It was on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. The character in question was Zexion.
Yes, and you could imagine how trivial the tiff was.
The line according to Kingdom Hearts : Re : Chain of Memories (as you can see at 0:34) is "Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus ?"
Now, the line was placed in the article as "Don't I even get a hello, Lexaeus ?" - the 2004 Game Boy Advance version of the game. I thought it would do no harm to update that line, considering that Re : Chain was released in English about a month ago. And so, I did. I changed the word "get" to "warrant", just as it would sound in Re : Chain.
Some hours later, I received an e-mail : the Zexion page had been changed. I went to take a look, and the line had been reverted to "Don't I even get a hello". I thought, maybe this person might not have been aware of the change. So I changed it back to "Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus ?"
Again, within a few hours, the line was reverted.
I changed.
Another user reverted.
And this went on for days !
I went to the Zexion talk page, where people were discussing his character etc., etc., etc. and I put a notice linking to the video, as well as the ORIGINAL Re : Chain line. And soon enough, I found out who had been reverting Zexion's line to "Don't I even get a hello" - so, not to create commotion, I thought I'd confront that person personally. All I did was type a question. The user didn't have the decency to reply me or to even post a message on my talk page - he just removed all that I typed - markup and text and everything that came with it.
(By the way, my talk bubbles are yellow, they have an image of Larxene on the side, and they're signed Troisnyxetienne.)
Looks like now, the issue's been resolved. The Admins are now taking care of that page.
Here's a thought : I come across all types of users - nice ones, snobbish ones, users with language issues (grammar and expletives), but that's all none, I suppose. I especially cannot tolerate people with attitude problems and people who say I have attitude problems - because I know I don't have any. And when I confront someone, I usually do it calmly. If anyone gives me harshness when I give him/her a calm confrontation, I have no regards for that person.
And I believe that by saying this, I make myself clear.

Erk... What a tiff~
Haha. Nevermind, 'warrant' sounds more formal compared to 'get'. What matters is that the meaning remains the same. =)
'Warrant' sounds cooler though. I like it when anime characters speak formally. Nyehehe~
exactement, and I believe Vincent Corazza did pull that line off pretty well. I mean, the Organization XIII is somewhat cold, emotionless and formal - so I guess Zexion followed procedures to the T.
