User Trouble
Mind stepping in here. This user believes he can add whatever he wants to the articles and that we have no right to remove it no matter what--God (Pray)  02:04, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Request
Hey, sorry If I'm bothering you. But I was wondering if you could explain to me how you hide a section of an article on wiki's. Everyone I've asked has either outright ignored me, or simply don't know themselves and I don't know where to begin to try myself. Any help would be appreciated. Kenji Hiroshi (talk) 16:43, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch, man. Out of six people, you're the only one's who's replied. Thanks a lot! My friend and I couldn't figure it out for the life of us. Kenji Hiroshi (talk) 17:05, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that you either editted or made the coding for Renji's info box. I am trying to do something similar on my own wikia and cannot figure out all of the coding I may need. Could you please help me? Hikotsu (talk) 00:31, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Yo Bro
Can you check my edit on Hogyoku's History section, added that Aizen too had created his own Hogyoku, it didnt appears, or is it wrongly done?Soulreaper1234 (talk) 11:44, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

New Page Idea
Hello, I just wanted your opinion on whether or not I could/should start a page for the High-Speed Regeneration that Hollows have. A large number of characters and Hollows have used it, and the manga has given us a lot of information regarding its weaknesses, strengths, etc (as explained by Ryuken and Ulquiorra). A lot of this info is already on the wiki, but it is spread all over the place; the idea for the article would be to make it easily accessible, with maybe even a gif or two demonstrating the ability. We have way more information about the power than we do for Bala or Gonzui, so I think it could merit its own article. Mohrpheus (talk) 13:15, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Templates
I added a Romanji parameter. Sorry, I didn't know it was off limits. Shall I undo it or do you approve? WD  Talk to me  16:31, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

PS. I'm trying to make an infobox template for dolls, is that OK? WD  Talk to me  16:33, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

The romanji parameter did appear in Ichigo's page, but I'll undo the changes because of the spacing problem. As for the dolls, isn't there a way to have the vacant brackets invisible? I know it's used in some of the character infoboxes. I used the Zanpakutō template for Dalk as a pilot on Gō Koga's page. It looks fine to me. WD  Talk to me  16:54, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Inactivity
Yeah I'm done with it at least for now, sorry about not saying anything. It's just that I'd rather focus on the Anime Summaries right now since it needs a lot of work done with it, and then maybe in the future if I find enough time I'll help out more with the fight summaries. Once again, sorry about this. TheDevilHand888 (talk) 19:49, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Question about Arrancar powers.
Hey Salubri I have a question for you, being an admin maybe you can clear this up. I noticed all the Arrancars that are Hand-to-Hand combatants, Sword Experts, etc... Are not listed in the Zanjutsu and Hakuda sections respectively. Is this done on purpose for a certain reason. Or, has no one thought to add the Arrancar, I just wanted to clear it up. Thanks. Ltjuno (talk) 19:57, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I guess Arrancar109 made his position clear on it already. So I guess they are not to be added. Ltjuno (talk) 19:59, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Inactivity
I guess I'm going through a bit of a rough patch; never in a mood to do anything at all. So yes, I've changed my stance from last time we spoke; I think it's probably best if I stepped down.

For what it's worth, may I suggest Godisme as a possible replacement. Thanks. TomServo101 (Talk)  21:50, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New wiki stuff
No disrespect intended to any of them, and I feel kinda bad saying this, but if someone is not contributing to the wiki, then I don't think that there is much point in them being an admin and so they should probably not continue to be an admin. They effectively are not an admin atm anyway due to their inactivity and thus the wiki is not going to suffer if their admin status is removed. The wiki is certainly not benefiting from it right now. If they ever return, they will have to reacquaint themselves with the site and policies which will take time, especially if they return after Wikia's New Look is implemented. We can review their case then, but in the meantime, well, times move on.

However, I think that if their admin status is removed, we should consider creating a section for them on the admin page listing them as former admins to acknowledge their past contribution to the wiki.

Tinni is the obvious candidate for a new admin and I would fully support her as an admin if she agrees to become one. We all know the work and dedication she has put in to this wiki, she is fully familiar with the policies and very helpful to other users, has good ideas and is good with the technical side of things. Unlike the recent flurry of user's asking to be admin in the mistaken believe that it will help them to edit, Tinni would actually benefit from the access to admin privileges and use them well. On top of that, with the New Look on the horizon, I think a fourth active admin would be quite good in case there are problems.

I have seen a number of people recently applying to be an admin saying that it will help them to make edits etc (see the request to be admin page and Forum:How to become an administrator). There seems to be a misconception out there that being an admin makes editing easier, with people not understanding that their edits are undone because they are poorly done, flat out wrong or against policy.

I also support Godisme for the Committee. He meets the requirements and would be good for the committee, imo. Looking at the discussion that was held over who should be the new number two on the committee to replace Minato88, I just hope that there is not so much trouble getting someone to be the new committee leader as there was then.

As sidenote, I started doing the beta testing for the wiki's New Look over the last two days. This basically involves editing as normal, while using the new look. So if you see any odd things in my edits, let me know so that I can fix them and report the problem to Wikia. You'll also see me making some edits at MediaWiki:Wikia.css. This is purely for the new look and will not affect anything related to the way the site is currently. I'm not allowed to say much about the new look other than what has been announced on Central Wiki, but my impressions are that presentation-wise it is a nice clean look, but there is much less space due to the fixed width, huge navigation bar at the top and fat sidebar on the right. There is a new blog post on central about the themes for the New Look. Going by that, the fixed width is there to stay and the empty space to the sides will be part of the theme/design and will be (relatively) easy to customize. Unfortunately I actually don't know anything more than that about it as they are not testing that bit yet. But I'm keeping an eye out for the hacks and mods that other users make to it for their own sites to get around things they don't like. I'll post about them if they're an issue for us here. There are already a couple of those popping up. 15:15, September 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Will do and I'm definitely in favour of a theme more relevant to Bleach. Most pages are holding up fine with the new layout so far despite the huge change. The main page is perfectly fine in the new look, bar the poll template continuing out too far to the right, but that seems to be an issue on Wikia's side rather than ours. That's probably about all I can get away with saying about it right now. 15:36, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

I don't feel I have to say all of the reasons, since Yyp said it already, but I'm in full support of Tinni becoming an administrator and Godisme being in the Committee.

I also like Yyp's idea of putting up a section of former administrators on the page, as I feel they each did some important contributions to the Wiki. I'm thinking we should probably close off the "Requests for Adminship" page, due to too many misconceptions. Obviously Yyp explained that part too, and I'm kind of getting tired people applying to be administrators just because their edits are undone, they're not reading the policies, or because they just hate the policies we have set up. Whether we get rid of the page itself is altogether, but I think we should at least close it off for now (and have it closed off indefinitely; I still see people trying to apply for adminship for these reasons after the theoretical reopening date comes).

As for the site design... Just go with whatever you want. I admit we need a new look, but I haven't been able to keep up enough with any sort of changes you had in mind since you pitched the idea on the Admin Talk page, which is why I haven't said much about it in the past. If there's something I missed afterwards, then please fill me in on the details I missed. Also, if you think our Favicon needs changing (the icon that shows up next the web address when on this site/the icon that shows up on your browser when the site is opened in a tab), let me know what you guys come up with, as I've been wondering about that part myself without copying either the Spanish Bleach Wiki or the German Bleach Wiki's Favicons. Arrancar109 (Talk)  15:52, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yes I saw the resignation and as for SerielSniper, he hasn't edited his other wiki since July the last I checked. So I think that's a case of RL getting in the way too. I am happy for SerielSniper to be dropped but with only Godisme as a replacement candidate, I think it is best to leave Nwang2011 alone. Nwang2011 has been very upfront about his commitments. He explained that he was going to be starting his 1st year of college in August, during the fukutaicho discussion and its just September. Which means that he's just getting used to college life and figuring out how to balance things. We should give him more time to adjust to his new life as a college student and if he still can't make time then we can think about it.


