Er, this entry has a bit of out of place Star Trek jargon: "Terran" for things from earth, etc. Use regular English.:) - unsigned User Talk:172.175.240.94
The Xindi commit a terroristic act. Is this just an accident or a tastelessness? - unsigned User Talk:217.232.250.111
Why is the Xindi included as part of the Temporal Cold War? They're part of an invasion from another dimension. That's a big difference, unless you're going to count everyone who can time travel as part of the temporal cold war. 132.205.15.43 01:55, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Many aspects of the Xindi were seemingly taken from the Dominion, ie one race being worshipped as gods, the various species that work together and even the fact that the Sphere Builders look like the Founders! -- Tough Little Ship 20:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Battle", the Stargazer is to be towed to a Xindi starbase. This article talks about them solely in the Enterprise timeline. What other references to them are there in the various series? Hackwrench 20:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
there are no other references
opening paragraph says 5 subspecies but 6 are listed in body - what's that about? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trcunning (talk • contribs) 21:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
There are, as of the date of ENT, five extant subspecies, the sixth having gone extinct in recent times
Added the quote by Kessick about the 5 different species... should be mostly correct. One of my favorite lines about the Xindi and I couldn't find it anywhere!

Does it say in the series anywhere that the Xindi-Avians had no spaceships? How'd they get to this other world then? Or was the Xindi Council held at what was left of their destroyed world?
In the Xindi-Primates section, it mentions they were one of the first to be told about the human threat. I thought it was done at council before all of them. Does it say anywhere in the series they were the first?
I removed some inaccurate information about the Xindi-reptiles. [1] They had a weapon captured in one episode, and it didn't explode when opened and examined, but only when they tried to fire it. All sides have an equal vote, they not having any political dominance. They did later do what the guardians told them to, with the promise that they'd be put in charge of all Xindi.

This edit by Jabberjawjapan is ridiculous and should be reverted. "Humans" is spelled with a lower-case h. Placing "Humans" always in capitals is incorrect. Star Trek articles have no special exemption from the normal rules of grammar, and trying to grant them one is frankly disruptive, a nice example of the kind of thing that gives Wikipedia a bad reputation. If Human (Star Trek) also places "Humans" in capitals, that only shows that it also needs to be changed. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 09:47, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Some comments:
Here are some examples as possible models of usage:
I think the last two of these link to the issue - when is the in-universe concept of non-Earth alien races/species using the word "Humans" as a collective demonym for all human beings possible. Science fiction challenges people's perspectives of the world and often offers new concepts/perspectives that may not fit standard conventions. As you mention in your initial comment, "Placing "Humans" always in capitals is incorrect.", and I agree — so it seems we just need to identify how the alien term "Humans" can be used in order to best express to the reader this specific science-fiction concept.

Thank you for your detailed response. As I mentioned earlier, I believe that this discussion is best had on the other page, and I am uncomfortable having my comments copymoved from there to here against my wishes. Therefore, in order to expedite discussions to where I believe it should correctly be, I have performed the following actions to help close this discussion here:

Response to third opinion request: |
I agree with FreeKnowledgeCreator; the word "humans" is, even in the Star Trek universe, not a proper noun, so it does not need to be capitalized. (SN: Jabberjawjapan, FKC is also right about the discussion staying here because if you start the same discussion in different venues, it looks like forum shopping.)
