No Fandom
Please understand that this wiki is not a fandom. Our aim is to build a reliable source of Vocaloids. Do not add your easy-rough sketches. Damesukekun 03:48, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Excuse me but I think you are talking to the wrong person. I've never added my drawings to any wikia, and less "easy-rogh" sketches as you said. Adept-eX 04:37, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
- My bad. I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Damesukekun 15:15, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Spanish Wiki
- D I'm going to wait for your lead on the Spanish wiki. And hopefully, I will learn more Spanish! Whatever you want to do, or hear from them about doing, please get back to me :) I enjoy helping. --Imanie 23:23, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
About Song pages
I am going to be moving them to the "Song:" namespace at some point so they can be easy to find and organized. I'll likely switch the title order, Translated title first then Japanese title second, still thinking about it though.
And thanks for warning Zhangster moon about image uploading. -- Bunai82 (talk) 06:36, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
Hi =)
So illustrators will have their own avatars now? There aren't much illustrators in this wiki so far, so it won't be that hard. Which are we supposed to use? Should the producers have their own avatars? I don't think Namagoroshi-P (he's an illustrator too) has a profile picture in his Nico account... :-/
I wanna help ><
Bye. Unknown.System 02:17, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
- I think the producers should have their own avatars if they're illustrators too. In case the author hasn't an avatar or if their current avatar doesn't show their style clearly, then you can choose an image from his/her gallery and edit it for made it an avatar (The size 140x140px should work). My idea for add avatars was for recognize easily to the illustrator ;P Adept-eX 20:01, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
Thank you
For contacting me about the images.
oyi, I am pretty sure I placed notices about this in quite a few key spots on the wiki. -- Bunai82 (talk) 02:35, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
"ACUTE" in the notable page
Now that you're done with the "ACUTE" article, do you think we should remove the song description in here and replace it with a link to its stand-alone page? Esperancia 00:34, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah! I think it would be good! Adept-eX 03:58, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Mind if I help with the transfer of them too? It seems we trio are the song page correctors XDXD K4KING 06:24, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
I'll be updating the producer pages from A to C. Just to see how it works out, because I have other wikis to edit. -- Bunai82 (talk) 23:41, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed a major mistake. If you change just the P in the "producer" field and then you save the changes, all the other info as playlist or url will get erased. I'm undoing your changes and fixing that detail. Adept-eX 06:59, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Hrmmm...You have a point.
Well I'm partially pleased, but what I'm doing is still mere testing. Although, what I made is still tentative. I'm kind of testing other formats it would look like. Both seeing if they would look at the thumbnail while reading the text, kinda like reading a book to make them get their attention, that was my point one, but then again, I'm still not sure.
I tend to stick the main information of the song near the thumb, as it is important, Because I still have not separated them, not yet at least. I'm also going to fill the rest with some more, A small bit of the P's info, what the song is about, what interpretations can we draw from it, but again, it's kinda hard to do the thing. Pretty soon, you'll see some more headers that says "interpretation", History, and other important things that will be relevant to the song. I'm still writing them up and gathering sources. Kinda like speculating. I can't just put everything on one page, at least not yet. So I kinda divided my work into phases.
- Phase one was uniformity. Make everything look temporarily the same
- Phase Two is adding and fixing links, info in the right order
- Phase 3 is ironing out the rest of the pages.
There may be a Few more phases, but these are the fundamentals.
Pretty much the Song pages will look different from the Series of Song pages. Series of song pages are concentrated on the songs and explains them with extreme scrutiny, the song pages I'll soon complete may look almost the same, but is totally song central and Work central. This was the idea that came to my head, but I might change that idea.
As for the info of the P, I won't add the Profile's of the P's in Nico Nico. I could add their youtube accounts, since it's not that restricted. Their Niconico accounts, Pixiv, piapro etc. may need to be thought through. Some P's don't like their Profiles to be.... a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit over crowded. Anonymity. What are you gonna do? :P
As much as possible, I like the Links to be near the Thumbnails. Since it will be easier for the user to see the Original work or PV.
Care to what would the supposed format look like? Usually, the arrangements I will soon implement are:
- Title
- Thumbnail then mini info about song along with P.
- Back ground of the song(Interpretation, small history)
- Additional topic that might be relevant to the song(Example, I'll be rearranging the Kokoro page soon. Since there's a great spin-off song called kokoro kiseki, I'll soon put a header or something that says spinoffs, then add a little history about it )
- Popularity And Feedback (This, is still tentative)
- Lyrics
- Remixes and Other Arrangements
- Human Covers, Alternate PVs, Vocaloid Covers and Other Derivative Works
It will appear in that order, but editing and typing in notepad(I don't actually edit my work on the site, I just copy paste the wiki code, edit it on notepad and then copy pasta it back to see the preview and make minor corrections on the site and preview it again.)
So any suggestions? Comments? Rage? Exclamations? Concerns? What needs to be thought out again. I repeat, I'm still partially not finished with each song page. Feel free to throw a fish at me and I'll clamp down and be your Zom- I mean man to follow.K4KING 22:35, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Well, I'm agree with the general arrangement of the sections sections, but I think that is possible tidy up this thing a bit more:
- First, the third point should be called just "Background", is a generic term and is shorter than "History/Interpretation/Background".It looks less saturated for the sight.
- Second, I think the Covers and Remixes should be in the same section, basically is the same song and lyric but with a different voice or instrumental.
- Third, I prefer do a sort of little profile for the derivative works (alternate PVs, parodies, arragments). My proposition is the next one:
Title for the derivative
- Broadcast: NND / YT
- Author(s): Author1 (role1); Author2 (role2)
- Category: Cover or Remix; alternate PV (hand-drawn; animated; CGI); Arrangement or Parody
- Vocaloid/Utau: (If is necessary)
- Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary. Here goes a small description or summary.
Probably the arrangements will need their own section because generally those whose changes the lyrics and tells another version of the story or something are a totally unrelated with the original song.
Finally I have a question and I want your opinion. Should we separate the Original Vocaloid song and the Series categories? Adept-eX 04:00, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- You just read my mine on the seperation of series and single song pages. But yeah, i agree with point 1.
- Point 2 is going to be reorganized again, I just realized awhile ago that the grouping seemed off, and you gave me that answer. I'll work on it.
- Point 3 is... a bit to decorative. Plus, I see one problem arising from it. It would be Picture overload. I know we can upload pictures here, but seeing as ow many picture files already exist in this wikia, I don't like to see it to be filled with just pictures where it will be a burden. Not unless Bunai clears all pictures, or we could either track down all unused pictures and delete them manually. If this was implemented, then the description will be One or Two sentences. Just a brief description of the song, no plots, no speculations nothing. Just a wonderful line that says that. Clear and simple. If people want to have a discussion, they can do it elsewhere or write an article about it.
- And as Much as possible, Too much headlines look bad. So I grouped together similar things. And I will probably put remove a few of the PVs there. I'd like to keep the most notable ones though. We are not archiving PVs anyway. The minimum amount of Pv arrangement per headlines or whatever, will be around 5 to 10. Well, depends on how popular the song will be. But it works.
- So, I'll implement this within this week, but I will have to stop total editing for now since we are still discussing this. K4KING 06:28, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- I going to have to think this through if I'm going to seperate the Series from song central pages. Don't remove or add categories yet. If you have a name for the new category to suggest, do speak your mind. the names that come to my head are "Vocaloid Series of Songs", "Vocaloid Song Universes" and "Vocaloid Song Series". I'm still thinking this through.....K4KING 13:36, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- I say stick to Nicothumbnails if there is a Nicolink available. If the Nicovideo is dead, use youtube. if the Thumbnail is youtube only, use youtube. I found videos that we made in youtube, but not in NND. The same is true with viceversa, because they are not illegaly reprinted. I'll be stopping my overhaul until I see this new template. :P Nice Job. And now, I'm excited! :DDD K4KING 23:26, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I hope I'm not bothering you or anything. The new producer layout's a bit confusing, can you explain a little bit about what status, genre, labels, association, and official are? By 'official' does it mean website/blog? :-/
Thanks. :) Unknown.System 16:01, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know if I'm the right person, I'm trying too understand the new template too. Maybe you should ask to user:Bunai82, because she was the person who did that template. Adept-eX 18:50, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- If I may interject, I could explain this bit. Though I could be wrong. :/
Status if the P is active or not, genre is where music or illustrations fit, like Ryo is Rock etc. Labels Are I'm not sure, either if they got contracted to a company like supercell or the CDs they sold. Association if they had a collaboration or not. Official is Blog and Website alright. K4KING 22:10, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Labels are the record and music companies associated, like Sony Music, Warner music group, etc. Adept-eX 22:48, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I understand the basics... Thanks everyone... Unknown.System 05:42, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Labels are the record and music companies associated, like Sony Music, Warner music group, etc. Adept-eX 22:48, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
Do you have the abilties to do some banners for the front wikia? I'm replacing the "Current voices" section with banners and a list because we're getting too many images up there. I don't have the art software to do this anymore myself and I'm looking for help doing it. If you can do it (or know someone who can), that will be brilliant! I'll list what I need after your response if you are willing. :-) One-Winged Hawk 10:15, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- Do you mean to the section in the front page? Yeah! I can, would take me a time but I can. I need to know the measures for those banner and what do you have in mind Adept-eX 20:16, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
Did you add the category Series?
If you did... Yay~ :DDDDDD No I won't be able to do it anymore!(You saved me a lot) All that's left to do is- Wait a sec... Wait, don't you think Series is too small? Or just right. My thoughts were Vocaloid Song Series. But it's your call Meister. :) Also, Should I remove the Original Vocaloid Song category, although it is a song, but it focuses more on the series rather than the sole song itself....Hrmmm... I dunno. Anymore suggestions? I've been at a slump lately.
So how's the template going? I kinda want to know how is the work going? I've seen your recent blog, and have you figured out the picture thing? K4KING 00:37, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I think the Category:Series was added shortly after I joined to this wikia, anyway I must say that "Vocaloid Song Series" sounds prettier :D. I'm agree with do the change!
- And yup! I'm removing the Category:Original Vocaloid Song from the Series' articles for distinguish them from the articles that focus in just one particular song.
- And about the template I think that I will limit me to use the youtube server for the thumbnails and in case that the video is just in NND I will upload its thumbnail to the wiki. Adept-eX 04:37, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll be the one to remove the categories, I'm keeping a tight schedule now since I got inspired after listening to the history of Popipo(Go figure). Tell Bunai to retire the category "series". I'll replace it with Vocaloid Song Series.
- Do what you can. Oh and some Videos in the Alt PV sections lack a Youtube Vid. because it was either an illegal reprint or the creator requested it to take it down. So do both, Since there is a chance that a video may only be in youtube and not in NND and vice versa, but choose one the has the more likely to survive. K4KING 05:45, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Transfer Complete. Who knew Popipo can power me up? XD
- Please tell Bunai about this, I'm gonna go get back to history digging. K4KING 05:45, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Looks good. it does not load up in the site, good job :D
- Let's see it be implemented in a test page..... Put the template on the Romeo and Cinderella song page.
- Leave it there and let me take a look about it. I can't really tell from the sandbox itself. Some Alternates have only Youtube Vids, and some are only available in NND. So it would only work with the Yotube, so it's fine. But as for NND vids only, it's the achilles heel of the template. But it works.K4KING 08:42, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I saw it. It works like magic. Show this to Bunai and Hawk, if they approve. If both give the OK,then you can go ahead and put this template on song pages that don't have the under construction template. I'm currently working on those pages as we speak. But, Nice job. Kudos to you. I'll eventually finish the song pages.K4KING 17:11, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I see you changed the Human Covers etc. to Derivative Works, Works for me. 'll probably do that with the rest of the songs, but arrangements, yeah was not expecting that. Not to mention adding the lyrics no less. I rather just put the video and a brief name. No added lyrics as such, i want to keep the song pages as central as possible. And I don't like to make the page very very long. But this is my piece of toast, but I need to hear more from your side. :/K4KING 18:14, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I leaved the arragments in a different section because the most are another side of the story and in some cases they are a totally different story (Example: Cendrillion / Adolescence). Due this and because they have a totally different version lyric I think they deserve they own space. Adept-eX 18:24, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
- That applies to certain songs, other songs don't have that, at least not yet. Certain at the least, which is why I'll give due consideration to it, wait scratch that, I'll help implement that to other songs that might have the same content. As to the lyrics bellow it, Better not type it here, rather I'd link it to the an external source If you know one, link it immediately. I'm also planning to limit the number of Derivative works to around 3 to 7. Some songs lack the PV, and some lack the remixes, most songs lack overall. like the Nebula Page. It's only available in remixes, so basically, we'll have many skeletons for each song page, but meh, being diverse is the best thing for that song. Some songs are also TOO Popular, and too much Derivative works looks like SPAM to me. I'll remove some from Romeo and Cinderella. the song pages were not meant for archiving PV listing, just giving examples, as other people could just simply use Youtube and see the related videos to find another PV of it anyway. Thanks for your opinion. Boy this sure became a long discussion huh? K4KING 18:33, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
About the fanwork PV template
Are you going to make the template for utattemita videos too? Because we have Nico Nico Douga Singers wiki, how about we just link the cover videos by utaites there? Me and other contributors have set up individual pages for each utaite with the link to their utattemita works :D /promoting lol Esperancia 01:22, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
Me.. again.. I'm really sorry... if you have enough with me (*´ω`*)
It's just that, is the {{clr}} in the end of {{t|Song Derivative}} needed? It seems to create that big gap between each derivatives, or was it really your intention? Esperancia 23:28, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
I think the gap is the residue when I eliminated the separator line "----" from the template. The {{clr}} it's necessary or the template disconfigures the article (the titles are splatted at a side or simplely they didn't appear). If you know how to improve of fix the template go ahead! Adept-eX 00:06, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
you'll have to ask Bunai, I simply don't have the answer on that one. One-Winged Hawk 06:31, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll test out the links in the MediaWiki External images whitelist, if that doesn't work then I'll create a Whitelist. You'll have to wait some hours before the wiki recognizes anything for this test though. -- Bunai82 (talk) 02:56, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
Re:Organizing the Derivatives and Arrangements whole thing
One thing I admit, I had to create descriptions for the sake of describing them, so I'll just stop there then.
the rest, while I had disappeared(sort off) I also watched as how the editing went. It got derailed a bit, and some plans went into places that were not supposed to be in. One thing, though, I never put favoritism while making a song page. The end result would be like what happened to the Kokoro page, which made it look clunky, fat, and too painful to read. Your favorite RandC, was about to look like it. Hence I had to step in.
Keep in mind this:
Derivative works, Arrangements will have a maximum of 10 to 15 songs. The less popular the song, the lesser the cap. Saihate is an example. Despite it being popular beyond reason, it lacks PVs, and other videos, hence the max cap would be 5 to 8. Kokoro miku miku ni shtie ageru would have a whooping 15.
Also, planning descriptions got me thinking. Do we really need to explain everything? So I just thought of this: We use the descriptions for one liners. Period. That's it. If they want to know mroe about the story, then watch it. If they don't they move along and that means they prefer another one. What made me realize this just now I don't know. Probably because my other duties had obstructed me from thinking something so simple. Or made me forget it's true purpose.
So bottomline: One liner description if necessary. No Lyrics other than the Actual main Song. No showing of favoritism on any song page. Rethink about certain PVs and other spinoffs.
SO you say the loli meltdown mixes deserve the same spot as that of Adolescence? Sure. Go ahead, type the source code on the page. Keep it clean though. I noticed other people have been editing lousy edits lately. I'll fix the edits if it's out of place, later
I'll help with summarizing the descriptions, now that I have the resolve to make one liners that only capture their attention. My favorite song by the way is the first song I heard, miku miku ni shite ageru, but I didn't show favoritism at it. I restrained it, although it was not enough, I had to limit myself from putting anything else that's irrelevant on it. Right now, I can see it's not clunky, but I fear it might get one soon, seeing as it is the most popular song of all time.
Start summarizing your Favorite song page first, by later, if I still have time, I'll pass by it and MIGHT massacre any extra Derivative works that didn't holdup to it's popularity. I held back awhile ago when I was editing the page, because I'm also considering HOW popular it is, I am also trying to prevent from what I fear what will soon happen yet again: Edit wars. It already looks a bit clunky, but that's me. I might leave it alone and just look at it. Do also Cendrillon.
Right now I'm taking a break. And romanizing lyrics as I type this. K4KING 19:53, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