 * As for myself becoming an admin... umm... well, the things is that last monday I was offered a job in the UK. I currently live is Australia and have to relocate to the UK by 1st of November. Right now, nothing's going to change as nothing I have to do between now and end of October is going to impact much on how much I can edit the wiki. However, all things going smoothly (I don't even have the required Visa yet), I have no idea where I am going to even live come November. Plus new job in a foreign country... I guess what I am saying is that its not that I don't want to become an admin. But I think its best that I don't become an admin until November/December. I mean, if you have someone who can start immediately then go right ahead and promote them. But I am not comfortable saying yes to being an admin now when I might have to even resign my post as Taicho of the committee come November/December because my new job and just general life in the UK leave me no time for anything. Tinni   (Talk)  16:09, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well I am still here until end of October at least and since getting Broadband in whatever hovel I end-up in the UK is on top of my list, images and gifs shouldn't be a problem. But we'll see come November. As I said, I don't even know what's going to happen but we'll see come November. Tinni  (Talk)  16:34, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Rationale
Hi, I have a little problem with adding the rationale to Hisana's profile picture. Well, lately I've been trying to add the rationale to the pics that are marked for deletion and had had no problem 'til now, when I tried to add it to Hisana's current profile picture File:Hisana.jpg. Even if I have already added the rationale, it's still tagged as if "Candidate for Deletion (No rationale)". I revised it and redid the rationale twice, but it still remains like that, any idea of why it is like this, did I miss something? This is the first time something like this happens, the "Deletion" tag usually disappears automatically when the rationale is added. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  08:20, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks. In the future, if it happens again, should I delete the "Candidate for Deletion" tag manually? Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  08:51, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New look ????
It's becoming increasingly clear that the new look is aimed more at improving Wikia for readers and new editors, promoting various wikis & updating the software, rather than the experienced and dedicated existing editors (though it looks good (mostly) and there are things that make it better for us too, just not that much so far). There is also a focus on expanding on features that are well used and changing or scraping what is not used (they monitor how many people click on what and patterns of use etc). Hopefully there are more features to come that will be useful to editors.


 * Article comments are not part of the New Look. They are a relatively new thing that appear on brand new wikis, but not on old ones and the Wikia staff have said that it will not be put on any existing wiki unless that wiki requests it. Thankfully we have nothing to worry about there.


 * The nav bar is far too big, and I have said as much in the testing, as have a lot of people. Wikia have not said anything about changing its size etc that I am aware of, but I've seen a site that has managed to shrink it down, so I'll be copying what they did if wikia does not change the size on their own. There is too much emphasis on spotlights and the links to other wikis imo.


 * The last edited by/category thing: I agree, it is weird and seems to go against the spirit of wikis being about the content rather than the editor. Wikia says its to help new users understand that a wiki is editable by anyone, but I don't get it. It is something that I have gotten used to though, so I don't really notice it much anymore. The category thing is (apparently) because not many people use the categories, so to make it more obvious, or something to that effect.


 * Completely agree with there not being enough space. I've kinda gotten used to it, but I still think that it is far too little space for the content. There is a table of content, which is the same as before. Most of the templates are still working, but some will likely need adjusting.


 * Yup, sidebar is too wide, especially considering how much space is being lost due to the fixed width. I saw on central that there are more modules being made for it. I also have something that might get rid of the photo module, but have yet to try it out.


 * Wikia is adamant that while they are listening to the feedback, this change is going ahead. Don't know how much help Wikia will be giving, but they better be offering a lot of help when the switch is made. There is a forum for beta testers which is proving useful and the staff are helpful there.

I'll post later or possibly tomorrow about the things that are going to need changing and suggestions, or at least what I can get away with without breaking the non-disclosure thing. 20:57, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Inactivity
Hey, Salubri Sorry for my recent inactivity. Since I have started college a few weeks ago, I am finding that studying and schoolwork takes significantly more time than when I was in high school (even when I had AP coursework). I have been working to adjust how I manage myself and my time to accommodate the college workload so I can get a proper routine set. Hence, why I have been inactive as of late. I realize that there is quite a number of things to finish up on the site and I do need to contribute as a committee member/project leader. I should tell you that one of the factors that has kept me from being active on the site recently is one of my “bad habits.” The habit is when I start working on an article, I get so entranced in making the article “perfect” that I find myself taking longer than might be needed to work on an article (and so “procrastinating” from studying). For example, if there is referencing to be done, I will find myself adding to a segment with much more details instead of only adding references (as I have been doing with the Uryū Ishida article for the Article Improvement project).

Basically, I have been gone due to having to adjust to a higher schoolwork load and to address my habit of “working too much” on parts of an article. Once I get a proper routine set, I should be able to contribute at least on a weekly basis (or every other week if I have a really heavy workload).- Mr. N 05:01, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re:High Speed Regeneration
There wasn't really an issue with it, but it didn't match the format that a lot of the other ability pages had. You can change it back if you really think it's necessary. Mohrpheus (talk) 17:29, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Unfounded edits to the top 3 Espada's articles
It seems Selenebean has no intention of ceasing his/her attempts to weasel his supposed "information" about Harribel, Starrk, and Baraggan's heights into their articles. His/her edits have reverted/undone several times already, with in-"edit summary" warnings against such behavior in some cases, and yet s/he's not getting the hint. The fact that his/her account was only created today makes it seem like an intentional act of... well, I suppose "vandalism" is too strong a term to describe his/her actions. Something must be done, and quickly.

PS: Baraggan's article requires reversion of three sequential edits by Selenebean. Thank you. MarqFJA (talk) 07:02, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Icons
I think you should change the link on the Urahara's group icon. Right now it points to nowhere. It would probably be best to change it to the Urahara Shop.--God (Pray)  04:15, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Translations
Yeah, I'd draw the line with titles as well. Like you said, if we started it with one, then we'd have to start it with the others, and that's something I don't feel we need to go through, especially when rankings like Captain-Commander, Captain, and Lieutenant are identifiable with both audiences. It's fine with certain objects, techniques, and organizations, but titles and naming is where it'll cause more problems than it'll fix. I don't feel that we need to redo the entire site just to fit a standard that many audiences still aren't familiar with. Arrancar109 (Talk)  05:47, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if people think we should change it, then we should do it (this was brought up, what? Twice? Three times?). To be honest, I'm fine either way, but if there's enough noise about the Royal Guard and Kido Corps to have them changed, then we can do it. Also, don't forget that the Onmitsukido used to be titled "Special Forces", and it was almost never referred to as "Onmitsukido" until someone pointed out that the "Special Forces" translation wasn't an entirely accurate translation, so we changed it when we had the confirmed Japanese name for it. I believe if we do have them changed, then the Royal Guard and Kido Corps would be referred to as "Ōzokutokumu" and "Kidōshū" respectively. If you're still not entirely sure regarding the Royal Guard and Kido Corps, you can wait until Yyp responds. I've given my opinion on the matter though: I'm fine with either way we do the Royal Guard and Kido Corps. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  06:12, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Same here, titles should be left in English. I don't see the point in changing things like captain, captain-commander, corps commander etc, and Spirit King is just a title like those. I have no problem with changing the Royal Guard and Kido Corps pages if there is demand for it, but it is not important. I'm happy with objects/organizations being in Japanese, but titles English. 08:35, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

I can't image that there is much that can be said on this, so a note in the Manual of Style would be the best place for it, maybe under creating new pages or moving pages. I can't think how you would word such a thing though. 19:50, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Can't change my avatar?
I'm sorry I'm so new at Wikia, but I can't change my avatar. Each time I upload one, a deformed version of another picture I uploaded sets like my avatar.

I don't know if you can do anything about it or if it's just Wikia.

