Hey
OMG your back im surprised entirely you were gone forever. Well welcome back if you need to be caught up on anything let me know.Salubri (Talk)  23:35, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, good to have you back. Here's a quick run down of what's happened while you've been away (well, what I can think of atm anyway):
 * The volume summary project is steaming quickly moving towards completion thanks to some new helpers (and of course Tinni's continued dedication).
 * The fight project is under way, mainly with Salubri & Nwang2011 working on it.
 * The anime project is still moving on with SerialSniper14, TomServo101 and Weedefinition
 * The Bleach Wiki:Layout Guide has been updated to include layouts for episodes, fights, etc.
 * For character articles, we now use Plot instead of Synopsis. (episode/chapter summaries use Summary).
 * For the featured votes, the Voting Policy has been updated: due to suspicious voting and a feeling that it was unfair on those that actually did any work on the wiki, we only count the votes of those who have been on for more than a month and have been active in the month of the vote.
 * We now have the Bleach Wiki:Anime Policy - key thing is manga takes precedence over anime when there is a conflict.
 * Don't know if you were around when the current status section was added to the infoboxes of the characters (or indeed if you knew about the new infoboxes - see the captain, lieutenant and Espada character articles). What is to be put in them is defined in the Manual of Style.

I'm sure there's more stuff, but I can't think of anything else right now, so I'll just say welcome back. -- Yyp (Talk) 23:40, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, welcome back. Yyp has given a great summary of everything that has been happening. The big progress really has been that the Volume Summary project is nearing completion. I am focused on getting the last four volume (including the current one) out the door. I have started thinking about what to focus on once that project finishes but I'll discuss that once I am able to report to the committee that Volume summary project is in "maintenance" phase. By that I mean that all the summaries are written but the project would continue to make sure new chapters have summaries written as well as address any concerns with the volume pages in general. Anyway, it's good to have you back. Tinni  (Talk)  10:15, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, welcome home. Anime Summary Project is running smooth, I just haven't had the time lately to work on the Bount arc (as you can tell by the projected finish date). I've started incorporating the fights into the Summary pages; the Shinigami arc is done. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything you need from me.

i see you finally got your computer fixed.Soul reaper magnum 20:19, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

You've nothing to worry about. All the projects have been slow (bar the sudden jump in pace of the Volume Project recently). You've got plenty done already. I thought of a couple of other things:
 * Twocents is still MIA. We changed her status to periodically inactive yesterday, as it's been three months now.
 * Whitestrike has returned (sort of), but is still periodically inactive.
 * Yamamoto's status is to be left as Incapacitated or unknown for now, as his last scenes were not clear enough to call him dead.
 * The following pages are currently locked: Ichigo Kurosaki, Zanpakutō, Espada, Shūsuke Amagai, Hollowfication, (all due to overhaul) and Yamamoto (to prevent edit war). The vote pages may be under partial protection to prevent new and non-autoconfirmed users from editing them (to do with recent changes to voting policy). All regular editors should be able to edit them, though there have been some people that saw the protect notice when editing and thought that they couldn't edit it.
 * Courtesy of the current anime-only story, we have several new pages: Tōjū, List of Tōjū, Narunosuke, Mai Suzuki and Kyōko Haida. We also have updated many profile pictures thanks to this part of the filler being in glorious daylight.
 * Another new page - Noble Houses. This was made due to a problem with the placing of the Shihōin Shield. Content was moved from Yoruichi Shihōin and the Soul Society pages to the new one and expanded.
 * Something to consider when you're caught up: I've been trying to make good use of the customize options for the WikiStickies. If you have any suggestions or come across anything that might be worth adding, let me know or post them here. There are already links to the projects, various things that need improving etc, but I've all but run out of ideas for it.

Hope that helps. -- Yyp (Talk) 20:37, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

maybe now the forums will get interesting again.Soul reaper magnum 01:46, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

Thanx!
Well, it sure is nice to know that my efforts are being noted.

As for my P&TU proposal, I think the only real value it has is in the attitude. There's no reason to write the entire scroll of the technique's different meanings in the list of techniques used in an episode: Instead we should use the translation template thusly: Also I think departments like 'Zanpakutō released', 'Kidō used' and the likes should be subsequent headlines, so they'd be accessible from the contents list and from internal links if necessary.

