Voting
Had you read the rules for voting under the Bleach Wiki:Voting which everyone should be reading. There are a number of reasons that a vote in unacceptable. Most users do not understand this is not vote for your favorite character this is a vote on which article is the best within the past month and thus deserving of being featured on the main page. Beyond that some of the newer rules for voting state that a user has to be on for a month before they can vote. They have to make actual contributions to wiki (thus not just talking on forums and talk pages) and they have to have been on recently. Unfortunately you haven't been a member for a month so you do not meet the requirements this month but if your a continuing user your vote can be counted if it follows the criteria for the next months vote. The reason this is in place is there have been a large influx of new users popping up only to vote each month, and it seems that some may have been from someone with multiple user accounts trying to tip the vote in his picks favor. Also it is determined to curtail picking the article of ones favorite character. This is greatly discouraged so now voting is only the right of actual contributers who make good faith edits.Salubri (Talk)  06:37, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
