I've already posted on here before, regarding the fact that Melissa Fahn is primarily listed as Melissa Charles (1183). The last time I asked, I was told that it's picked based on the number of credits under each name... As of right now, Melissa Charles has 24 credits and Melissa Fahn has 21 (Her one staff credit is incorrect and should be listed as Melissa Fahn, but no one has responded to my error report about that) and seeing as her name IS Melissa Fahn and the name Melissa Charles hasn't been used in any RECENTLY released anime and she's been doing all of her work (at least recently) under the name Melissa Fahn... as well as how close the numbers are for the credits... Is it at all possible for her listing to be changed to Melissa Fahn? I run a fansite that Melissa endorses and I'm not allowed (by her request) to link to ANN unless the primary listing is "Melissa Fahn"... so wouldn't it be best overall to just change the primary listing? I know this topic comes up all the time, and I'm sorry for taking up anyone's time if this is a lost cause but... Just in case, I thought I'd bring this up.

Thanks and Cheers,
Jax

Melissa Fahn should be the main entry she is credited under since after all that is her real name (just going with the name with the most credits is a bad idea IMHO). Hopefully it is still possible to fix the problem.

Unfortunately, it's not open for anyone but the people who edit the site to change that. It would be a lot better for her to be listed as Melissa Fahn though... she hasn't done any new work under names other than Melissa Fahn.

However, it looks like no one's taking to that idea.

Same for Yukana. However, even I couldn't change them. Only admins could do that.
