[edit] Cleanup of external links

The "External links" section used to read like an advert board: "The First German MASK Website", "The biggest and most detailed MASK website", "Biggest and oldest MASK massage board", "The Ultimate M.A.S.K. Resource", even "Biggest MASK message board on the NET! Join today and chat with fans from all around the world." I removed the advertising-style descriptions. --AlexChurchill 17:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up?

Can someone outline what they think needs to be cleaned up? -- Lochaber 09:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Overall wikification, a less chatty tone in the section about theme songs, migration of the Vor-Tech information into its own article, and copyright info for the image. Stlemur 14:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
How about now? glocks out 19:10, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VOR-tech

Was trying to do a bit of a clean up there but I am unsure how to proceed on the Vor-tech thing... Was it actually a spin-off or more of a rip-off? -- Lochaber

I think it might be POV to call it either; just start a "Vor-tech" article and say it bore a similarity to M.A.S.K. is probably safest. I'll do a pass through too when I get back later. Stlemur 17:23, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Second Season

Are there 13 episodes (as indicated in the text) or ten (as listed)?Cyberia23 23:26, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Un-wikifying

The links don't currently go to articles on the vehicles. That isn't a problem; if you want to write articles on "Rhino (M.A.S.K.)" or whatever go ahead, although in all likelihood they'll get merged back to this page anyway, but otherwise there's no reason to remove links just for removing's sake. - Stlemur 15:08, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I didn't do the original de-wikifying, but I agree with who started it that to wikify the "common names" seems redundant and unnecessary. So the vehicle is called "Firecracker" but a link to it's name isn't about the vehicle itself, but what it's anamed after, firecrackers, which have nothing to do with the article. Who the &#$@% cares? It's not what is being talked about. If you want to wikify everything how about "Jungle Challenge"? You need to link Jungle and Challenge separately, because by golly - I have no idea what either of those are! Cyberia23 17:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
The vehicle's called "Switchblade" because it's got switchblade-like characteristics (for example). Meanwhile, what does having the extra links really take away from the article? - Stlemur 18:27, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Easier to read for one thing, however, I think thise who article could use a face lift. Perhaps use tables or something. Cyberia23 21:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Question about some character's names

I've noticed that there are two ways of writing some character's names:

Buddy Hawkes/Buddie Hawks, Jacques LeFleur/LaFleur, Bruno Shepard/Sheppard, etc. I myself always use the second option, because that's how they were spelt on the M.A.S.K. toy boxes, but I see the first ones so very often on the net. Were the names written like that in the comic books (I don't have them anymore), or are the first just wrongly spelt? Caudex Rax 16:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Please check

Can anybody please check the grammar and spelling of the DVDs part I made for this article? I'm from the Netherlands, so English isn't my mother tongue. Thanks. Caudex Rax 03:40, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Note that vaccuum should normally be spelt vacuum. But I can't tell if this mistake was intentional or not. -- NeilFraser 14:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
