Gakusen Toshi Asterisk

I'd like to point this out that ever since I've been on this wiki, I haven't contributed much, but whatever I've tried to has been undone for some reason or other. And mostly, I do not think, that the reason is just simple enough that I've made errors. When I first came to look for some info here, I'd already seen a few of the anime episodes, and found a word to be incorrect in that context. I checked if the word was incorrect or was it something new related to this series. Finding that the word was incorrect and on the wiki it was sometimes used as 'prana' and sometimes as 'plana' I changed them to 'prana' which is the correct one. But after some time, I again encountered the same thing and checked if the edits done by me were not accepted, but found that they were undone by an admin (Angelo Gabrini). I asked the admin if he had a reason to change it back. His reply was because when the Japanese word is translated to English it can be done as 'Plana' or 'Prana'. When I informed him about a few points/arguments why the usage of 'Prana' was more appropriate, he seemed to deny it completely - saying that he is admin and has every right to change whatever he wants'. Although he accepted my points in the end, and it all seemed to end well. This thread/message of our conversation was on his wall until recently [by the topic name "Undo Edits" but must have been deleted now as it cannot be found to give the reference link here. I had also sent the another local admin a message to check this but that message [titled as "Prana/Plana] also seems to have been deleted from her 'message wall' as well. [for reference - (link) - but this link does not show the messages/conversation anymore that happened between us.]

Another 2 incidents happened when I tried to edit the page for 'Episode 9' and 'Episode 10'. For 'Episode 9' my edit was 'undone' even before I could something more to it after checking somethings out. Almost a week after that, to avoid the same thing, I edited and added all the info after verifying and then published it. But again within a couple of hours, all of what I had written was completely changed. The thing that bothers me is that - if he has all the proper info why doesn't he add them to the pages of the other 'Episodes' as well, why only do something to the article that I have edited. Isn't that targeted bullying here. Who decides who is allowed to edit on this wiki and who isn't the Angelo Gabrini (as admin), also whenever I go to this wiki just to look for info, all I see is mostly only this user is doing all the editing [as though he has monopolized this wiki and taken over to make it his personal website]. I do appreciate all the contributions he has done to the wiki, but target me (or anyone else) is very discouraging and disheartening to me. I've because of this not dared to contribute any thing much to this wiki since then.

I request to someone to please see to it that wiki continues to remain a community website and not someone's personal tool to dictate. And hope that no one else like me gets harassed over the internet, so that everyone can get along well and enjoy this place more. My only intention was to bring this incident to someone's attention. I don't want to hurt anyone's reputation and so request anyone reading this to not misunderstand or get offended.
