[edit] baby William
The article says, "Mulder is the father (possibly by in vitro fertilisation) of Scully's son William." Can someone cite a reference to the show to support this claim? --Memenen 9 July 2005 11:07 (UTC)
- This may be referring to the flashbacks presented in the season 8 episode Per Manum, which introduces Zeus Genetics and Scullys doctor. She was attempting to undergo some sort of fertility treatment in the time frame of those flashbacks (which would have been around season 5) but it also seemed to suggest her efforts were a failure.

A recurring theme in the eighth season of "The X-Files" is Scully's uncertainty regarding the identify of her baby's father. (Her greatest fear is that he will be an alien-human hybrid.) In "Per Manum" we learn that she asked Mulder to be her sperm donor. After hesitating, he agreed, saying "I wouldn't want this to come between us", but the result was negative. Enthusiasts of the Mulder-Scully romance (called "shippers" in fan circles)often use the last line of that episode as a springboard for their favorite fantasy: As the agents embrace, Mulder says, "Never give up on a miracle." Scully worries all through her pregnancy that her baby will be normal and 100% human. When William comes out with ten fingers and toes in the season finale, he seems perfect. Scully voices her doubts to Mulder only after the boy is born. Mulder says to Scully as he holds William, "The truth we both know," sealing it with a very tender, unpartnerlike kiss on Scully's lips. Mulder status as William's father is inferred by the diologue and emphasized by the body language of the actors. What's never made clear is whether the pair had consummated their physical relationship to achieve Scully's pregnancy or whether the original test issued a false negative.
[edit] Education
It is not possible to graduate 'summa cum laude' from Oxford University, as British universities in general, and Oxford in particular, do not assign grades in this manner. Did he perhaps graduate with a 'First Class Degree'?
[edit] big cleanup edits
I'm doing some major cleanup on this page - taking out unnecessary info, organizing it better, referencing things that should be referenced. I'm not finished (currently have only done "Personality" and "Trivia" sections), but let me know if you disagree with any of my cuts. I just think in general this (and most of the other X-Files character pages) have veered from "useful encyclopedia article" - something helpful to both newcomers and fans - to "dumping page for arcane and oblique facts". Not to mention a lot of it was incorrect or misleading.
I also plan to make more consistent headings - a "Family and Relationships" section that will include parts of the current "Family and early life" section, as well as summaries of his relationships with friends and women - which were scattered all around in other places.

Hi I just watched an episode today "Travellers" Season 5 and its set in 1990 and shows Fox wearing a wedding ring - do you have any background on him being married ?
[edit] Am I Mulder?
Strangely, I was born on October 18, 1961, am 170 pounds and about 6 feet tall, and graduated from Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (where all Chilmark children attended high school).
I graduated in the top ten percent of my class (only 125 kids in the class of 1979), and I don't remember seeing him. Maybe I'm Mulder... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Actiscenei (talk • contribs) 16:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC).
- Nope because Mulder was born on October 13, 1961. Marikology 19:28, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
