Haitian theory

Please, keep informations like the one you added out of theory pages, information like that is considered spoiler, and thus should be kept and discussed only in spoiler pages. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:17, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

You added a confirmed spoiler information to the theory section of the spoiler page. That section is for theories which are based on spoiler informations. Add an entry with a link for the interview containing spoilers in the spoiler section of the spoiler page. You won't have to, cause someone else added it a while ago.

Spoilers

Anything not aired is a spoiler. Doesn't matter if it has been said if the actor is scheduled. Not everyone watches previews, or reads upcoming plans for Heroes making those things spoilers.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:06, 17 November 2009 (EST)

Then what is the point of the discussion page? Not everyone knows to click that link, either, from the Main wiki home page. On this discussion page for Joseph Sullivan, there are discussion about things that have not aired. BTW, most people editing heroes wiki pages "watches previews, or reads upcoming plans for Heroes."

• Some don't. I don't usually. And the discussion is for peoples ideas, not to post spoilers. So if they want to know spoilers they will follow the link that says, see here for spoilers.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:18, 17 November 2009 (EST)
  • Interesting. Where can I find the source of your info regarding discussion pages, as I currently cannot find this as a help item?
    • I don't think there is exactly a page that says to not post spoilers on discussion pages. It's just something that you learn over time on the wiki. If you do not believe me, you can ask any other user, or even an administrator, if this is true or not. They will tell you the same.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:29, 17 November 2009 (EST)
      • Here's where discussion pages get tricky, then. What is being discussed is, I believe, speculation. On the Help:Style page it mentions theories, fan creations, and spoilers very clearly as speculation. This was why I objected to my post being edited. I have no problem with edits, I just think that there needs to be a more uniform method of posting that, right now, is definitely not being adhered to. I'm not mad or trying to start a fight, just looking for some consistency. Thanks so much for your quick responses! Empath1974 03:34, 17 November 2009 (PDT)
