Profile Picture Changes
As per the Image Policy, nominate and discuss changes to the profile pictures of the character articles here and only here. The typical requirements for a profile picture are that it shows the character facing forward, in their typical attire and should not be battle-worn. They should be centered, have good lighting, and be of good quality. Candidates also must have valid and complete and  templates attached to them or else they will be rejected.

Suggestion for '5 y/o ghost boy' new profile pic

Kensei
Since episode 278 had such great Vizard mug-shots, I think it's about time we went through and changed vizards profiles, most of whom are quite terrible and violates are image policies. Kensei's current profile violates our policy by not facing the came, being side on etc, etc. As such, this profile change is high priority. Tinni  (Talk)  17:40, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

At best, I think this (and some of the others) would only be a good temporary pic until a better one is available. The next couple of episodes will have many of the Vizards displayed, so we may get better options. Seriously, we need something without those shaded borders, as it makes the image look strange for any profile image. If there's nothing better available in the future, then we can probably stick with these permanently. Arrancar109 (Talk)  20:38, July 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't really think that's a big deal. Because in most cases, the shaded borders can be cut out. I think for now, I'll change the worst of the offending profile images: Kensai, Rose, Love and Mashiro. Hachi, Shinji and Hiyori can wait and I Lisa didn't get a good shot in episode 278 anyway. O and yes, I'll cut out the shading. ^.^ Tinni   (Talk)  02:12, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

There! Trimmed it doesn't look too bad. Although Love, Rose and Mashiro came out the best with zero sign of the shading. Tinni  (Talk)  02:37, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Im questioning all these images. As Arrancar109 pointed out they seem temp placeholders to later pics in the up coming weeks. The biggest issue is that i feel like i have to watch every upload made cause of the image gallery. Not only to categorize the images and gifs but to determine what has no purpose and should just be deleted. Any uploads not of official use make the job more impossible then it already seems as this is all new.--Salubri (Talk)  02:56, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I fail to see what you are getting at. The Vizard profile pictures were atrocious and now they are not. The images I uploaded are not not without purpose and are for official use as profile images. There is zero evidence that we are going to get any suitable images in upcoming weeks given that the Vizards will engage in battle pretty much starting next week. Indeed, aside from the first five or so minutes of next weeks episode, the Vizards will spend most of the time with masks on next week and after that it'll be questionable if we can get profile images without facial wounds. In addition, while the trim on Kensai's image did leave some black shading, I would like to know what fault there is now with Love, Rose or Mashiro's profile pics considering Arrancar109's only objection was the shaded borders and those could be cut cleanly away for most of these images. There is no issue here. Tinni   (Talk)  03:19, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

You've made your point im making mine. Doing the image gallery is a large job and i question if these pics taking from a single shot are good enough in general compared to single featured ones. If better ones present themselves it will be a pointless issue. The overall issue is the image project as we have discussed from now on any upload is gonna be questioned under the new guidelines for images soon to be set up. There is zero evidence that we will keep them, which should be kept in mind as the anime tends to flesh things out we may have better opportunities, which will be taken into consideration if presented. For the purpose of being plain im not so much concerned about the Vizard pics but pictures on this site in general. There are a whole number of the same picture uploaded just cluttering up the database and totally unused and then they become lost images for the next month or couple of years. I have found plenty in the last couple of days. Hence if they aren't deleted they need to be addressed to someone so they can be instead of just lingering in limbo. Salubri (Talk)  03:37, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you are making a general point, then surely it's time to move this discussion to the forums. In addition, I would like to point out that the images uploaded for profile image discussions have always been better managed then other pictures as once a decision is made, it is easy to go through and delete rejected images. So seriously, stop hijaking this thread already! If you have no objection to Kensei's image other then "something better might come-up", well let's resume this discussion when something better comes up. Tinni   (Talk)  04:03, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I'm really not into this pic and while I get Tinni's point in that the Vizards are getting into battle pretty soon next episode, this picture is not an improvement compared to the previous one IMO. It's way off in angle, the previous at least had some sense of facing forward, it was just his eyes facing to the ground. Even if the shading was cropped in this new pic, it's still very noticeable and definitely not good. I'm just not into it. I'd again say we wait 'til next week before doing changes because I really don't feel they're all that necessary. That's my opinion though. -- Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  05:16, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see this picture as being better than the old one at all. Love & Rose's are definitely an improvement and Masihro's is alright. But I cannot agree with this one as Kensei's profile pic. Black shading like that should not be on a profile picture and it is very distracting. It is a bad picture and should not be used imo. I really hope there are better ones in the future, or during the Vizard training of Ichigo, as neither of those pictures are good enough. 10:18, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... since everybody but me seem to not like the 278 pic. I have restored the old pic and that'll remain until and unless we find something better. The preview of 279 points to at least one or two shots of Kensei from the next episode. So here's hoping they'll be good enough. Tinni  (Talk)  10:40, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Heres a (potential?) option--RexGodwin 15:53, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Violates facing the camera rule. Tinni   (Talk)  16:06, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok folks, this is it. Kensei disappears from the anime now, never to be seen again! :( So we must now make a choice! I vote for Option D. He's facing the camera and it has his full head and shoulder. It's not the typical Kensei pose but the typical Kensei pose is actually side on and the best example of that is actually Option C, which I am happy to go with as well. But Option D meets all our typical profile image requirements. Tinni   (Talk)  12:55, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Option D seems good. I wouldn't rule out Kensei appearing in future episodes in filler scenes to pad out the episodes, but he would have his Bankai visible in any pics from such scenes, so any picture will have to be from this or previous episodes. 20:40, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

