Revival of the thread with the curvy leopard dress of Park Hyun Sun:

Well, I just pre-ordered SIC decade. I was also informed that the SIC Kiva arrived earlier a few months back but was sold out. And the one I pre-ordered was for a re-order. Don't know if they're telling the truth or just pulling my leg.

I have no problems with that. My only predicament now, as what I have mentioned, is how I should differentiate "Kamen" from "Masked", as what was indicated in Kabuto. In the title it is written as "仮面ライダー" but they are using the "マスクドライダーシステム". Perhaps we should just use Masked for both instances when it is written in Kanji "Kamen" and as "Masked" in Katakana?

I'm asking this mainly because there are series that uses "Kamen" and "Masked" at the same time. Like Kabuto, even though they used "Kamen" (仮面) as the titular series, in the story, they call the rider system as "Masked" (マスクドライダー). Which is why when I did Kabuto, I retained "Kamen". Renaming them all to "Masked" is going to be a lot of work. Not only do you have to change every file, you also have to change every link involved. Even wikipedia uses Kamen. I do believed it should be translated as masked, but I can't help avoid the fact that Saban made a ripoff Masked Rider which might confuse every western viewers. Those are the three main reasons why I'm hesitant to using "Masked rider". Even at this moment, I strongly feel the need to retain "Kamen Rider".

Kinda weird to bring this up now, but should we call them Kamen Rider or Masked Rider? Although the link to all pages are using "Kamen", in the series info box, some are named Masked Rider (Blade, Kabuto & kiva) while the rest uses "Kamen" I guess I would have to rename them Kamen now. Ok, I guess I just answered my own question.

Reviving this page to conform with the PTW. Already reformatted the contents. Didn't bother to save the contents since I started this page, and information contained therein are not that relevant. I will be working on this page while until I watch blade again.

Well, I checked the opening video of Blade and my second picture is the one that appears on the show. However, I can't seem to find any images that has a better resolution than the one I posted above. Also, I think I'll revisit the Kiva page. It's kinda difficult to do the wiki of Blade when I've only seen up to episode 2. There are some elements that I really can't understand. Will return back to adding blade when I have grasped the overall concept of the show, hopefully I get the chance to do so this coming weekend.

Ok then. The reason why I used those images is for symmetry, consistency and uniformity. We are talking about the pics in the rider pages right? I'll leave that to everyone else. I believe my work here is done.

That is true. But if you compare the present riders to the previous riders, the old riders have a more serious tone. I mean zero presence of comedy. I'm not sure what you mean by comedy and kamen rider not mixing well, I have seen Kabuto and I found the comedy somewhat enjoyable even though somewhat minimal. Even in Decade, just watching Tsukasa on Den-O world made me laugh. Momotaros is funny. Especially the Den-O cards which Decade used. Priceless. Ore Sanjo card which is practically useless. LOL.

I have not yet seen Den-O yet, but I have seen it's predecessor Kabuto. I think the major change in Den-O was the big emphasis on comedy. Although it was Kabuto that started the comedy, I think it was until Den-O that the slapstick went full scale. Kiva didn't really have that comedic feel to it which is why it did not appeal to many.

Added pictures in the characters and pictures of the riders in both their forms. Check it out. I'm not sure what else to add to enhance the wiki.

Holy Crap! That fast!!! The show is still airing! They skipped Ixa, Dark Kiva, Sagarc and Emperor. At least they didn't completely skip the series like they did Kabuto. Damn! At least this means I still have a chance of acquiring Kabuto (should they decide to release on that is), since all the other earlier main riders are almost impossible to find. I think I kinda understand why they're not releasing Kabuto. I think it's hella hard to make the cast off. I should be kicking myself in the head right now for not acquiring the SIC when I saw them on sale. I already had Ryuki, Faiz and Blade in the palm of my hands years ago and I just let it go. Oh~ why did the heisei riders come in so late in my life. Our local shop also have SIC Decade on pre-order. Shall I get it? Hmm.....

