	:Never start a sentence with 'because' :). I partially agree with a blanket spoiler warning, however there are a number of problems. Does this mean that every page is free to contain as big a spoiler as it wants with no warning? If so, I will not read any of Grand Theft Wiki until I have completed [[Grand Theft Auto IV\|GTA IV]]. We can't force people to make the choice between either reading massive spoilers or not reading the site at all.		:Never start a sentence with 'because' :).

	:What would be more realistic is that all pages allow minor spoilers (eg the point of a mission) or things that everyone knows (eg CJ eventually returning to [[Los Santos]]). Those are things you either know (because you've played the game) or don't care about (because you haven't played the game). However bigger spoilers detailing big twists in the storyline (eg Big Smoke being bad) should probably still need a warning be protected with a spoiler tag. Spoilers for old games (say..

	::Your concerns are definitely valid; however, I feel that if we keep "bigger" spoilers on the mission pages, that should be sufficient.

	::I like the way you've worded it.
