Image:The Lone Gunmen logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I revised this earlier the first time I saw it. The header currently reads "9/11 Foreshadowing" and then continues "Foreshadowing the September 11th attacks..." and then describes a plot involving flying remote controlled jet liners into the towers. This however does not foreshadow 9/11, although it does foreshadow a number of 9/11 conspiracy theories, which is why I originally changed the title to "9/11 Conspiracy Theory Foreshadowing," as that is more accurate. I'm reverting back to the title that I changed it to earlier, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

Who is he ? Is is not mentioned in the opening para, put appears as a regular character later. -- Beardo ( talk) 03:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I notice that the entire section regarding the 911 parallel has been removed and the frame I uploaded from the pilot episode has been deleted. In this episode a jet liner is hijacked by a faction within the United States government and the protagonist's actions foil a plot to fly it into the World Trade Center. The frame in question depicts a plane flying into the World Trade Center (computer generated but realistic looking) dramatizing the events taking place inside the plane as the protagonists disable a malevolent autopilot system installed by the aforementioned faction. Supposedly this was a fair use violation, although I can't see how it would be as it was a single screen shot from a television program and we already have the TV show's logo (which is far less noteworthy) one here even though that's copyrighted as well.
I highly encourage all of you to watch this episode to see for yourselves what I am talking about. I'd also like to see this section re-added to the article and screenshot brought back. Frankly I think the removal is nothing more than vandalism. However, I am not going to waste any more of my time here as it's clear Wikipedia is just far too corrupt. - Chimro ( talk) 21:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
I may be mistaken, but weren't Stephen Snedden and Zuleikha Robinson series regulars/credited as starring along with the actors playing the Lone Gunmen in the opening credits? If so, shouldn't they be in the "starring" field? -- 71.150.248.191 ( talk) 17:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
As there's only a single season of The Lone Gunmen, and a table is already created at List of The Lone Gunmen episodes, why not bring that table into this page instead of the static list shown now? I added a link, but it seems natural (to me) to combine these pages into one. Eezip ( talk) 16:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

The pilot show aired on March 4th, 2001. not March 90th, which is not a real date. Please, someone change it.

I recently noticed what has been happening to this article which is basically a complete white wash. I have decided to improve the article with more references and interviews of the show produces and cast. The article should focus around the show being about government conspiracy and not what the X-files was, that is why the ratings were so popular. They were basing it on actual true conspiracy theories and its kind of central to the show and should be this article as well. 72.72.240.141 ( talk) 02:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
What? That does not make any sense at all. First of all, I certainly did not present the information in a biased manner, I was about as unbiased as I could be. I simply stated, Fox hosted this website for the fake company, blah blah blah, just like on every other Wikipedia article. The information is also very notable as I said, if one does a google search, you get a ton of results, not to mention it was notable enough for Alex Jones/Infowars and every yutube video to mention the Octium chip. https://www.google.com/#q=lone+gunmen+octium
Secondly, all of the google references are mostly unreliable, which makes the primary sources the best sources of information, but that still shows its notable, there just isnt secondary sources. So what do you do in a case like that? I guess blank the sections, and remove the only information anybody even cares about. If people want some back story on the show they want to come here and find the information like that, they want back story on the show, and most of that was back story on pretty much the series whole first season. Especially the reference for where the character says why the show is named what it is! If you can't reference in episode material for that, that is just ridiculous I guess people will have to look elsewhere other than Wikipedia to find actual useful information like that, especially for something as important as where and why the show has its name! 72.72.240.141 ( talk) 00:12, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
After a little digging to provide references to the Octium IV processor and the fictional computer company, I actually found the original sites hosted by Fox Entertainment. The information is getting to be rather large and I am wondering if we should create a whole new article for it? 72.72.240.141 ( talk) 19:22, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
In the episode list, Episode 12's original air date is listed as June 1, 2001 whereas Episode 13's is listed as May 11, 2001. This would imply that episode 13 aired before Episode 12. I'm assuming this is a mistake, perhaps whoever wrote it meant June 11, instead of May 11? It is not unusual. Episode count usually refers to the order of production which may differ from the order aired.
This Episode list is not consistent with info on the Website sourced. link Cite error: There are <ref>

TV Tango lists the Episode titled "All About Yves" as being the 12th in the series (original airdate 05/11/2001) and the Episode titled "Cap'n Toby" as being the 13th in the series (original airdate 06/01/2001)... it seems like the Wikipedia page is incorrect. Can someone please confirm the true data and correct the Wikipedia list of Episodes?
