Profile Picture Changes
As per the Image Policy, nominate and discuss changes to the profile pictures of the character articles here and only here. The typical requirements for a profile picture are that it shows the character facing forward, in their typical attire and should not be battle-worn. They should be centered, have good lighting, and be of good quality. Candidates also must have valid and complete and  templates attached to them or else they will be rejected.

Kenpachi Zaraki
You know I didn't want to start a discussion on this without a proposal, but seeing how I heavily defended the pic in the past, I'm going to sing a different tune. As much as I like Kenpachi's current pic, and as much as it perfectly suits him (I can probably go on and on about this, lol), he's technically battle-worn. We all know that he does not have a blood gash on his chest all the time, so this pic should be replaced. I think there are some proposed images on his Talk Page, but if there's a good replacement pic out there, we should post it ASAP. Aside from the shots already on his Talk Page, if there's anyone who has any suggestions, I'd like to see them. Arrancar109 (Talk)  00:52, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, here are all of the old discussions. Arrancar109 (Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's time for a new Kenpachi picture. The one on the front page is from the SS arc.--Shinitenshi 05:39, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I'll ask Arrancar109 if he can get a newer & better one. Minato88 07:37, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * So is he going to get a newer picture anytime soon? --&lt;3 Noel 00:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sorry that I was a bit "impulsive" but I have placed a newer image of Kenpachi. If someone else has a "better" one, please feel free to replace it. Mr. N 19:39, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * You know, I'm going to throw my 2 cents in: I don't see a need to change the image, as I think it's been a perfect fit since day 1. However, since we've been doing this with other characters, I don't see why we should keep Kenpachi out either. I did revert that image that was put up, but only because I think we can still find better. So, in other words, I did take it down, yes, but I don't think we should give up searching for a new profile image for him. I'll keep my eyes open for a new image as well. Arrancar109 22:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * There is very good reason to change his pic. The art style has changed drastically since SS so there is little reason to keep a picture from SS. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with a new picture of him, but I think the original one is still fine and suitable for his style and personality. I dislike the new one that's oddly squished and has the distracting spiritual energy around it. Twocents 01:55, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's because of the freaking glitch and lack of judgment that I am SEVERELY against "updating" existing images. And I am seriously aggrevated that I can't fix this without having to duplicate the current image. I'll give it a few hours. If no change, I'm uploading a duplicate image of his old profile pic and leaving it there. Arrancar109 02:03, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Totally. I think that if people want to update images, they need to upload them under different file names and get community input. I tried uploading the original picture again, but it doesn't seem to have worked. ;-; Twocents 02:16, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * What about these two, they're the only good ones with his eye patch on in Hueco Mundo which has better lighting than the new arc:-- SalmanH  (Talk)  10:02, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like episode 201 and picture number 2, but I still find the current profile picture to be preferable. Twocents 23:46, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * The picture from episode resembles him a lot,I think.That's the one that should be added. Mojito96 22:36, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't decide between the two here, but it's obvious that the picture should be changed, the current one is to low quality and it's a very old picture from like, what is it 200 episodes ago? --07:58, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll have to agree. Though, if I had to choose, I'd pick Door #1, considering it has a full-on shot of his face. Maggosh 04:28, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heh. I know that this topic is rather old and that it is highly unlikely for the profile image changing anytime soon (seeing as the current profile image from the Soul Society Arc seems to be a perfect fit) but I'll just put this other candidate from Episode 196 if anyone feels like continuing the discussion. ^_^ - Mr. N 18:42, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's good but I was hoping for something more recent. Here's one from Episode 249. Forget the subtitle, if it is selected, I'll track down a non-subtitled version of the picture. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know. The episode 249 pic doesn't quite show his usual maniac self. He looks like a nice guy. I'll have a go at some pics myself. BlazeUchiha (Talk)  12:06, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * ^^Scratch that. Didn't see the pic on the article. It's perfect. Don't change it. Seriously. BlazeUchiha (Talk)  12:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

