Yep. Those guys hit it on the head.
Thanks for bringing it up here. Good call.

After I made an edit in LightNovel.Re Zero, I think I have gotten myself into an edit war of sorts, inadvertently . I mention "inadvertently" because I was removing some audience reactions that were on the work page, so it never occurred to me to check the history page
before clicking "save". So, out of curiousity, I checked it out, and saw that two weeks ago, luisedgarf removed the word "seiyuu" from an example mentioned in Award-Bait Song, and exchanged it with "voice actress", giving the edit reason of "Removing gratuitious Japanese". But three days later, Demongodofchaos 2 reverted it back to "seiyuu" adding that it was "not needed" (he was also the one who originally added the example in the work page, three months ago). I, unfortunately, engaged into this accidentally.
So, here is my question before making the issue more bigger, as I admit this was an accident (and couldn't give an edit reason regarding that change): I assume that the majority of the wiki only uses Anime Fanspeak in anime and manga work pages when it is catalogued as part of a trope (like Otaku Surrogate)... but when there are other terms (and not tropes) that do have an English equivalent, it's preferred to use the English words when redacting examples and descriptions, right? In this case "voice actor" or "voice actors" for "seiyuu".
I don't know where else to discuss this, and I have been trying my best to not get into any kind of edit warring. But once I started to check out the Edit War page, I preferred to bring this out here, because I don't know what else to do. And, admittedly, I'm scared I did something I shouldn't have.
