It's been a long time since I've said anything about this, but throughout the years I've gone through modes of working or editing things pertaining to information regarding to the Guyver on wiki. And recently, it's finally paid off!

I have now become one of the official (if not the only official anymore or at least active) admin of the official guyver wiki and I have great plans and ideas for it. Much like I originally wanted to do with the wiki on this site. I have already transformed it into something new and different entirely. Giving it "color" so to speak. I am completely redoing the wiki and trying to "clean it up", to make it presentable and neat.

I am modeling the wiki after the larger, more popular wiki's. Much like the bleach, dbz, naruto or yu yu hakusho wiki's. With pictures from the anime and so on. I also would like to add GIF images, and the different types of concepts of the wikis to it. Like quotes on the top of the pages, basic info below the main profile picture, like age, sex, race and so on.

Here's the thing though, I saw somewhere that some members from JP were finding their work to be stolen on that wiki. This message was to a different admin and was some years ago, so I'm not sure if the issue has been resolved yet or not. Or if the old admin ignored it entirely. However someone suggested working hand in hand with JP. Having the official Guyver wiki team up with JP, That's what I would like to do.

I already created a Guyver Advocacy page over there as well, and I am hoping that this is how things could run. You guys would no longer have to worry about maintaining the wiki on JP, JP could adopt the official Guyver wiki, with me as it's admin. I am kind of hoping that I can run the information that will be put on the wiki by you guys to "confirm it" and then I can post it. Kind of like a partnership. Any and all images you would like to be posted there under fanart, or to give the wiki more color and or life for attraction could be done as well.

It's come a long ways from what it once was, but it's still has a way to go. I really like the idea of having the quote on quote official Guyver wiki being overseen by JP and the Guyver Advocacy, though again you guys wouldn't have to do much of anything, other than approve or reject the pages/information that I will be providing. I'll be the admin of the wiki but in truth, you guys would be the CEO's lol kind of like my bosses and would oversee everything, making sure it's accurate and such.

What do you think?

Looks all fine and good. For further references, you may refer to the wiki pages located in this site as well. I can assure you that the information located on the wiki of this page are much more detailed. The Japanese web pages are used as the source of information for the pages here.

Additionally, with regards to the Guyver Advocacy page in the guyver wikia, it might not bode well to broadcast to the whole world that volumes 30 and below are available for everyone to see. As you are well aware, we are working on a gray area with regards to the legality of scanlations. We'll have to discuss this with Yuki/Jess. It might not be an issue, but it's just my paranoid nature acting up.

By the way, those are just the articles that I myself am working on. In total there are 155 articles currently, but that's subject to change. Some of them will be combined such as ZX-Tole and Neo ZX-Tole while other pages haven't even been created yet but will be.

our wiki here recently came under attack by vandal bots. it was due to some negligence when upgrading the software. account creation had been left open and so anyone could sign up and edit the whole thing.

 

the damage that has been done, may be nigh impossible for me to fix.... so I think it might be a good idea for us to retire our wiki and transfer the information to the wikia site.

To Kenji: Well I haven't worked on the Archanfel page myself, I've been trying to focus on one page at a time. However, please let me know where or what it is you would like credit for and I'll make sure you are! Such as if you want a quote, or whatnot. Also let me know which name you would like used for your identity. I'll try to make sure everyone receives their proper credit.

Also, again I am more than willing to take down, credit or do whatever Guyver Advocacy would like me to do with the "official" Guyver wiki. Whether it be images, photo's or pages. Like I originally posted I think it would be a good idea if G.A. could "adopt" the wiki and approve of pages or reject the info and have it be updated. Still working on some areas of the wiki currently. Just let me know if you spot something you would like fixed or what not. 

I'm terribly sorry to hear of that. Can you trace the I.P. account to find out who did it? Possibly press charges? Hope things work out, I know you guys put in a lot of time and effort into that page.  :(

Wow, I see, pretty much copy and pasted. Thank you for letting me know Kenji! I'll definitely fix the issue for you! Please let me know if you want it taken down and I can erase all of that and rework the Archanfel page from scratch. Or, if you want credit for your work that was taken and used on that page, I can credit you too. Or can revise certain parts while also giving you credit. Just let me know exactly what you would like done. Also, let me know which username you would like used to receive credit if that is what you want, or if you want your page used as a source or something. Just let me know.

It's just kind of funny, I'd never seen my work in someplace I hadn't been before. I'd definitely like credit for my work there, and a link back to my page would certainly be nice. Mine may be a small Wiki, but I still take pride in the work I've done.

The name I go by on Wikia is Nyaru, so how about that one.

No I completely understand, I'll try to revise once I make my way to the Archanfel page, I've just been stretching myself out for a bit so I've been trying to focus on one character at a time, if you know what I mean. Also do you want credit as "Kenji" or your wiki user name? I'll post a link in the sources for you as well. I assume the above link you provided is the proper one as well, or did you have another?

Was there any other info on that Archanfel page that was used by your material; other than your Arachanfel page itself? Such as a bit of the Advents creating him, or the council or anything else with Archanfel and your work; or was it that page alone?

Posted

Yeah, there might be more, I'll have to investigate this. I know I used some of the info that I contributed to and worked on back when I was assisting you with your wiki, (such as Thancrus's page) however, I don't know about some of the others like Archanfel, which I didn't contribute to. I've also updated a lot of that info as well. I'm not sure how many pages on the Guyver wiki did this and quite frankly, sense there are well over 100 pages (I've only been editing the ones I listed above here or there) it makes me a bit nervous. However, I will do what I can to make sure your hard labor and tiresome work is credited! If there are any other pages like the Archanfel one, that you wrote yourself etc, we'll source it and credit you.

I went ahead and sourced the site for the Archanfel page and made some minor differences. However, please be patient with me as I have many pages to clean up. Archanfel was not one of my priorities but I will make my way to him on your behalf when time permits me. All characters/bio will be following the format I have laid out with the above pages. So the 'new' Archanfel page will be drastically different once I am finished with it. If you're curious to see the format, please feel free to view some of the characters I'm currently working on above, and you'll see what I am talking about. I again apologies that this has happened with your work, and I'll still be keeping my eyes out for anything like this moving forward.

Alright Kenji, been working more on the Archanfel page trying to revise it and follow the format I've laid out. It's still not finished as it's a lot to work with but you can check the first section and let me know if you would still like it to be revised further. I haven't had the time to finish the whole page but please continue to be patient with me and I'll make sure that it's taken care of. Your page is still sourced at the bottom as well. I'll try to keep you posted with further updates as they happen.

EDIT:
Here's the link:
