Articles
Please do not take away information that makes up a article, this at least your second time doing so. If you would like to add to it great, but you bring down the integrity of the article when you take away its substance. It clearly explains the mechanics of izuru's zanpakuto with proven information, you basically took two paragraphs worth of information and made it one small one, making that section unimportant. Salubri 15:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

With all due respect, the two paragraphs in question were redundant, repeating information that was stated from the very start of the section. My paragraph is smaller, but is all that is truly necessary to explain the zanpakuto's effect. Mohrpheus 15:37, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

It look likes anime based info. Just because he was in a fight recently and explained it a bit on the anime doesnt make that little info respectful of the article. if the grammar is off then fix it but its legitimate explanation. Salubri 15:41, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Very well. I apologize for any unwarranted intrusion. I'll be sure to follow your advice next time. Mohrpheus 15:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Im not trying to fight or anything but i see what you mean at second glance I took out the redundancy. If there is grammar checks or better wording feel free. Salubri 15:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Edits
The part of kido used in battle is not speculative, its based on what has been shown of kido use in the series. It clearly states that kido is effectively used in battle. Its also been shown that using it in battle is not entirely easy except for those well versed in it which is also proven. Its also a fact that spells require concentration and they take time to do the incantation and explains what ways user bypass it. Everything in that section is backed up. Your missing the point of section entirely if you haven't noticed all the basic users in combat are experts or higher and those that try to use it and arent well versed end up with bad effects happening. No one said it was impossible that its not the first choice to use as a weapon and that only skilled user engage in its use. Salubri 19:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Past/Present Tense
I'm sorry. I should have left u this message when I did this. If u have recently logged on & checked the main articles discussion page & saw your comment removed I'm responsible for this. I moved it to the watercooler, a more suitable location for it. I did this mainly because I wasn't sure how to answer your question, but Daigo623 did reply. After reading his comment I probably would have said a similar thing. Minato88 01:23, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Quotes
Hey, thanks for helping us with removing the pointless "Release Command, Zanpakuto Name!" quotes from character pages! I really appreciate the assistance. ^_^ Twocents 02:47, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Forum - Espada & Hogyoku
Greetings Mohrpheus. Just to let you know that I have moved your forum post on the Espada & the Hogyoku to this thread:Forum:The use of the. The two threads were merged as we are trying to reduce the number of similar threads in the watercooler and the topics they were covering were closely linked. --Yyp 20:52, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Policy and Standards Committee
Hi there Mohrpheus. I am Minato the Fukutaicho of the Policy and Standards Committee and I was curious if u might be interested in joining this group.

I have looked over u'or contributions and in accordance with the Qualifications of this Committee u are one of the Users here who is qualified for the job. Even if u do not know about this committee, it would be in u'or interest to read the link I have given u. Here are a list of the responsibilities.


 * Regularly assist in the committee projects
 * Quality check the work of committee members and non-members who participate in committee projects
 * Quality check the recent edits to articles, especially articles identified as high risk
 * Quality check articles in general
 * Assist members with edits and other issues
 * Roll-back vandalism

The Admins are the ones who decide whether u are granted the rank of Lieutenant on this Wikia and the position of Third Seat on the committee. If u do qualify u will be given Rollback Rights. I have talked with Tinni about the Third Seat and she has informed me that only the first two seats have official projects assigned to them.

If u u would like this position, u could nominate uorself or let me know u would like to join and I will nominate u. Minato 14:25, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

Srry bout that. The above message is for u. I copy and pasted some of it from Kisukeiscool's page so I wouldn't have to re-type it and I was supposed to change the name from Kisuke to Mohrpheus which I have doen. Anyway, would u be interested in the Third Seat position? Minato 20:42, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Above is the list of what u do. I have spoken to Tinni and only the 1st two seats have assigned projects to them so u don't have to worry about that. Any other info can be found on the Committee page itself. I am glad u are interested in joining. I think the other users feel that this is alot more work then it really is and have been somewhat scared of joining. To get to the point, would u like me to nominate u? Minato 20:51, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