What is the origin of the image and who drew it? -- Bunai82 (talk) 20:32, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
Doujin Circle
I'm wondering if you have any idea of a layout for a doujin circle, or 'groups'. There's already a number of it in the wikia here, ... I accidentaly made a doujin circle 'Wonderful Opportunity' (All my life I thought WanOpo is a producer /facepalm).
Or is there already a layout for it? Unknown.System 04:55, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
No, There isn't a layout for them. I've thinking about it, as you can see is evident the need of category for the Doujin Groups and associations like Supercell or CitRin (as you can see, I did a list for such kind of groups in my profile).
I think the template should be similar to the Producer's. It should have the same info (with exception of the association field), along a new section to add the members of the group and their respective role on it. Adept-eX 05:45, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Then that won't be a problem... Basically the same with the producer's layout, with works, members, their roles, a little history, I'll see what I can do in the sandbox. Unknown.System 11:36, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Let's just say for now, I've no idea what else to put .
- It's basically the same thing as the producer's template, maybe a separate table for the member roles? Since they're groups, after all... Unknown.System 05:07, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
My reply
If you're going to edit Teto's page, Do not use Cendrillons format.
It's more appropriate to use one of Vocaloid template, the one like on Vocaloid pages, but instead of labeling her Vocaloid, well label her as the Fake Vocaloid turned to reality and Song. Then discuss little about Utau(common stuff, Link the main information to the utau wikia, then teto's main utau page)
And did you ask Damesukekun? He's the one incharge of teto since he is part of the team who made teto in the first place. It also might be better to ask Bunai about it.
As for the tomato parody- I think it's better to let it slide. I really don't like too much information on Derivatives personally. Since I want to concentrate on the Main song, I also do not like over explanation of derivative works(I learned to appreciate it as I edit more pages). Of course we could make a tomato page, but then that's also pointless, since it's nolonger a vocaloid original song. And I don't like to spam this wikia with pointless derivative song pages.
As for the official PVs of Proj.Diva, being close to concerts, Put them on their respective song pages. I don't see it as Official, nor at the same time a derivative. Since anyone can edit and try to mimic it. The argument of course, that it's based on the concerts. I've been to almost every concert(counting the ones streamed) and nothing beats the glass frame :D.
Just link it near the original source and put: Proj. Diva PV Edit.
Also, expand more the Background on Cendrillon, detail it nmore research more about it, your derivative explanations is LONGER than the background info. I'm not gonna touch those pages, because If I do, I'll really eliminate long sentences and keep it simple.
At least then I can agree.

