An example would be encyclopedia Britannica. Many proffesional encyclopedias do not advocate their usage, and according to the generally accepted manual of styles for academic places of knowlege this isn't accepted. Despite the notion that wikipedia holds a large range of articles, the core value and status of the encyclopedia hasn't changed.

My views for their removal are simple, although as they've been around for length of time I realize many might not agree with my logic: Originally, there was talk of proposing this widely to the community through the village pump or a similar forum, but as a user on Wikipedia talk:Spoiler warning raised, I believe it might be more effective to establish concensus for each brand of articles and gain opinions on the removals through each appropriate wikiproject, rather than a mass notification, which doesn't at this point, seem paticularly sensible.

I don't know whether it has been pointed out here yet, but I don't honestly feel there's a place for spoiler tags in Wikipedia.