Anyway, thanks in advance and for all the effort you put in this page (which, I have to say, is AWESOME)

Re:Function Gone?
I didn't do anything to it. The code is still there on MediaWiki:Common.js. Wikia must have done something that affected it. It seems to have stopped working on the answers site too. I'll see if I can find out what happened. 21:36, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Onmitsukido
If you are refereeing to the white hooded people who came to take Rukia away, then I am stumped. I went through the book of SOULs and Bootlegs looking for a reference to them and while I have a vague memory of seeing one, I can't find it. So I would just chalk it up to general confusion due to there being so little information on the Omnitsukido. Tinni  (Talk)  04:25, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Seems that way. The reference is a general one to the SOULs but as I sad, I can't find the page talking about those guys. Tinni  (Talk)  05:09, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Bot Help

Re:Site
Well, I suppose it is good to keep informed of our options, though I'm personally not in favour of it. But that's up to the community at large I suppose. It is worth remembering that Wikia have abandoned things in the past, such as the wikistickies thing last year because it didn't work out as they hoped. Well, we can hope anyway. There will be an update to the new look tomorrow, part of which I understand will address at least one issue we have with one new feature of the look (not sure I can say what it is because of NDA, but it will be a visible change). Not much, but they are at least doing something with the complaints, though it often feels like nothing is happening. 23:37, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia alternatives
What are your thoughts on moving to a wikia alternative such as shoutwiki?

Rangiku Mastumoto article
Why do you want the word "Fracción" to be linked to three different pages? It doesn't make sense that one word links to different places depending on where you click it. The word itself should link to a page that has information about all three Fracción, which is what the link is supposed to do... inform users about Harribel's Fracción. I don't think this word should be trifurcated, because no link on the internet behaves like that. Users will not expect this behaviour from a regular-looking link.

Discussion
If you want to criticize the way I do things as you have been, I'd much rather you contact me directly than mash it together with your perfectly legit argument. There is no need to point the finger at me and cry foul on such a high profile discussion page, especially since they are only supposed to be about article content. My intent in starting the topic was purely professional, and it could have been resolved professionally. Perhaps it is only by chance that you are the only admin that has ever confronted me like that, but I would appreciate it if you did it more discreetly. So I ask you, since only you have pointed out this flaw that I have - what am I doing wrong? I'll gladly take whatever you say to heart, and put this all behind me. Mohrpheus (talk) 21:04, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, and I understand completely. I apologize for what I did those times, as I did not even stop to consider the deeper consequences of my actions. With as much work as everybody already has on this site, it was ludicrous for me to side with a random user that fast without waiting for other people's opinions. I hate to look at it as being a means of abusing the little authority I have on the site, but in the end, that is exactly the way it seems. I'll be sure to not let this happen again. Again, thanks for the considerate response; no hard feelings, I hope. Mohrpheus (talk) 03:10, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

As of now, the plan is to wait until the change is permenant before making any major changes, but we plan to, if we do leave Wikia, turn the current Narutopedia into a fandom type place; dropping most of the policies, allow fanart, speculation, making the articles less encyclopedic, and making the new site basically Narutopedia 2.
 * But all of that depends on if we make the jump or not. Until Oasis got forced on the users, opinion was kinda minor, but once it was up for all to see a lot of people chimed in that they'd prefer the old skin so it's all up in the air.--TheUltimate3~The User King~ 22:17, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yup, seems to be the case from what the staff have said, here and elsewhere (can't think where I saw it now). They are alright with hiding certain things for yourself, just as long as you don't "subject" others to the same loss of the experience. 22:29, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that you will have to change your user page and talk page when the new skin arrives. The pictures on your userpage overlap with the tables now and the anchor links on your talk page blend in to the background you put around them.

Rudobōn
While manga left this uncertain, episode 272 heavily implies that he was freezed by Rukia and killed by Yammy crushing him to bits (though he would die anyway even without Yammy's intervention, much like D-Roy) Why this is still not changed? He should be considered deceased... As for as I know this Wiki prefers manga-based anime info over its manga precodessor (ex. Ishida's hand, Hiyori's injuries and many more). This lack of consequence is what bothers me the most. Nekosama, 21:54 October 1, 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to clarify it. I agree that manga is our primary source, and everything what's in it is considered to be top in Bleach canon. However, if manga gets adapted into the anime, the anime version of events is used in the articles, right? And so we do not write that Ishida lost his hand to Ulqiourra but rather he was injured by him, we do not write that Hiyori was cut in half by ichimaru, but rather stabed by him, and we do not write that Niggre was was killed by Giggo and we never seen him again, but that he surived that hit and was eventually killed by Omeada (though it was mentioned how it ended in manga). Also pictures from anime are preferred over its manga equivalent (but these are rather obvious reasons). Some of this differences were significant, thus the Censorship section was created. Other minor differnces were also metioned in trivia section.

And what do we have in Rudobōn article? The article states that his fate is left unknown, while in trivia section it ts implied that he was killed by Yammy in anime. A little consequence, please? Nekosama, 23:33 October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Recent Edit to Yamamoto page
Hey Salubri. Sorry, I know you're an admin but when I edited your write up on Yamamoto for Chapter 423, it was because it seemed incomplete, the grammar was a bit off, and you didn't mention the fact that he lost his left arm which I think is important. I just added more detail, and I guess it seemed like you just undid my edit without reading it. I felt like it was fine. I wrote last week's chapter on Ichigo which has been unedited so far and wrote a better version of the recent Ichigo info for this week's chapter, so I don't think my writing is bad

The colour of the search box needs changing to make it stand out properly (currently grey on black) and the licensing/discussion templates needing their colours changed. I'll set the recent changes byte indicators to different shades for red/green so they show up more clearly. Other than that everything seems to be working so far. 10:14, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

It really is a problem. In the past month I've been working on adding the rationale to pictures with the { No rationale } tag, and last night I started adding the fair use and the rationale to some of those Uncategorized images, but even after I do it, they remain listed as Uncategorized.

Alright, this was seriously the only good shot of Wonderweiss in his released state. Most other opportunities were either too distant, too heavily shadowed, or had him in too much of an awkward pose.

Okay, this is all that I could come up with, plus an image Prophet of Sanghelios uploaded of Yamamoto resorting to Hakuda. This is all I could do, as, despite how well-done the fight was done, there weren't many clear shots to choose from. I also wanted to do an image of Wonderweiss' punching barrage on Yamamoto, but there was no way to get a clear shot of that, because the speed of Wonderweiss' punches are obscuring the scene, making it impossible to get a clear shot of it.

Well if that's the case why make these moves: Hell Butterfly→Jigokuchō; Artificial Soul→Gikon; King's Key→Ōken? The average user will always look for the English translation they saw in anime or sometimes manga, that's the reason why we have redirects. WD  Converse  23:19, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Featured article
Are you sure that's wise? I mean, I can see that sort of problem and understand why you would see it as a problem, but unlike our previous problem where people just show up for the sole purpose of voting (some still do, as you can see), Mohrpheus and Godisme are consistent contributors on the site and have done a lot in general to vastly improve each of our articles. Given the situation, this would be the last time Aizen would ever be featured; the Fake Karakura Town arc in the anime is not going to last another six months before Aizen becomes an eligible choice.

Aside from that, I think part of the problem is that most of our active members may not have been aware that the voting for the Article of the Month has begun, as we only have 3 people who voted (not counting the ones whose votes were deleted/invalid). Remember, we used to have a notice posted at the top of the page to notify everyone that voting for the Article of the Month is opened, but with this new layout, it seems that we haven't figured out how to get this out in the open yet. If you want an alternative, I would say we extend the deadline for the article an extra five days and post a notice on the Main Page. As it stands, regardless of this problem, in the long run, we're going to need a way to announce that voting for the Article of the Month is opened, so we can attract more of our active users to voting. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:25, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Like I said, this is the first time we've done Featured Articles with this layout, so there are some aspects of it and some changes we've done that people aren't used to. Ultimately, we may have to find a way to display this at the top of the page like we used to. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  18:33, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say in regards to this issue, I think it is an issue!! Aizen has already been featured this year, and it's beginning to become like a recycled merry-go-round with the same characters over and over!! I think there needs to be a change in rules for it in regards to the elngth of time between each character because we've had Byakuya recently and now looks like we're going to have Aizen again!! I voted for Renji to try and make it more diverse, maybe pointing out that we don't need to vote for the most powerful characters all the time or the most popular!! That's all it seems to be recently!! Le Sigh!! I don't think people should be winners in the same year or within a year of the last time because look at what it's doing, it's making the work that people have done on other articles seem "not as good" just because the characters aren't as powerful or as popular!! A little frustrating!! (BTW I hate Renji!!) SunXia (talk) 09:05, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Isshin Kurosaki - Power
Hey, Salubri. The discussion about Isshin's power (his ability to "flick" Aizen through buildings) has been closed for quite a while. However, seeing as the anime is now out, I think it deserves to be reopened for discussion. To make my own point, it is obvious in the anime that the attack was Kido-based and not physical. Thanks for the consideration. Jrutled3 (talk) 06:03, November 10, 2010 (UTC) Thank you, Jrutled3. Mr. R (talk) 00:42, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, Salubri. I concur with the above statement. Evidence contrary to the "physical attack" theory has been provided in the recent anime episode. This is definitely a topic that should now be open for discussion since the story has reached this point in the manga and anime.

