Would it be possible for Mikan Ehime's name to be changed to her real name, Ebata Risa? I know its mentioned on the page, but Mikan Ehime was an alias she used in the past. Since 2007, she has been using her real name for anime works.

She has used a fair number of aliases before sticking to her real name.
JP Wikipedia lists them out quite well: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/江端里沙

小娘 - Komusume
愛媛 みかん - Ehime Mikan
愛姫 みかん - Ehime Mikan, but the hime kanji has been changed.
彩 珠子 - Aya Tamako? I'm not really sure how to read this.
江端 里沙 - Her current name, Ebata Risa.

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning these names on her page, but I thought I'd put it out there.

Could someone provide a proper romanization for 彩 珠子 ?

I can do the rest.

The above-linked Wikipedia article states it is "Tamako SAI" (さい たまこ).

Despite this being marked done, it doesn't seem like the page was updated.

I believe you're right—I changed the thread title's prefix back to "[todo]".

If those other names don't exist I can add them as AKAs. If they exist I cannot merge them though and I can't change the "main" name.
I will have to try and remember when I am on a machine which can display Kanji however....

Mikan Ehime and Risa Ebata both exist and are already linked.
Unless we "break" things, there can only have one kanji name for each.

I've added Tamako Sai as an AKA so that if someone enters any credits with that name they will be added as "under the name of" here rather than as a new person.

I cannot create Komusume as an AKA because someone already exists with that name so would need to be merged.

I saw Chris replying the thread so I thought I should leave it to the big boss as he had chosen to step in personally.

UPDATE: All done.
