Lock this page up. Been too much vandalism on it. some ppl thought it would be so funny to write she's lesbian... I think this is because of Ubisofts raffle to give the winners some kind of a date with her.. not serious I think btw but as said some stupid guys thought their edit would make people sa they're great...sry my English is not very good but I think I could have a good point at this. --89.247.201.104 19:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Do we lock up pages on Nazism because of would-be contributors' abuses of Godwin's Law? No -- because Wikipedia utilizes editorial scrutiny when an article is tainted with undocumented allegations and inappropriate personal sentiment. If Wikipedia can streamline articles on Hillary Clinton and Rush Limbaugh despite public animosity, they can do it for an article on Jade Raymond. As long as the public record is noted with specific references, the strengths of the article should outweigh its disadvantages.

Apart from Raymond's unquestionable level within her profession, as evidenced by her non-PR work with Sony, et al., one of the main reasons to allow the entry is to chronicle the extraordinary and documented pitch of sexual harassment that was directed against her on the internet and within the gaming community once she became a spokesperson for Ubisoft. Hers has been a unique situation, and sexual harassment is an important issue because of her status as a pioneering woman in the gaming field.

No need to "put the brakes" on an article in which the achievements of the subject warrant a sober entry, and even the worst aspects of the controversy have lasting cultural resonance. Notorious cases of defamation of character and verbal lynching are of particular relevance at this stage in the internet's development, as recent cases bear out (such as the case against Lori Drew after Megan Meier's suicide). --Sepium Gronagh (talk) 23:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comic Controversy

Folks I think we should let the whole incident play out so we can get some perspective on the entire thing, before we add it too the article. Lets just put the brakes on it for the moment. --Brokenscope (talk) 16:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I accidentally deleted the article while trying to add a fact, I have no idea what I've done. I'm sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.21.7 (talk) 06:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I dunno, I think that comic was pretty accurate. Why else would anyone want to run around Jerusalem collecting flags and other unoriginal side missions. 208.106.104.40 (talk) 20:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
