 * Edit Wars

THIS BLOG was written by Kamikaze and addresses one of the major offenses here at Bleach Wiki!!

Edit Warring is not productive in the least and will not achieve the results you want, will only result in a ban!!

Re: Images cropped or not cropped reason
Hi there, sorry if I came off passive-aggressive in that summary - that was meant as a response to/criticism of the trend that multiple users have partaken in, rather than just you, and I didn't mean to discourage you from continuing to contribute here over one thing. That said, the answer to your question is that it's very much a wiki-by-wiki policy - and on this wiki, we do crop pretty much every image we upload to different extents for different reasons. Every non-title screencap from episodes after 167 are meant to be trimmed to an aspect ratio matching/upscaled from 540x350px to show more detail and provide a better accompaniment to the summaries we write, while profile images are more flexible/case-by-case but generally follow the rule of "focus on the subject"; that is, cut the empty space on either side of a character's head and (usually) below their shoulders or neck to focus solely on their head, face, and hair. So for that picture of Ichigo, we want it to be a roughly square shape as I cropped the image to in order to best show the details of his appearance. I hope that helps!--Xilinoc (talk) 01:36, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
