Hi everyone, sorry I've missed like half of the discussion, I should be more active if I wish to be a diligent editor. Regarding the current discussions, I agree with Fox and Yuji overall, but I’ll just write what I think anyway.

Page names: I’m happy with majority agreement on page names, so I don’t have anything to say :)))

Song and Episode names: In regards to these two, I agree with, and have the same reasonings as Fox.

Character names: I agree with using macrons in character names. Using Shōta Nakagawa as an example: ‘Shota’ is not correct because his name in Kanji is ‘翔太’ ­– where in onyomi form 翔 is read as ショウ/shou, and 太 is read as either タ or タイ – and would therefore be ‘Shouta’ in romaji form. However, some fans refer to him as ‘Shota’ because it is the simplified version (without the macron) of his name used in most versions of the Japanese subbed series (official or otherwise). While I do think it is difficult for most users to search for him (or anything in general) with a macron/long sound in his name, simply naming him ‘Shōta’ would represent both versions of his name and make it easy for fans to recognise him as the macron represents the long sound ‘ou’ in his name, while his name without it would be ‘Shota’.

Grammar poll: I agree creating a poll would be fair to determine what grammar system we should use on the Free!Wiki. I personally use English Grammar because I come from the obvious location, Australia, but I don’t mind if we use American Grammar since that is what has been used in the past and what I have been using already.

The final decisions: Fox, I’m sure I can speak for Yuji and Angelle when I say there won’t be any ill feelings caused because of your (potential) final choices as a bureaucrat. As an active user with the longest experience and most edits, your authority places you in the position of – what I would consider – a leader. Your role as bureaucrat does not make you “better than anyone else” (I hope this doesn’t sound offensive because it’s not supposed to I swear) nor are your opinions “prioritised”, it just means that you will have to make the final decisions if necessary. Even if it may not be what a certain person or certain people would prefer, every person’s choice cannot be chosen at the end of the day and therefore, said person/people will need to just accept that the final decision was made.

Reading what I wrote above to myself, makes me think I come across as blunt or rude which is not what want you all to think at all because I promise I’m not intending to sound that way so I really hope I didn’t offend any of you with what I’ve said.

Anywhale, those are my thoughts :)