About the group template...
Are you talking about the circles/doujin groups?
No, unfortunately... The discography & songs featuring pages were distracting me <_<"
My final exam is soon so I don't think I can work on it that much... But I still have no idea what to add since it's basically the same as the producers/illustrators page... o_o Unknown.System 03:59, November 22, 2011 (UTC)
Project Diva
Oh I see, thanks.. Though I don't think there are anymore illustrators for the modules though...
I've been thinking of putting Project Diva Extend a page but I don't think that day'll ever come. XP
Other than that... Don't you think producers like for example: ryo, even though he's not an illustrator, should get a credit for his song to be in the page? World is Mine? :-/
Well, I don't know, I've never played Project Diva before, I prefer to spend my money on albums D: Unknown.System 06:18, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Do you mean add the corresponding Project Diva Modules to the original composers of the song which spawn it? Yeah! I'm agree. In fact I already did that in Doriko's article xDDD. Go ahead! Adept-eX 06:30, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Akuno-P's novel / Story of Evil
Akuno-P updated his novel twitter account and a new cover for the third book is revealed . Hnn, the wonderful things you discover in twitter.
Yourin made the cover, other than that, I've no idea... I checked the official site, but there's nothing there... About the release date, it'll be released on December 23rd. I've no idea who put March 2012 there...
And, I'm not exactly in charge of Akuno-P's series pages, so I'm afraid of making any major edits -shrug-
Also, is the correct for the book is Puraeldium? Unknown.System 15:14, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
About Akuno-P's songs...
There are a few 'PV-less', and those songs are in his album. :|
Even though it's nice to share and all, do you think it's a good idea to give them the links? I mean, isn't it a bit illegal to upload an album which cost money to the internet? To YouTube?
I know there's no stopping it, but giving out the links from the wikia to the songs seems a bit... Wrong to me.
I was thinking for the PV-less songs, instead of giving out the links to those uploaders, making it something like this . Akuno-P already has his album, just direct it saying "This song is available in EVILS COURT".
What do you think? :| Unknown.System 09:48, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

