Hello,

I removed the banners from the current YT listings and I don't plan on posting them on future listings or song pages. I already told Dame about this weeks ago, but I forgot about it. I can place the banner in categories instead.

The song listing pages should be a free for all activity- whether a song is translated in any language or simply raw reprint. It can be intimidating and nitpicking for a contributor who simply wants to grab the latest or oldest upload available. However, if there is someone who feels the translation to a linked video is not suitable, they are free to remove the link or replace it.

As I clear up the Youtube listings, there will be an inclusion of Nico Bili, and Cre. it should be known that Bili has its own set of reprinters and translators, so this situation can go both ways. Without someone with knowledge of Chinese / Korean / Spanish, we will never know what was translated correctly or not incorrectly.

I may need to edit the banner as 'recommendations' rather than expecting contributors to follow it to the letter. I think the banner works best on a Vocaloid's article, rather than all over the site. This list is not a policy, it is an informative tutorial, but still not to be taken as final say by this wiki's community. And to reference the introduction of my posting. I'll decide which pages need the banner the most. This can be discussed further, though it is the series pages that will be the focus. I feel these types of song pages require someone who is truly knowledgeable in Japanese.

I respect Dame, so that is why this list is allowed Contributors in general can create a tutorial for this site as along as it is helpful. I feel this list is helpful for those who want to focus on a translation that is accurate as possible.

If you disagree with the listings, please discuss it is a civil manner. Making threats, rants, and insults is no civil.

This list does not insult or hinder anyone from viewing or supporting a certain translator. The Vocaloid Wiki is not demanding anything from you. Instead it is suggesting what contributors could link to if there are those interested in translated songs. However, contributors are free to link whatever reprint they want. It is then up to another contributor to disagree with it.
