As a sidenote, a forum thread there and RfC with other admins if you want a second opinion is the best thing for this kinda situation before going to the community forum of the whole domain - where issues will take longer to be resolved because I have zero stake in your wiki right now.

@Sid, the summary information you added was probably due a bit of editing to make any sword used a subject (thus getting rid of the brackets). Feel free to add this back but I'm using this as an example of how the sentence can become a little less conversational and more summarised. Saya informs that, she would be fine as she has Arcwandels (her gun), Souichi agrees saying as long she is using one of his guns, she wouldn't lose and wishes her luck. After the call finished, Saya and Kirin went to customs, Eishirou decided he would try and join the press conference, and Ayato and Julis decided they would train.

Here's what I edited it to, feel free to add this back yourself (I am incapable of rewriting the first bit cos the excitement sentence summarises it well enough for me.)

With Souichi's reassurance, Saya puts faith in her gun Arcwandels and his workmanship before leaving for customs with Kirin. After the call finished, Eishirou also decided he would leave to attempt joining the press conference while Ayato and Julis decided they would train. I reiterate that I very strongly doubt that you are being bullied - the episode summary information you added could have been edited to remain there and the reversion was probably because Angelo was unable to rephrase what you added. The admin could always restore the thread and remove any comments they want to retract by replacing with something like this.

''Comment retracted by author. The author apologizes for this message.'' With an explanation as to why they take it back in a second comment.

As for the transliteration, we are human and we make mistakes. Even if you a great logical argument to support the transliteration of a Japanese name that doesn't support the nuance of "l/r" in English (which is beneficial), it should be less of a point of contention until the licensing of the manga - in comparision to the page stub on anime info. I think you guys should be really busy with the anime adaptation and not as much with this incident - its not something I'm interfering in and I genuinely believe that my advice is not fully needed because its not difficult to solve with co-operation.

PS: I think you should begin to question how he was unfriendly, I think he's being fairly defensive of the reversions he made with some reason. I think that is progress - you can't make another user who opposes something comply on a wiki as he is another user & another contributor as well as being an admin. Seeing as there is a discussion on your wiki, I think you should invest your efforts into the discussion there and abandon this one because I cannot help things on a wiki I don't edit. Again, admins are very cautious by nature but we can underestimate the power the tools that we have in our grasp to use.