Joseph Crim
Excuse me but is there really proof that the 15th personal chef is Joseph Crim? If so, can you give me a link of the proof? The warlich 10:18, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
That information already was in the other names section, I just move it to the character's header. Anyway I have no idea who add it, maybe User:MaxusFox23 was the one who added that info, he is another contributor that is working constanly in the Mothy-related articles.
Anyway, for avoid add wrong information I suggest begin to add the corresponding references to the article. Adept-eX 18:31, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah... I noticed that he has been working a lot lately. But still not sure where he gets "Clarith", "Bolganio", and that the chef's Joseph Crim/Yosef Crim... The warlich 10:05, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Well, we have to oraganize in that sense. There are a bunch of things that I want to discuss with Maxus, mainly the citation way and the sources. Adept-eX 17:50, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I admit I got the "Joseph Crim" name from a chart on Pixiv that points him as a character played by Kaito in "Akujiki Musume Conchita", so it's highly probable to not be accurate (although the image I put comes from Ichika's doujin "Memento" in the "Akujiki Musume Conchita" story, but he's simply called "Cook" and he's the one getting eaten). About "Clarith" and "Bolganio" here's the thing: Bolganio came from the 3rd Aku no Musume novel's description, listed after the kanjis of "continent" and Clarith is written as such in an illustration inside the "Aku no Musume Worldguide" (is the one made by 4:00am and I own the guide since yesterday). I made changes to some other names, you can check my profile for further information about it.
I'll also answering a question from above: "Puraerudium" is translated as "Praeludium"(latin for Prelude) and "Purefacchio" is translated "Prefazio" or "Praefazio"(italian for Preface).
Finally, I'm a girl, not a boy.

Regarding phonetics charts
I'm sorry for the late reply... Or for the lack of others' rplying for that matter it turns out. I think when it cmes to the phonetics sharts the issue is not many other editors can respond to them. So when you put up something new regarding them, none of the other edtiors can tell you their thoughts on the new stuff. I thik your going to work, as I have found with this wikia, based on "guessing" what is best. U?nhtil an editor comes along who has the power to criticise anything you do your stuck trying to work things out on your own.
Trust me, it was worst when I first came here then it is now, but the wikia needs another 3-5 years before we're at a satisfactory level in regardiance to this sort of thing. :-/ One-Winged Hawk 09:55, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Is there a specific color for each song pages, or something...? I see it's different per page. For the derivative works section, I mean... I'm trying to get at least 5 song pages WIP free by this week; heheh. Unknown.System 05:55, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah! I did add an option for change the header's color, like in the Fanmades Character's template. I've tried to match the colors with the official conceptual images of the differents songs (Example: The same shade of pink for Romeo and Cinderella, a high contrast of a black hue with yellow for Meltdown, etc). However this is optional, if you don't choose a color the header will be lightblue by default.
- If you have some troubles choosing a color scheme you can ask me help. ;P Adept-eX 18:12, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
Would you mind...
I think over the Miku formula page I do not want to be a part of this fandom anymore. Rather then wait another 2 years I will resign today and leave the wikia. I will make someone a replacement beaucrat. This just got too much and I do not want to be insulted as a editor. I can take critism as a wikia, but insults are another matter...
I think Mini has now said too much to me...

Can't say anything more then that. The templates need to be repaired all over the wikia in regards to the voicebanks anyway, do tomorrow I'm doing mass reediting to fix a few problems.

I'm sorry about my comment. I'm a little rude since I'm aggravated about my laptop keeps playing voices from ads(They. Will. Not. Shut. Up.).

So.. Remember how Mini called the Miku formula page BS and said we were accusing every Vocaloid of copying Miku, etc, etc that other crap. I just added a few things to the controversal concerns page that put a smile on my face since Miki was bearing Miku's body type in mind.
I've got the biggest grin on my face right now... Mini's a ah-software fan, and Miki borrowed "design aspects" from Miku.
Yeah, Miku had no influence on otherVocaloid designs, thats... What 4 now... less then a month later more information on how Miku influenced other Vocaloids came out. Its good timing since it makes a point on the fact that there was outcry at VO forums from members over the matter, when we were trying to adress why everyone was accusing other Voclaoids of looking like Miku. :-)
Though so far all the Vocaloids who were confirmed borrowing SOMETHING from Miku (in this case the fact she has a immature body) look nothing like Miku so why does anyone kick up a stink about the subject? ^_- One-Winged Hawk 18:47, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

- Didn't realise that, you told him not to do it again? If anything we should have asked him to e-mail us, I must admit I'm out of practice with dealing with this thing. We haven't dealt with issues in the fando for months on this level. :-/ One-Winged Hawk (talk) 22:15, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
Because the IP is changing, you can only grab him as he posts. Rage blocking isn't going to help, because you restrict a few possible IPs in the process that might be from his local area. However, if she/he keeps returning, we might have no choice. Also, speaking from experience of dealing with this, sometimes trolls like this get fed up and move on so a little patience is rewarding. Even trolls get bored and they can only troll so many places and things within a day.
If if the problem becomes a long term thing, you may not have much of a choice.
We can semi-prevent it by turning off IP posters which forces the guy to sign up. We have more thigns to block if he/she is forced to sign up, like e-mails. Who is going to go to the hassle of creating a new e-mail adress every time the old one gets blocked? Maybe a few times, but it takes too long and is off putting.
But the problems overall was that the pros outway the cons on this. People like annoymous posting and can't always be bothered to sign up, or are too frightened/shy to do so. a lot of the random IPs have led to quick resolutions on helping the newbie fans get things straight and voice their opinions. Also, due to the situation with the Japanese fandom being on top, I never stopped this so they could post and help sort out the odd incident.
Thusm, I'd save only this sort of thing as a last resort only if things get out of hand (i.e.e hundreds of issues instead of a handful by lots different people). :-/ One-Winged Hawk (talk) 08:02, August 12, 2012 (UTC)

