editPermission requested from Linkforlife to dispute his latest revision to the page. If you will kindly direct your attention to this screenshot, you will see that the filename is clearly labelled "sergei.html". What do you suggest we do about that bit of information? --Warp L.

Oooh, the filename. I was looking at the image. Well, you're right, but I also don't see the relevance of that, as the image says Sergay. Linkforlife 12:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
The fact that an official material (as a material produced by the company itself must be) uses such a translation is a suggestion as to the canonicity of its usage. Furthermore, the MO official site has been updated in recent times. It has been perfectly within the ability of the webmaster to correct the error if it was one. The fact that it is not shows that it is accepted in some way. Besides, it serves as a (trivial) note as to a possible alternate translation, much like with the one about his (and Nina's) surname. --Warp L. Obscura 14:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm not going to argue with you, because everything you say is correct. If you feel it needs to be reverted, please do so. I personally think it is just a bit unnecessary, since the official translation is Sergay. Linkforlife 17:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. So, do you have any suggestions on how I could rephrase it so as to avoid future misunderstandings in the same vein? --Warp L. Obscura 02:41, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I would just add 'Sergei' to the area where it says 'alternate translation is Wong'. So it says 'an alternate translation is Sergei Wong' or something to that effect. Linkforlife 17:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
The thing is that the two alternates are not always used together. So you could have Sergay Wáng, Sergei Wáng, Sergay Wong, Sergei Wáng... You get what I mean? How do we resolve that? --Warp L. Obscura 03:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- Read Wang (surname). Why they chose "Sergay" rather than "Sergei" I don't know, but it's on the official site, the artbook and onscreen so Sergay Wáng it is, no matter that fansubbers etc. may say (and remember Doremi refused to use Meister until it was actually printed on screen).

Fair use rationale for Image:MyOtome-ep11.jpg
editImage:MyOtome-ep11.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
