Fairy Tail Wiki talk:Name Spellings

Well now hold on a sec. Mashima-sensei has made numerous trips to the US through Del Ray, and the volumes state that those were the official spellings chosen by him. Shouldn't the Wiki go with those rather than what's most common in the fandom? Even though they're more common, they're wrong. I honestly can't say that KEFI scans or Franky House know more than the actual creator of the series on how to name his characters. Remember that scanlators go with whatever they believe to be correct--they're romanizations based on the idea of some random person. -Mr. Toto 13:48, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you, I have a volume that says too, but we reached a consensus before about it. But consensuses can easily change. Dalyup! 15:42, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Well he names of characters can be said in many different ways, until someone can get evidence that he says Laxus or Mystogan we usually keep them this way -Umi

They are used in the Del Ray serialisation of the manga which can be taken to be true due to a message in the volumes that can be seen here. I can't take a physical photo because I don't have a camera to do so. Dalyup! 20:54, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Aside from that, I don't know if you guys realize that most scanlations are done by college students. The translator for KEFI, Ocean, just went with whatever he thought sounded good. This is cited information--you can't just decide what's in the English version is wrong because you think it is. It's what the creator went with himself.-Mr. Toto 17:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Says who? How do you know they are not like Viz who makes up crap? Drunk Samurai 18:37, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
