Electric Angel Kagamine Version
Hey,

I read your comment on the Electric Angel page, and since it is a complete rearrangement and has a lot of views, especially on NN (around 650,000+ right now) it would be a good idea to add it I think. But maybe we should put it on a different part of the page? Like the Vocaloid Wiki does with derivatives? Otherwise it might lead to confusion. And in this way we can also add other covers to the page and such.

I do think we should ask Rachinaf about it to see if they're okay with it, though. And we'll have to figure out how to do it and such. But I'm in favour of the idea.

RandomVocaloidLover (talk) 07:35, May 30, 2015 (UTC)

I'm with you on the multiple tab method: it would only work if we just have one or two other version. So that might not be the best way to list covers.

The External Links method should be the easiest to use, but it may end up looking very messy. But we would just have to try that out.

A compact layout does look neater IMHO, but we would have to make it and such which might be difficult since I still don't know anything about making templates orz.

Vocaloid Wikia actually does have a criterion for adding covers, but I'm not sure if it's always respected orz: ''Any derivative listed must show some effort, either in the tuning or in the video. It may not be perfect, but it should be obvious the derivative author did his/her best with it. So basically, if a derivative is really, obviously low-quality, do not list it.''

Limiting it the amount of covers on a page by using viewcount might also not be a good idea, since some pretty low-quality (just slapping the VSQ on it and not editing anything else) covers have around 100K+ views on YT orz. And only using other versions might cause us to skip over some really good covers, which would be a shame IMO.

If we're going to include covers, I do think we should include human, human/vocaloid and UTAU covers if they're notable/good enough to be listed on the page.

So in conclusion I'm not really sure what the criteria should be orz.

Also I haven't really bought this up yet and might just be stating the obvious right now, but if we're going to add covers on a page, I don't think we should use the "VOCALOID original songs" category to list the VOCALOIDs used in the covers since it's not the original work and not a cover by the author of the song itself.

And maybe we should also decide if adding different version is compulsory for page or not.

About colouring the lyrics
Hey ElectricRaichu,

I noticed that you don't really like adding colour to the lyrics, so I thought that maybe using this code would help a bit:

style="color:white;"

If you put this code above a line like this:

It will appear like this:

Hope this makes adding colour a bit faster ;).

Re: Naming Policy for non-English words?
Hey,

I thought it was derived from English. My bad orz. I guess if it's derived from Dutch we should just put the Dutch title there ((シロップ (Siroop) instead of シロップ (Syrup)), since that's what it says in the guidelines (''The exceptions are song titles with Katakana in them. When katakana is present, you the title should be as followed: "Japanese katakana (Translated language)". Usually the language is English, but French, Spanish, or German titles are not uncommon either.'').

Re: Two songs with same name
No problem, I'm here to help. It depends on the exact name of the song. For example, let's say the song has the name "Heart". If there is another song with that exact same name, the new page and the old page should both have the "TITLE/PRODUCER" type of title. However, if the page for "Heart" was only a redirect to for example these pages, the new page that you're trying to make should just be named "Heart" (not "Heart/PRODUCER"), and the redirect should therefore be made into a song page. I hope this answers your question. If it doesn't, feel free to message me again. Also, I have a question myself: should I add a note about this in the guideline?

Have a nice day.

Amandelen (talk) 16:02, September 30, 2016 (UTC)

In that case, the first "Heart" page should be renamed to "Heart/Fred-P". Thank you for clarifying your question, I guess I didn't really get it the first time. Also, thank you for answering my question, I'll try to clarify this in the guidelines.

Have a nice day.

Re: innisfree
Thank you for adding the category, I'll create the redirect =).

Amandelen (talk) 15:08, November 29, 2016 (UTC)

I think I found how to make pages to be written in lower case - it's using DISPLAYTITLE template in the first line of the page, like in lying page. It works, but the page itself is still listed in categories and in search bar with upper case.

Nefere (talk) 11:08, December 3, 2016 (UTC)

Hey ElectricRaichu,

Like Nefere said, using the display template is what works best. I don't think it works for categories as categories cannot begin with a lower-case letter. I'll add a note about the DISPLAYTITLE template to the Song Article Guideline later.

Romanizing Japanese language
Hello, ElectricRaichu. I have a question: Can you also romanize Japanese language as well?

10:59, September 25, 2017 (UTC) ​ 10:59, September 25, 2017 (UTC) ​


 * By Romanize, I mean like this: 大好き --> daisuki. Yeah. That's what I meant. (I think Romanize may not be the term here. I may have used the wrong term.)

Re: Archiving old talk page content
I'll try to write a step to step guide. If anything remains unclear feel free to message me again!

You can also write your own, but I prefer to just copy-paste it.
 * 1) Make a new page called Talk:USER NAME/Archive 1 (so in your case Talk:ElectricRaichu/Archive 1).
 * 2) Copy-paste this message on top of the new page: This is an archive of past discussions. Please do not edit the content of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on my current talk page.
 * 1) Cut and paste the content from your talk page that you want removed into the new page.
 * 2) Put a link to the archive page on top of your talk page. I personally use this layout: Past conversations: 1.
 * 3) Publish both pages

That's about all there is to it. I hope this answers your question. Have a nice day =).

