I hate to spamming new thread for the same topic but I do not have a choice.

As I said in the last thread. If it is already settled that everything goes with romaji. I see no reason 甲 should go with "A".

Apparently 甲 does not reads as "A", right, Mr./Ms. swift-thread-closer?

There was a very good reason why your former thread was closed and now I shall temporarily leave this one open for now but delete your latter thread.

The reason was because we have had lengthy discussions over the naming proposals to various entities in the game. Even long after we have had such lengthy discussions over the various naming, people (the public) could not agree on:
 * the finalised naming
 * the finalisation for discussions with regards to the chosen naming conventions.

There were reasons for this:
 * lack of public interest on the said topics
 * everyone had various ways to translate/transliterate things.
 * the people who has to go about making changes physically are sick and tired of having to listen to the public before and after the change(s). Notably because the public couldn't:
 * create their own version somewhere else on the wiki, or
 * create their own wiki, or
 * doesn't know how to look for other ways to preserve a layout that they were content with, or
 * stop being lazy until changes have been finalised that it irate them so much that they have to complain about it.

Because of your persistence with this discussion, I am now going to edit this post to include the various historical conflicts that the KC wikia maintainers have had over getting the public to agree on something. This goes in addition to the two former links in which I have mentioned on this previously closed thread which I am sure you probably haven't read in detail to notice how lengthy it was. I will be doing this not only for your sake, but hopefully for the rest of those who wants to make suggestions to things that has already been agreed upon ages ago. Maybe it was a good reason, which I do not like to shift the topic to, I was not given the reason when I come back trying to continue on the discussion I started. And if trying to make ONE reply to the thread is notably persistent, I guess I am persistent on the topic.

I do have one solution for your seemingly biggest problem: * the people who has to go about making changes physically are sick and tired of having to listen to the public before and after the change(s)... which is setting a rule that anyone starts a discussion on naming is obligated to go make all the changes and maintain the naming if his/her proposal is accepted, failing to make the commitment beforehand voids the discussion.

I do appreciate you posting two links about the discussion on Kai and Kai Ni, and I do respect the decisions that have been finalized by the community. I apologize and will stop immediately if similar discussion has also been made over the translation of "甲" and "乙". Otherwise, I do think that "一二三四" iterates to 1234 a lot more than 甲乙丙丁 iterates to ABCD. If we use romaji for "一二三四", mix in ABCD does not make any sense.
