosauroid". Currently it's only about UFOs and Conspiracy theories, but they didn't originate the concept of humanoid reptiles. --Hibernian (talk) 03:25, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

That's what List of reptilian humanoids is for. Serendious 08:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Why does Chitauri redirect here?

I see nothing in the article which suggests a one-to-one relationship between Reptilians and Chitauri. And certainly nothing referenced. I'll wait a few days and separate them again. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 13:44, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

You can do it right now as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea why it was linked here in the first place. I kept it because I assumed whoever did it had their reasons. Serendious 14:10, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I was hoping you knew how to do it; I'd hate to ham-fist my way through it and break the Misplaced Pages. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:15, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Where do you want it to go? Serendious 16:39, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Let's just delete it. There isn't enough info for Chitauri, and reptilians have enough to stand on their own. Add to that no citation connecting the two, and the decision seems pretty clear. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:31, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Seriously, was it that easy?? Lol - Jack Sebastian (talk) 23:03, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Pseudoscience

I think it's a big mistake not to say anything about what scientists think on this subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.105.87.14 (talk) 03:47, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Scientists don't think on this subject... Ericlord (talk) 12:57, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

The wonder

What if, What if i cant help saying what if, This scares me i happen to think there real and i believe they cold easy pass us by on the street and we would never know it. There are some people you see and walk pass that leave you with that feeling, that feeling that surrounds you like nothing else in the world i believe that its our natural instant to react to it but we can see why. The thought lingers in my mind what if they are real how could we face theme how many are there, are we out numbered all ready. The question is one that needs to be asked, if they are real and they are eating us or use us to rise to the top how do we stop theme.

So i leave you with this when you pass a crowd of people and you feel like you just saw a ghost many you will think on it, What if. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Son of Aunbis (talk • contribs) 12:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Reptilians → Reptilian (conspiracy theory) – I'm not sure this fringe theory is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I suspect a reader searching for "reptilians" may more likely be searching for something else on the dab page Reptilian, especially reptiles themselves, or the List of reptilian humanoids, if the plural form is deliberate. I'm proposing a singular form per WP:PLURAL, but I'm flexible on this, as well as the particular disambiguator. BDD (talk) 01:11, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

• Move to "Reptilian humanoid", as in List of reptilian humanoids. The article also includes mentions of reptilian humanoids in fiction, which would not be encompassed by the "(conspiracy theory)" qualifier.--Xiaphias (talk) 02:40, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

The fictional references are not random mentions; they are an attempted explanation for the belief in the supposed existence of these things. "Reptilan humanoid" is too general. Serendious 07:06, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

• Rename to something. This should redirect to Reptilian disambiguation page with haste. Reptilian humanoid alien visitor might do, since not everything here is conspiracy theory, some of it is just plain alien abduction. This makes clear this isn't about evolved dinosaurs found in science fiction (which aren't aliens) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 06:09, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
• If "reptilians" is too confusing (personally I don't think it is; I've never heard the term "reptilians" used to describe anything but these creatures- people looking for "reptilian" will type that in or "reptiles") then the more specific "Reptoids" would be OK with me. Serendious 06:32, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
• I was surprised, but I went through several pages of the 10,000 Google Books results, and few if any of the hits appeared to be about anything else. And this isn't just fringe books, but also scholarship discussing fringery, which is plentiful: This appears to be the common name of the subject, and though it's hard to tease out, it appears the term (in plural) refers most commonly to these conspiracy monsters. I could see moving to the the singular (with disambuation) per WP:PLURAL but I don't think its pressing.--Cúchullain /c 16:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
