Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

I tried deleting the information on zords on this page and it was reverted and I was told this was vandalism. That was not my intent. It clearly states there is original research on this page, the Zords information being among the original research. Since deleting any Zord information on the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seems to be out of the question, I suggest deleting the Zords in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article that is linked under the Zord section of this article. Is that page really necessary? We have the general information about the Zords on the main Mighty Morphin Power Rangers article, shouldn't that be enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.47.213 (talk) 07:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There should be no deletion of any form of this information. You should not delete it from this page or the other one. All information comes directly from the show and is separate for a reason.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I realize it was erroneous on my part to delete the zord information of this page. I only did it cause there was a link to a page with extensive information on the zords. Now I think the zord information on this page belongs here but the other article, despite being a wealth of information, has no references and seems like it would be better suited for a fan wiki. However, I have no intentions of trying to delete that other page myself, I figure it should be discussed first since a lot of hard work seems to have went into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.28.47.213 (talk) 10:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how Wikipedia works.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know why the "Zords" pages were removed? Would there be any complaints about implementing a table which included which Zord went to who? I feel that its vital info to understand the show more if you look at this article. Lupercus (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I got rid of them because it was not suitable for any sort of coverage on Wikipedia. It's useless fan minutae that has no reliable sources to stand on its own better suited for discussion in the character articles/lists or episode lists. This page is supposed to be about the TV show and giving a section on the giant robots is not suitable. And no tables, stop obsessing over those. This kind of shit was exactly found in the older tables that were completley unprofessional.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chill on the "table-hate". Sheesh. I wrote this comment before the other one. Man... people hate tables here... that should be an article. However, yes, I can agree that most Zord talk could be relegated to the character articles/lists. What if, as part of the cast list, it mentions the Zords there briefly? What do you think? Lupercus (talk) 19:12, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They have absoultely nothing to do with the casting.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:31, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

Given the fact that the David Yost allegations happened on the set of Power Rangers Zeo don't they belong on that page and not this one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.99.105 (talk) 02:49, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture Error

In this article the picture titled "The six oringinal Power Rangers" is in correct. This is a picture of the Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger team from the Japanese show MMRP is based from. I think it would be in the best interest to try to find a fair use picture of the team from the American show.Toughguy223 (talk) 05:21, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There were no shots of the six Rangers in American footage.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 19:15, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But there are promotional materials including still shots of the American suits together as featured on the Shout! Factory dvds. You can easily tell the difference in the Dragon Shield and neck hoods. 174.101.148.12 (talk) 18:57, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AIP

The news article at http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/72688762?q=alt.sex.stories&c=article discusses the Australian government's move to censor a newsgroup over "Agony in Pink" - While it's not said in the article, we know AIP is a Power Rangers fanfic... WhisperToMe (talk) 01:25, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No one gives a damn about fanfics.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 23:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DVD Releases

It should be noted a Region 2 release of the DVDs produced by Shout! Factory (The complete series box set and individual volumes) is unlikely due to the fact that Shout! Factory doesn't possess the rights to distribute in Region 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.148.12 (talk) 18:54, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pink Ranger

Looking for some clarification here. Both Kim and Kat are listed as being the Pink Ranger and the Pink Ninja Ranger. To me, the Pink Ranger was before they received the Ninja powers and then after they would be called the Pink Ninja Ranger. Would you all agree? Lupercus (talk) 23:57, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amy Jo Johnson was still a member of the cast during the Ninjazord season and there was a separate ninja transformation that they used.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's kinda what I was thinking... if it was based on the "ninja" costumes and then the power ranger outfits. Thanks. Lupercus (talk) 17:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article Clean Up - Consensus Request

Looking over all the articles for the Power Ranger TV Shows, I see a lot of inconsistency. I implemented this table to clean up the article and make it look nicer... easier on the eyes. It was reverted for this reason: "Tables are unprofessional and haven't been used on the English Wikipedia's Power Rangers articles for years now."

Actor	Character	Ranger
Austin St. John	Jason Lee Scott	Red (1st)
Walter Emanuel Jones	Zack Taylor	Black (1st)
David Yost	Billy Cranston	Blue (1st), Blue Ninja
Thuy Trang	Trini Kwan	Yellow (1st)
Amy Jo Johnson	Kimberly Ann Hart	Pink (1st), Pink Ninja (1st)
Jason David Frank	Thomas "Tommy" Oliver	Green, White, White Ninja
Steve Cardenas	Rocky DeSantos	Red (2nd), Red Ninja
Johnny Yong Bosch	Adam Park	Black (2nd), Black Ninja
Karan Ashley	Aisha Campbell	Yellow (2nd), Yellow Ninja
Catherine Sutherland	Katherine "Kat" Hillard	Pink (2nd), Pink Ninja (2nd)

Looking for a consensus that: 1. Tables are not unprofessional. Ask any business. 2. It's a much cleaner look than what is currently showing. Lupercus (talk) 17:20, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No tables on these articles. Plenty of articles on television programs present the cast in a list format. We are not going back to tables.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:36, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input. That makes it a 1-1 vote... therefore, no consensus either way at this moment. Lupercus (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is entirely unnecessary in your table to say what color their suit was. That should be covered by the article on the characters, or it should be dealt with in list-based prose as it is currently. And as a final note, Wikipedia is not run as a democracy. There are no votes. All discussions are weighed based on arguments put forward.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not unnecessary in the table to include what Ranger they are. It says in the sentence there, so I retained the info. You are right... it is not a democracy, however, perhaps we should review WP:CONSENSUS and remember that 1 person does not dictate the final standing of an article. Lupercus (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I know you think this works for the article, but there are just no tables for cast lists on this project, and Wikipedia previously had tables set up for these that were overly complex and colored and made to look pretty (you can still see these on other language projects and the fan wikias) and we're not going down that road again.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 18:54, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I do believe it works for the article and I feel that all articles such as this (where there is quite a bit of info on 1 character) should be laid out in such a way. It's a much cleaner look and easy to understand. Personally, I think it looks messy as it is... especially the "Allies" and "Villians" sections. Too much wasted info... looks like garbage. And again, I'm looking for consensus. We have differing opinions. More people need to weigh in before this request can actually be denied based on consensus. Lupercus (talk) 19:03, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It all needs to be scrapped for a proper cast section and list of characters page but it's too much work with the older series.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 19:08, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think I agree with that. It's only too much work if no one wants to do it. I'm gladly willing to edit things like this. Again, I feel the table is a much cleaner look, but if we can come to some sort of consensus on a different look that is still clean, I'm game. Lupercus (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Table's not cleaner. Just make a cast section devoid of any character biographies.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

morphin?

What is Morphin? Does it mean "Morphing", like "Transform", "Shape-shifting", metamorphosis (From typical teenagers to Mighty Rangers)? Why, to confuse Children by Drug Words: Mighty Morphine and Super Heroin/e 84.95.230.168 (talk) 21:05, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
