*Chernaudi Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Wikipedia article on Bio-Booster Armor Guyver says that since 2009 its been published in Monthly Young Ace, which is a hybrid Shonen/Seinen mag. Yet, all reliable sources say that Guyver has been continuously published in Monthly Shonen Ace since 2002. I know that for a while there was a debate on Wikipedia as to whether or not Guyver is a shonen manga or a shonen/seinen hybrid, like Evangelon and the last two arcs of Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure became. So does anyone know if Wikipedia's edit on where Guyver chapters are published is right or wrong? I believe based on dedicated manga sources that Guyver is to date published in Shonen Ace monthly.

*Chernaudi Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Relax Point says that most recent issue was published in Shonen Ace, as well as every chapter published since 2008. So Wikipedia is wrong and since damn near anyone can edit it, and to this day there's a misunderstanding on what shonen vs seinen manga is (it's based as much as where it's published/aired on TV for anime as much as content), it's no wonder that there's an assumption as to Guyver being a shonen/seinen hybrid. But since Guyver is published to this day in Shonen Ace, offically, it's a shonen manga, not a seinen manga or even technically a shonen/seinen hybrid, though most of the characters are now adults and Guyver is certainly adult themed. But Guyver is aimed mostly at teens and teens fit nicely in the shonen demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSpleach Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I still remember when the Guyver page had a trivia section, but mod took it out for just a easy edit for he/she to feel productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jess♥ Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 probably more to do with hte fact that it was mostly orginal research. wikipedia needs to be verifiable which is why I replaced the incorrect information and added a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Chernaudi Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 As mentioned, on Wikipedia one can post almost anything they want and it doesn't have to be varifiable, though for the article to be considered factual, one should include a reference to back up their research as Yuki just did.

*Jess♥ Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 yeah, at the end of teh day, wikipedia cannot be relied upon as a rock solid source. it is good for getting a good grounding in a subject and to be used as a stepping stone, but so much information on there is inaccurate or just outright wrong. i've corrected a lot of articles on there in passing. on random things from chemistry to dentistry etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jess♥ Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can't do that personally. conflict of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durendal Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It doesn't have to be you to do it. Why the heck do we need to look at wikipedia anyway when the information contained in the wiki pages of Japan Legend is the most comprehensive compared to the other sources of information? Wikipedia, despite being hugely moderated, their moderators do not have intimate details of Guyver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
