Bleach Wiki:Featured Article/Jul 10

'''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 June 29, 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.

Sōsuke Aizen

 * 1)  I feel that Aizen's article has benefit the most from this month's chapters. With the revelation of his new transformation, his powers and abilities section has grown considerably, with all of the proper references, as well appropriate images to boot. More insight has been given regarding his personality, which has changed considerably since he transformed. Overall, the new info blends well with the article, which was already good enough to be featured before. Mohrpheus 18:57, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki

 * 1)  The admins spent four months making Ichigo's article conform to standards and fill it with details. Least I can do is vote for it!  Tinni   (Talk)  11:26, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I have several reasons for voting for Ichigo's article. Firstly, a lot of work has been done to it, it's finally out of the lock! Admins put a lot of effort in the past months to improve all that was wrong with the article, and finally make it good enough to be featured. Text, references, powers (the first, second, third mask thing that was fixed), etc. Secondly, I think Ichigo did a huge thing this month in the manga, he finally realized that it's all on him and found it in him to get back all the guts and determination to save everyone, which had been lacking the past months. Finally, out of the other options, I'm afraid both Aizen and Isshin have the same problem, we're hanging in the air of not really knowing what's up with them, making both their articles target of a lot of speculation and vandalism. -- Lia Schiffer   (Talk)  06:22, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3)  I'm putting my vote towards Ichigo, the admins worked hard on it for months and their efforts really show. Prophet of Sanghelios 09:18, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1)  Both of these articles  are as complete as can be so I'm basically wanting to recognise the swiftness and the how much Isshin's evolved in such a small space of time!! Isshin has seen the greatest amount of improvement considering it was basically a stub before!! And I just think that should be recognised this month!! SunXia 18:25, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Isshin Kurosaki

 * 1)  I vote for Isshin because ever since he showed up in FKT, we have collected a steady stream of information about him and done so in an organized manner. Yes, we don't know his shikai but for all we do know about him, his article is very good.--God  (Pray)  15:19, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  I'm voting for this man too, his article has become amazing in last several months after what could have described as little more than a stub previous to the FKT Arc!! Awesome work there guys SunXia 17:52, June 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1)  - i am a huge fan of Isshin and it kills me to put down a reason not to include but: the recent chapters have left a lot of information up in the air and the article is a little messy. things like the fact we have seen a Getsuga Tenshou and don't really know where it belongs. the issues regarding whether he released Shikai or not. the article needs more information as there is currently some borderline speculation on there. Next month though :)Wolfwood  (Shoot)  20:13, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Any vote that is deemed invalid is moved here. Reasons why a vote may not be considered valid are set out in the Voting Policy.

Ichigo Kurosaki

 * 1)  There are two reasons for my vote. One, as stated above, the admins spent a hell of a long time fixing his article. And two, I think we've seen a lot of change in him both mentally and physically this month. He's become more serious and is now facing his biggest battle yet.

Isshin Kurosaki

 * 1) I vote for Isshin Kurosaki because he was shown to use Getsuga Tenshou, which before only Ichigo can use and is the only time two different Zanpakuto used the same move. He also never released, making his powers more mysterious. Also, when I checked last it only had information after he killed the Grand Fisher. Now the information in the page has increased extremely quickly in a couple weeks. XDrakkonX 05:41, June 25, 2010 (UTC)XDrakkonX

 * 1)  i agree with what everyone else is saying. Isshin's article has made tremendous improvement and he has shown more of his character as well as himself within the plot of BLEACH. He has come a long way from where we saw him begin. Mimi-soutaicho125 02:03, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  I supported Isshin when he was up against Gin, and I think this past two months have proved me right: Isshin has played a much more serious role in the plot since (I'm not counting Arrancar Encyclopedia, but if I would I would also count Quincy Encyclopedia, which features Isshin regularly). As for the article, I believe most of the reasons to not feature Isshin two months ago have been removed. His article is now (dare I say it?) as close to being complete as an active character's article can be.  WD   Talk to me  14:01, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  Isshin has been the most dynamic character in the last couple of chapters. Ever since his introduction into the fight, there's been something about him, like the air he usually assumes has changed. Add to this he somehow managed to snap Ichigo out of his Ichigo-itis. Okay, character contributions aside, Isshin's article has been virtually swamped by people adding new bits of info, whether relevant or not, to it. A lot of work has been done to keep the article relatively clean and free of rubbish. For a character with a side we haven't seen before, the article has been well organized to bring in new info on his Shinigami side. My reasons in a nutshell: Me like Isshin :).

 * 1)  I am opposing Ichigo on the basis of there being a better article(which I learned you could do from Tinni last month). Ichigo has a good article but it is not great. The admins did a good job fixing it up but it still needs some work, not to mention that it is the highest risk article for speculation and vandalism. Also, while I fixed the grammar on the lower half of the article, I am not sure if GinIchimaru ever got around to doing the top half. Also, let us not forget that the admins fixed up Isshin's article as well. In short, Ichigo has a good article but Isshin has a great article.--God  (Pray)  02:23, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Baraggan Luisenbarn

 * 1) - Barragan has featured heavily in the Anime recently and as such the article is looking a lot more complete with colour pictures, finalised information and an overhaul of references.Wolfwood  (Shoot)  20:10, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  - I'm going to have to vote for Baraggan as well. The two most recent anime episodes have been centered primarily around him, thus allowing his already well-written article to see some great updates done to it, especially picture-wise. MGoblin256 11:12, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
