== I Need Your Help on a MASSIVE Project! ==
I honestly don't know where to start, so I'll start from the beginning:
In 2016, Wikizilla became independent from Wikia/Fandom and has become one of the greatest places for a kaiju fan such as myself to be. I used to be a big editor here back then. However, there was a problem. I am a '''huge''' Ultraman fan. Unfortunately, there are no independent Ultraman Wikis. Why is this a problem? Well, it's a long story, so I'll try to keep it as short as possible. I did something that was a little ambitious. No, '''very''' ambitious.
I founded [https://tsuburaya.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page TsuburayaWiki]. I know it's currently on Wikia/Fandom, well, that's because I needed to start somewhere. Why did I found TsuburayaWiki? It's because, well, look at the other Ultraman Wikis. They are '''nothing''' like Wikizilla. The older articles are plagiarized from Wikipedia, the grammar is '''very''' inconsistent and their galleries for articles are lacking and outdated. Not to mention that half of their articles use the incorrect names for the monsters and aliens. Yes, they are trying to improve, but trying is not enough. That's why I started from scratch and founded TsuburayaWiki. Besides, it's not like Ultra Wiki would want to be independent anyway.
Let me address some important details about TsuburayaWiki. First, most articles have "To be added" in place of real paragraphs. Why didn't I take the time to write paragraphs on the wiki's articles? It's because I don't have all the time I need to do that. I know that paragraphs are what make an article, but look at my work on [https://tsuburaya.fandom.com/wiki/Kanegon Kanegon] and [https://tsuburaya.fandom.com/wiki/Horoboros Horoboros'] [https://tsuburaya.fandom.com/wiki/Ultraman_Z_(Series) ''Ultraman Z''] sections. They are '''much''' longer than the other Ultraman Wikis' articles. They simply take all day. I am not a paragraph editor. I am an image editor. That is why I can't do this alone anymore. I also am going to college next year and I absolutely won't be able to edit there as much as I'd like to.
For the past four years, I have created over 1,000 articles and done exactly 20,735 edits on TsuburayaWiki, and I have learned so much. I have kept a close eye on official websites like [https://ultramangalaxy.com/ Ultraman Galaxy] and [https://m-78.jp/ m-78.jp] and have tried my best to stay up to date. I created the logos and backgrounds myself. I need my work to pay off somehow. That is why I need your help to make TsuburayaWiki the most complete and efficient Ultraman Wiki ever. Also, did you know that the only thing that makes Ultra Wiki affiliated with Wikizilla is that both Koopa and Lamango, two Wikizilla editors, also edit on Ultra Wiki? That is it. It's time to move to TsuburayaWiki, the most accurate and ambitious Ultraman Wiki out there. As I said, I am going to college next year and I need you guys to take the reins while I'm gone. Don't worry, I'll be back... Someday.
I appreciate all the support that I can get for TsuburayaWiki. You guys taught me how to be a wiki editor. I grew up with you guys and I always loved your work. It has inspired me to create my own Wiki and it has been an incredible journey. I hope you stay safe during this crazy year and help keep TsuburayaWiki going and make it an independent site. Take your time, as long as you keep up to date with Ultraman Galaxy and m-78.jp!
P.S. Maybe we could change the name of TsuburayaWiki to Tsubupedia or something like that? I'll make you all admins once you join. Love you guys!

I Need Your Help on a MASSIVE Project!

I honestly don't know where to start, so I'll start from the beginning:

In 2016, Wikizilla became independent from Wikia/Fandom and has become one of the greatest places for a kaiju fan such as myself to be. I used to be a big editor here back then. However, there was a problem. I am a huge Ultraman fan. Unfortunately, there are no independent Ultraman Wikis. Why is this a problem? Well, it's a long story, so I'll try to keep it as short as possible. I did something that was a little ambitious. No, very ambitious.

I founded TsuburayaWiki. I know it's currently on Wikia/Fandom, well, that's because I needed to start somewhere. Why did I found TsuburayaWiki? It's because, well, look at the other Ultraman Wikis. They are nothing like Wikizilla. The older articles are plagiarized from Wikipedia, the grammar is very inconsistent and their galleries for articles are lacking and outdated. Not to mention that half of their articles use the incorrect names for the monsters and aliens. Yes, they are trying to improve, but trying is not enough. That's why I started from scratch and founded TsuburayaWiki. Besides, it's not like Ultra Wiki would want to be independent anyway.

Let me address some important details about TsuburayaWiki. First, most articles have "To be added" in place of real paragraphs. Why didn't I take the time to write paragraphs on the wiki's articles? It's because I don't have all the time I need to do that. I know that paragraphs are what make an article, but look at my work on Kanegon and Horoboros' Ultraman Z sections. They are much longer than the other Ultraman Wikis' articles. They simply take all day. I am not a paragraph editor. I am an image editor. That is why I can't do this alone anymore. I also am going to college next year and I absolutely won't be able to edit there as much as I'd like to.

For the past four years, I have created over 1,000 articles and done exactly 20,735 edits on TsuburayaWiki, and I have learned so much. I have kept a close eye on official websites like Ultraman Galaxy and m-78.jp and have tried my best to stay up to date. I created the logos and backgrounds myself. I need my work to pay off somehow. That is why I need your help to make TsuburayaWiki the most complete and efficient Ultraman Wiki ever. Also, did you know that the only thing that makes Ultra Wiki affiliated with Wikizilla is that both Koopa and Lamango, two Wikizilla editors, also edit on Ultra Wiki? That is it. It's time to move to TsuburayaWiki, the most accurate and ambitious Ultraman Wiki out there. As I said, I am going to college next year and I need you guys to take the reins while I'm gone. Don't worry, I'll be back... Someday.


I appreciate all the support that I can get for TsuburayaWiki. You guys taught me how to be a wiki editor. I grew up with you guys and I always loved your work. It has inspired me to create my own Wiki and it has been an incredible journey. I hope you stay safe during this crazy year and help keep TsuburayaWiki going and make it an independent site. Take your time, as long as you keep up to date with Ultraman Galaxy and m-78.jp!


P.S. Maybe we could change the name of TsuburayaWiki to Tsubupedia or something like that? I'll make you all admins once you join. Love you guys!
