[edit]

In the Songs section of the Arts and Entertainment section of the page, "The Alien" by Dream Theater is incorrectly listed as "The Aliens" so the title of the song needs to be fixed to display the correct name of "The Alien" instead Burritoshark (talk) 00:23, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

An informal request, as I edited the page to appear as such (making the top sentence "An alien is commonly defined as a being of extraterrestrial life, or life which does not originate from Earth.", but this was reverted. I believe this should be as the top link instead of buried down near the bottom of the links, because it is the article that is closest to the common definition of alien. If this was not what the user was looking for, they will be free to look through the disambiguation list to find the correct article. ALittleClass (talk) 23:12, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at numerous dictionaries, extraterrestrial life is not the primary definition, and usually listed fourth, with Cambridge being the only to list as primary. A google search with the Alien franchise removed, shows foreign or not–from–this–place definitions and links, well before otherworld life.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 22:59, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
