Bleach Wiki:Featured Article

'''Please, do not vote for a character ONLY because he/she is recently featured or you like him/her. Instead, vote for an article that is of good quality (i.e. it is informative, referenced properly, up to date, etc).''' (Note : Please, wait for four months before re-adding an already featured article to the list, thanks). Feel free to add characters we forgot to add, but consider that they MUST have been recently featured in the anime or manga.

The deadline is May 31, 2010. Any unsigned vote will be REMOVED before vote counting.

Votes
How to vote:


 * Vote by typing either of the following in the relevant sections:

Only one "Support" vote per user.

The "Oppose" option is to be used only to highlight issues with a candidate.

See the Voting Policy for more rules and guidelines on voting.


 * Apparently How to vote isn't clear. Everyone is asked to check the Voting Policy before engaging in votes. It is obvious some will engage in voting only to vote for the favorite character. That is not a Valid vote. Voting on what information is in the featured articles (i.e. voting because a character has revealed their Bankai or backstory), is not a Valid reason. Votes should be based on the quality of the article (i.e. nicely organized, in-depth information, properly referenced, free of speculation, decent grammar). Voting for an article obviously flawed and claiming it is better than one that doesn't suffer the same issue is not a valid vote, that is voting for more preferred character again.

Ulquiorra Cifer

 * 1) Ulquiorra had this whole month dedicated to him in the anime! And with all the new pics from the anime, and how his article was fixed (I personally worked a lot in the picture department), his new beautiful profile pic, and all in all he has a pretty, well-written, complete and nice article. The plot section is complete, both the Trivia and Quote sections are clean of junk, the abilities section is complete too... I think he deserves this month. -- Lia Schiffer   (Talk)  23:17, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Ironically, Ulquiorra's death in the manga was around the same time I joined this site; the article was riddled with mistakes that I took upon myself to correct. But that was months ago - since then, people have done wonders to his article, fixing its grammar and spelling errors, as well as adding plenty of references. In addition, his article has a sense of completion to it - with his role in the anime and manga over, his article is fully archived with all of his information and it has recently been upgraded with high-quality anime pictures, making it pleasant to look at. This article is the ideal choice for this month. Mohrpheus 03:42, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Ulquiorra's article was already done well before the anime hit that part of the story. Now that it has, Ulquiorra's article only got better. It is completely referenced and there are minimal errors on it. -- DragonBlade302 08:12, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I agree with everything posted above: the newly-added pictures from the anime make the article look nice, there seem to be minimal grammar mistakes, the article is nicely referenced, and since Ulquiorra is dead the information in his article is as complete as it can ever get. Hence, I truly believe that Ulquiorra's article is superior to the other candidates. Seiyounashi  (Talk)  22:23, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5)  While Urahara has been featured in the manga recently, I'm putting my vote towards Ulquiorra as he has been just as heavily featured in the anime. Also, with him being dead now this is the last chance his article has a chance to be featured, and with all the work put towards it with updating the images and information I feel it needs to be recognised.

 * 1) I am not disputing that Ulquoirra has a fairly good article, however, I do think Urahara now has the better article. So that's one point of opposition from me but I have another that might not seem very important to other people but it is to me because I am the one who has to deal with the shenanigans. I feel that I must point out that due to the segement of Ulquiorra fans who insist that Ulquiorra is still alive, his articles is too high risk to feature. I mean, he's already on the "High risk article" list for the Bleach Wiki:Policy & Standards Committee but I was thinking of taking him off since his article hadn't been a problem lately but then once again, despite the fact that he just turned into ash in beautifully rendered animation and full colour, someone decided to bring-up an issue about how they read somewhere that Kubo did not confirm Ulquiorra's death (BTW, nothing like that happened). Frankly, its tiresome and bothersome and I say we leave Ulquiorra's article in the shadows until his fans get over it. Nor else, Ulquiorra's article just becomes a focal point of edits wars as those tiresome people who put stupid things like "I support the return of Ulquiorra" on their forum signatures, come here and try to rewrite manga facts to support their denialism.  Tinni   (Talk)  10:17, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm in agreement with Tinni in this case!! While Ulquiorra has a great article, I do think the Urahara article is better and more insightful especially all the attention that has poored into it recently, it's a pretty amazing article, and one of the best on this sight!! And yeah, Ulquiorra is high risk at the moment after his death in the anime!! SunXia 12:44, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I have to agree with Tinni and Sunxia on this. His article is just too high risk to have featured. Just today I had to undo an edit by a user who put ulquiorras status as unconfirmed. Also, in response to morpheus's oppose vote on Urahara, Ulquiorra has not gotten a full grammar workup from the grammar corner. Urahara has. I would normally do the workup myself but I just dont have the time right now. So unless someone else takes it upon themselves, Urahara's article has the better grammar.--God  (Pray)  22:31, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Kisuke Urahara

