Please. The value and spirit of the encyclopedia comes before the community every time.

Ok, just to carry on your thinking, how do you feel about the following "silly labels":
* This article is a stub - you can help out by editing it. * Please expand and improve this section as described on this article's talk page or at Requests for expansion, then remove this message * The neutrality of this article is disputed.Please see the discussion on the talk page. * This article needs more context around or a better explanation of technical details to make it more accessible to general readers and technical readers outside the specialty, without removing technical details. See below for more information. * The title of this article should be eBay. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions. * Due to technical limitations, some web browsers may not display some special characters in this article.
I have to admit to a sense of irony that we warn users of excessively technical language, and we warn them if the title of the page isn't quite right. We even warn them that the article uses unicode characters. But we refuse to warn them that they may witness seriously obscene material or have their enjoyment of a work of fiction totally spoilt.
Ho hum.
