Yes, you're an adult. :) I never called that into question. I'm just saying, over the years, I've learnt the difference between being an adult and acting like an adult.  I've seen it all, and perhaps it's made me a tad cynical with relatively low expectations, though I still try to apply good faith and some optimism that things can be improved upon.

And yes, it's possible for our edits to collide if we try to edit at the same time, but the slower editor's submission will be tentatively rejected, and they are given an opportunity to salvage their aborted edits so they can examine what the faster editor has just changed in the article (reading the edit history is great for this) and decide whether to try another edit. It's good to be relatively bold as an editor, and even Wikipedia encourages this on their wiki. (Wikia is a separate creature altogether, but I like to think a similar principle applies here as well.) Editors can still wind up being mistaken, but nothing is accomplished by trying nothing at all, and bad edits (including outright vandalism) can still be reverted using controls available in the edit history pages. It may take a learning curve to figure out how to use, but there's a wealth of useful built-in tools available to aid collaborating editors.

At this point, I think we can speculate many things about what may happen, especially if and when the brothers find the proverbial skeletons in each other's closets. This can be fun in a deviantART discussion, but speculative guessing isn't really our focus in articles. We can dish and gossip in Turtlepedia forum threads and maybe even on these message walls, but there are so few actual MNT Gaiden editors here that it ultimately just makes more sense to talk about that on dA instead. I suppose it doesn't hurt that at least one of the Turtlepedia moderators, Sugilita, seems to be a regular reader of MNT Gaiden, and you may already know her at least from her dA comments. And one of the admins, The S, also seems to be a reader, but apparently hasn't read it in a long time and was recently surprised to discover how much more violent it has become when he saw the Chapter 22 cover (which had to be cropped and censored on this wiki).