Continuation from yesterday's short conversation
Yeah. Sort of. Like in case I created an article of a Japanese song here but I could not find any Romaji (especially a reliable one) transliteration, for the song, would it be okay if I asked for your help in this?

Re: Step By Step
Hello,

The disambiguation page looks good. I didn't find any mistakes. I've also fixed the broken producer link by making a redirect with that name. I'm not really sure if something went wrong or if a redirect just hadn't been made yet, but at least it's fixed now.

Have a nice day!

Re: 両想い (Ryouomoi)
Hello,

I checked the lyrics for 両想い (Ryouomoi). I found some small mistakes which I corrected. I'm also not entirely sure if "聞" in "言わせて！ （聞かせて！）" is the correct kanji, since the kanji used in that part of the video is hard to read for me. However, I can't find any kanji that would be pronounced as "き" in this context that looked closer to it so I'm assuming it's correct.

Also, thank you for notifying me about the strange edit. I've undone it.

RE RE Translator XD
That would be really cool!I have a translation on durmaturgy waitig for approval, other than that, any major translations are on my blog, so it would be great if I could get people's opinions on that, touh it up, then get those up, because they are translations people have been asking for. As for beikg better at Japanese, who knows? I was really impressed with your Japanese skills as well. Using Japanese culture and language, I would say いえ、それ程でもwww

Re: Jack and the Candy Devil
Hey ElectricRaichu,

Thank you for your message! I'm glad that your internet is working again. I hope that everything worked out in the end for your new car as well.

On to the page. I checked it. It looks good overall; I only corrected some small mistakes. A small note for "蝋燭火" (since it's the biggest change), I'm quite sure that a "ひ" sound was used instead of a "び" sound for the "火" kanji (I even compared it to other parts of the song where phonemes with b/h were used), so I changed "rōsokubi" to "rōsoku hi".

Have a nice day =).

Amandelen (talk) 14:41, December 11, 2017 (UTC)

I checked that part a few times just now. It really sounds like "hora" to me (plus I don't hear an n-sound and I would assume that the producer would use that if it was meant to say "come on"). Hope that helps.

Re: Top of the World 10th live mix
Hello,

I've added the tabber. If you use source mode here's an explanation on how to add a tabber. A quick summary of the code would be:

NAME TAB 1 = content here NAME TAB 2 = content here

I tried to find out how you can add it in the Classic text-rich editor but I couldn't find anything on that unfortunately (nor could I figure it out when I tried the editor myself).

Have a nice day =).

Re: Angelica producer
Hello,

I couldn't find any of their songs on here, so I don't think there is a category for them yet either.

For me it says that the YouTube video was uploaded on 15.2.2018 and that both the NND and piapro upload were uploaded on 2.16.2018. If you have other dates, I'm assuming it's some kind of timezone thing.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day =).

Amandelen (talk) 10:01, March 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah I added it to VocaDB. It wasn't there yet and it's quite easy to add songs there so I figured I might as well. Amandelen (talk) 09:06, March 12, 2018 (UTC)

snobbism
Sorry, don't mean to bug you; just wanted to double-check and see if you saw my comment on the SNOBBISM page. No rush to check the lyrics, just figured I'd drop a line and make sure it didn't get lost :p

Tamumumu (talk) 10:06, March 26, 2018 (UTC)

Hey, thank you so much for going out of your way to add your suggestions; they were incredibly helpful and I updated the translation to reflect them. I'll edit the translation on the wiki a bit later with the changes. Much appreciated (/・ω・)/

Re: Sentimental_Journey
I've checked the transcribed lyrics. There were some kanij missing (which I've added now), but other than that I found no mistakes. I've also added a DISPLAYTITLE template so the title should show up correctly now. Have a nice day =). Amandelen (talk) 09:58, March 28, 2018 (UTC)

Tautology
Hey, I translated Tautology Doubtful with a friend, but the kanji usage is so irregular and the meaning of the lyrics is kind of lost on me, so it'd be appreciated if you could take some time out of your day and review it, maybe? https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vT6qdgMub2U27S9RVIQd3uEi6nzzhFl_6ecoR-DL51DX7R04TAPzR9HLaYPS1Of1wruV7bi6Hf6srB8/pub edit: This is, like, two months late, wow.

Re: Search problems
Hello,

"Yumemiru Dreamer" wasn't a redirect yet, so that should be fixed now at least. I'm not sure why it isn't the first result when you search for "夢見るドリーマー" though orz (although I have made a redirect now for that too). It does seem to show up as the first result after you hit enter (at least it did for me), so it might just be an issue with the drop down menu. On other wikias which also use a lot of Japanese/Chinese/etc. in their titles, the search bar seems to function normally, so it's probably a good idea to at least ask about it. Amandelen (talk) 12:08, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: Never mind that last part. I tested the search bars on other wikias a bit more and they have the exact same problem. I think it's due to the fact that we have so much pages which start with similar characters which causes it. We could still ask about it, but if it's a problem on multiple wikias they're probably already looking into it. Amandelen (talk) 12:27, April 24, 2018 (UTC)

Reply
Yes, it's not working (idk if it's one of YT's weird updates or my browser but it just shows a black vid and an exclamation point and it doesn't say whether it's deleted or if it's just something like 'not available in your country' type of thing)~Raine

Translation Help
Hey ElectricRaichu, thanks for replying to my forum post. I've been workshopping some translations and was wondering if you wouldn't mid giving them a look over. They're all posted beneath the Blog section. I left a similar message on the forum, and if you have already read it, I'm sorry for the spam :/ I need to learn to be more patient.

