There is something I would like to address for a bit. It's something that I have observed recently.

In the Derivatives section in song articles, I have noticed that every cover that uses a voice synthesizer (VOCALOID, UTAU, etc.) have 's beside the voice synthesizer's name in the title part of the Derivatives template. If no one has a clue what I meant, here is an example:

This was copypasted from the article Two of a Kind.

You will notice that there is an 's beside "Hatsune Miku" in the title part of the Derivatives template.

So I kind of have a proposal here. For voice synthesizer covers of songs, let's probably not add 's beside the voice synthesizer's name. In the case of the example I used above, the title would be Hatsune Miku cover instead of Hatsune Miku's cover.

Here are my following reasons for proposing this:
 * Users (most likely newbies to the VOCALOID fandom) will mistake the voice sysnthesizer as the owner of the cover. If you look closely, Hatsune Miku's cover sounds like as if Hatsune Miku is the owner of the cover. But that just doesn't sound really true because (explanation in the second bullet point)
 * Voice synthesizers, whether VOCALOID, UTAU, CeVIO, Alter/Ego, or Chipspeech, do not own any musical tracks since they are just programs. In the case of the cover I used as an example, Hatsune Miku is not the owner of the cover. The owner of the cover is tobio. This is pretty just the same as how VOCALOIDs are not the owners of the songs they sing. Love is War is sung by Hatsune Miku but she does not own it. ryo, the producer of the aforementioned song, does.

And with all that, what do you guys think of my proposal?
