	Alright, the discussion seems to have stalled, and nothing is being done about the spoiler. I think [[User:KalypsoSig\|KalypsoSig's]] ideas on creating a page for Michelle are sound. I have removed the spoiler detail on the [[Michelle]] disambig page. What should be done is this: create a page for [[Michelle (IV)]] the girlfriend, on which '''only''' information about dating her while she's undercover should be present. Then, on [[Karen\|this page]], we can keep the appropriate details about her being an undercover agent, and should add a spoiler tag. The question is: do we link [[Michelle (IV)]] with this page, vice-versa, or both? I say we only link the [[Michelle (IV)]] page with this page, which will hopefully eliminate accidental blowing of Karen's cover for someone who still only knows her as Michelle. Thoughts?

			:I agree that we need to be sensitive to readers, but at the moment it is IMPOSSIBLE to link Michelle to Karen - anyone that wants to know the link can only do so if they know Michelle's name and go directly to that. Imagine doing research on girlfriends in GTA IV, and not being able to find out that Michelle exists, never mind any information about her. We definitely need a link to [[Karen]] from the [[Michelle Stone]] page, but it must be carefully worded.<br>A couple of days ago I added: ''Later in the game, you are introduced to [[Karen]] (page contains spoilers)'' - that is quite a sensitive link, and it doesn't reveal what the link between the two is. But if you know the secret, then it is obvious that that is where to read more about it. And if you want to know the secret, you can click on that to find it out. And if you don't want to know the secret, it doesn't give anything away - it hints at a connection to someone called Karen, nothing more.<br>I don't think you should go round undoing these edits without discussing it, especially on (evidently) such a sensitive topic. Can we make a decision on this? [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers\|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers\|talk]]</sup> 03:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