The nomination is up and I wanted to say thanks. I don't see any reason why the Admins won't allow u on the Committee. I'm looking forward to working with u in the future. Minato 21:02, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Committee
I was wondering in light of your request to join the committee. I was wondering if your willing to not only do what is common role there but also whether your willing to head up project. Upon the inception of the committee it was based partly on Tinni's idea to do the various volumes and when Minato got on i put him in charge of anime side as he has the affinity for it rather then the manga. There are other projects that are also important so i wanted to ask would you be up for that before joining just so you know what your getting into responsibility wise. Salubri 08:27, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

If I may interject, I would prefer it if no more new projects got started yet. Unless Mohrpheus is particularly passionate about starting a project tacking a deficiency that is. The Anime Summary project is proving particularly difficult to manage and I think Minato would really appreciate the help. Not for writing summaries, Minato has a lot of people helping her with that. What's proving difficult is quality checking the summaries and adding other information like powers used, character lists and stuff like that. Minato can explan the problems better. But I think before we start any more projects we should get the ones we do have chugging along smoothly. Tinni 22:10, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

While I appreciate the situation Morpheous doesn't need to be a committee member to help with the anime portion. There are other projects on this wiki whether started or otherwise that need to be taken care of and putting them off even further doesn't help. You yourself state that Minato88 is already getting alot of help and if checking for the summaries is an issue then that should be a priority alongside adding the content. If made a committee member it kind of defeats the purpose of having the position if all he is gonna do is be another person helping as anyone else would, which is why i asked if he is willing to do his own project. Salubri 18:33, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Congrats
As affirmed by the other Admin they agree with the nomination. You therefore have been made a lieutenant on the wiki and therefore now possess rollback rights (side note: please dont abuse it, otherwise the other admin will come down on your head with a wrath and take it away). Also you are now the 3rd Seat of the Bleach Wiki:Policy & Standards Committee also reached through the community sidebar or just community page. Familiarize yourself with the additions on there as well as the Bleach Wiki:Policy and corresponding policies if you haven't already. so discussions are easier and have more room they can be had on the discussion page of the Policy & Standards Committee. Congrats. (p.s. ill converse with you at a later time if and when a project comes up as there are few but they need to be sorted out, that way you can help with the current ones before jumping into anything serious right away. Thanks for affirming your willing to help by the way. Salubri 19:09, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Sweet
Well, congratulations and welcome to the Committee. U r now a Lieutenant. Minato 11:25, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Reference
Hey Mohr can u help me with something. I can't find a reference for this: "By combining these two properties, Vizard can reabsorb the spiritual power that they themselves give off, making their techniques much more efficiently. They can also take it in from other sources, further boosting their power." This is part of what has been talked about on the Vizard talkpage. I want to remove it, but before I wondered if u had managed to dig up anything on it. Thanks. Minato 16:36, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hey thanks man, I can't find anything on it either. The whole thing seems like fanfic and speculation to me, but I can't get Salubri or another Admin to give me the go ahead to remove it. I'll wait until u contact me again and if u can't find anything, i'll just remove it anyway. Minato 18:51, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Omake segments
Hey Mohrpheus. There is a discussion going on about Anime Omake segments on Committee Discussion Page. Could u help out here? Minato 23:49, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

More References Needed
Hey Mohrpheus. I don't kno what Salubri has in mind but I have a favor to ask of u in regards to the Committee Discussion page. All of the information in regards to what I am asking can be found on the Committee discussion page titled References. Later. Minato 02:44, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Thats fine. For now if u could just add more characters to the list that would be good. Thnaks for checking in so fast. Minato 03:07, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mohrpheus, you seem to have gotten quite a lot of helpers for the reference project. They have done a number of pages and are keen to do more. When you get a chance, and I realise this time of the year doesn't yield a lot of free time for wiki editing, please check through their work and if you are satisfied with the state of the references, please mark the pages as "complete". Thanks and happy holidays. Tinni  (Talk)  07:16, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Committee Nominations
Hey Mohrpheus. Tinni made a suggestion that before the Admins decide on a Seated Member, they should first be screened by the Committee and the Admins liked it. So basically on the Committee Discussion page there is a section about the Nominations. We currently have 7 nominations.
 * User:Gold3263301
 * User:Nwang2011
 * User:TomServo101
 * User:Animeluvr92
 * User:GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON
 * User:SerialSniper14
 * User:KiranTheBoi

