:New discussions at the bottom of the page. Since the definition of 'dan' affects more than just the Rocket page, if you want to change it, you will need to actually discuss it. Regardless of your opinion, BP has taken the stance to use 'Gang' as the translation (so no discussion was necessary), and if that is the official translation, it cannot be changed to what someone else considers 'appropriate'. If it's simply the preferred translation and not official, you can make an argument for a change. So don't revert again until you've made your case and gotten a staff member's okay on it.

::Sorry, I intended to start this at the bottom, not sure what happened. I didn't realize you were an admin, so I didn't realize that you were actually speaking with authority on this. I thought you were just some random user. Where and how has BP "taken the stance to use 'Gang'", do you mean someone used that, and it caught on? I don't see how such a thing makes "gang" better than "team" or anything else, which are official. Regardless, since this affects more than the Rocket page, where would I have to make my case? Once I have done so, would you be willing to consider it? I also have something related to romanization (Suikun and Serebi) that I would like to discuss, where would I talk about that? Thanks.

:::For romanizations, that's different. The species articles use trademarked spellings of the Japanese names, meaning if they aren't currently romanized the literal way (see the majority—if not all—the Gen 6 pogeys), then they're romanized with trademarks; literal spellings are found instead [[List of Japanese Pokémon names|here]]. Sorry to say, you'll be out of luck on changing the species pages to Suikun and Serebi, since trademarks are official. As for who you would go to over 'dan', I would say starting a new discussion on one of the team pages might do it, if you're going to state your case, but there really isn't any strictly 'one' person to bring it to, since the teams cover multiple media and it's a case of translation. | |||
:::Though for the record, even if I had been a regular user, undoing someone else's undo is the start of an edit war, which I hope you know is a no-no. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 00:25, 14 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
