user99: I was wondering if we should be doing edits such as https://anime.stackexchange.com/posts/2549/revisions. It only changes 'chakara' to 'chakra' and 'Jiraya' to 'Jiraiya'. I think that we should avoid making edits which only changes romanization, because it can lead to unnecessary ill-feeling, and potentially drive users away if it is done too often. I suggest that when there is no one correct known romanization, let the OP keep what they used. 
Thus, for example, in Naruto, don't change Hyuuga to Hyuga (or vice versa), but changing Peine to Pain is okay, because that name intentionally uses the English word Pain. In your own answer though, use whatever you prefer (or even switch to OP's preference, if you wish). 
No offence meant to Chetter Hummin, who is obviously trying to help. 
EDIT Based on Logan M's answer, I think the example chosen is not a good one, so let me try with something else. Fairy Tail will offer plenty. 

Jellal or Gerard?
Juvia Lockser or Loxar?
Gray or Grey?
Carla or Charle or Sharuru?
Wendy Marvel or Marble?
Ur or Ul?

I respectfully disagree that we should prefer whatever Google search prefers (I know Logan M didn't imply this). Users who read scanlations or watch fansubs are likely to be familiar with one or the other, and I think we should we should be open to everyone. Of course, as mentioned above, if one correct agreed romanization is available, we should use that.

user111: I would like to add something to Logan's answer, which I generally agree with.
If the name can be romanized in different ways, all of which are good, then it should be up to the OP to chose, especially if the ambiguity is about something like r-l sounds, neither of which is "right" or "wrong". So if the OP choses "Ul" over "Ur", it's his right, and suggested edits that try to change this should be rejected. Same goes for the answers. If the question has "Ul", and I prefer "Ur", I will just use it in my own answer, and there is absolutely no need to also try to edit the name in the quesiton itself or other answers.
If, however, one version is generally preferred over the other, or if there is a clear type/misspelling ("Narooto"? xD), then the suggested edits that attempt to fix this should be accepted.

user24: I voted to approve this edit because I saw it as correcting an error, not changing romanization style. If I do a google search for "Chakara" as the OP had written, Google gives me a "Did you mean chakra?" message. I was able to find some locations that spelled it "Chakara" in a Naruto context, but all of them are on forums and every semi-official source spells it "Chakra". I also noted that Chakra is originally written チャクラ in Japanese, which could be romanized as "Chakura" but not "Chakara" in any standard romanization scheme. Assuming Naruto is actually referencing the Hindu concept of Chakra, that also is almost universally spelled Chakra in English, not Chakara. The two would be pronounced fairly differently in Hindi.
I did not pay much attention to "Jiraya" vs "Jiraiya" because I don't know Naruto that well, but a quick Google search again demonstrates that the latter is preferred. Given that his name is written 自来也, it would not be romanized as Jiraya in any standard English romanization scheme (though it could be in some in French and Spanish if I understand correctly).
I agree that we should not be challenging the OP's choice of romanization style without good reason, but I think the case you've pointed to is a case of misspelling, not of differing romanization styles. Correcting spelling is a perfectly valid reason to edit a post, and the editor's explanation for the edit was "corrected spelling".
If the OP wants to switch to a different romanization style for the edited post, I don't think anyone will complain, but it should be spelled properly or else people are perfectly within their rights to edit it. Having lots of posts with poor spelling and grammar reflects poorly on our site. If anyone can provide any source which claims that "Chakara" and "Jiraya" are acceptable styles then I think it's fine to use them, but as far as I can tell "Chakara" is most commonly used to describe a rare marine phenomenon.