@Salubri:


 * Apparently the concept of kido and what qualifies are simply lost. Unless you can associate a number, name, incantation or even another instance where this exact attack was used in the story before its simple strength on isshin's part.

That doesn't seem to be at all reasonable. Let me turn the question around on you: Can you associate a number, name, incantation, or even another instance when Aizen's barriers were used in the story before? The fact that an incantation was not spoken does not mean that one does not exist - the point has been clearly made that Kido can be performed without an incantation; and that some Kido has no incantation at all (e.g. Shunko). And the fact that a name was not verbalized does not mean a name for it does not exist. Also, your reasoning is slightly off when you say, "its not even a conclusion i would reach," pertaining to Isshin's ability possibly being Kido-based. You may not reach that conclusion, but everyone else might - has that not occurred to you? Can the discussion be opened, and a consensus reached, without you demanding it be your way or no way?Jrutled3 (talk) 03:16, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * To further what has already been said, on this site's very Kido page, there is a listing of multiple non-spell types of kido. Most of these have only been seen once, yet we recognize them clearly as kido. We really don't know how some of these even function, but they are clearly being used by those who are masters of manipulation of their reiatsu. And, if you are going to abide by what we already know, Isshin is a master. Therefore, why is there a denial of a possibility of it being kido based? We know Isshin is physically strong, but how could he cross his arms and flick the air and cause Aizen to go through three buildings if it were a physical attack? We see the power pulsating away from the flick. Salubri, I respect the position of administrator; however, if you are unwilling to consider the consensus of many Bleach fans, I don't see how you are truly accomplishing the role of dispensing generally accepted information. With respect, your conclusions on a topic are not necessarily correct just because they are your personal views. Mr. R (talk) 03:44, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

I actually prefer the one with the latent energy effect as it high lights the cross without obscuring it. Otherwise the 5th tower was just a bit dark to take a good screen shot. Let me know if this isn't enough. Tinni  (Talk)  22:05, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Site Question for you
I recently adopted a wiki and it has some problems with unregistered users. How do I make it like this site where only registered users can contribute?--<font color="#660066" face="Verdana">God <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">(Pray)  20:22, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I figured it out, the lock comes from Special:Protectsite. I wanted to warn you though to never let wikia staff know that that is active because it is supposed to only be active for a small amount of time. It is meant to stop vandalism from anonymous users for a short period of time and after that time the wikia staff will de-activate it. So someone probably forgot to de-activate it here and thus its still active here. Just don't let any wikia staff know or it will be taken away--<font color="#660066" face="Verdana">God <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">(Pray)  06:51, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

Kazeshini Gif
Sorry about that. I uploaded a fixed version. I had a look at Rangiku's release. It's not great. They show a close-up of her face and then the ash and the swordless hilt. It doesn't actually show her blade turning into ash like the current gif. I'll experiment with splicing scenes to see if I can capture the full effect of her blade turning into ash. I'll put it on the article talk page if I get anything decent. Tinni  (Talk)  23:07, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Logo
My computer screen cracked and I had to send it in. Upon receiving it back I found that HP had taken my hard drive meaning I lost my design and photoshop.

Kido and Technique Infoboxes
Recently on the Kido talk page, specifically here, Tinni thought that we should probably make infoboxes for individual Kido pages, and it got me thinking maybe we can do it for both Kido and other techniques such as Cero and other non-Kido techniques that have their own pages. Since you're good with Infoboxes, I thought it would be something you could look into. Get back to me if you have any concerns. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  20:37, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

User:Killbethy
Firstly, I am not asking for a deletion, merely a review. Basically, Killbethy edited the closed discussion on Ichigo's page on the topic of Ichigo's species classification. I reverted the edit and left a warning about editing closed discussion and explanation on their talk page. Killbethy then made a blog post on the topic where they copy/pasted their earlier argument. My chief concern with the blog is Killbethy's repeated insistence on referencing the misprint of Aizen's dialogue. Killbethy did affix a note per my explanation but the wording, in my opinion, is too weak. I tried to explain everything to Killbethy but the discussion has just devolved into "well Kubo could reveal Masaki as not being human since the story isn't finished". Considering that still deal on a regular basis with people who quote Aizen's misprinted speech as evidence that Ichigo might be something else and there are still people asking questions about "can Shinigami and Arrancar have babies" in Bleach Answers, I have no patience for weak language that invites speculation at best, crack theory at worst. Plus, are we really still entertaining Ichigo is not-human discussion in any form? Anyway, point is that I think you should review the situation as I am concerned about the spread of misinformation.

Re: Hey whats going on
All pages are still appearing as the normal (squashed) size for me and search boxes are showing up on user pages. I dont see any pages missing it that had it before. I couldn't edit or delete blog posts for the past week. But I just checked and I can do it again on one blog but not another. Seems intermittent. I don't think we've had a link to central wikia since anywhere on the site since the new look came in.

The site (and Bleach Answers) has had a lot of weird glitches coming and going the past couple of weeks for me. Sometimes recent changes is broken, sometimes I cant post a blog comment or it takes hours for it to show up, other times I cant edit categories. Then a few minutes later whatever it was could be working again. I'm not aware wikia doing anything that might be responsible for the problems. Hope its sorted soon though 22:17, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Edits
My bad. Sorry. I'm really bad at paying attention to the manual. I hate to read those things. But since I've broken the rules so many times, yeah, maybe I should go over them. Thanks.

By the way, did you take a look at the spoiler? Last time I checked it the spoiling content was outside of the drop-down link. I don't know how to fix that, but the spoiling content was out there for anyone to see it. Could you check that and see if it's still there, and if so fix it for the sake of those who don't want to see spoiling content?

Shinigami ranks for users
I have this wild idea that I think could be both fun and beneficiary. It consists of Bleach Wiki users getting Shinigami ranks based on the number of edits they make. The first edit gives the user a default rank of Unseated Shinigami. Once users complete 10 edits they are made a 20th Seat and then given a new rank with every 10 edits until 11th Seat (100 edits) at which point they get a new rank for each 100 edits, when those with 900 edits achieve the rank of 3rd Seat. This has to be the highest rank for standard users, as the lieutenant rank is reserved for committee members.

Needless to say those will only be honorary ranks and won't allow the users any real authority, but they will (hopefully) serve as incentives to be more active in the Wiki and an admin or bureaucrat could revoke a user's rank as punishment for misbehavior, so that would also be a sort of deterrent (again, hopefully).

The only problem is I don't know if this idea is technically doable. All I know is the first edit starts a user page for you and a talk page with a bot message signed by an admin. So for the moment I need to know if this is technically achievable, and if you have any interest in this initiative. If you like it but think it's too much work or not worth the trouble, that's cool too. WD  Converse  22:17, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * Achievements are little badges that you get rewarded with for making a blog post or making an edit to a category. They reward you with a shiny medal for stuff you should be doing any way. They distract from editing to improve the site, people start editing purely to get the achievements. They replace edit count.

Image Attribution
Now that image attribution is not required, i think everyone on the site agrees we should take it off. If you want to do so it can be done at MediaWiki:Wikia.css. Just add the code /* Hide "Image added by" on articles */ div.picture-attribution { display:none !important; } to the end of the existing code you have there.--<font color="#660066" face="Verdana">God <font color="#660066" face="Verdana">(Pray)  08:16, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Pic Attribution
I've sent a request off to Wikia to disable it. They usually say that there should be consensus from the community to have a feature removed. They haven't gotten back to me yet, so I'm not sure if they'll insist on it being put to a new vote or if they will take the blog about it as a consensus, but if its the latter then it should be gone today. If they want a vote, I'll put up a forum for it as soon as they answer. 10:31, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

My Christmas break just started recently, so I'll get to work on those articles that you mentioned on my page.