Fan art
You're the only recently active crat so I thought to consult you on this, is there an appropriate place on this wiki to post fan art of Vocaloids, or should that be on another wiki?
There is an image of Luka Megurine I found at w:c:Mascots:File:BeLukaMassage.jpg and I was interested in showing it. +Yc 19:11, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
I'll have to have a more seious look at it when I get back,but a quick look it seems fine. If you've run all possible tests you can think of, it should be safe to use for the wikia. So long as the 7 tabs issue is easy to fix if need to be or won't limit its usfuliness everything should be fine.

Sorting things out.
Do you need help sorting out the producers with it's "outdated" information template? (You edited the producers in an alphabetical order so I assumed you were trying to finish the whole list off) I'll help around of course, I think that it'll be really neat (and what would be more neat is if the template has something like an "most recent upload" on the utaite wiki, but I don't know know.)
That, and I removed the Retired Producer category on Anzuame's page; just wanted to let you know it. I don't think an absence of not uploading song should be considered "retired". An example is Dixie Flatline's absence for two years from 2010 but he suddenly appeared and started uploading works again on 2012. (that, and Anzuame attended the Snow Miku event back on December 2011, or somewhere around that year). All the producers listed in the Retired Producer category have already announced their retirement either in a blog form / removal of works. (and I've checked most of them; either from their blog or Hatsune Miku wiki)
Unless of course you want to discuss it with me and we can write tighter conditions on what could be considered "retired". Unknown.System (talk) 10:02, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, Some help would be really handy, specially because I'm a kind slower with this type of articles ;_; (you submit like 3-4 in the same time that barely I can submit 1).
About the Retired Producer, you're right. Some Producers eventually returns to submit song occasionally, so... However the ones who have deleted their accounts, well... I think those ones should be labelled as well, besides the ones that officialized their retire.
Now, about your idea about the "most recent upload". What do you have in mind? o,o Adept-eX (talk) 00:38, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
School just started yesterday so I couldn't be as fast but at least things'll get done. >_<;;
When it's 2 years+ absence though I'll try and look at some blogs or Hatsune Miku wiki whether he's really retired or not. Not all retired producers remove their works, so.
-shrug- Nothing in mind really, I just think the template on utaite wiki saying "this singer is up to date". We have a template on saying it's "outdated" but we don't have something saying "this producer is up to date since it's recent upload." Unknown.System (talk) 02:41, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
About the Apple-P Pocaloid Claims and other things that have to do with the Blacklist
Well I think that beause of the whole RinVocaloidCover (ugh, I don't wanna mention his name again after this) issue, I think that everyone is going to keep on vandalizing the wiki. We probably need to do something. Dizzyzebra has some very good suggestions and maybe we can use them...or at least delete most of the conversation concerning him instead of the parts where it shows such proof that he uses Pocaloid. Also, he HAS made a video about so...we are probably still not off the hook...
I am suspicious about Apple-P though. He does support RVC and well...it;s kinda suspicious.
I could help with the whole Apple-P issue but I will try not to get TOO involved. He probably also hates us too.

About Song derivative template
Hello, is there a way that you can get it to include the title change to match the border? This is to reduce the need to manually place in the 'span' or having the title appear in black font. I did it on Fanloid wiki, but it required two separate parameters. I see that it works with the Song box template, but I am unsure of how to transfer it to the Song derivative template. -- Bunai82 (talk) 22:42, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

English Song Translations
Songs like FREELY TOMORROW and Answer have official song translations. They were uploaded by the producer on their YouTube channels. If these aren't allowed to be on the site, shouldn't the translations for EmpathP's songs also be removed? ~ LaZMMiSY (talk) 17:57, November 16, 2012 (UTC) ~
- If a producer uploads the official translations him/herself, you can copy them onto this Wiki. Damesukekun (talk) 08:03, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
- c/p The English translation of "FREELY TOMORROW" is by puroresuman1, they were then used as subtitles on Mitchie M's official upload. However, it is unknown if the author accepts the lyrics as official and he may simply approve of them for English viewers. There is also the possibility that puroresuman1 translated without contacting the author.
- So if you can contact both puroresuman1 and Mitchie M about it, it would solve the issue. -- Bunai82 (talk) 07:58, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
- Let me explain more about the two cases above. I checked Puroresman1's subs and it was quite accurately translated. I don't know whether Mitche M speaks English and can tell good translation and poor translation or not, but I think there's no problem listing Proresuman1's as the official trans.
Answer's English lyrics is official. It showed at Anime Expo 2012 in L.A. The translation is a bit awkward (I think KataGatar was the translator) but Dixie Flatline gave an okay to it. He speaks English. Other than these Bunai's suggestion will be a guideline. Damesukekun (talk) 08:47, November 17, 2012 (UTC)

- Edit: I found a Parameter called noedit, which hides the edit link.

- Well, if you're worried about the creation of talk pages in the Voicebanks articles, simply we could "Protect" the Talk pages and block them of editing.
Oh yeah, also I removed the genres, from the Crypton's voicebanks for 3 reasons. First, in the way you added them, the category was added the Vocaloid's articles (you didn't use the nocontent tag). Second, these Genre Categories caused some confusions (recently I have to remove them from some Producer articles). 3rd, The Recommended Genres simply are a suggestion from a limited number of companies, and not all the people follow them.

Derivatives template
Hi. I'm a new editor on this wiki and I've been doing some editing on song pages. I've been using the Derivatives template a lot, but it has some cosmetic issues that have been bothering me. I've made a potential revision, currently sitting at User:Chevsapher, and I thought it would be a good idea to get the opinion of an admin with some knowledge of coding before possibly rolling it out and possibly overstepping my bounds as a new user. The changes are as follows:
There is now a slight margin on each side of the template so it doesn't butt up against itself on pages with multiple listed derivatives.
There is a slight margin under the header so it and the song icon have some space between them.
The most obvious: the header styling is different.

