I recently read Re-Take, and I was impressed by it and I enjoyed it very much however, I needed some clarification on certain parts of the storyline, so I referred to the wiki page. I read it, but I disliked the unprofessional style of writing and I believe that it was not up to standards that many of the wiki pages follow. I apologise if I am offending the author of the page in question, but what I wish to ask is, I am allowed to edit it?
I have only read the all ages version of Re-Take, due to the fact that I am aware that it is a Hentai doujin. Does the storyline in the all ages version differ from the original, and will it alter my explanation of the plot?

That first question you had will have to be answered by someone higher up the food chain than me (not a mod/contributor to any of the wiki), but...

...this I can answer for you, and that answer would be "no". Not enough to matter, anyway.

Well there is the retake thread most questions regarding retake have been answered there http://forum.evageeks.org/thread/1743/DOUJINSHI-Re-Take/

As to if you have any questions I could probley answer most if you asked (but symbv would be the best person to ask as he owns both the all ages version and the 18 plus edition and knows more about it than me)

I wonder who wrote that wiki page.... Actually I was not aware of a wiki page for Re-Take...

I consider All-ages as the final edit as Kimigabuchi wrote it after the 18x version and made changes to streamline and improve the storytelling on top of cutting or replacing the explicit sex scenes (and then adding some other scenes). It changes the plot only very little; if anything it should make it easier to explain the plot with all-age version because the storyline is more coherent there.
I never thought I would come back to Evangelion after EoE,
But I discovered Re-Take (or it found me?) and
now here I am.

You can always check out the History, Zeak started writing it: http://wiki.evageeks.org/index.php?title=Re-Take&dir=prev&action=history Myself and some others edited the page to make it more professional. At one point, Eric Blair said he'd make his own summary write-up (which I'm still waiting on to include into the Wiki).

^ Thanks SSD. The main contributors are names I don't recognize - Zeak and Bee-Zerk.

I have just checked the wiki for Re-Take and I think there is a lot of room to expand, particularly the All-Ages version (like having separate sub-sections for the 3 volumes just like the six in 18x version, and stress that it is a final edit that is not just "a version of the Re-Take series with the sexual content removed" (copied form wiki) which seems to indicate that the All-ages only removed things, where in fact it has things edited, moved and added.

And it would be great if some of the technical information (publication date, cover art) about Re-Take I posted in Re-Take thread can be included in the wiki

http://forum.evageeks.org/post/494887/DOUJINSHI-Re-Take/#494887

Don't think I have the time and will to work on Re-Take wiki (Madoka translation takes higher priority in my mind right now) but if there is any question or topic about Re-Take you guys want to ask or discuss, we can do it in the Re-Take thread.

May I have permission to edit some of the parts of the page that are in need of the most work? Also, for the time being could someone who is in charge of the wiki pages please put a notification at the top of the page that is worded like this:
The tone and/or writing style of this article/section is inappropriate. It should be rewritten to confirm to guidelines.
Please discuss this issue on the talk page and/or begin editing the page.

Then it is more clear that the page needs work.

No idea why it doesn't have a Clean Up template, it should. I'll fix that right now.

*raises hand* I pretty much wrote that page. If you tell me how I horribly failed I can go and fix it.