Re: Templates
It wasn't a dig at you. I just thought the pages looked ridiculous the way they were. Once the previous squad pictures from the Houki Boshi ending was removed and the insignia moved from being with the table to the top of the page the layout, as I saw it, begged for an infobox - so I made one. It certainly wasn't an unnecessary change from my perspective, as it improved aesthetics and was simply providing a page with what it clearly lacked. Also, please don't bring-up lack of communication because I don't remember you talking about doing the basic info tables in the first place. Had you done so, I would have mentioned infoboxes back then. But you didn't because you thought the page would look better with the basic info table. Well the page did look better with the basic info table when they were first added but the page has changed since then and the wiki has changed since then and most pages on the wiki now have info boxes. So it is only natural that the division pages change as well and get infoboxes. Plus I don't see why you are so upset. I did model the info box after your tables and even used the individual colour scheme thing. The way I see it, the basic info box just changed it's position on the page. Nothing more. Hardly "a major" change. Tinni  (Talk)  16:43, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that one is done through a simple text gen site. If you want that one I can create numerous variations on that. Most simply, I can make one that uses the actual logos colors instead of the off colors that site uses. Also, I can create one where it uses the actual colors and the word wiki is below the lines, leaving the Japanese text in place. If you want one of those, let me know and I can have that done probably but the end of the day. Those are very simple.Edit: Alright, this is what I can basically do in that vain.

I got bored again. So I made a logo incorporating Godisme's idea. Actually, I thought about this idea too within the first month of the new look, but I didn't think I'd be able to make it. I can adjust the size of the "WIKI" at the bottom to make the main logo bigger if you like. By the way, do you think this version could replace the Monobook logo? Also, what do the other admins think about our ideas? FOMA (talk) 17:20, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Ichigo vs. Ichinose and Kariya fight
Hey I was doing the Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Maki Ichinose & Jin Kariya fight, but I just wanted to know how much information needs to be included in the prologue. Should things like Ichigo's fight with Ryō and Ichinose's brief fight with Rukia and the mod-souls be included or would that be put elsewhere since right now I don't see anything for those two events. Thanks. TheDevilHand888 (talk) 23:19, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

The mod-soul stuff is pretty small and could be put into the prologue, but the stuff with Ryō I think could get its own page since, at least judging from the amount of paragraphs, lasts a bit longer then the Ichigo vs. Ichinose and Kariya fight. Also, if we don't do that then we would have to include everything that happens in the mansion on one page, and I think it would be a bit weird to include everything on just that one page especially since the fight with Ichinose and Kariya is meant to be the main part.

Re: Article Improvement
Sorry about the delay, actually I've already done most of the work in the Quincy and Sanrei Glove articles, I just need one reference about the Sanrei Glove that Ican't find anywhere, so I haven't marked them as completed yet. I was actually going to ask Tinni or Yyp about it because I've reread the manga 10 times and I can't find the reference that I'm missing. The Hirenkyaku article is almost done too, I only need a Gif of the ability, but I wasn't sure if Tinni was around, I was actually going to ask her today.

Why not make cataloguing easier?
Instead of having to post the images for cataloguing, wouldn't it be easier for all parties if there was a category of Images for Cataloguing? I think adding/removing categories is much faster and easier than having to constantly update and archive the image gallery talk page. The only reason to keep it like it is today is if you think the history is important somehow, but I don't see in what way. WD  Converse  18:39, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

I see your point, but for those of us who are concerned with keeping the policies, and that's not just committee members; there are several other users who routinely upload images and they do bother with licensing and FUR. And for the admins too, I just think the process of adding/removing categories would be a lot less of a hassle than it is today. WD  Converse  21:10, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I didn't put or take down any images on Ichigo's page or Aizen's page; rather, the user who uploaded those images uploaded them "as newer versions" of the already licensed and rationaled manga images, which goes directly against our Image Policy. It may not be these cases in general, but our Wiki has a history of users randomly replacing an existing image with one they like better, which was why the Image Policy was established in the first place. I can go ahead and reupload those images and place them over the manga images that user tried to replace, but I'm going to upload them as new images, not over the existing ones. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  21:51, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: unnecessary work
I put up the Romaji of what I could make out. And besides, some other kido pages have the original Japanese symbols put up. And I put it up there because I couldn't notice any on the Kurohitsugi page. Really, maybe you should remove the kanji sentences and the Romaji for the incantations on the other kido pages if you don't want to deal with this sort of thing...

And what did I do to get you pissed off this time? Unnecessary work? Can't you let other people decide that? --Reikson (talk) 01:22, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought I was past that! And I like to think that I've made useful contributions!
 * You know what?!? Fine! Clearly, my past screwups (even if they were good-intentioned) have inclined your reactions against me in a particularly unfavorable manner. Then have an admin ban me for however long you see fit AFTER they've reviewed this whole incident! --Reikson (talk) 03:08, February 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here's the thing. I noticed that some kido pages had Romanized incantations, complete with kanji. Others didn't. When I noticed that this week's episode featured the spoken incantation for Kurohitsugi, I figured I got lucky and thought that I could make another contribution. Here's where it gets messy. I more or less went by ear as to how the incantation might've been Romanized, and I did try to get the most accurate kanji in question. Now I got lucky for the most part, but there are still a number of words and phrases that escaped me, and so I couldn't post it on the page. I thought about doing it in Kurohitsugi's Talk page, but who knows when that'll happen. Besides, it's not like I wanted the incantation expedited, like ASAP. It's just something that I thought I'd put up, just in case someone else (not necessarily Adam) could somehow manage to succeed where I failed. --Reikson (talk) 03:28, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Problem with the autocomplete
Hey. It seems the autocomplete doesn't recognize some of the newer articles. It doesn't autocomplete Xcution, Kūgo Ginjō, Giriko Kutsuzawa or Riruka Dokugamine because they were all created under different names and later moved. This is also true for several chapters, but that's less of a problem. This problem occurred lately because Kaoru Unagiya autocompletes fine and I know it had to be moved as well. Is there any way to fix this? WD  Converse  04:50, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Issues
No, that's alright. It's the strictness I mind the most, but I understand that 90% of the users won't respond to a more lax authority and would use it to run rampant. Other than that I think sometimes some of our top policy leaders (yourself and Tinni to be exact) are a little too harsh on new users. Such a thing could potentially scare off people who, in the long run, could contribute greatly to the site. But even that is understandable as you've had to put up with a lot of snit for very long and lost your patience. All in all, I think this site is terrific and that you and all the admins are doing a splendid job that has placed this site as one of the leading wikis of its genre and possibly at large.

Editing Mistake
I apologize. I saw what I thought should've been changed. I've been following the series, and I think it's pretty apparent that Ichigo is at a higher level than Shunpo Expert. Considering he bested Aizen in speed...who had previously engaged and defeated Yoruichi. Sorry for the discrepancy. Jay nice00 (talk) 03:35, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Edits
Really sorry about that. I didn't know how much info The Bounts Rise article would have (probably should've asked first), and as I was writing the fight I actually did think that the info I put in the prologue would be put into that article. However, since I already wrote it and the fact that I wasn't sure how much info should be put, I thought that might as well put the info in those two articles for now and if there was a problem I would simply remove the information, like I did now. Oh, and I guess I should somewhat try to justify myself and mention that the main reason for the confusion was the fact that the anime studio decided to make episode 80 pretty much a filler inside a filler, so that automatically made me assume that stuff from episode 79 and 81 would be from two different events. Anyway, really sorry about that again and I should have known better. The two fights should be fixed now though. Now, with Sado's article I've actually really been trying to cut down on the stuff I write for him, but it's a bit difficult since most of the time he's just around in the background not really saying anything unlike all the other characters. However, I guess now that I think about it I did still put a bit much info for him, so when I get a chance to start adding references for him again I'll go back and cut down the text I've already written. Anyway, really sorry about this again, along with the image thing from earlier. TheDevilHand888 (talk) 03:57, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hey sorry to bother you I just have a quick question since I don't want to mess this up. I noticed that the Invasion of the Shinigami World page has references on it that are for episode 91, 94, 97, and 99. However I thought that that page was just for all the events in episode 92, basically everthing from when the Bount initially invade Soul Society to right before the Rukia Kuchiki vs. Yoshi: Rematch battle, since that's what the infobox on the invasion of shinigami world page seems to imply. Anyway just asking since I don't want to mess the page up. Thanks. TheDevilHand888 (talk) 23:13, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

