Interview with former 4Kids translator Paul Taylor.
He wasn't directly responsible for the rewrites or censorship but there is quite a bit of apologia for it, so be warned.
Most shockingly though he reveals he made up localized character names whenever they weren't in the style guide, which took even his supervisors aback. Apparently only a handful of his made-up names made it into the final dubs though; many seemingly got changed (again).
