Excuse me, but I will really have to protest them saying I am somehow incapable of editing anything else or that I am vandalizing things. I have edited lots and lots of different things on Eva wikis over the years and shipping involves maybe 10% of it. I also made contributions to the AsuShin page and created the ReiShin page, even though I do not care much for it but it is certainly relevant enough in the anime and the fandom. I will not argue much on the points specifically presented, not to mention the basis on some plainly wrong old fansubs, but perhaps a ship supporting tumblr page is not the most impartial or complete of sources and minimal fact checking or understanding of Japanese puts much of that into doubt, even though most of the page is just arguing for subjective interpretations (and omitting a whole lot). You will easily find similar arguments on pages preferring AsuShin or ReiShin or other ships.

This shipping war was noted in the Eva articles long before I made any edits. Although naturally supporters of a given ship will defend it as canon, Evangelion in general is noted for its ambiguous and open ended nature, something heavily defended by its creators and opinions greatly vary thoroghout the fandom in general.

One of many, many examples. You can see it is hardly difficult to find mountains of Evangelion translated material, though I should mention that in the case of Kawoshin supporters these are often disconsidered, as many times I have seen them claim they are being mistranslated or faked as part of a conspiracy to downplay Kawoshin and that the wiki and its associated 15-year old forums spread "AsuShin propaganda". Certainly as an admin of a shipping wiki you have seen similar behaviours in other shipping wars.
