| We should use as much Japanese as possible because: 1) it is a uniting language for people in Idol Culture; and 2) it helps when we want to conduct research in Japanese. So where applicable, please Title (Header 1) things in their native language, using the Native Name with the Romanization in parenthesis if needed. For example, 山口百恵(Yamaguchi Momoe). However, when [[creating entries]] we create them with the Romanized Names for the wiki's urls. | We should use as much Japanese as possible because: 1) it is a uniting language for people in Idol Culture; and 2) it helps when we want to conduct research in Japanese.

| Culture and Events Entries are the main exception to the rules here. With this wiki in most pages we will be attempting to be as brief as possible, but in these we want to be as detailed and verbose as possible. We still want many links to articles and videos on the subject matter, but the entries themselves should be as detailed as possible. | Culture and Events Entries are the main exception to the rules here.