I tried doing this but unfortunately it is not going to work. I am limited by the text gen that I use. I have searched for a while to find an actual bleach font that I can download to my computer but I have not been able to find one. The way I made the logo was using a website that takes an input and spits it back out in the bleach font. I would then go into photoshop and correct the colors and size. With the headers though, the longer ones like, Featured Article of the Month, have to be made very small to fit standard text size and come out looking like nothing but a big blob of red and blue. Sorry--

Episode 310
I just saw the episode today, and it seems like there might be another filler arc coming. I know it's still weeks away, but still, I would like to make sure we have this established beforehand. When the arc does start, it would be placed after the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales/Beast Swords arc but before the Lost Substitute Shinigami arc, right? Because like the Bount arc, it does seem like this is going to tie in-between arcs instead of being an alternate storyline that the ZUT arc and the Amagai arc were. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  21:29, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I don't think the Aizen getting sealed gif can be done. I recreated from scratch today and still Bleach wiki is throwing a "thumbnail cannot be generated error". It can't be anything on my end because I created three other gifs today and they all worked. It's just this gif that's breaking the wiki system. As I said, the gif itself is working fine when you click on the link and view it out side of the wiki but the wiki system just can't generate a thumbnail. I suspect its a size issue.

Re:Statistic Issues.
How about you calm down and lose the attitude, first and foremost I don't question everything on the site, if I'm questioning something it's usually because it's either ambiguous or doesn't have a reference. Secondly, I was asking where the first two points came from not because I thought they should be removed, but because I was really interested to know if they were actually stated. I always thought Yamamoto was faster, and I wanted to know if I was missing something which is why I asked about that one. You are entirely out of line and way too sensitive. Maybe if you put even a single reference to anything you said on the page, I wouldn't have to ask.

I wasn't questioning the integrity of the info, because I already knew the info was true, I simply was wondering if there was like a specific chapter or databook that it was said in.

The other pages are no problem since reading the manga takes little time, but watching the anime (for starters, I don't even have those eps) would take too long and my current schedule doesn't allow me to take such liberties. I feel really sorry for it, but I don't want to slow down the whole project just because I can't find time to do it. The rest of the work I have, I'll find some time this weekend to get it done. Sorry for the inconveniences. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  06:46, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Ichigo vs. Assassin
I just want to make sure I am correct in thinking Ichigo Kurosaki vs. The Assassin takes place in Episode 170, and if so, shouldn't Rukia be part of the title since she does get involved in the fiht and does get lightly injured?? SunXia  (Chat)  18:12, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Hanza Nukui:Rematch
Hey, Sal!

Is the Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Hanza Nukui:Rematch page up to par with the other fight summaries that have been completed in the past? I just wanted to know, since I've proofread it several times, in heed of the warnings you presented me with the last time I attempted a fight summary.

Glitch
There seems to be a glitch or something going on with the Ichigo vs. Hanza page. I saw your post on Jirachiwish's talk page and so uploaded a different version of the image and placed it in the box. The same thing happened. It is not filling the box for some reason or another. I do not know why--

Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Hanza Nukui:Rematch Title Picture
Hey, Sal!

It seems that I'm not the only one having problems with the title picture on the Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Hanza Nukui:Rematch page! God (Godisme) uploaded the exact same picture, and it still has the same white border on the right. Since I have done 3 fight summaries correctly, does this mean that you "find me capable of doing a fight summary"?

Rules on the Bleach Wikia
Hello Salubri!

I kept browsing this particular wikia for a while now, since I started (and finished) watching all current Bleach episodes. I checked the policy section as well, after all every wikia has it's own rules.

But then I stumbled on a blog where a user openly stated that he hates the character Aizen. The user Godisme commented that "hating" characters is disrespectful to Tite Kubo's works, and the blog might be deleted because of that.

The question is, where can I read up on these "social" rules (or whatever they are)? I would have never guessed that anyone would take offense in something like that, so I just want to know if there is more to watch out for. 02:56, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Nnoitra's Eye Color
Okay I wanted to talk to you about this since you're an administrator and I'm sure I'm going to have to debate on this. Now on the Nnoitra Gilga page, it says his eye is dark gray. But I'm telling you that it is purple, it's just really hard to tell since his iris is so small. You just have to get an extreme close-up on his eye. MajinAbura (talk) 11:18, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Skipped Fight
Hey, I was working on the Bount Invasion when I noticed that there may be a skipped fight. No fight covers Yoshino vs. Kariya and the creation of the Bitto. It goes from Ichigo vs. Ichinose and Kariya which is right before the Bitto are created, to Bounts Rise, which is after. Unless I am missing something I think that needs to be covered either in an already created event or fight or in a new one.--

hey
Thanks. I'll submit some new stuff if I'm allowed to

RE: Needed Images
You know I don't mind looking into things especially in regards to images and things!! Are you seeing these problems on a lot of pages or are there just a few?? I have noticed that (at least) the top Espada do have long-winded plots with iformation that is already in the Fight Articles, they should probably go into the Article Improvement section under text reduction and that might go some way to improving them!! In regards to the misinforming pictures,do they belong in the article and are just in the wrong place or should they be replaced with something new?? Sorry I hope you don't mind being more specific about which particular articles a lot of these problems are occurring or is it just most articles in general?? Thanks!! SunXia  (Chat)  19:57, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ah now I understand; basically there are pictures in the character galleries from Anime/Fight Summaries and yet the character articles are bare despite these pictures being existent!! I might just go through each group of characters and see who needs help and where it's needed most then make a note on the Wikia after compiled a list myself!! Thanks for being more specific!! SunXia  (Chat)  21:12, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Right right I see, but obviously a lot of his article is talking aboout something Sui-Feng and Hachi teaming up so I think his plot section needs a bit of work!! I love images in articles so I usually try to get at least one image per paragraph in plot sections so to start of I could make my own list of articles that don't have that and do something about it!! Using how I did Orihime's page as an example, that's what I like, plenty of images!! I've already noticed some that are dreadfully bare but sometimes it takes it to be pointed out!! Sure I'll into this!! Notified the Committee, obviously they'll do their best too!! SunXia  (Chat)  21:35, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Ideas
I would advise against the main page slider. They are not all that great looking and are hard to maintain. All images need to be cropped to a certain size (640x280px I believe), no more, no less and a lot of the images from older arcs are not that large, meaning they would have to be stretched in order to be placed in there. As for actual ideas, I think a portal system may work. Instead of doing traditional portals like characters, locations etc., all the portals would be locations. One for the human world, one for soul society, hueco mundo and maybe one for hell. On the portal page would have a short description of the place with a link to the main article and then a section for important areas in that location with a short description of each and a section for major residents from that location with a description. I don't know how well this would actually turn out but it is just a suggestion.--

Probably the only close one to what I describe is the Fallout wiki. They have portals for each of their games but the layout we use would of course be different.--

Extra Page
I found this today, Bount Rebellion. Was that skipped or should it just be deleted?--

Hey, Sal!

Thanks for clearing that up with me! I wasn't actually sure where that fight actually occurred, because the image on that page came from episode 168, as well as the fact that it stated that there were 30 Menos Grande; which was only in the Dangai event, whereas the one that took place in Soul Society only have 5 of the Menos, and those were dummies created by the S.R.D.I. Just confused me, is all.

