ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT ON THE WIKIPEDIA ASTRO BOY PAGES!

[AstroBlaster1998]

Your welcome. All I can say is i did try. Look like anastrofan has done a lot of work clearing the stuff up. Thank you anastrofan.

NA means North America. I don't think he was behind that one.

I'm not sure if this is this person but read the 1963 version english language verison. I'm not sure if this is that person. I will paste it below.
names were adjusted for American audiences. Frederik L. Schodt, who created the English version of the original comic, said that the names were “cleverly” changed for American tastes.[4]
In one Tetsuwan Atom manga story Tezuka expressed frustration towards the restrictions passed by American television networks on the adaptation of the newly titled Tetsuwan Atom television series.[5] The U.S. version did not air an episode showing a dog being operated on, as the producers believed it was too cruel and grotesque to show. Tezuka criticized this as hypocrisy, as non-Japanese eat and kill animals in manners he described as “grotesque.” Tezuka added that many White people in Africa shot animals for sport, yet people in England spread false rumors about Japanese people eating dogs.[6]
This section makes me wonder if has stiked again?
Oh i didn't know F-man I just thought they where US stations so it should be US. I do think if they give Canada there own area and group US up the US should be US not NA

I just noticed something in the Wikipedia edit logs is he ether changing accounts or it is a whole group of people.

I read only the 1st few paragraphs, but it seems the writer gives both too much & too little information. Writer speaks of characters presumably unknown to the readers; Pluto, North, Tom Stanton, etc. Malapropisms abound: 'ark' instead of 'arc,' etc.

I never considered WIKIPEDIA a reliable source because anyone can edit it. Admittedly, sometimes I do use it, though hoping to find links to more reputable sources.

Holy cow - he DID have a Uran/Astro Girl meltdown!!

Thanks for trying AstroBlaster. I'm wondering if we can use copy from a version from Wayback Machine to return it to it's original (or more original) form.

NOW I see why people say "don't trust Wikipedia!" But what a shame!

Anything can be undone on the Wikipedia. Just find the entry where it was done, then click "undo" (or, if it doesn't work, use a copy-paste).

That is true i'm now going to always use my schools gale system for important projects.
Well this has been interesting.

Undo did not work, something about warring reverts or something like that. What is "copy-paste"?

Highlight with the cursor. Right-click, then select "Copy". Go to the test field you want to correct, right-click again, and select "Paste". There are other, faster ways of doing it, I think (I know of at least one involving certain keys on the keyboard), but this is the only way I really know how to do it. And you have to have something to copy before you can copy and paste anything.

Hm, the page is rather cluttered, isn't it... I don't see much in the way of ranting, though. But I'm pretty sure that the original wording of the bit about Cobalt did not state that he was "thrown away". Hmph. (In fact, I'm pretty sure I remember it mentioning both his manga and anime appearances, and a little bit about the age differences between them...)

..................... So, is this why this kid was banned? I had plenty of opinions about that guy (most of which were rather mean and rude, and therefore better left unsaid, especially behind their backs like this). But... I always used to think it was a girl? Maybe because of the strong association with Uran, or something...

Should look for his rants on Tezuka in English as well.
