RE: Unification of FS-Endings
I vote for either reverting the page to the last revision before that change, or an edit of that revision only adding the note about endings.
Reason: The explanation for the unification in itself admits there are two different endings - very similar, but still different. And, even if one might argue the question of who "hit the button" is irrelevant for FS - history has shown us that it was always assumed that the GDI one. And in the wake of another Quest for Dollars by EA, that's something we cannot ignore.
So, not only does the author admit there are two, albeit similar, different endings, but we also have to assume we'll be forced to fork Tiberium Wars' storyline in the future.
Therefore, this page should be fixed/reverted to include the correct number of two (2) endings for FS again.
If there is no answer to this within three days, I assume no one else is interested in this topic and will do the fixing. I would, however, prefer to discuss this with the revision's author first.

If C+C3 states there is just one ending, fine, we'll edit the page according to new information. But for now, we have two different ending sequences, which is a clear indicator of two different endings, no matter how minor the difference may be.
