images
Hi! Sorry I din't get back to you sooner. In regard to your inquire about changing the profile images, as of right now we don't have a set standard of whether a profile picture should be a full body or just a close up, but I personally prefer the full body images. A close up does not really make justice of a character and you really can't see them for who they are with just that. In regards to the image of Rukia that is an exellent picture for her you can see the details in her instead of just a close look, most picture just show some part of the character so if the profile can show a full body than that gives the reader a better understanding of who he is. As I said before we don't have a set rule of how the profile character picture should look like so even if you change it another user may just come an revert it back, I ask that if you chage the profile picture of any character that you leave the full body image in the article preferably under the apparance header.

Re: Current Image
I didn't reply because I didn't know it was on the discussion page. But you have a point, it should have been thoroughly discussed first before anyone made a move (which means I'm at fault for this), so I can see your concerns.

My reasons for changing it is because it actually has a better view of his face than Sajin.jpg does, since Sajin.jpg has him turning around from facing away from the screen, and before someone changed it to his appearance in the current arc, I thought that was probably the best image for now. There are probably better images out there, yes, but that was the best one I could find for now. I'm guessing WhiteStrike originally changed the image to his appearance in the current arc, and unlike me, I'm guessing he was okay with this change. Still, I believe an image of him from the current arc would be better, but ONLY if a better face-shot of him can be found, since the first one that came on there was not very good, and the more recent one was somewhat better, but still not the best one that could be found IMO. What are your thoughts? Arrancar109 16:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Cool. I'll do the same and keep my eyes open. Arrancar109 16:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Alright, good to know thanks.SalmanH 18:00, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks alright. Not sure if should go up or not, but it looks alright. I would advise asking around if you want it up though. Arrancar109 15:12, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Rename and Re-upload Images
As for moving images you can do it the same as moving a page just click the move tab on top of the page, just don't becareful which image you move an to where.

For re-uploading images if the image is the exact same as the one from before than yes when the mesaage appears you can go HEd thru with it, however if is not the same image make sure to look to see if that image is being used in any article firstm ir cinider uplaodeing it with a diferent name. when you upload an image you can select the destination for it by changing the name of it reight there and then. Hope this answers any question you have. WhiteStrike 08:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if there is way you can try asking User Talk:Dantman he is a person that knows alot about wiki's and has help me before when there was something I didn't know how to do. Sorry I can't be more help but he will defeneatly have the right answer your looking for. WhiteStrike 08:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Forum
Sorry about that. Under the search box, go to "Community", then "Forum", then "Watercooler". I used the same heading (He's gonna die...) --Yyp 15:07, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome --Yyp 22:20, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Article of the Month
I can understand the concern here as, yes, the manga is indeed way past this point, but when I typed up the summary for the Article of the Month, I chose to end it at Starrk releasing his Resurreccion because that is when he is beginning to take the fight seriously and is starting to show the more serious nature of his character, which was not seen before then. Also, space on the main page is already constrained enough as it is, and we're about to do something else, something similar to the Article of the Month. I'm not sure when it'll be up, as WhiteStrike is working on it, but hopefully soon. Anyway, that's my explanation for why the summary ends the way it does. Sorry for the lateness of the reply, as things have gotten busy for me lately. Arrancar109 02:34, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

My point
Relax, you're not in trouble or anything; I just want to clear up my point, which is Ichigo also uses his Shinigami powers more than his Hollow powers, not that Kensei uses his Hollow powers more (as he, too, uses his Shinigami powers a lot). Arrancar109 07:09, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. I usually capitalize to emphasize my point in summaries, since, unlike articles, you can't change the text, so I understand that all caps looks like either a mistake, or that I'm doing the typing equivalent to yelling, so sorry about that.

Ch.377
Yup. Its not on onemanga, but it can be found right here:

Re: Vizard
Well, it was obvious he wasn't familiar with how we sort things, as well as naming issues. Seriously, on non-User page articles, it really, really annoys me when I see the "Last name, first" style on the articles (aside from quotes). It's funny though. To this day, I still don't know why it annoys me, but it does. There was also the whole "Rukia is Ichigo's partner" thing, which we did decide to remove altogether, so there was a lot wrong with what he was doing. Arrancar109 03:37, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism
Thanks so much for your kind words and your vigilance! ^_^ I know you're a real asset to this wiki, and I appreciate your hard work. Twocents 02:02, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Fake Karakura Town = Recent?
Thanks for the praise, but it was ******** idea and Twocents did the leg work on it. The featured picture and quote is limited to chapters and episodes released this month. --Yyp 11:39, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, Yyp beat me to it! But yup, it was actually ******** idea initially. Yyp and I have just been working on carrying it out. And to elaborate a bit, we're limiting pictures and quotes to chapters and episodes released in the month of voting. The reason for that is because it'd just be quite hectic if we allowed all pictures and quotes to be available, and it'd be confusing if we simply said "recent." Plus, this way, when we do get to add the picture and quote to the front page, it won't look like we're terribly behind things either. To allow for some more room, though, we are allowing pictures and quotes both from the new Japanese episodes released this month as well as newly dubbed English episodes. If there's anything else I can clarify, let me know! Twocents 20:12, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Your User Page
Hi. I have removed what you wrote about a certain user on your User Page, as it goes against what is set out on the User Page Policy - specifically that users should not blast other users on their User Page. If you were unaware of the policy, please familiarize yourself with it now. I know you don't like him - and you do not have to - but our policies clearly state that all users must be civil in the way they treat each other. This includes the Admins. I would also like to point out that you cannot exclude anyone from a debate. I know you may feel frustrated by his actions, but that is no excuse. --Yyp 23:38, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. The real world called. He already knows about what you had written. I don't think there is anything that I could say to change his mind. Sorry --Yyp 17:11, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

Main Page Talk
On the subject of your post on the main page talk page, I simply do not understand what you are asking. A chapter cover is simply a page from the the manga that has the title of the chapter on it. Sometimes they have the picture of a single character posing on this page. That is the picture we use for the feature articles. These pages have little to no writing on them other than the characters name. The text we use in the feature article is written by us, and is not based on or limited to chapters that were released before the chapter that the picture came from was published. I don't know if that answers you question or not. --Yyp 23:38, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

I haven't had much to do with the featured articles so far, but I do understand where you're coming from. Consistency is king, but Arrancar109 had his reasons (which I see are explained under the sixth heading on this page. If you want further clarification on it, I suggest you ask him. I don't think it is something that is likely to happen again though. Seems to have been due to the circumstances at the time. --Yyp 17:11, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