Disambig confusion
Hey Fernando. I've been cleaning up the disambiguation pages, and I noticed that about half of them have "(disambig)" at the end of their names. The "(disambig)" really isn't needed, and I don't know why it's there. For instance, the disambiguation for Magnet is at Magnet (disambig). I'm not sure why this is, since we have no rules on disambiguation pages. However, going by the Wikipedia Manual of Style, the disambiguation pages shouldn't have that "(disambig)" at the end. So, for example, the disambiguation for Magnet would simply be at the pagename Magnet.
What you think? Either way, I'm going to need an admin's help to move the disambiguation pages, since the namespaces they need moved to already exist as redirect pages and therefore need overwritten, which only admins can do.

Random Spam Links Popping Up
Hi! We seem to be having a little issue with an IP (188.8.131.52) that's posting random hotlinks to other people's off-site pictures after being asked not to in the comments section of a few articles... mainly IA's V3 page, and if I'm not mistaken, there's also one on kokone's page as well. If you have a moment or unless Bunai or Damesukekun beats you to it, can we ask your help in getting rid of those particular posts? It'd be greatly appreciated. :-) =|-Momoiro-|= - Talk - 03:35, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
Forgot to mention, there are a few more IP ranges that were causing issues: 188.8.131.52 and 126.96.36.199. I think it's the same one that's been causing trouble for the past week or so from the looks of things. =|-Momoiro-|= - Talk - 21:10, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
Tabs at the Main Page
Hello, I just wanted to ask what happened with the Tabs for VOCALOID and VOCALOID 2 on the main page. Now there's only the VOCALOID 3 + NEO and Upcoming VBs tabs. I also wanted to say that I removed a troll comment in the Trivia section at Anon & Kanon page, hope it's ok. Thank you.

Can you at least discuss what to do with ONA MAIKA before you do it?
A user suggested a different tab at least. -- Bunai82 (talk) 19:46, May 5, 2014 (UTC)
- A different tab? Ok, I'm gonna open a new forum htread, so we can listen the other ontibutors as well. Adept-eX (talk) 22:30, May 5, 2014 (UTC)
What should I do with this?
I was perusing google on my search for more information on Story Rider when I happend across this. I've seen it on a few other sites as well. Should a page be made for it? Should I even mention it in the background section of Story Rider? Mihaelandnate (talk) 01:42, May 12, 2014 (UTC) [EDIT]: The source can be found on Bandai's site.
- It's just part of Bandai's HAKO VISION: a set of miniature holographic performances included in some candy boxes. As you can see, the set isn't limited to VOCALOID performances , as there are other kind of holographic shows and presentations. Because Story Teller isn't the only song included for the VOCALOID set, you could include the info into the respective articles under the Other appearences and Merchandising sections. Adept-eX (talk) 03:40, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
- When you say respective articles, are you referring to the song pages? If so, I can do that. I'd put a picture of the HAKO VISION, right? Mihaelandnate (talk) 03:51, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
- Mention the product under the Other media appearances > Merchandising and add a picture or screenshot of the product into the Gallery section. Remember, there are at least two song different sets: The pink one which includes the songs World is Mine & Story Rider, and the green one which includes 2D Dream Fever & Tell Your World .

Issue with...
Reporting for harrassment and vandalism. I'm letting you and Bunai know just in case. Mysterious Eevee of the Mist (talk) 15:57, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
- Besides the user page edit (which should never be done unless it is to correct something.) Both this IP and Misteryeevee are on the same level when it comes to intense discussion over a Fanloid debate.
- I can't call it 'harassment'. The IP didn't actively seek out a specific person, just the blog. I would like to believe that the IP is the artists herself and that virus story is a bit hard to believe. Even though I am aware of some cases with DA.
-- Bunai82 (talk) 17:39, June 1, 2014 (UTC)
- Alright, fine. I was just as hostile.
- If they should decide to continue to edit my profile, I will take it as a personal issue. However, should they edit other people's accounts (mainly those who are involved with the blog), they decide to pick on those who supposedly "speaks ill" of the artist, then that's probably an issue.

Song Pages
Do we have any specific guidelines against certain songs? I'm asking because I'd like to add Shota Shota Island and Loli Loli Paradise, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to due to the implications that the titles can give. Rionko (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ 20:38, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Your opinion on this?
We've been having continuous edits to Kagamine Rin/Len page from User: Aquar1us
History of Page. This is the third time that this user added this information.
The first time, Angel removed it as it was irrelevant to the page. Yesterday, the user added it back up and I removed it. Also I sent them a warning on their talk page and I quote:
"In regards to your edits at the Kagamine Rin and Len page... The Greek information you put up are not relevant to their concept at all, unless the company states this as true.
According to your contribution record, this was the second time you added this to the page. Please do not add it any further. Thank you."
Now they put it back in again saying "the 'reason' was: 'insierting nonse'. if there's a more extravagant way to shoot oneself in the foot, I've yet to see it."
May I please ask you whether or not this counts as spam or anything of the sort? They're not heeding our warnings. I will contact Bunai about this too. Mysterious Eevee of the Mist 19:01, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

Cendrillon Categories
Why were the categories for VY1 and VY2 removed for Cendrillon? I thought that the song would be tagged with them due to it being a succeeding version... am I misunderstanding? Rionko (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ 14:17, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, then there are a lot of songs that need to have other vocals removed, such as HappySunday. I guess the confusion is that there's nowhere that explicitly says "original upload" but instead it's assumed that if the producer made it that it's official. Can we maybe have this cleared up, either on the song page guidelines or somewhere else? I know I'm not the only one confused, as other people have brought it up. Rionko (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ 17:46, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
EDIT: I really wish you had held some sort of like thread so that this could be decided on. At the very least, you could have changed the categorizing section on the song article guideline instead of expecting us to suddenly get on your wavelength without prior warning.
I don't mean to be rude, but this came out of left field considering this has been going on for over a year. Rionko (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ 18:15, July 8, 2014 (UTC)
Re:Confusion about the "Song featuring VOCALOID" categories
Oh, a thousand sorry. I never put those categories for that reason but I ended up influencing me when I saw Mihaelandnate adding.

Category for song articles needing novel info
Hey Adept, what would you think about moving the song articles that need information about novels into their own category? Perhaps they could even have their own WIP template. That way we wouldn't have to sift through Category:Music Work in Progress to find them. Chevsapher ♪ talk 16:25, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
- Oooooooohhhhh, I like the idea of novels getting their own pages. That way we won't clutter up the song articles with novel info. BTW I really like ECW's infobox. Using that as a base I can present a skeleton prototype for novel pages by... yeah, this weekend, hopefully. Chevsapher ♪ talk 02:31, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Even then, I also kind of feel a little uncomfortable with sharing the actual data included on the disks themselves, mainly if it's something that might be breaking EULA on that part.

