Videos/screenshots if in-game content are acceptable as references, actually. Seeing as it's hard to reference stuff otherwise, though Haffen apparently didn't get the memo. However, more context on the scene would of course be preferred, so that it could be easier to find it in-game.

On the other hand, allow me to disagree with your opinion on naming. Just because something is an "OFFICIAL LOCALIZATION" does not mean that it is an official translation. Your example is not quite adequate, since it's like arguing that "ji" is the only valid romanisation of じ just because that's the system of romanisation that English speakers are more familiar with, when there's actually at least 3 romanisation systems, of which two romanise it as "zi", and some people even use this romanisation to spell their name in the western alphabet (e.g., Kouzi instead of Kouji). Moreover, the "OFFICIAL LOCALIZATION" frequently takes the localisation too far, such as completely changing the names of certain skills and items. For example, Kirito's original ALO sword is called "Black Plate" in the Japanese version, but it was renamed to "The Monolith" in the localised English version. However, there are several issues with such a localisation change. For starters, just because you change the name in a localisation does not mean you actually change what naming is used in-universe - it'll still be known as "Black Plate" in-universe and any derivative works. Another problem is consistency - just because Bandai decided to rename the sword to "The Monolith" in one game doesn't mean that such a rename will carry over to localisations of other games (and as far as I've heard, that may be the case with Memory Defrag, where I've heard the sword is still called "). That's why on this wiki we prefer to use terminology used by the Japanese side, rather than any localisations. And in the case of Afasys/ArFA-sys, we don't ignore the latter version, we just provide it as the alternative rather than official one unless we get a confirmation that Afasys was an error on the Japanese side that people overlooked.

On a side note, if you disagree with something, we are open to discussion, if you can provide reasonable arguments to counter ours, but ranting isn't very productive.
