New Voting System
As you can see, we have a new voting system in place now. It is pretty simple and already explained on the page and in our Voting Policy, but the main points are that you may cast one vote in support of and one vote in opposition to any candidate, but no more than that. Also, you do not have to use the "Oppose" vote if you do not wish to (but if you do, please cast a "Support" vote as well, to show your alternative suggestion). Please give reasons for your choice and remember to sign your comments using 4 tildes ( ~ ). Thank you. --Yyp 23:40, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Sigh. Due to problems with the way many users voted in our three features last month, we have changed the system. Full details are set out in the Voting Policy, but are summarized below. Familiarize yourself with the policy before voting. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:48, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * The "Oppose" votes will no longer be deducted from a candidate's total votes. It exists purely to highlight issues with a candidate.
 * Valid reasons must be given for voting for/against a candidate, otherwise the vote will be moved to the "Deleted Votes" section. A full list of valid reasons are given in the Voting Policy. Basically, the votes are not popularity contests - reasons must be based on the merits of the article/picture/quote.

Chapter 387
May I suggest that pictures from chapter 387 be kept around for vote in January? I say this because 387 was suppose to be out in January but it broke release date horribly to be out in December but that does mean no new Bleach manga is expected for the first two weeks of January. So I think there is merit in keeping the pictures from chapter 387 around. What does everybody else think? Tinni  (Talk)  02:34, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was thinking about this too (though not about the reduced number of episodes/chapters we will have in January, which will limit the amount of pictures and quotes available to use - excellent point). The chapter is not technically out in Japan yet, we just got lucky with someone getting an early copy. I'd be in favour of keeping them around for its intended release in January. -- Yyp  (Talk)  11:30, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Did we make a final decision on this? Are we keeping the pictures from 387? Tinni   (Talk)  00:56, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, both myself & Salubri are fine with them staying. I've moved the rest to archive and, since its a new vote, scrapped the votes that had been cast for them. I'll unlock it for the new vote now. -- Yyp  (Talk)  01:12, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Aizen getting crushed picture
I think it's a pretty good picture. Will it be nominated again next month? It's kinda unfair to add stuff to the votes so close to the deadline. Weedefinition  (Talk)  17:27, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

I believe the admins are currently discussion the possibility of a permanent change being made to the voting to allow for the pictures and quotes from the last chapter of the month to be carried forth into the next month. Tinni  (Talk)  10:23, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

It just occurred to me that with Kubo taking a person break, we are really, really, really going to be pressed for pictures and quotes. We are getting no chapter next week and even assuming that either Manga stream or Sleepyfans releases on a thursday for me/wednesday for the US, given that February ends on the 28th, we'll only have 3-4 days of voting before the features must be decided. Given the slim pickings, I really think we should be allowed to include pictures from chapter 390. Of course we already have a quote from chapter 390. So if no one has any objections, I would like to put up for vote, some of the pictures from 390. Tinni  (Talk)  17:52, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

Captains & Vizards United Pic
Can someone tell me how I can find the picture of the vizards and captains coming together to protect Ichigo from Aizen's Shikai? That would be a really good picture to nominate, but I just can't find it!--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 22:36, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The rules of this vote state that images must be from chapters this month. The image you are describing was nominated last month, but did not win. You can see it in the archive linked at the bottom of the vote page. -- Yyp (Talk) 22:39, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Really? So it can't be nominated again? Dang.--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 22:43, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well then, can someone get a pic of Shinji using his shikai on Aizen in the latest chapter?--Kagi mizu -Seeya  'round ~ 22:55, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Other pictures
So only pictures of characters can be added, or can other stuff (like settings) be added? Benihime101 23:22, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * As you can see from the Kamishini no Yari: Moment of Release picture being on the current list, it does not have to be characters. -- Yyp (Talk) 09:32, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