Page title redirect
Following what Wikipedia does, I redirected the page titled "Ruby" to "Vocaloid Wiki:Sandbox/Ruby", and it is locked to prevent editing and moving.
I would like to ask that this page title not be deleted for the time being. -- Bunai82 (talk) 19:08, September 21, 2014 (UTC) eta This is done so the page can be 'found' and 'edited' by contributors, not just admins. A good example of this on Wiki is the MLP wiki, which sets up workshops.

Parent Page for Vocaloid Wiki
Hey Adept-eX!
Wanted to let you know that the Vocaloid Wiki has been selected to have a Parent Page. Parent Pages are resource for parents who are looking for information on topics their kids might be getting into. You see more of these pages here.
I've gone ahead and set up the page for you, we'd love to get your help and expertise in filling this out. I know that this wiki is different from categorizing an individual artist or band, but do the best you can with the form, and feel free to change it if you'd like! We'd love to see what the experts would say!
Thanks so much!
- Ah, Adept-ex may I jump in here? these things are p-r-e-t-t-y much useless. No offensive... But they don't really work. Most parents get onto wikipedia and check things out from there. And those that don't don't tend to take much interest, especially as in our case they see a anime/manga character and the older parents can be turned off.
- I mean no rudeness by this. We would have to also set up more links to make this worthwhile on the front page, as parents again won't naturally go to this. Its almost a complete waste of time, either way. *sigh*. I just thought I'd speak up on this page when I saw it... I know these pages are suppose to be helpful, but reality is they can be the most pointless page a wikia can create and maintain at the same time. :-/ One-Winged Hawk (talk) 23:29, May 7, 2015 (UTC)
- One must always remember that Vocaloid is an instrument, not a singer; you can't simply say "genre", "parental advisory" or "audience", for there are metal composers as prolific as the girl who writes the abnormally cute songs and the guy who writes songs with surreal lyrics... —umbreon126 04:14, May 8, 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input everyone! This is one of the most highly visited music wikias and this is the only template we have so far for music, so it was worth a try :) But I do agree it's a bit difficult considering how unique vocaloid is in the music world. I do think though that we should consider this site to be an important resource for Parents who might find themselves here. So maybe we can think of a better way to present the information. Have a wonderful weekend! Jamie (profile)•(talk) 16:54, May 8, 2015 (UTC)

A healthy food is one that you should be able to consume in moderate to large quantities (several hundreds of grams plus), regularly without having any negative symptoms, or at least the positive outweighing the negative.
You cannot eat 300g of ice cream or honey a day and it be healthy. You can eat 300g of fruit, meat, shellfish, vegetables, eggs, organ meat etc and be healthy.

Gad, I am read in this thread just for thrills. I embarked on the PBlueprint the first week of last December and then about March 1st, I started to reward myself with Hagen Daz etc. - pint sized and consume one scoop every other night.....but my April it was one pint in one sitting once a week, then twice a week, then three times a week. Otherwise everything on the up and up or so I thought....spiked in with gluten free over treating episodes. Four weeks I called a halt to it....went through the withdrawal which lasted longer than I wanted....well, I am back on the straight and narrow. 196 lbs four weeks ago. 190 today.
What you are saying is that, because you can't eat large volumes of honey or ice cream, it is unhealthy to eat in moderation, such as a small dessert? I personally believe that if your diet is already balanced and nutritious, you should be 100% fine (and may even benefit) from having things you enjoy included in it, provided they're not harmful to you. I'd rather have a scoop or two of coconut ice cream on bananas drizzled in a bit of honey after eating a full meal of meat/vegetables/starches/whatever than eat another plate of meat/vegetables/starches/whatever. I generally find most people are the same.
If you are really lazy, slice up 2 or 3 bananas, freeze them, and blend them together. You might need to add a splash of water to make it blend, but don't add much. You could also use a splash of heavy cream if you have some, but not much.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Marks Daily Apple Forum mobile app
I didn't read it as an all-or-nothing proposal. I read it as a relative comparison between foods as to which is healthier based on how much one can eat of each food.
I also think each person has his/her own line to draw as far as how much of a particular food to eat. Mark encourages a line at 80/20.
I think the point being made was that while one can eat a ton of something like broccoli with melted butter (and be very healthy), the same is not true of ice cream and honey. Therefore caution should be used.
No one was saying that we should eliminate all desserts. But it is likely true that some people will have their line drawn in a more healthy position than others.

Editor's Note: This article is part of our 2013 Tax Tips series. Robert Flach is an expert with almost 40 years of experience as a tax professional and also blogs as The Wandering Tax Pro.
NEW YORK (MainStreet) While the average taxpayer tends to avoid thinking about taxes until the approaching April 15 deadline forces him to, once the ball drops in Times Square at midnight on December 31 and the New Year is rung in, there is very little that can be done to cut your 2013 tax bill.
But during the last two months of the year you can do a great deal to reduce your liability.
Sit down with paper and pencil, and list your taxable income and allowable deductions to date. Using your 2012 return as a guide, prepare a projected 2013 tax return. From this beginning, you can decide what steps to take to make sure you pay the absolute least amount of federal, state and local income tax for 2013.
Before I begin let me point out some important items that you should keep in mind -
- There are no year-end tax planning strategies that apply to all taxpayers in all cases. Year-end actions must be evaluated in the context of the facts and circumstances of your individual situation.
- You must consider the state and local tax consequences of your year-end actions. And also beware of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). While a year-end strategy may reduce your "regular" federal income tax for 2011, it may end up costing you additional state income taxes or make you fall victim to AMT.
- Your first criteria for evaluating any financial transaction you are considering should always be economic. Tax considerations should come second.
- Be sure to review your year-end situation with your tax professional before taking any actions.

