[edit] Spelling of Name in Article

I've noticed several inconsistencies in how his name is spelled across the article. It is spelled "Michaelangelo" in the Comic Books and 1987 Cartoon sections, yet it is spelled without the A in other sections of the text.

Of course, at the time of the comic books and the '87 cartoon, his name was spelled with an A, but his name in the movie too was spelled with an A.

So how are we going to do this? Should his name in the article always be spelled "Michelangelo" (except for the Name Spelling section)? Or should we spell his name as it was spelled during each incarnation (i.e. "Michaelangelo" for the Comic Books, 1987 Cartoon, and Movie sections; "Michelangelo" elsewhere)?

Since his name was always intended to be "Michelangelo" and that is the most current spelling, it should be noted that his name was spelled with an A at certain times, but it should be spelled "Michelangelo" in all references. --IKUnderhill 00:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Is it really the most recent spelling? The article states that "2007 movie teaser poster featuring Michelangelo, we see the 'Michaelangelo' spelling". PRB 15:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but the poster had the date wrong, too. --Brandon Dilbeck 23:10, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rooish

Why did he get nicknamed 'Rooish' by Shadow? It isn't part of his name...

Has Shadow called him Rooish since the issue described in the article? I don't read the comics, so I wouldn't know. Michelangelo isn't called Rooish in any other series (movies or any of the cartoons). I'm concerned about how important it is to describe him as "Rooish" in the opening sentence. Is that nickname very important? --Brandon Dilbeck 23:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nunchaku

Why did their illegal status cause their depiction to be banned? I seriously doubt -swords- are legal in any country either.

[edit] Removal of Innacuracy section

I believe the 'Innacurracy' sections should be removed on all of the ninja turtle character bio pages.

There is really no reason to criticize fictional creations for not being realistic. There's plenty of other innacuracies with other fictional ninjas. Naruto Uzumaki turns into wood and uses a billion clone copies of himself but nowhere on his page do i see 'in reality, Ninjas could not shoot magical blue balls or create mystical illusionary copies of themselves.'

In fact, all of the 'innacuracy' sections on each of the TMNT bio pages read mostly as POV and fancruft anyways. So, I'm just removing them all now. TotalTommyTerror 14:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

It might be worth noting that the nunchaku weren't a ninja weapon. That isn't "fancruft" I don't think. Maybe it already says so in the article somewhere; I'll have to check. 70.50.54.186 18:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Who cares? It's fiction! While you're at it, you may as well complain that there's no such thing as mutant turtles. --Brandon Dilbeck 21:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out that it's fiction. We might all have missed that subtlety otherwise. 70.50.54.186 01:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
