- Again, welcome, and the reason I suggested reworking the grey alien article in draft (or sandbox) space is that any manual of style or policy-related errors might be reverted by passing editors if you worked on the article directly. Not a bad thing, but it can sometimes make for a mess of confusing edits and counter edits. Also, working in draft space would give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the subtleties of WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:FRINGE and other policies that come into play with articles such as this one. Misplaced Pages editing is kind of a team effort with WP:CONSENSUS as a goal, so don't be put off by unsolicited corrections, additions, or fixes made by other editors to your work. Disagreements can usually be solved by Talk page discussion. Feel free to ask me any questions, I may not get to them ASAP but I'll do my best to answer.

- I wouldn’t worry too much about changes being made to the page while you’re working on a draft, it’s not a very active article. Unfortunately there are many, many articles on Misplaced Pages that contain errors. Volunteer editors work in their spare time to make improvements. Most do not react with outrage when they discover WP:OR, they either fix it, post a comment on the article Talk page, or at an appropriate notice board. The exception to this is WP:BLP articles, and that’s not what we are dealing with here. Since Misplaced Pages is not a service or a corporation, you won’t get anywhere by demanding Misplaced Pages (or me) take immediate action to remedy what you feel is an intolerable situation. - LuckyLouie (talk) 22:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
