Masaaki Endoh is listed in your encyclopedia as Masaaki Endou. The official ramanized spelling of his name on all his CDs, official sites, etc is with an "h", not a "u" at the end.

Also, the site listed in the entry as his official site is outdated.
The current site is: http://www.solidvox.jp/artist/endoh.php
His official blog is at: http://www.endoh-masaaki.com/

peace

Hi, Dessa ^-^

Suprised to see me? Razz
Hey, what's the general turn-around time here for mistakes being reported and checked up on? I'd never tried it before yesterday.

It depends on the type of error generally. Some errors are much easier to fix than others. Bad links and blatant spam are the easiest things to fix/remove. Removing incorrect info takes longer since it may take time to be verified. Tasks like directly editing, (which includes typos), adding anime/manga, and merging entries are things that not all Encyclopedia staff have permission to do, so they may take the longest if not all staff are available. Will have to wait for another staff to edit his name, but I can add those websites and remove the old one.

Also, we do have an "error report" button if you were not aware of it.

It's at the bottom of the page right below the "disclaimer".

I saw the button and used it a couple times regarding other errors on the Yoshiki Fukuyama listing. (Fukuyama-san is the one I have the most info on...)

I came to the forums because when I tried to use it to report the name spelling error, it gave me choices for reporting on everything except the name of the article.

I imagine since it is the actual article name, and thereby connected to everything else referring back to it, it may take a while to fix, eh. Thank you for responding to my message and getting on the links issue. ^-^

It's a bit tricky since an animator has the same name, but it has been fixed now.
