Faction right to lie on Wiki

[cshake]

cshake: Again, could care less. It's easy to do; just keep it consistent. The distance off the plane was sitting right there next to the coordinates in the infobox. There's not one other article where that's been done.

You're right. You can see that the last time I edited the page I removed that from the infobox, as it really doesn't belong there. I can see no reason for the info to be right there, but as for the spoiler box I can go either way. I don't want to see the info in plain sight (in the infobox), but I'm really on the fence about removing the spoiler box.
I'm just a moderator on the wiki, I'll make changes in line with public opinion. For now I locked the page because this has come up before and I didn't want to see another edit war start.

Just for context - this is basically the only wiki page that has been specifically contested so much with this amount of emotion from both sides.


And for the "omg you guise all have to post?!?", I'm posting because it's Blodo and me that keep the wiki running and have to deal with this stuff. I'm bringing up 'arguments' because I can see both sides of the issue and wanted to put my thoughts in, but I'm not gonna override the majority just because I have the power.


Raisu:
Umm, you're taking things out of context. The 'spoiler' box in question is in the section labeled "Location". The box for "Unknown Object" that you're talking about is in the "Bribes Offered" section. Of course it's not gonna give you the location. When I added bribes to every base I intentionally added a spoiler block even if there weren't any, just to make it consistent, so you'll see that one on every inhabited base or planet.

I see that Alex has since added the locations for Atum and Unknown Object, which seems to be a hasty move considering that there is still discussion going on here about revealing this info...
