Until the problems with the guys at VO, we used to use them as a source too, e broke off using them because of the issues that occured before. Its not like were tryng to single the western side out; as I said before we cover more on all Vocaloids then most sites do in the vocaloid fandom. As for putting Japanesee thought, the closet we done is try to educate people on how the Vocalod culture came about and what certain Producers rules ont heir work is or what the Japanese fandom regulates their songs and stuff like this. Most of this is stuff people generally don't know. At the time of working in 2010 when I firt came here, even then, there was more to write about the Japanese fandom then western one. The western fandom is still finding its footing.

I honestly don't know where some folks get their ideas from, though I'd love to see that tumblr page as out of curiousity to see where that wikia got to. I don't mind the idea of compeition as it just means I have to make sure this wikia is better then that one. overall the entire Wikai has done fairly well as a collective on that grounds.

Also, they can set up another wikia, but the trouble is they've got to avoid directly copying this one. Even though the information we hold is not copyrighted, a direct C and P of our wikia IS a breakage of terms. I really don't care if people set up another wikia, it takes a lot of time and effort to correctly set one up, regulation and pouring new ideas in. Plus people tend to flock here already since it comes up before any other wikia on search engines. Though I have no doubt people will just steal the research notes I've put up anyway... If you want to know why I often don't bother with url information and just write "link", its to make people work out why I referenced that page. If your going to steal my sources, I'm gonna make you work for your beans! >:-D

Vocaloidism used to have a wikia... They didn't maintain it and it fell apart, I tried to use this wikia to support it at one stage when I was here early on but it was already too little too late. Lots of people talk about setting up wikias, heck, when I was with the One Piece wikia someone tried to do it and failed. Its possible for more then one wikia to exist on a subject, however, the dominaint one will consume the readers of the lesser popular one.

I nmean it took us 2 years to get to this point. :-/
