Just wondering, when titles that have English titles in the encyclopedia get licensed and the distributor puts out the title under a different English name, what happens to the title that was in the encyclopedia entry? Does it stay or does it go automatically?

I believe it generally stays, unless someone submits an error report.

It gets replaced with the official NA English title as the new main title, and the original English title becomes one of alternative titles. Example.

It stays, but not automatically: we switch it manually upon license announcements.

Fighterholic, you have been extremely active on ANN for the past two years and you've never noticed this? Guess you don't use the Encyclopedia as often as I think.

I hope you take a very good note of this, I have been here for two and a half years, and I use the encyclopedia the way I see fit. I do not break the rules nor do I intend to break them. And there's quite a few things I don't know about the encyclopedia. When I don't know, I bring them to light. I hope this solves your puzzlement here, but be prepared, I may ask something again, like I always have, for the past two years.

Look, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, but it seems that everytime I bring up something you like to bring some kind of criticism on me that makes me look like I'm the dumbest 12 year old in the world. How about letting up for a change?
