I've banned you for five minutes so we can discuss this further before you change more of our pages. "Actor" an refer to both male and female performers. "Actress" is considered by some to be sexist. That is why these pages say "actor." --ItsWalky 22:35, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Well I'm not really "in the know" in terms of the industry but I've never seen a case of the term "actress" as sexist. I've never seen any instances of voice actresses being referred to as voice actors beyond this Wiki. I also noticed that only articles done by RolonBolon with no further edits used "actor" instead of "actress" and sort of thought he was maybe using a set template and just forgot to switch actor with actress for the female performers. --76.68.229.189 22:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
While I do use a template, I was under the impression that "actor" was the preferred term for both sexes these days. - RolonBolon 00:02, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I also use "actor" for both sexes in my edits. --ItsWalky 00:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
