Changing name to "The Boss of the Black Organization" from "Anokata"
I've been thinking about the page name since I am planning to feature this article, and I think it would make more sense to rename this page "The Boss of the Black Organization". It's a bit long (redirects will help), but it is more descriptive than "ano kata". "The Boss of the Black Organization" can't be mistaken for the Magic Kaito Organization's boss who is also called "ano kata" or "the boss". Someone who doesn't know much about the series or doesn't remember the Japanese term will have an easier time searching for "the boss". Across the rest of the wiki, using the brief "the Boss" instead of "The Boss of the Black Organization" makes the most sense, unless referring to someone speaking about the boss and using "ano kata" is more appropriate.
If you or someone else objects to the renaming, you are free to change it back and start a discussion about it here per Wikipedia style BOLD protocol. I'm doing it this way because usually these talk page discussions rarely get anything done or generate much attention unless something is changed that people care about. Some discussions have been hanging for months to years without decisions one way or the other. Chekhov MacGuffin talk 17:11, 3 February 2013 (PST)
Phone number vs mail address
In researching an IP's edit, I looked up the official term used. In File 475 page 3 middle left panel and page 4 top panel, Conan used the term: "ボス の メールアドレス" (Literally boss's mail address). I'm not sure whether this should be translated as phone number or email address because it looks like a phone number rather than an email and various Conan promotionals in Japan advertised calling a phone number like you were calling the boss.
