Something like that should be fine. Readers seem to like that we have quality warnings where appropriate.

Whoa, when did you sell out?
Is this the same David Gerard that not only spearheaded the drive but even personally removed spoiler warnings...
There is a big difference between a quality warning and a spoiler warning.
You want us to be in the business of telling people when precisely they should be on guard (and by the omission be lulled into not thinking critically) for the article not being all that can be said about a subject. Where the heck are all those warnings in the EB Micropaedia articles?
Suddenly we're not allowed to improve upon EB?
"The readers like.." Eh? Since when is "The readers like..." a valid argument for anything. And no, don't tell me. I know full well when it was, and it won't serve anyone to rehash it.
Ok, change "like" to "get something out of". The point still stands.
