You can revert immediately in this case, as this matter has already been discussed. His edit amounts to vandalism, which is always revertable. Especially if he's made the edit before.

Just make sure to leave a clear edit reason that you're reverting per (protracted) discussion.

The actual discussion page only has posts by me. Unless you're referring to the previous times it's come up here in ATT?

Yes, ATT. I remember it coming up and the answer really is quite clear-cut: we go by names in the official translation.

Just wait for a mod to take action (or PM one if they don't).

Technically, Schonberg did not edit war because it's the first time they made that change to the article. The user who previously tried to change the names is entirely different. Suspending them does not seem like a reasonable response, but please do revert the article.

Will do. There hasn't been an edit war in this case yet, you're right about that. Last time I pm'ed the troper who said they hadn't realized we preferred English names, so it was pretty much no harm no foul and I reverted it then.

But the potential is there as edit wars have happened over it before. That's one reason I've been walking on eggshells, I've lurked the edit/banned thread enough to not want to end up there if I can help it.

Reversion done with the following edit reason

Per multiple prior discussions of this issue and per English translation preference in How to Create a Work's Page, reverting back to official English names

Sorry for double post, mobile site doesn't have an edit button for replies.

We will very rarely suspend for reverting an article to a state that is compliant with the rules as long as you've made a bona fide attempt to resolve the issue and have not been uncivil.

I usually try to be courteous. At worst I worry about coming off condescending or similar.