Categories
Looking through the screenshot categories, we are missing many episodes. What would you say to using a bot to finish creating them all?--

I've currently been running Autowikibrowser, a semi automated bot, to help with some of the more repetitive tasks I usually do(like flagging images for deletion. Sidenote, if we ever need to move lots of pages again, I can change all instances of the old name to a new name with this.). I took a look at Pywikipediabot, a fully automated one. It runs on Python which I have never used before but I hear it is not too different than Java which I am quite familiar with. I am going to see if I can't set something up with the help of the central forums. If not, I know a few different Wikia helpers and VSTF run bots for hire. If I can't come up with something, they would help.--

A bit of an update on this: Talking with a friend over at Central, he is setting up a bot currently. He says once he gets it up and running he would be glad to help, all I need to do is feed him the format for the category pages, what episodes are missing and the names of those episodes. Does this sound alright to you?--

Two things to finish this up a bit. I got the categories taken care of. We have categories for every episode. Also, I have a fully operational bot now. It can't do things that Pywikipediabot can like create new pages or anything but it ix great for mass find and replace if we ever want to use it here. I tested it out by changing all instances of File on the site to Image. You can see what I did at Special:Contributions/Godismebot. --

Jiraichiwish - Fight Summary Project Contributor List Addition?
Hello Salubri,

I am just asking for a second opinion. Jiraichiwish recently asked me if it was possible to include his name on the contributor list on the Fight Summary Project page (citing that Godisme had his name added to that list). How would you say is his work in general? I have looked over 3 of the fight summaries that he has done (Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Hanza Nukui: Rematch, Kira's Concern, Kibune Goes to War, Battle of the Kasumiōji Assassins) and it was mostly fine (except for certain details which I had pointed out on Jiraichiwish's talk page). I know that he initially had some struggles in writing the articles.

Also, on a side note, I apologize for not failing to get a start on The New Captain & The Dangerous Transfer Student since you ended up doing the majority of the article. Thanks in advance---<font color="#3B9C9C" size="2px">Mr. N 20:08, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Ichigo vs. Zangetsu rename
Having been working on Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Zangetsu, I have seen that there is a lot more to the fight in question than just a battle between Ichigo and Zangetsu. I think it should be renamed Ichigo Kurosaki & Hollow Ichigo vs. Zangetsu & Muramasa. The reason for this being that in between Ichigo starting his fight against Zangetsu and the finish, Hollow Ichigo takes full control of Ichigo for a time as well as there is a lot of time spent in Ichigo's inner world in which he and then Hollow Ichigo face Muramasa before they return to Soul Society where Ichigo finished Zangetsu. Let me know your thoughts on this--

Alright, I have gone ahead and made the move as well as changing all links to the page. If you could just change the link on the Zanpakutō Rebellion page that will finish it up.--

Arrival in Karakura Town
Hello, I was checking on the work I left behind before I went inactive and I was supposed to check on the Arrival in Karakura Town article, since it seems to have a couple of problems. I checked the message you left to Weedefinition, who originally put the article together, about it, and I'm a bit confused.

Re:Fight Edits
Hey, Sal!

What exactly do you mean? Most of the info I placed in that event summary was correct, and besides, I had to make that page from scratch. Also, there was no end point defined in the summary, so I wasn't sure when to end it. So next time, could you make sure that you tell me the beginning and end points of the summary? And besides, why do you have to highlight what I do wrong, when it is perfectly referenced? It is not my fault that this occurred.

Thanks,

Fine then. If there is no point in doing them, then don't expect me to edit on this site again. Do you even find me "capable" of doing a Fight Summary, to use your own words, Salubri? Because this makes me doubtful that you ever trusted we with handling a fight. 06:01, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Gotei 13 Invading Army arc Fight Summaries
Hey, Sal!

Can I suggest a title for the currently airing Invading Army arc in the Fight Summary Project? I know it is a long ways away from being started on the FSP, but I just wanted to hear your thoughts on my title for the Event Summary. I think it is appropriate to be called the Reigai Revolution, because what Inaba is doing, is basically like overthrowing the "government" of the Soul Society. Let me hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

07:03, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

If you didn't get my earlier message, I just thought I would reiterate. Can I ask whether "Reigai Revolution" would be a suitable title for the Gotei 13 Invading Army arc when it comes too the Fight Summary Project. My reason is stated in my earlier post. If you have time on your hands, I would like to hear your thoughts on this title.

Thanks,

 * If I may point out something. Revolution means a successful overthrow of an in place system. Obviously the Reigai will not be successful. The correct term then would be uprising.--

Is it true that the admins on this site (you included) cannot override an IP block from a VSTF, because User:Charitwo blocked me for this very reason.

Been trying to think of a solution to this problem other than badgering inactive members!!

Anyway, I added another comment afterward that I felt was rude in a topic called "Archival Research", so I deleted it as to mind my manners. However, Godisme has reinserted the comment three times now despite my edit summary, (I was the only contributor to the new topic and decided I didn't want to bring it up, please do not add the unwanted, 1-comment topic back it as it is irrelevant to Gin). He did so without edit summaries, and even using rollback, which wikia rules state should only be used to revert vandalism.

Transparent Bleach Logo


Hey Salubri. FOMA here again.

This time, I uploaded a duplicate of the existing Bleach logo, only now, I've made it transparent. I'd overwrite the original file with it by myself, but the JPG image format does not support transparency, so I'm forced to upload it as a PNG file. Consequently, that also means I won't be able to replace the non-transparent logo anywhere because all the pages that use the logo are locked for admins to edit only. If you like the new transparent logo, could you or any other admin please replace all the links from all the pages that lead to Image:Bleach-Logo1.jpg for Image:Bleach-Logo1.png? Thanks.

It would also provide a place for instant messaging between users instead of the back and forth talk page messages that we often do here.--

Needs Help
Hey, Sal!

Is there a reason that a number of my fight summaries are still listed as "Needing Help"? Namely, Izuru Kira vs. Kazeshini, Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Muramasa, Coup of the Kasumiōji and many others. Is there a reason for this, or did you just forget to unlabel them?

Thanks,

Sorry to bother you, but I found some more that haven't been labelled properly. Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Byakuya Kuchiki, Senbonzakura & Zabimaru Trapped as well as Rukia Kuchiki vs. Reigai-Rukia Kuchiki & Reigai-Nemu Kurotsuchi, the last of which I see you didn't check if it was complete or not, you just put it into the complete section without changing it.

Re:Translations
Ju-Ni get their own raws (very, very high quality from what I can remember). They only seem to have one guy translating (BadKarma) & their site says that he is on holiday so that wont hurry things up much in the short term, which is what we need right now. 10:37, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

So Sorry
I have kind of dropped off the radar lately, barely even qualifying as a lurker. It just takes me a while to do stuff, esp. when it's in such a volume as, like here, a bunch of new data book stuff (most of which is written in long phrases of Japanese without reading-guide furigana... elements which thwart my simpler understanding. I do best with words and simple (e.g. single clause) phrases, not long passages... hence my qualifying things as "I think..." etc.

Ditto stuff from the non-canon parts of the anime; my browser regularly sucks with Flash, and until a while ago it took forever to download video files most of the time. Even now, it kind of bogs down real easy. And because Kubo is generally so sparing in his "official" romanizations of his wacky Arrancar names, but esp. of their origins, this all combines to be difficult.

I was sick for a while recently, and have been dealing with demanding, immutable hours of activity. I look forward to what should be a soon, pending return to some kind of vacation time within which to recuperate and get my head back together, as well as have real time for some of the things I've been made to neglect.

As always, any of my addled efforts is expedited when the asker can provide a good link to the (raw) page or material in question; I see many have been good about putting up pics from UNMASKED :).

In the interest of time and, likely, greater accuracy than I could provide, however, I would follow Reikson et al.'s example and check those Livejournal links and other data, such as pages like http://bleachasylum.com/threads/18464-BLEACH-Official-Fan-Book-3-UNMASKED-v2, to help.

I don't really use software, but language books, Wiktionary to check readings and as a starting place (since it usu. has the Chinese meaning of Kanji, which may differ from the Japanese), and lots of similar cross-referencing with sites like http://www.df.lth.se/cgi-bin/j-e/dict|this.

Shunsui's Investigation & Nozomi's Escape
Hey, Sal!

