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.

Aizen
the current one is horrible how about this one? --RexGodwin 15:02, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * You are going to have to explain what is so horrible about the current 1.09MB high quality image that you want to replace it with a 234 KB medium quality, at best, image that is marred by shadows. Tinni   (Talk)  15:12, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

sorry, that was a lil rude. i just mean the face. i mean look at it; it looks so off. besides this one has better animation and is facing the camera moreso. the shadows don't detract too much, and who cares about the size too much? it is a high quality pic.--RexGodwin 15:43, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

There is absolutely nothing high quality about these shots and Option B is just deformed. My vote is against both these pictures. I am not against changing the current pictures, I can see how Aizen's look in the current picture might be a little too "mean". But we can honestly do better. Tinni  (Talk)  16:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Option B is terribly distorted and would not even be considered, while the other is not an improvement on the current one, imo. Second, those images break the Bleach Wiki:Image Policy as they do not have and  templates attached to them. Thus they cannot be used as profile images. Please familiarize yourself with the policy (which has recently been updated) before proposing any more pictures. Yyp (Talk) 16:06, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

I like the current one. It is a perfect look for Aizen and is a very high quality image. The proposed replacements are not any good--God (Pray)  22:35, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

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. Yyp (Talk) 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)

Hirako
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. Shinji's current one isn't bad but the quality of the 278 image is better IMO. Tinni  (Talk)  18:20, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

You are killing me! I love both! I think the current one is gorgeous, I don't see any problem with it at all. But 278 is amazing and it has Shinji-ness dripping from every pixel. The only problem I have with it is that it's so zoomed out, so you don't see the face details (not that he has many), but I still like it as it is. Though a close-up to that scene with the same expression would be lovely and I'd probably give it my vote right away. Because we're not getting any Shinji picture after Tosen cuts his forehead/eyebrow (unless the anime pulls the same trick of the vanishing/unvanishing wound). Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  06:00, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I found this one near the end of 278, and it isn't as zoomed out though the head is cropped which bothers me. The PV showed a very pretty scene of Shinji with his hat on that promised to give some decent shots if these don't work. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  07:38, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I think the current one is better than both of these options. Having the hat in the picture would be a nice bonus, but "Proposed change from episode 278" is too zoomed out and has Hachi in the background. Will keep an eye out for more options over the next couple of weeks, but I'm happy with the current picture remaining. Yyp (Talk) 10:15, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Since someone is going to bring it up, here is a pic of Hirako from ep279 with the hat. I still prefer the current picture. Yyp (Talk) 16:12, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I support hat Shinji pic. Tinni   (Talk)  01:25, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am with Tinni on this one. Hat and Blade Shinji ftw--God (Pray)  20:04, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Mashiro
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. Mashiro's current pic can really do with an upgrade. Tinni  (Talk)  17:47, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Following on the from the conversation on Kensai's talk page I trimmed the picture to get rid of the black shade line and with that gone, I think this is a vast improvement on the old profile pic and have therefore changed it. But please an eye out in the upcoming episodes for something better. Just remember that we can't use images with facial wounds, sweat etc. Tinni   (Talk)  02:41, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

The body positioning is a bit awkward, but I'm doubtful that we'll get anything else less awkward as she is pretty much full time mask from ehre on until Wonderweiss smashes her in the face and I can't see there being a good angle in that scene. Yyp (Talk) 10:19, July 7, 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)

Hachi
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. Hachi's current one isn't bad but the quality of the 278 image is better IMO. Tinni  (Talk)  17:25, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I just trimmed the image to get rid of the black shading that was raising some objections and I really think that this image now is vast improvement on the current one. Tinni  (Talk)  03:28, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

The pic isn't bad, and it's good that those horrible shades are gone but I don't think it's that much of an improvement because it's way too zoomed out IMO and his head looks too tiny. Let's not give up on 279, we might not get much of a chance, but we might still get some good shots. Even if we don't, in Hacchi's case, he didn't get injuries in his face during his fight until the very end, so even if we may have to wait a little longer we might get some better chance to have a nice shot. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  05:30, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

"Episode 278 Option 2" is fine. Option 1 is too zoomed out. But we should keep an eye out for future episodes. Hachi's image is not so bad that it needs to be rushed. Yyp (Talk) 09:28, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, 278 Option 2 is way better, I could almost vote for it. But I also agree that Hacchi is one of those that is not in desperate need of a new picture, so we can take our time and see if future episodes bring out other options. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  09:36, July 7, 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. Yyp (Talk) 08:59, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Mashiro Lieutenant Pic
I've been thinking for a bit that Mashiro's current lieutenant image seems a bit cartoonish. I know she acts like that almost all the time, but I think it's important to display her normal facial features instead of a more cartoonish one. I took this screenshot from Episode 209, which actually happens just a few frames before the current image. Anyway, I think this would be a more suitable image for Mashiro's image in her History section than the current one. Any thoughts guys? Arrancar109 (Talk)  06:36, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I've had the same concern as you about that picture, I think the proposed change is good except for the fact that the glasses are missing, which is one of the main traits of her outfit during the Pendulum arc. Maybe we could do without them, I don't know. I think we could look out for another shot with the glasses visible and that doesn't look so cartoonish Lia Schiffer   (Talk)  06:56, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... I didn't notice that at first. Thanks for pointing that out Lia. I've uploaded another pic. Facing the camera directly isn't a necessity for History pics. Furthermore, we don't necessarily need an up-close pic of her in her lieutenant uniform, but we need something suitable to distinguish her features enough. I've found 2 other shots. I think B is a potential candidate. C would work if we could get the RAW version of it; the sub that I downloaded didn't have an opportunity in this scene for us to use it, so if anyone could get a better version of C without the subs, I think that would be our best shot. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  07:09, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Found one more. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  07:19, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that we should get rid of the cartoonish one. Options B & D are both good. Either will do imo. Yyp (Talk) 10:56, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