As I said, ignore my previous objections to replacing the pic, as it actually should be replaced, since he's technically battle-damaged in it. Arrancar109 (Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I don't usually support changing a profile pic for the sake of changing it, but Kenpachi's has bothered me for quite a while. Not only is it quite old (Soul Society arc, ouch), but as Arrancar109 said, he is battle-damaged in the picture, which has always been something that we have used to filter out potential pics for other characters. In addition, the focus isn't really on his head, and this might just be me, but the quality looks a little dull, but then again, this was back when Bleach wasn't in high def. This might be one of those cases where we need to use a pic from a filler arc - I don't think any of the options on the talk page were like that. Mohrpheus (talk) 01:06, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I really like the current pic as it truly captures Zaraki, if it has to be replaced, I vote for 201 but I don't know if it is admissable seeing as there is a slash on his shoulder. Though, isn't he normally battle damaged? The two canon times he has really fought were against Ichigo in SS where he get cut up nicely. Second time was vs. Nnoitra where he got cut up nicely--God (Pray)  01:13, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I love the current picture, it's sooo Kenpachi. But if you say he's battle damaged, then so be it. I never thought a slash on his chest would be considered battle damage, I thought that applied only to damage on the face, but OK. I'd vote for 196 even if it's a bit old, there's no battle damage that I can see, it's facing forward, he has his default expression and it has a great drawing, and no odd poses or anything like that. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:35, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

IMO none of these are very good replacements for the current pic.

196 is cropped weirdly and doesn't show much detail of Kenpachis hairstyle.

201 has very awkward body positioning and has heavy shadows on his face.

201 no. 2 is too zoomed out and makes his head look smaller than it is, and 249 has got subtitles which would look atrocious on a profile pic.

I would stick with the current one, or find better options from other episodes. TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 20:40, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Keigo
Ok, can we possibly get a new profile pic for Keigo.

The current one isn't facing forward, has quite an odd expression and is rather close up for a profile pic.

Again I'm not yet experienced in getting any good pics that comply with all the policies (Hopefully I can get some help to learn how to get good pics so I can start to contribute some myself) but until then their of plenty users out there that are far more talented that me at getting good pics.

I know he isn't a main character, but I feel we should treat all the characters equally in terms of making their pages as good as possible. TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 15:30, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, this one needs replacing. I'll add it to my list of things to watch out for. 20:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

New Image
Just a shot that could be put next to the latest chapter's info, it's Ichigo and Urahara nearby as Aizen is sealed. Prophet of Sanghelios (talk) 04:22, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Seeing as Ichigo is barely in the picture, I would say do not add it.--God (Pray)  04:30, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, Ichigo is barely more than a blotch of ink in the picture, I would not add it into his article. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  04:59, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Then would the second image work? It's a clear shot of Ichigo looking away from Aizen as the latter is sealed. Prophet of Sanghelios (talk) 05:10, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yachiru
i think Yachiru's profile picture needs to be changed because you can see kenpachi's shoulder and shes not looking at the camera. So could people suggest some pictured we could replace it with?Karan8 (talk) 01:49, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I think a change would be nice for Yachiru's profile. Tinni  (Talk)  14:09, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. I think it might be one of the oldest profile pics of an active character still in use. I'm for it. The proposed image is nice too though I'd like to have more to choose from. WD  Talk to me  21:36, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

I would like have more to choose from!! I think the current picture is a bit dated soncidering we are always putting up newer pics for profile images!! Though I prefer the proposed picture to the current one!! SunXia (talk) 17:48, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just putting a possible choice from Episode 201 here. TheDevilHand888 (talk) 02:42, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Of these options, 201 is the best, but maybe a slightly cropped version of it could be used, as it is a bit zoomed out. 11:13, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well I uploaded a cropped version of 201. Unfortunately the only other close-up shots from 201 has her look a tad serious and after tht she get's an orange glow from Orihime's Shun Shun Rekka. There are lots of shots of her from the Zanpakuto Arc but most of them have that night filter and I did find a daylight shot of her but I don't think its anything to write home about. Still here it is. Tinni  (Talk)  11:39, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