 * Cero (虚閃 (セロ), sero; Spanish for "Zero", Japanese for "Hollow Flash", 'Doom Blast' in the Viz translation, "Empty Disaster" if the kanji is literally translated)

We did it 1,000 articles the one that put us over was Ikkaku Madarame vs. Hozukimaru lol. Wow and it only took 3-4 years.Salubri (Talk)  23:29, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Procedure & Template
Hi, great ideas on all of them. Go right ahead with making the archive for the Translation Corner and the new page for the procedures. Call it Bleach Wiki: Committee Procedures. That way, we can use it for other procedures that might come about in the future. We should also put the nomination procedure on that page and just have a link to from the main committee page. Just hold off on the template for the Translation Corner for now. I'll make them one as soon as I think of a good picture and colour scheme for them. Thanks for getting right back to work after just coming back! Tinni  (Talk)  05:17, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: A few things
Hey.

It's OK. I'm not in any hurry to get more work that needs to be done (even though I do believe some of my suggestions will improve the project). I'm currently mixed up (wrong choice of words?) in the fight project and only take a break once a week to work on the new episode before someone else snags it :)

I appreciate the archive link, but I don't think I need it yet. As far as I've seen, what I have on my TP as what an admin gets in an average month, so who am I to complain? I'll use it sometime in the future, if there's a need. WD  Talk to me  14:25, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Yumichika
Haha, I was wondering how I ended up deleting the correct picture--Godisme (Talk)  00:42, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Yammy
Stuff like Yammy's rank being changed from "10th Espada" to "Arrancar #10" should have administrator approval before any goes around doing anything, just to let you know. Please keep this in mind in the future before doing anything like this again (this includes moving pages as well, as we've been having problems like this with other users lately). Also, in case you're wondering, I am in support of the move as well, since it's technically true that nobody in the manga addressed Yammy as the 10th Espada. Arrancar109 (Talk)  02:00, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Oops. I didn't type that correctly. I meant "I approve of changing 10th Espada to Arrancar #10". Anyway, I'll have to check the policies, but pagemoves usually require discussion and administrator approval beforehand. Our most notable problem was the movement of Muramasa to Muramasa (spirit). A user took the liberty of moving Muramasa's page without warning, and since certain pages (episode summaries, manga summaries (not in Muramasa's case, luckily), the Characters page, and individual character pages) would have to be changed accordingly, it would have had to be discussed first as whether the change would be appropriate or not. Muramasa's case was unusual, since his master wasn't revealed until the later stages of the Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc, and more people would be expecting Muramasa to go to his page and not Kōga Kuchiki's page.

Anyway, before I rant too much, Muramasa's move stayed, but the user was warned not to do it again (though, from what I saw, he might be ignoring the warning again; he is being watched closely, so don't worry about him). Hence why certain things require administrator approval before being done (though, again, both Salubri and I approved of Yammy's Arrancar #10 status being accurate over 10th Espada); don't just assume, especially since there's no way of telling when a user may suddenly take off from his/her computer, even if his/her last edit was 10 seconds ago. Also, if we have nothing mentioned in our policies regarding page moves, I might end up bringing it up at the Administrator's Talk Page. Arrancar109 (Talk)  02:45, April 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Change made. Yyp  (Talk) 19:26, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Templates
It's not just the Arrancar, but a large number of characters in general. Yes, Salubri did develop the newer templates, but we're leaving the editing on the newer templates to him and the other administrators. The old template is still in use for the minor characters because we haven't developed templates for them yet, and it's possible we may not have perfected the newer template yet. For example, in the newer templates, you've noticed that the "Spanish Voice Actor" slot is there, but there is nothing in it. Some fields in the template, like this one, will show up, regardless of whether there is something in it or not.

We've been using the old character template for minor characters, since the new ones aren't 100% perfected yet. Just to let you know beforehand, do not try to insert the template yourself. When we know it's been perfected, we'll start updating the rest of the characters accordingly. Arrancar109 (Talk)  20:19, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Salubri locked the templates anyway, so only us administrators can do anything about it. Arrancar109 (Talk)  20:29, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