The University of Texas-Pan American will conduct a memorial service honoring Dr. Joseph Wiener Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. in the Student Union Theater.
Wiener, 62, a world-renowned mathematician, honored teacher and devoted family man, died Aug. 27 in an automobile accident. Faculty, staff, students and the public are invited to the memorial service.
Wiener received a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Leningrad in 1964. He immigrated to the United States in November 1978 with his wife, Bella, and two children and was a UTPA mathematics professor from 1979 till his death.
His research interests spanned the areas of differential equations, generalized functions, hybrid dynamical systems and mathematical modeling. He wrote more than 150 articles and four books, served on editorial boards of three journals and received three University Distinguished Faculty awards.
In 23 years at UTPA, Wiener attracted international attention by his legendary research, inspired hundreds of students with his infectious enthusiasm and encouraged colleagues with his vision and kindness.
And other strains of woe, which now seem woe,
Compared with loss of thee will not seem so.
Shakespeare, Sonnet 90
One month has passed since that terrible day in which a tragic, cruel and senseless accident took your life and deprived us of your living and loving presence.
We wish to express to you and to the world our feelings of terrible grief over this painful loss. We have been deprived of you, and the world has become a grimmer, unhappier place since you left. We feel that you had so much more to contribute to humanity, just as you have always done. We miss your presence, laughter, generosity, dignity, wisdom and goodness. We even miss the difficult times.
We shall grieve for you and honor you on this day and on each day to come. Today, we remember you once more, as you always were, and we vow that you will live in our memories, in our everyday lives, in our words and deeds. You will always inspire us, because your life and presence were a source of wonder and continuous inspiration to your family. We know that you will be there for us to keep us strong, wise, kind and loving, just as you would have wanted us to be.
We take this opportunity to thank the hundreds of friends, family members, students, colleagues, the Administration of The University of Texas-Pan American, the Department of Mathematics, and each of you for the outpouring of love, support, and generosity expressed in word and deed, in cards, flowers, gracious tokens of food and sympathies, through generous contributions to the Joseph Wiener Memorial Scholarship for Mathematics at The University of Texas-Pan American.
Joseph Wiener deserves to be honored and remembered in this respectful and loving way, and we reach out with deepest gratitude and appreciation to each of you whose life has been touched by his presence.

The monument to the Soviet army in central Sofia is no stranger to graffiti, which pops right back up as soon as the monument is washed every spring.
But on the morning of June 18 2011, passers-by were treated to more than just the usual graffiti tags and anti-communist slogans. The sculpture composition at the base of the monument was painted overnight to turn the metal soldiers into well-known pop culture icons; the inscription below the composition proclaimed it to be "in step with the times".
Comic book characters led the way, with The Mask, Batman's nemesis the Joker, Wolverine of X-Men fame, Superman and Captain America all featured, joined by Santa Claus and Ronald McDonald, among others. The flag held by the soldiers was painted in the stars and stripes of the US flag.
The artists behind the colourful re-imagining of the monument did not leave a clue to their identity and no one had stepped forward to claim responsibility, but speculation in social media and internet noticeboards connected the paint job to the Sofia Design Week 2011, which ends on June 19.
An unnamed Sofia city hall official, quoted by Sega daily, said that authorities would try to find the culprits and would seek to clean up the monument, but it was unlikely to happen right away.
mbkirova, what soviet legacy? From what I see, this monument signifies the act of freeing the country from fascists. If this task really was left to the depicted comics characters then I bet the 'artist' would be spending these moments in a concentration camp (assuming it was allowed to even be born).
Ha ha haa! It's really funny...
It's not just funny, it really says something. I know some Bulgarians were seriously put out by the paint job, but considering the soviet legacy in Bulgaria, it's worth it. The modern battleground is US pop culture as the imperialist, and this person knew what he was doing. Follow the art, always!

Sussex — A 75,000-square-foot YMCA facility and a new, 45,000-square-foot civic center may be built on the existing municipal government campus on Main Street at an estimated cost of $14 million to village taxpayers, according to a tentative development partnership between the Village of Sussex and the YMCA of Central Waukesha County.
A conceptual outline of the partnership agreement was approved by the YMCA Board of Directors April 15. Village trustees gave the village staff informal approval to continue to pursue the development agreement during a closed door meeting last week that appears to have violated the state's open meetings law.
According to the tentative conceptual agreement, the village will donate to the YMCA approximately $7 million to help built a $14 million to $15 million facility on village property that will include two gymnasiums, a fitness center, and a swimming facility that will include a pool for swimming laps and a family fun aquatic center.
Raising funds
The partnership agreement and the construction of the Y facility is contingent upon the Y being able to raise the $7 to $8 million to pay for its share of the construction costs. Construction on the project would begin in 2017.
In exchange for the village's donation, village residents will be allowed to join the YMCA at a discounted membership rate and the village will be allowed to use Y facilities for village recreational programs.
The village will use either bank notes or bonds to borrow the money for the $7 million contribution, according to Village Administrator Jeremy Smith.
Smith estimates the donation will cost a typical village owner of a home valued at $280,000 an additional $12 per year for 15 years.
Trustee excited
Village Trustee Pat Tetzlaff, who said she was "every excited" about the development proposal, suggested the cost to village residents will be made up by increased economic growth and an increased tax base resulting from downtown redevelopment, as well as improved recreational facilities, including a swimming pool.
"I cannot tell you how many years there have been discussions about a swimming pool for the village," she said.
The L-shaped building is expected to front Main Street, stretching from the Pauline Haass Library east to near the Associated Bank, and then turn north towards the existing parking lot in the rear of the existing village hall. The existing village hall and the Mindemann home along Main Street would be demolished to make way for the new structure.
The existing boulevard entrance to the municipal campus would be replaced and a new entrance located about 150 feet to the east, between the existing village hall and the Associated Bank, across the street from the Piggly Wiggly parking lot right-turn-only exit.
Although YMCA officials have indicated the new facility would generate about a 1,000 cars a day in additional traffic along Main Street, village officials are unclear about some of the improvements that might be made to facilitate the traffic.
Smith said no decisions have been reached yet regarding how the triangular-shaped Main Street/Silver Spring Drive intersection might be reconfigured.
Village taxpayers will be asked to pay an additional $7 million to $8 million for the new civic center, which would be constructed on the existing parking lot and driveway between the Pauline Haass library and the existing village hall.
Smith said the civic center is expected to be three stories. One floor will be used as additional space for the library. A second floor will be for village government administrative offices, and recreational and senior citizens programs. Another floor will be devoted to not-for-profit community service groups including Sussex Outreach Services (SOS), the food pantry, and possibly the historical society.
Three connected buildings
The three buildings — the Y, the civic center, and the existing Pauline Haass Library — will be connected by a series of interior corridors, Smith said.
There will be parking for 300 vehicles, some of which will be located on portions of what is now Weyer Park.
Smith emphasized that there is adequate open space on the north side of Spring Creek to allow playground equipment and other park amenities to be moved from south of the creek to north of the creek to make way for a larger parking lot.
Chris Becker, chief executive officer of the YMCA of Central Waukesha County, said the village's willingness to locate the Y facility downtown and help pay for its cost were particularly attractive to the board of directors.
Becker said the downtown location would make the Y more accessible to children and seniors.
The Waukesha-based Y organization has been considering a Sussex site for more than a decade. In the early and mid 2000s, they had anticipated building a new facility on farmland south of the Kohl's retail center. In 2008, plans shifted to a site on about 20 acres of land on the southwestern corner of Highway 164 and Lisbon Road.
"One of the most frequently asked questions at Village Hall has been what is the latest on the Y," Smith said
