Anything can end up here, its just you can't really add it yourself, that is just the rule.

There are several reasons;
 * 1) Protects the producer from accusations about advertisement
 * 2) protects from spam
 * 3) Gives editors a break to check over things
 * 4) Stops us becoming a giant ad space for any producer

The rules really need to be refined at some point, but early on something had to be done because when I was bureaucrat I noted how open to abuse our wikia was. You can make edits and correct information as you please, we just are fully aware of the bad habits of some producers.

Furthermore, producers shouldn't be using us as a ad space as we appeal to only a select few. Chances are, the work will go unnoticed here since everyone is looking other more popular songs. In short, we're more about supporting and promoting the actual Vocaloid software then we are about promotion of producers to be fair. This is why our front page focuses on the Vocaloids themselves.

Again, this was an early decision because we needed a place to start and a focus overall on the wikia. Not only that but at the time the confusion on what Vocaloids were was much worst then it is now and unless we focused on the software we risked causing fans to be led astray. From that moment onwards, the wikia was going to be built around that one goal purely. Sadly lyrics and producers below that. As for why the lyrics and producers pages came where they were... Anyone can call themselves a "producer" and anyone can make a song, but there are only amount of software they can use for it. :-/

Don't take offence to any of our policys, note though... It does not prevent discussion of songs, nor editing blogs and user pages. It just applies to the wikia itself. Naturally if you blogged everyday with a half-assed song, then after a while you'll get *questions*, ditto the same for the forum discussions. But those areas are mostly because they can get spammed. User pages are introductions to an editor and are basically your place to tell everyone who you are. If you call yourself a producer, then yeah... Your allowed to set up links to your accounts and stuff on there (though producer pages will cover the need for song listing).

In short... A lot of this is as much for our benefits as yours. But we're not as strict as many may think on the subject.
