Tekkaman Blade media

If you interested in editing other Tekkaman Blade stuff, there's:

Uchuu no Kishi: Tekkaman Blade - video game

Teknoman - One dude is making a lot of changes. Not sure I agree with them since it's mostly concentrating on Teknoman instead of Tekkaman Blade but it seems harmless.

*tips hat* Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have time to fix a lot of the edits soon, though I don't know whether Anonymous will come back to revert to his changes. Some of them don't make any sense at all (such as taking the link tags out of a link to Tekkaman Blade but leaving the text there - methinks that was part of his whole attempt to separate Teknoman and Tekkaman Blade into different pages.. a good idea but I'd prefer making Teknoman a footnote at the bottom of the Tekkaman Blade page, seeing as the original series merits more attention). Maybe if he registers with a nickname we can work out a compromise :P Don't suppose there's any way to get admins to help protect the page if Anonymous'es get vengeful and start vandalizing it out of spite?

I think you can get him blocked if you want. There's a page on wikipedia to block vandals. I think think that teknoman should be mentioned at the end too and a tiny bit the first paragraph. The names changes list and episode list should stay in my opinion. Afterfall, without Teknoman, a lot of people wouldn't know about tekkaman blade. Good luck on your edits. --Dangerous-Boy 12:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Teknoman was actually how I got introduced to anime, so I'm a little biased whenever anyone asks which is my favorite. ;) I used to get up early on weekends with a bowl of cereal to catch episodes on UPN :P I'll have to wait until I get the night shift at work again (a few days) so I'll have plenty of time to sit around editing wikipedia, heh. And this method of carrying on a conversation could use some improvement (after all, I dunno when you'll check back here). I don't want to keep spamming up your talk page with copy-pasted duplicates of everything here :P TKarrde 12:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The TBII deletion artist is the same guy. Jjjsixsix 15:22, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, read through it, seeing [1], not many changes from old version at all. The Tekkaman Blade II page isn't the problem, the Tekkaman Blade one is, and as of now, has nothing on it. Again, as I stated on Dangerous-Boy's talk page, I have a Template:user anime-0 on my user page, so I really don't know much, but I did notice that one anon was repeatedly tearing down the Teknoman wiki without saying what he was doing. As for Tekkaman Blade II, those look like good faith edits, as in, switching spellings from int'l versions to US versions? (Ah, spelling disputes. I got involved in one of those once, not touching those again.) So yeah, those are my two cents on an issue I honestly have no clue about. -- Jjjsixsix 23:35, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, see, the issue with the spellings and names are that the US spellings/names belong to "Teknoman", which is a very butchered and mangled, Americanized and truncated version of the original show. The original series had either six or eight seasons (I forget exactly) - Teknoman had two. Also, Teknoman changed the gender of a character who had a crush on the main character just to prevent the American masses from having to deal with the horrifying specter of homosexuality in "cartoons" (Rebin to 'Maggie MacPherson', male to female). Also, the English versions of the show emphasized more action and more or less did away entirely with most of the plot and backstory behind the characters' conflicts, which left the show feeling pretty shallow compared to the original, IMO. The list goes on and on, but in the end it basically leads me to believe that Teknoman is best represented by a mention in a page dedicated to the original, unmangled series - Tekkaman Blade. The edits in the Tekkaman Blade II page that I was referencing were minor, true, but unhelpful and largely hinting at someone not too experienced at editing to begin with - the results, IMO, were actually a step down from what they sought to edit. Anyway, I'll have plenty of time to get around to fixing all of it in about two days (when I've got the night shift at work again :P). TKarrde 14:46, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For reference, the Anonymous I'm referring to that has been problematic is 220.238.11.15. The other Anonymouses that have made changes to the TBII page have been mostly helpful (I'm willing to let them have their way with the Firstname first, Lastname last issue, but it's sloppy editing and erosion of quality that really get to me, like with the aforementioned IP).

Hey

Hey, that would be awesome. I look forward to seeing the Miang page! Deckiller 12:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha. Look forward to it in about a week (two tops) - I'll start working up some drafts. Unfortunately until my personal computer gets fixed (probably two months) I won't be able to contribute any pics to the article, you might need to find those yourself.