I went ahead and gave my votes and opinions on them, so u and Tinni still get to say what u guys think. Minato (Talk)  15:02, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Committee Box
Well the picture was left aligned. I went and removed the alignment and made the picture bigger because our box has more text. Hopefully it looks better. Feel free to adjust the Template:CommitteeBox to make it look right. Glad you liked the box. Tinni  (Talk)  23:15, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hinamori
Hey, I reverted you edit to the Hinamori's page as I had already undoned the pic change and your undo, undid the information that was added to the article following episode 254. I hope you don't mind. Tinni  (Talk)  03:43, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Byakuya's Techniques
True, this is part of the great trick of translation: multiple interpretations. For example, Japanese 石 could be translated as "rock" or as "stone," either equally valid. I'd personally prefer "stone," as it sounds more elegant but, if it came down to an argument with someone who *really* loved "rock," I would be unable to stand on anything other than my *own* esthetic opinion, even as would they. Similarly in this case. Despite the usual translation of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi as "vibrant display of the thousand cherry blossoms," I felt it fine to use the more poetic element -scape in my renderings (as some others have, also) because its attacks so-named seemed to fall more into the sense of "-scape, field (of vision)" (as in words like seascape, dreamscape, mindscape etc.) than ordinary view conjured in my mind. You do get a "view" of the great fields of swords it creates, but I do prefer "scape," as though you'd stepped into a great arena of Byakuya's wrath. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to using "view, vista, scene," especially in other cases; I just went with what seemed most apt to me here (in another position, e.g. first element of a compound, scape- would be out-of-place-looking). In preparing this post by examining these data, though, I've uncovered something bizarre: Kageyoshi (景厳) is actually made up of the same element used for (in my rendering) "-scape" + a word for "rigid, harsh," which can also be read "dread, awe-inspiring" (even as English awful was < "full of awe"). Here, the first is given the rarer reading kage, apparently by association with kage "shadow, projection (as on a film screen)." I can't find any current reading yoshi for the second element, but I guess we can assume then that it does mean something like "dread, awesome." Sic, I would render Kageyoshi as "visaged-/spectral dread" (i.e. the dread/awful majesty cast like a shadow), but perhaps this is not the place for such changes. Oh, and forgive the clunkiness and uniformity of this post; something's even more wrong with the damn new text editor, and it's screwing up some of what I'm trying to write while not even LETTING me write some other things. Once the bugs are worked out, it WILL be a far superior editor but until then... the glitches REALLY suck. Screw it; it turned half my post boldface for no reason >:( . Adam Restling 04:28, January 27, 2010 (UTC)'''

It's not so much that the language doesn't translate well, but that translation from any language into any other is going to be slightly imperfect--especially because of the special and often multiple nuances of usages from one to the other. For example, someone trying to translate all the English uses of "ice" into Japanese might be thwarted in trying to capture all its usages (like slang) in only *their* version of the word, such as "prison, custody, inactivity" ("put on ice") or diamonds, gemstones ("blue ice")--although the latter is not so difficult a slang leap, at least. I still contend that while translations may leave things out, at least accompanying, explanatory glosses can--and should be available to--pick up the slack and make up for it. But yeah, once we go beyond the more simple one-to-one things, like "bird" = "tori" ("bird"), which have less danger of ambiguity, it's tricky; and whereas, as in the above example, "kei" could easily translate to any of a number of English words, depending on context, all these meanings are united in the single, easy Japanese form--but that's not to say the Japanese might not need glosses, too, to determine which many be the most accurate in each case ;) .
