{{KrytenKoro|Okay, I had a chance to look at the threads during lunch, and they seem to be mostly the same fluff as there's always been, for any wiki.
Can someone post to the same thread (I can't do it at work), the following:
"If you have examples of misinformation that you can back up with sources, ''especially'' if we are claiming something contradicted by Nomura, please leave a message on the appropriate talk page and we will look into it.
As regards "somebody"—the way that our wiki is coded, we ''do'' need a categorization to input. As we attempted to explain (while losing our temper, we admit), these should not be visible to casual readers, and the term is ''not'' made-up, it is taken from multiple quotes which each define it as meaning the type of being we need it to mean. We are aware, though, that the term has not been made explicitly official, which is why we have endeavored to keep it hidden and use it for maintenance purposes only. If it is used in a place that it is visible to readers, that is ''not'' how we have meant to use it, and that needs to be cleaned up."
...anyway. I highly, ''highly'' doubt that they will notify us of errors, even if they can collect the sources, because, come on, gamefaqs. They hate basically everything there.
To us, though: '''''are''''' we using "Somebody" in any place where it is visible and could come off as claiming it as an official term? I'm absolutely certain we never use it in actual text, but does it appear anywhere beyond categories and inputs? If so, it would be possible to both use the "Other" specified above, or create a quick disclaimer template which states something like "'Somebody' is used here to refer to a complete person with a heart, mind, and soul. 'Somebody' is not the official term for this type of being, but is used within several quotes to informally refer to it. It should not be taken as a canon, official term."}}