201 zoomed looks pretty good, but I suppose it may be a little blurry once it is stretched to the standard profile pic size. Can't really be helped though. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  11:45, October 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * The standard profile size is 290px. The zoomed image has a size of 357px. So no stretching necessary. Still, you raise a good point. I have adjusted the gallery to show all images in the standard profile size to give us a better idea of how the images will look in profile. Tinni   (Talk)  12:20, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Huh, never mind then, it looks just fine like that. I throw in my full support for the cropped 201. Just me being nitpicky as usual; either that, or my glasses were crooked again. Mohrpheus  (Talk)  12:26, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

I say 201 not cropped. The cropped one is blurry and you know users are going to complain about it endlessly. 201 not cropped is a good shot and I don't think it is too zoomed out.--God (Pray)  16:14, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well I am pro 201 cropped. Tinni  (Talk)  02:17, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Apparently the new look changes something with images because I switched back to monaco for a little and the cropped one is not so bad now. I still say not cropped though since in the new look it will be blurry--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  02:42, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

I must be a bit crazy, but out of the current options, I actually prefer 246, it is pretty cute even if it has an odd expression. If it comes down to 201 Cropped vs not Cropped, I prefer not cropped. Cropped version is too zoomed in and a bit blurred and she looks a bit too crushed between the walls of the picture. But 201's drawing is a bit odd. It kinda lacks the cuteness that any Yachiru pic should have, at least for me. That's why I prefer the 246 option. But second to that I vote for the Not Cropped version. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:45, October 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * No Lia, you are not crazy. 246 is growing on me too! Her head fills the image and she looks very cute. Which is the essence of Yahiru. So... Tinni   (Talk)  03:23, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

246 gets my vote. I just looked at it and started smiling for no reason. WD  Talk to me  21:34, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ep201 (uncropped) for me, followed by 246. 18:51, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cataloguing
Place any images that are to be catalogued in the Image Galleries here.

Omake Image Gallery
I would like for an Omake Image Gallery setup to go with Omake Segments article. We have a number of images from omakes that have been uploaded for feature picture and/or personal use and I think an Omake Gallery could useful. Tinni  (Talk)  23:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Volume Sketch Gallery
I think it's a good idea to have a designated gallery for all the volume sketches. I realize there are few (if any) in actual use, but I believe as the Bleach Wiki we should have all these images in stock. WD  Talk to me  20:33, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fraccion Image Gallery
I was wondering if there were any plans for an image gallery for the various Fraccion.

I think it would be a good idea as I've seen lots of spare images hanging around the wiki and some are pretty cool.

Also would it be a big image gallery, with all the Fraccion sharing one? Or would they each get individual galleries.

If any admins would like to discuss this, I would be happy to respond quickly. :)TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:32, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Each individual Fracción member would have their own image galleries. I don't see what good it'll do to group them all together. It'll be like grouping Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Aramaki's pages together, just because they all serve under Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi. I think the only individuals who will have their pages grouped together are Shinigami and their respective Zanpakuto Spirits with them, generic Hollows, generic Toju, and generic Arrancar. I think that would be it. Every other character would have their own image gallery. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  22:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. :) TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Zanpakuto Image Gallery
I think that a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be useful. It would have their Sword/Sealed forms, Shikai, Bankai (if any), their Spirit forms, and the video clip of their special abilities, all with seperate galleries, but in the same category.

It could shown them with their masters, or seperately, but a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be really useful.

All zanpakutō are in their respective shinigami's pages. Such as Byakuya's page has pics of his sowrd sealed, shikia, bankai and different bankai forms along with gifs of his abilities and Senbonzakura's spirit.--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  19:14, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think there is merit in this request. We could have an image gallery that is the sub-article of the Zanpakutō article. I think it would be nice to be able to see all the different zanpakutos in the one gallery. Tinni  (Talk)  19:38, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Soifon ---> Suì-Fēng
If we can unlock her image gallery I was going to go ahead and change all instances of Soifon to Suì-Fēng. If not it is no big deal, just a request. Ltjuno (talk) 22:51, October 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I fixed it myself as there are a few things that need to be fixed on the galleries and I'm going through them now anyway. 11:17, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

OK Yvp good stuff thanks. Ltjuno (talk) 18:12, October 8, 2010 (UTC)
