I've wanted to know for a while now, primarily because Belobog's article was changed to Whiskers. Belobog actually debuted before his alias as Whisker in [[Shin Megami Tensei II]]. I want to correct Belobog's article namiing. [[User:GalaxiaWild|GalaxiaWild]] 16:02, July 21, 2010 (UTC) |

If you're wondering why the article name was changed, it was to match the official english name (with it's only english appearance being in 'DemiKids', as 'Whiskers'). The Manual of Style on the wiki asks for english names to be used first, and only Japanese names if there are no english ones.
