Long time ago? I suppose....if I had discovered it a long time ago. More like just a week ago but not like that's an issue. But really.....am I being condescending? And this forum is filled with snark-filled people and I'm the one woman that stands out? LOL, If you could be so kind as to show me how the editing is done, and perhaps I'll edit that myself. I didn't want to risk ruining the page format (I've done that with my own websites several times)....and I didn't exactly spot a way to contact the admin which was my original intention.
Heck....didn't even know you were involved. Now that I know you're involved with the site, I'm not sure how much of what I had said would change but I would have formulated my words a tad bit carefully. I say a 'tad' bit because being blunt is just my style that I'm used to. It works for me in RL but the transition to online isn't such a smooth one obviously.
Also shows how much I know about the residents in this place, hon. But of course, no excuse is a good excuse these days, so yeah....maybe I was being a bitch...whatever.

Nah, it's just one possible translation. Unless it's a car name or posted in English on some official booklet, that guess is as good as anyone's.

The manga lists the name as
ファーン - Faan (katakana for フ is the romaji Fa)
Vaan appears as バァーン. so the difference is the フ as opposed to バ.

Oh, definitely. It's so much easier to tell everyone how those wiki editors are all lazy and cannot even check the sources written in a language that has never been even remotely related to their native tongue. But contributing to the wiki yourself? Please. How is that supposed to let you feel smug and superior?

Smug and superior? Wow, that's the first time I've heard that but I almost feel it's a compliment. Considering that's the general attitude I see around here...it usually scares me off. This time...not so much though I admit that my initial sentiments of this place isn't a positive one. Sometimes I can't determine the genders of this place, because almost everyone acts like a emotional distraught irrational woman. But if the ratio of men to women is greater on this Nanoha forum...then wow, that's a surprise.
But if you can instruct a wiki novice like me how to edit, I'd be in your debt eternally, sweetie! Because really, not everyone on this forum is edit savvy even if the edit button is staring them right in their face. Of course to most fans that just means "lurking commoner is incompetent"...it happens. And if it's an apology you want, then I'll concede.
Gotta admit....it's a little hot when a man puts me in my place. I don't get enough of that these days considering I've been sometimes batting for the other team but wow! When a woman does it, it's just a cat fight LOL