*smacks head* Why didn't I think of that. Will do that. But I guess I will have to re-upload all of the images then. This is actually our project, and not mine alone. Although I think it would be better if I leave what you wrote intact and have a section for it as a review. This way, people may appreciate the show better with your existing review.

Uh.... I don't get it. You mean when uploading images, the bigger the size the better? I may have some difficulty with this, as some large image may distort the page. Like the images I uploaded for the ZECT members in the Kabuto page, because there are little description, the images protrudes to the next character, distorting the placement of the next characters image.

This is a part of my Project Toku Wiki (PTW). Currently started watching Blade and will update this page as I progress through the story. I would also like an opinion regarding the logo. Should I use the one I already uploaded in the wiki or should I use this one: I have to admit, the one I uploaded in the wiki is kinda bland. Additionally, this page was previously edited by Larz with his synopsis, so I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to fit his review on the page. Perhaps a separate page for the review? Any suggestions are welcome.

This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Masked Rider Blade

Done with the Kabuto. I removed a lot of subsections as the information contained therein are irrelevant to the series itself. Feel free to "mercilessly edit" the page. Now to move on to watching Blade.

I've got some issues with regards to the future editing of the Kamen Rider wiki. Do you think it would be alright if we changed the page to "Kamen Rider Series"? Then replace the current Kamen Rider page with information regarding the original Kamen Rider? I've put "Kamen Rider (Original)" in the link but I feel this is kinda awkward. Another thing, since my next project will involve Blade, I've noticed that Larz already put a summary on it. How should I go about it? I'm not comfortable about replacing all his work, as this might seem to be outright disrespectful. And I'm not really sure how I could fit his synopsis with the whole picture of the Blade wiki. My last issue is that I would want to upload pictures for each wiki page. Like what was done to the Hurricanger Page. Pictures of the said rider/character on the right side of their description. I'm not sure how server space would be able to handle the influx of images. Or if I should put images to these pages at all.

Woot! Done with the template. Had a little trouble copying from wikipedia since their universal template is too damn complicated. So I just improvised my own. Just add {{KR navbox}} at the end of every KR page. This is going to be a lot of work.

Thanks for that, I was actually trying to figure out how to do that. Also, would it be alright if I add another template at the bottom of the page linking to the different rider series like the one they have in Wikipedia? I'm almost done with this one. After I'm through with Kabuto, the next one on my list is Blade. Already seen episode 1, and will only watch episode 2 when I'm finished with this one.

I just pre-ordered the SIC vol 50, Kiva. Cost around $47 and the expected arrival would be at the end of August. I'm also considering getting volume 40, Agito with Machine Tornado and Vol 28, Faiz. Not to mention I just had in my hands a while ago the Decade Henshin Belt. Don't plan on cosplaying so did not ask how much it cost.

Added a few more info on the riders. Also, created a succession box template which you will see at the bottom of the page. Took me a little research to finish that, and I hope this would make it easier to navigate the Kamen Rider series. Already added the said template to the bottom page of Den-O and Kiva.

Finished the list of characters and is currently working on the main page. Already finished the Kabuto section with the exception of tools. Feel free to edit the list of characters.

Yup, removed it. I think I'm going to have to edit some of the info here. Already finished some of the characters omitting potential spoilers like Tadokoro being a Native and Misaki falling for a Worm Tsurugi. Feel free to edit should I miss something. I'm going to re-edit the whole wiki once I'm done to limit the spoilers. As it is right now, the spoilers are just too blatant.

Update: Added a few more characters in the list of characters. Also move the list of characters into it's own page as it is too long. Also, I only recently noticed, the Japanese wiki has this standard wiki warning on top of the page indicating an important discussion. Summary of discussion is to "reduce the summary of the subject". I think I may be way over my head on this. Perhaps someone might be interested in cutting out any spoiler information after I'm done with this. Well in any case, I'll just continue as is, and let someone else modify this later.