Vaffisuco (talk) 00:23, May 10, 2018 (UTC)Vaffisuco


 * Yeah I replied on your talk page. I'm a bit crook today so when I'm over it I'll be happy to help. Could you format the translation so that it's indented to make it easier to read, like this?


 * 日本語 日本語 日本語
 * English English English
 * 日本語 日本語 日本語
 * English English English
 * ElectricRaichu (talk) 00:31, May 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh, of course! Sorry about that!
 * Vaffisuco (talk) 20:41, May 10, 2018 (UTC)Vaffisuco

Don't feel bad about it! When you're sick you're sick, and that's final lol. I've posted all of my tentative translations onto my blog, so feel free to look through those whenever you're in the mood.

The biggest headscratcher so far is the opening line to Lady Face by TaKa


 * 微熱混じり 扉開いてみせて？


 * Feverishly entangled, should I open that door?

The form used here is ~てみせる which is a sentence structure that usually has a 'I'll show you!' type of mentality. Against all of the odds, or disregarding the inplausability of success, one will do their best and prove them wrong. I've never seen this structure in a sentence before, and am curious as to what that could mean, or if it drastically changes the tone/meaning of the grammar pattern itself.

Any inputs would be greately appreciated!

Re: Tsuki no Shizuku
Hello,

It's really hard to make out. It sounds like "つ" or "す" to me, but I'm not entirely sure which one it is (and I can't find a pronounciation with う in it for this kanji either...). Sorry I can't really help... It might be a good idea to ask Damesukekun or the producer.

Candy and Chains Translation Help
Hi, thanks for looking over Lady Face by TaKa earlier. It helped out a lot!

This line in particular trips me up: 胸を締める鎖が愛しくて which I translated as 'the chains squeezing around my heart are pitiful' but 愛しい can either mean 'beloved/precious' or 'pitiful' and I am not quite sure which context this word is using. Full tentative translation can be found on my blog.

Thank you so much!

Re: Is it a perfect world?
Hello,

I agree with you. I did change "reprint" to "authorized reprint" (since that's basically what it is) so other editors also know the reprint shouldn't be removed.

Also, this is kind of out of the blue, but have you considered doing a request for adminship? You help around a lot so I thought I'd be a good idea to give you the status of Admin. Just a thought though, please don't feel pressured to do it if you don't want to.

Have a nice day =).

Amandelen (talk) 15:47, June 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Oh wow! One thing, I'm a bit worried that I'm not very Wikia savvy, like I wouldn't be able to help much with technical things to do with Wikia. Of course I could learn, but I'd rather focus my attention on translating which is something I can do that not many others can. Would that be a problem if I became an admin? ElectricRaichu (talk) 00:58, June 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's much of a problem. Being an admin isn't about being good with coding and such. It's of course handy if you know much about it, but it's not a requirement. Also, if someone does come to you with technical things, you could always redirect them to me. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them. Amandelen (talk) 13:53, June 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * So what's the process? Do you just wave a wand, or do I have to do something, or do the other users need to agree? ElectricRaichu (talk) 21:46, June 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Do you remember CCyclone's request for adminship? It'll go like that. Basically you file a request for adminship here and make a short thread about it (like this one). I've made a guide before, so I'll just copy-paste it here:


 * Here's a quick guide on how to start a RfA. If you want to try to become an admin, it is essential that you do an RfA.


 * The general layout of an RfA is this:

===({USERNAME})=== {MESSAGE FROM NOMINEE HERE}

Opposing

 * As a nominee, you only have to fill in the parts between brackets (these ones: {}). The other parts of the form will be filled out by other users as per the rules which are stated above. When you are done, you can post this part under Request for Adminship. Please be careful to use source mode if you directly copy-paste it, otherwise it won't show up correctly. Also, don't overwrite someone else's RfA/RfB. If someone else is doing an RfA already, please post yours under it.


 * To notify other users that you are doing an RfA, please make a forum post such as this to promote it. I'll highlight it to make sure that other users will get a notification. It would be nice if you could shoot me a quick message with a link to your forum post so I don't miss it accidentally, but it is not required. Also keep in mind that I live in western Europe, so I may be in a different timezone than you which could cause a delay. Lastly, I will only highlight the first thread for your RfA which you make. If you make more I won't highlight them. This is to prevent having multiple highlighted threads for one person when only one is necessary.


 * I get that it's a bit of work and might be kind of scary, so if you don't want to do it please don't feel pressured. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!


 * Have a nice day =).
