Category confusion
There is a lot of mis-categorized pages right now, But sapient species are intelligent, non-sapient are animals, and beings are distinct entities that do not represent a species (think galactus) ralok (talk) 16:34, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

SPECIES, species is the proper category for SPECIES. I was made an admin basically to deal with the issue of category confusion. A BEING is an independent creature, that is not part of a species. . . GALACTUS is a sapient being, Yog-Sothoth is a sapient being. . . these are alien beings independent and not part of a species. Their abilities and biology isolating them. Currently a loooooooot of species are in the beings category, it is incorrect and we are currently trying to correct the problem. Use the species category when you create pages okay :I ralok (talk) 18:53, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Reptiles
Although this is not intuitive, and I understand your insistence in including pages of reptilian aliens in "Category:Reptiles", I need to warn you that this is wrong. Reptiles are Earth creatures; the nomenclature (as used by modern biology) implies common ancestry, and even in the Linnaean usage it still requires a number of physical characters which we have no idea whether these fictional species share or not. In short, you can't say an extraterrestrial being is a "reptile" or "mammal" or "insect", regardless of how common this is in fiction. Feel absolutely free to use Category:Reptilianoid Species, which is for creatures that look like reptiles, but please stop using "Category:Reptiles" which I have deleted for being inaccurate and unappropriated for a wiki about extraterrestrials. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 18:13, November 25, 2012 (UTC)
