1. A poll where we can't even see who voted, let alone why, is not really a basis for any change on the wiki. We very rarely make anonymous polls - usually only when our editorbase is conflicted about a decision or when something greatly affects the wiki's readers, prompting a need to gauge public opinion. In most other cases, we only count votes when it's clear who voted (i.e., either on Discord where voters are listed, or forum comments, rather than anonymous polls). One of the biggest issue here is that your one and sole argument for changing the infobox image is "Because it's anime!", which basically holds no value on the wiki. As I've mentioned before, we don't decide infobox images based on where it comes from; we decide them based on what best represents the character. The only reason that we use primarily (but not only) anime images is because most light novel and manga illustrations are not coloured (if an illustration of the character exists at all), giving anime screenshots the advantage, and because anime screenshots are easier to standardise. However, not all of our pages use anime images even when an anime screenshot is available; that's not limited to Eugeo. PoH and Johnny Black, for example, still use light novel illustrations for their infobox image 7 years after the first season aired (because the light novel version gives a clearer image of them).

However, Eugeo's LN illustration is both coloured and looks pretty good, which is why we hadn't changed it for this long. The only valid reason I see for changing Eugeo's picture is the fact that the LN illustration depicts him as blue-eyed due to abec's colour fuckups. That's really the only valid argument I see for pushing for an anime image for the guy. However, if we are going to change the picture to an anime one, it would be best to have several different variants to choose from and then decide on the best one. I'll try to gather some options and hold a vote on Discord at the end of the week. If you want to help with that, feel free to look for some alternative options yourself and notify me of the timestamp for the episode.

2. Dub actors can be added at any time (though not many of us watch the dub, which is why this has been left unattended for so long), as long as they are properly sourced. We've had cases of people adding unsubstantiated guesswork regarding dub actors (which turned out to be utter bullshit in the end), which is why sourcing is now mandatory. The official site, episode credits, official trailers, voice actor statements from their official accounts etc. are all valid (though official sites and episode credits are preferred for better reliability). Third party sites like Anime News Network or any other news site/blog/wikipedia/whatever are not valid sources.
