- Male characters voiced by women = This is (a group of characters) voiced by (a group of actors).
- Male characters voiced by a woman = This is (a group of characters) voiced by (the same woman).
Both are grammatically correct, but mean different things correct? - Quolnok 05:17, 7 August 2011 (CEST)
- This is just me, but when I read "male characters voiced by women", it sounds plural, which would fit the plural nature of a category. "Male characters voiced by a woman", while grammatically correct, sounds a little mismatched. -- DeepSpaceHomer 05:24, 7 August 2011 (CEST)

Actually, the way the category is currently named, and described, it means that the individual character was voiced by multiple people of the gender in question
I misspoke, what I described was the old way. The current way is that each character was voiced by one person of the gender in question. That doesn't mean it's the same person, just A woman, for example