 * 1)  I cast my vote in support of Urahara. Having been heavily featured recently, we have added a decent amount of information to the so called most mysterious character in bleach's article. It is well referenced and recently the one troubled section was fixed up. Urahara was also the first article to receive one of my full grammar workups and I plan on rechecking the whole page the moment I get some time off work--God  (Pray)  07:09, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I'm voting for Urahara as well due to the vast improvements that have been going on with his page especially even in the last week alone!! I see nothing wrong in the Grammar and the increase in pictures make it more colourful and a joy to read!!! SunXia 06:57, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  A lot of people, including myself, have worked very hard to get Urahara's article upto scratch. His plot section has been expanded, referenced with very nice pictures added to break-up the text. We also got some power revelations from him, which has allowed us to put his already revealed powers into context. So right now, he does in fact have the better article then all the other candidates.  Tinni   (Talk)  10:17, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ulquiorra Cifer

 * 1) Ulquiorra has been through almost his entire Arc now in the anime and as such has now had a good overhaul and colour screenshots added to his story and powers and abilities etc. Since this is now almost a complete article with good references and anime pictures i think it's definitley worth being article of the month.Wolfwood  (Talk)

 * 1) I recommend this article to be featured because it is almost complete with the anime pictures and also, the battle that we have been seeing in the anime is simply spectacular and the manga has been a little boring i think is the best option because many bleach fans have been waiting for this battle too --Rukialover 15:02, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I think Ulquiorra is an excellent choice for featured article. His article ha improved greatly from the first time I saw it. There were minor details left out at first but slowly everything has been added that was necessary and thank goodness they changed his profile pic. The last one was . . . weak I guess. I just think the article is better organized and much more accurate than before. Mimi-soutaicho125 22:53, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I think that the featured article of June Should be Ulquiorra Schiffer becuase he is totally awesome. I love his new anime pics, and think that his techniques are really cool, and look great in his article. Also, I think that it should be Ulquiorra becuase we don't really know much about him, so more people could read the article, and maybe learn a little bit more.

 * 1) PLEASE NO. He's getting really old and boring and is DEAD. No longer has been in recent manga to count. ToraShihouin 21:20, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Kisuke Urahara

 * 1)  My vote also goes to Urahara for a number of reasons. One, Ulquiorra has already been featured as the featured article once and it seems a waste to do so again, especially now that Urahara is fairly in the spotlight in the manga. Kisuke is right now fighting an enemy of over one hundred years - this is the meeting we have been waiting for. Also, as mentioned before, the article has has a real good clean up. I noticed the new pictures of his new abilities and everything. It should be Kisuke. Tommo2304 11:48, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) While this month has indeed provided large amounts of information to Kisuke's page, I do not feel that this necessarily makes it superior to Ulquiorra's article. With Ulquiorra's article being essentially complete, it still possesses better content, all backed by the proper references. With Ulquiorra dead, there has been little new content to add to it for several months, allowing more focus to be put on fixing its grammar and spelling errors, as well as organization; Kisuke's article does not have this advantage. On to speculation issues: Ulquiorra fans have been ranting on about his possible resurrection since he died, which was over a year ago, if my memory serves me correctly. Yet, none of this fan speculation has done any permanent damage to the article - any such edits were fixed with one click of a button. Hardly an issue. On the flip side of the coin, Kisuke's article is just as vulnerable to speculation, regarding his eerie comments about the Hougyoku, for example. It is just a matter of perspective. All in all, both articles are on a very high par, but as I stated, Ulquiorra just benefits too much from being dead, making it the better candidate, by however little.
