Bleach Wiki:Policy & Standards Committee

The Bleach Wiki Policy & Standards Committee is a group of users responsible for reviewing and enforcing the wiki's policies. They also have the responsibility of maintaining the quality standards of articles by helping other users adhere to the policies of the wiki.

Currently we are looking for two new members. If you wish to become a councilor, or wish to nominate someone else, please apply farther down the page under membership nominations. Please also try to provide a supporting statement.

Further information on the Committee can be found on the Bleach Wiki:Committee Procedures.

Templates
Committee Members can display the Rollback Box and Committee Box on their page by using and the  commands. There can only be a maximum of nine Committee members total.

It is generally advisable that people other than committee members not post on this page, unless it is to ask questions about policy, point out mistakes, etc. having to do with the volumes, episodes, or user edits. The "Comments and Discussion" section below is where these issues should be posted.

Member Responsibilities

 * Regularly assist in the Wiki's Projects.
 * Quality check recent article edits.
 * Quality check articles in general.
 * Assist members with edits and other issues.
 * Rollback vandalism.

Member Powers

 * Members have the authority to close topics that are old/resolved.
 * Move user questions or articles that are not in the correct place.
 * Help resolve issues with the site that don't require an admin's intervention.
 * Monitor talk pages/Forums/Blogs.

Membership Qualifications

 * Be a weekly active user of the wiki
 * Have a good amount of edits on the wiki, but the edits should be of good quality and useful.
 * Good spelling and grammar is useful
 * Good communication skills
 * Must be well read on our policies and help enforce them
 * At least 3 months on the wiki

While anyone can be nominated to be considered for open positions, it is the admins who will discuss whether the person should be given the position. Also, in light of real life, no one is expected to be on all day everyday, but it helps. Being on and doing some significant work other than blogging helps the site even if it's every other day or a few days a week.

Removal of Committee Member
Conditions under which an involuntary removal/resignation would be considered:
 * Inactive for three months or more.
 * Repeated abuse of rollback privileges
 * Repeated violation of policies.
 * Non-performance/non-communication with the committee - this is different from being inactive. They might still be active in the wiki, but if they suddenly stopped talking to the committee and responding to messages or looking after projects to which they are assigned, then it's a problem

Membership Suggestion
If you wish to become a member of the committee then it is suggested that you complete at least some summaries of either the manga, anime or fight summaries and aid in the article improvement project. This would boost your edit count, a requirement for membership, and demonstrate that you are interested in contributing something substantial to the wiki.

Membership nominations
Please feel free to nominate either yourself or a fellow wiki user you believe should be given committee membership and rollback rights in this section. Please also try to provide a supporting statement.

Committee Projects
All Committee Projects are developed and maintained through the Associate Groups

Future Projects/Suggested Projects

Comments and Discussion
Hi folks! I am very happy to announce the completion of the Volume Summary Project! The last chapter summary has been written today and now the project has entered maintenance mode. By that I mean that the project will still be used to monitor and address concerns about the volume pages as a whole and there are still some outstanding issues. But the summaries are written. They will undoubtedly be improved, expanded and otherwise worked upon by other wiki editors but the point is, the volume pages are no longer big blank nothings! We did it! Yay!

So what's next? I have an idea swelling in my head but I am not going to get into the details of it yet. Mostly because I will be very busy in the coming week(s) and so need time to get the next project together, have the necessary discussions and the likes. I will get into the details of the project in due course. So watch this space! ^.^ Tinni   (Talk)  10:37, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Ok folks, Mohrpheus and I have spokent and it has been agreed that the Referencing Project will be changed to the Article Improvement Project, which will focus on improving an article in general. This includes adding references, expanding plot sections, adding pictures etc. This also eliminates the need of a stubs project in the future as all articles marked as "stubs" can be routed through the Article Improvement Project. Mohrpheus and I will be jointly co-leading the project. Tinni  (Talk)  02:31, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hello I am happy to announce that officially the overhaul that the Ichigo Kurosaki article page has taken far longer then intended is finished and it is now open again. In light of that I would ask all committee members to keep a watchful eye on it. Thank you. Salubri (Talk)  04:17, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

There are new guidelines put forth for images on the site please refer the Bleach Wiki:Image Policy. Salubri (Talk)  04:12, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hey everyone Ive given it some thought and Im thinking of updating and redoing the main page. Any ideas for something advanced or different to make the main page stand out and amaze other wiki sites. I was also thinking of trying out the image slider for a week, though I question whether it would work with anime images and the image quality of being so large. In any case the point remains any incites would be appreciated and if you can refer them to my talk page that would be great. Thanks. --Salubri (Talk)  18:44, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