As much as Option D meets our usual requirements, I can't help but speak up about how low the drawing quality is. A child could've done better in my opinion. If it's between any of these options and the current picture, I'd vote for the current picture. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  23:19, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with Lia, that doesnt look like Kensei, of the current crop, I really like E. However I know their are better pictures to be had from this episode. I would get them myself but stupid HP cannot seem to figure out why I can't take screenshots. So I vote E unless a better pic comes along--God (Pray)  00:01, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I expected more from that episode for Kensei, it was a really hard episode to obtain a great profile picture, a out of those shown, I prefer Option C But I've added two pictures here from that episode, really the only two I could get and one is only a cropped version but here, they might be better!! SunXia (talk) 03:21, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

This is what I mean by, Kensei's normal pose is "side on". Kensei looks absolutely ridiculous facing forward and you can tell the anime studio really struggled with it this episode. Kensei's most awesome shots from the last episode was when he was a little side on and in the middle of combat. But that introduced awkward body contortions, like the intrusion of Kensei's hand in option E. To me, the most "Kensei" of the current selections is Option C or Option E. Even the current image is a distortion as to me at least, Kensei looks younger then he actually is. Anyway, below how the votes are tallying right now. Tinni  (Talk)  04:00, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Option C: Me, SunXia
 * Option D: Me, Yyp - Lia totally against
 * Option E: Godisme

I'm gonna throw my support towards option C. In all honesty, Kensei's head is ridiculously symmetrical, hairstyle, face, and all. Because of this, those frontal shots look plain ridiculous, and make his head look tiny for some reason (the lack of depth doesn't help either). In option C, he is at least looking towards the "camera," plus it gives us a nice close up of his ear rings. Not to mention that it has the typical Kensei expression. It still doesn't fit the policy to the letter, but the current picture violates it in almost every way possible. Mohrpheus (talk) 04:06, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

I could go for C, I still like E the best but C could work. I have to super strongly oppose D though, it looks utterly ridiculous--God (Pray)  04:08, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, if there are no objections, C it is. Final vote count for Option C was me, SunXia, Mohrpheus and Godisme. 16:37, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Amagai
I'm going to finish overhauling Amagai's article soon, but before I do, I think we need to change his profile image, as the lighting in it is off. I found 2 shots that I liked, but if anyone else wants to put up any other options, that's cool, but I think we should change it to something with Amagai in the daylight, facing the camera (before using his Bankai). Arrancar109 (Talk)  16:54, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

I like 187 as it is a little closer and I like the expression but 168 is good as well--God (Pray)  17:18, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Hiyori
Since episode 278 had such great Vizard mug-shots, I think it's about time we went through and changed vizards profiles, most of whom are quite terrible and violates are image policies. Hiyori's current one isn't bad but the quality of the 278 image is better IMO. Tinni  (Talk)  18:25, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't go for this one. I'd say we wait for future eps, because the current pic isn't a disaster, it's quite good in my opinion and doesn't violate any of our policies, so Hiyori isn't really in desperate need of change, and the pic from 278 is facing away from the camera, has a very odd expression and those shadows aren't looking good in any way. Even if cropped, they'd take away a significant portion of the image (one of the pigtails at least) so I really don't think this is an option. I'd say we wait for 279. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  05:04, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hiyori current pic needs to change but we are in no hurry. We'll take our time with her (and Shinji for that matter). Tinni   (Talk)  05:35, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

