Hahaha. Please don't panic. I know some of the editors are currently tense about the wiki's well-being, but the situation isn't as horrendous as it may seem. Everything will definitely be resolved and shortly. Anyway, back to http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Forgotten_Quarter_Expeditions?diff=next&oldid=66238

What Spacemarine9 originally wrote was vague and fine in itself: ''When your Supplies drop below 10, an emergency option (A supply cache!) becomes available. It costs Nex, and quite a bit, so it's only worthwhile if you're really desperate.''

You changed it to this: When your Supplies drop below 10, an emergency Fate-locked option (A supply cache!) becomes available.

While I do not share your reason for its change (too spoilerish), I believe your alteration was for the better. Here's why:
 * 1) FBG will probably read the Guides, if nothing else here. (By "FBG", I actually mean "Alexis, that nutty reader guy", but it's possible the other staff members will read them.)
 * 2) They'll be all *SAD FACE* if you write that FL's Fate-locked options are "only worthwhile if you're really desperate". (I'm cracking up just thinking about this scenario. We can always blame Spacemarine9 if that happens.)
 * 3) It's probably best to keep your opinions of Fate-locked options neutral in the main article. BUT in the Comments, feel free to say "It costs quite a bit of Nex, so it's only worthwhile if you're really desperate!" or whatever else you think about their value. (Nothing detailed but enough to get your point across.) Think of it as the difference between an objective editor's article in a newspaper and a subjective opinion column of that same newspaper. :)

Vae, perhaps you're on edge because I wrote this: http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:20376#3

I've purchased both of the Fate options mentioned, Spacemarine9's "A supply cache!" story branch and Nedemmons' Soul Trade storyline. That's why I knew Nedemmons' helpful tidbits were too detailed while Spacemarine9's tip was acceptably vague (well, I would have thought so even without purchasing it). It's not always obvious; I haven't bought every Fate option. Everyone should use their best judgment to decide if something is unacceptably detailed or acceptably vague. That's all, folks.
