I would say that you link him to this thread as to your feelings on the collaborative nature of the wiki. Personally, I would argue that wikis can evolve and admins should generally "swim" with the flow of the community's current instead of "damming" it. A note that animanga editing has a lot of judgement on translating things from the Japanese - unless your manga is licensed in English, then naming from Japanese is a very liquid and nuanced thing. Not to say that your specific example of translation is incorrect - it is possible to nail a nuance if you do it carefully. why don't you invite him to use the appropriate article discussion system on your community to openly explain a revert of a non-vandal edit - that's not really very unreasonable and its what I've seen on most wikis.

A quick explanation of the thread deletion - the recieving user can close but sysops can also delete - its a good idea to store these conversations on wikis in general so as to gauge agreement with any contended points or edits. @Angelo_Gabrini has contributed content himself and must be a quite capable, understanding user with a lot of initiative to become a wiki sysop. However, they should codify any points they feel is important to the wiki with community approval before using admin tools to revert them. With a proper set of rules that you discuss, things become a lot more thorough for the wiki. I could note that you can find something as to stub summaries on the official Japanese site which your wiki contains no mention of @ http://asterisk-war.com/. (A side-note - if your wiki is to grow, you must use JP sources ahead of other sites to improve your SEO and get new fresh info for the fans before Wikipedia/ANN/whoever do).

After reading the deletion log, its pretty clear that the deletion of comments related closely to the page content has occured which I would personally disagree with. If a user cannot see something in the text very well, a few edits around the region of text can improve the flow of it. See here. As for users asking for information in the article already - the same message in the deletion summary could be sent to the user instead of the removal of their comments. The occurence of multiple comments irrelevant to the page such as a next season should simply not happen if the navigation is good enough (basically, always Media first or Characters on the first tab). As you said yourself, I do not mean the aforesaid as criticism of the admin - we all grow and become better by helping each other. I sincerely doubt the admin actually has intentions or opinions against you either.

You know what, just take a step forward with conversation and a step back from editing - and get @RoseLalonde & @TheNoraShinki to comment too. Maybe you'll see results and things will become better for your wiki.