The 278 picture certainly is not better. It is rather poor in fact (aside from the blackness, she is not even facing forward like she is in the current picture). This is a bad image to use, so I say leave it until we get something better from later episodes. And if there is nothing better, then my vote is to keep the current one. 08:59, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Some more from episode 285. 21:28, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I like Ep285 C. It's really captures her perpetually angry expression. Tinni  (Talk)  21:43, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Tinni, 285 C is a very good shot. It is a true expression of Hiyori--God (Pray)  01:24, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Just firing in my two cents, I love Option C as well from Eppy 285, it's a great picture and doesn't show Hiyori as tired as she in the current picture, shows her more feisty side!! SunXia (talk) 03:04, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, if there is no objects, option C it is. I wish we could have agreed on a image change for Shinji. Now he's going to be the only vizard with a seriously old and sad looking profile. I mean, the anime has introduced a more vivid colour palette but Shinji's pic is still has that sad and tired colour palette. But I suppose the same is true of Kenpachi, Yachiru and anyone else who doesn't have a picture from HD episodes. Tinni  (Talk)  16:37, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Tosen
I don't like Tosen much but I do think he deserves a better profile picture then he current has. How about Option A from episode 280? Tinni  (Talk)  14:13, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

lol. im usually quite biased of my own pics, but that one is really good too. hmm id go with either one, honestly.--RexGodwin 16:23, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Option B is not suitable imo (too heavily shadowed). A is alright, but I'd prefer to see if we get any better ones before he pulls out his Hollow mask. 20:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm with Yyp on this. Let's wait for at least another episode or so (depending on how long it takes for Tosen to get his mask) before voting. I mean, out of these two, I'd say A is the way to go, since B is heavily shadowed, but I want to wait until after the next episode(s) come out, so we can possibly get better options in the future before picking something. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  04:30, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Byakuya
I'm proposing for a better pic of him because hes not exactly facing forward so could people suggest some pictures and the admins could decideKaran8 (talk) 23:28, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

The current one is fine. Besides, none of these would work any better than the current one. He's visibly battle-worn in some of them, and all of them are not in daylight lighting. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  00:22, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that none of these will work. First, not a single one of them has valid or  templates, plus they are all too dark, some are not facing the camera, have background distractions, battledamage. 11:16, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I dislike these pictures as well!! They're dull and not the best images they can show!! SunXia (talk) 01:31, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

ive added an option 6 if the admins want to delete the rest they can and how do you change the name of the pictureKaran8 (talk) 02:06, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Still doesn't have him facing the camera. The current image is fine. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  05:38, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, it is not an improvement on the current, imo, which should be left up. 16:04, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Omake Image Gallery
I would like for an Omake Image Gallery setup to go with Omake Segments article. We have a number of images from omakes that have been uploaded for feature picture and/or personal use and I think an Omake Gallery could useful. Tinni  (Talk)  23:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Volume Sketch Gallery
I think it's a good idea to have a designated gallery for all the volume sketches. I realize there are few (if any) in actual use, but I believe as the Bleach Wiki we should have all these images in stock. WD  Talk to me  20:33, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fraccion Image Gallery
I was wondering if there were any plans for an image gallery for the various Fraccion.

I think it would be a good idea as I've seen lots of spare images hanging around the wiki and some are pretty cool.

Also would it be a big image gallery, with all the Fraccion sharing one? Or would they each get individual galleries.

If any admins would like to discuss this, I would be happy to respond quickly. :)TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:32, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Each individual Fracción member would have their own image galleries. I don't see what good it'll do to group them all together. It'll be like grouping Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Aramaki's pages together, just because they all serve under Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi. I think the only individuals who will have their pages grouped together are Shinigami and their respective Zanpakuto Spirits with them, generic Hollows, generic Toju, and generic Arrancar. I think that would be it. Every other character would have their own image gallery. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  22:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
