Bleach Wiki:Volume Summary Project

This is a Policy & Standards Committee project that aims to provide the summaries for Manga chapters currently lacking such summaries. This is the successor of the Volume a week club and works on the same principles.

How to Participate
If you want to participate in this project just claim a chapter from either the main volume or the alternative volume below by putting your name next to the chapter and list the status as incomplete. When you have finished adding the summary for the chapter, just change the status to complete. Once all the chapters are done, we can move on to the next volume. The goal would be to get one volume done per week. But of course if it is done sooner then we'll move on to the next volume sooner. Of course, if you are done with your chapter and want to do another one (that hasn't been claimed yet) then you can do so. But remember! This is suppose to be fun and not stressful! So if you claim a chapter but find that the week has become busy, just unclaim it and don't worry about it.

Also, you do not have to be a committee member to participate. However, please be aware the committee members will be reading over all summaries, including those by other committee members, for quality assurance purposes. This is all for the sake of making the summaries the best they can be for the benefit of all wiki users.

Suggested Article Guidelines
These are some friendly suggestions to keep in mind when writing summaries and they are also things that might be helpful if you writing a chapter summary for the very first time. They are also designed to comply with wiki best practice.

This section is a work in progress. Please feel free to add your own suggestions, tips and tricks.

1. Please keep in mind that this is a wiki and so please do not speculate when writing the chapter summary. Just describe things as they unfold, and when in doubt, go for neutral tone and wording.

2. The chapter summary is not suppose to be a substitute for actually reading the chapter. As such, there is no need to give minute details of everything that's happening. Remember, it is a summary only.

3. Links - please consider providing one where you think that the reader of the summary might want more information on either a character or a term.

4. Adding Chapter covers - as we go through the volume, you will find that come chapters are missing the chapter cover. Chapter covers should be thumbnail of 190px and left aligned. If the chapter does not have a cover but does have a page where the chapter number is visible, that page can be used as a chapter cover. If in doubt about which page to use as a cover, for chapters that do not have a clearly identifiable chapter cover, then leave it be and flag the issue in the discussion for input.

Chapter Cover Licensing
In line with the new Image Policy, all chapter covers must have licensing information affixed to them. The following example is taken from chapter 386. Most covers currently do not have the license affixed.

== Summary ==

Volumes with all covers with licences
Volumes 1 → 12, 17, 18, 21, 22, 35 → 42

Cross-linking to Episodes
Per the discussion on the talk page, it would be beneficial if the is link from the manga to the anime episode that contains elements of the story. Important point to remember, some chapters have been animated multiple times. The one that comes to mind is chapter 0.Side B which was first animated in a sequence of flashbacks in episode 109 and then again as part of episode 227 (this time the entire episode was a flashback episode).

Volumes with links
Volume 1 → 17, 36, 37.

Completed Issues Summary

 * Volume Layout - all volume pages should now have the same layout
 * Bleach All Star consistency - the Bleach All Star's template was changed and should now be more consistent and hopefully not overlapping with the info box for the majority of browsers and users
 * Chapter Cover Images - all volume pages now have title cover pictures for each chapter
 * Characters in Order of Appearance - all volume pages now have the characters listed in order of appearance

Access to Online Chapters
Mostly for the "anime only" fans who might want to help us out but not know where to read the chapters to summarise. Here are the links to places you can read Bleach online.

User Comments
Ok, thanks to help from DeliManjoo, volume 11 is finally finished! Yay! Now on to volume 12 and resuming the alternative volume with volume 35! Tinni  (Talk)  06:14, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, every chapter now has its "Characters in Order of Appearance" section filled out, so I'm marking it off the list of issues. -- Yyp (Talk) 16:15, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