I just wanted to ask whether Shunsui's Investigation & Nozomi's escape is done correctly, as I am not entirely sure of where it ends. If you could check before I label it as needing completion, then I would be much obliged. Also, should the e in escape be capitalised, to make it in line with Investigation?

Hey, worry for taking so long to get back to you. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Anyway, I just checked Komamura's page and there is already a gif of him bringing out his Shikai.

"Housekeeping" bullcrap... why is this topic so hunted by "admistrators" (are you one, i'm not sure)

Is it because it wasn't well made or something?

About the main page, I really like it, but there seems to be a problem with the text under the Yamamoto vs. Reigai fight. It says "Yamamoto takes on the..." and I assume the next word was going to be "Reigai".

Re: Congratulations!!!
Thanks for the congratulations and I will be sure to use it properly and help further the wiki to the best of my ability.

Manga images
Hello Salubri, I would like to discuss with an administrator about the use of manga images. I had brought up the issue in the forum and have subsequently engaged in conversation with User:Godisme (see talk pages: User talk:Godisme, User talk:Tea time) about recent images I have tried to upload. I have uploaded these images to either include them in their character articles or else so that there may be a vote on them by the community in the Image Gallery to determine if the images may be changed. As for Godisme's dislike of the gutters, if they are not acceptable, then I would like to upload a newer version of them with the gutters cropped (although I'm not quite sure how to do this. I'm a bit confused by what I read in the image policy guidelines about reuploading images). Please let me know if it is appropriate to be uploading such images as the three I have uploaded recently. I would like to contribute positively to this wiki. (Notice: I will be busy over the next few days, and may not be able to return any messages promptly.) Thank you for your time. --Tea time (talk) 06:42, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Images
As always, I will get them done as soon as possible!! I will look in the image galleries too, I know a lot of good images were uploaded there and totally disregarded in favor of sub-par near clones!! SunXia  (Chat)  19:54, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Return to Activity
Hey, Salubri I am just informing you that I have returned back to the U.S. and am able to be back on Bleach Wikia. I have taken a look at the New Guidelines and Regulations and mostly have no problem with the basic outline of it. I definitely appreciate the removal of the Taichō and Fukutaichō for 1st and 2nd Seat positions that correspond to the most active and involved users. You mentioned that the Associate Groups will have some restructuring; has there been any restructuring for the Fight Summary Project? I just wanted to make a quick check with you since there does not appear to be anything on the Fight Summary Project Discussion page. -<font color="#3B9C9C" size="2px">Mr. N 02:28, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Committee Discussion
Recently, IamJakuhoRaikoben, SunXia and I had a conversation in chat about many matters. I wanted to run by some of this with you and the other admins. Firstly, as you know, Jirachiwish is becoming a bit problematic, while he does a lot of work, he spams edits as I know you are aware of and he also uploads images that are a mere second away from images we already have, forcing SunXia to replace most of his images on his articles. He has also lashed out at SunXia twice and myself once. Considering his history as a vandal, we feel he needs to be put on very thin ice at this point and close watch.

Relating to our two inactive members, Lia and Devil, the three of us agreed that they should be removed immediately from the committee since they are not doing anything and therefore do not need to be on the committee. Should they return and start doing work again, they can always be re-added. With that, we also discussed the committee projects. We have 4 active members and 4 projects, two of which are already looked over by a committee, those being the image project with SunXia and Fight Summaries with both you and Mr. N looking over them. Jakuho said he felt comfortable with the anime summary project and considering he does summaries over at Fairy Tail Wiki as well, I think he should take over for Devil with that project. With Mohrpheus gone, I figured I would take over the Article Improvement Project. So any objections to any of that?--

RE: Images
Almost afraid to request deletion of other user's images, last time started doing that somebody started crying about their edit count!! But you're right, I've done my best to advise otherwise so needless images will be pruned from now on!! The images on the last two summaries are all over the place!! I feel I may have to a bunch of new images and do some text reduction on the Sui-Feng Komamura fight as those two images of them on the ground doing nothing is surrounded by text of them basically doing nothing!! SunXia  (Chat)  16:54, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure I will continue to do so!! I've identified The Gotei 13 vs. Kageroza Inaba & The Reigai as well so I don't mind fishing around for articles that need reduced and reworded!!

I'll need to do a major rework of it so I've put it in the Article Improvement section and getting to it as soon as sit down!! I feel awful for saying this but I actually think I may need to go over all the fights done by the same member because whenever I go to them assuming they're correct they ust don't look right and the images look worse!! SunXia  (Chat)  15:37, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Out of the four you originally asked me to look at, I've fixed three, the last one needs reworking and overhauled!! Too much "they sat and talked" going on in it!! SunXia  (Chat)  16:02, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

I know what you mean, I've been going through older events and episode summaries as I was working on Uryū's article and found some with such a lack of images!! Think we may need to set up several sections in the project for both Anime and Fight Summary articles to be honest to be more organised with it!! Also, Godisme has asked me to look into possibly getting some GIFs, something I've never done before and will take me a while as I am looking into that now!! If I can't do it then I can't do it but will try as well since Tinni unfortunately is not around!! SunXia  (Chat)  12:15, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Theft Issue
Alright, I have sent a message to staff asking for an intervention.--

Im afraid the issue has yet to stop. Look familiar?. Wikia claims that this is allowed because he is just "internationalizing" the Bleach Wiki into polish. I sent a reply back saying that it is hardly internationalization and just blatant theft considering most of his wiki is just in english. We'll see what they have to say but I doubt they will do anything on this.--

Sorry about that, but you are the only wiki with Bleach, which looks very beautiful. I did not know that this is so bad. I am therefore very sorry. 02:39, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Not only has he been told, by Wikia Staff, to stay away, he continues to message me!! I am not the only one who has advised him to do things differently, he has steadfastly refused to acknowledge any message left to him by any other member of the team and continues to single me out over and over!! He has not acknowledged any messages left by yourself or Yyp and yet thinks it's alright to continue to deliberately berate me over and over!! The atmosphere he is creating is counter productive and he's refusing to step away from this situation as advised to do so by Sannse!! Every since he joined he has undermined me at every turn, attacked me whenever I corrected his many mistakes and complained whenever I had to delete images because of his edit count!! I've had it with him, it's like drawing blood from a stone and I don't feel messaging him is going to change anything since he ignores what you have told him anyway!!

Fullbringers' Infoboxes
I've been noticing this for awhile now, but only remembered this now. Similar to how we have "Shikai" and "Bankai" for Shinigami characters' infoboxes, and "Resurrección" for Arrancar characters' infoboxes, I think we should have a "Fullbring" section for the Fullbringers' infoboxes (and Ichigo). So far, we only have "Signature Skill" and while there aren't as many Fullbringers as there are of the other species, it's still notable. Even the Bounts have a "Doll" section on their infoboxes, so I believe this would benefit. I'm not sure how to add this myself and make it show up for those who have Fullbrings, which is why I came to you for this. Let me know what you think. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  19:34, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Adam didn't do these in the order they appear in the book so edit conflicts are likely to come up. Hop on chat so we can sort out an edit conflict way of doing this.--


 * Sorry if this seems like a dumb cuestión, but I don't have access to a full version of the raw book yet. I was busy like hell for a long stretch, and even with a decent (if admittedly incomplete) wading thru of various usu. sites and forums, I've only obtained bits and pieces. And I haven't yet had time to scour hundreds of pages of posts in some of these looking for the one magic post that might have a link to the full. If someone could help me out, I'd appreciate it. :)


 * Despite not doing things in the "book order" cited by Godisme above (for the reasons *I* cited above), I did try and do the techniques work I've posted so far in the order of the scanned pages, though in Japanese right-to-left, up-to-down format, that have been posted as pics on the Translation Corner.


 * Hopefully, with this reiterated (e.g. pic name "Techniques 1" there corresponds to my post name "Techniques 1" here) will help un-boggle some minds and make supplementation/revision easier. :)

Chat issue

Very well. I will refrain from doing so then. SereneDreams (talk) 00:18, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Urahara
Well, keep in mind that a lot of these techniques are naming techniques whose names have not been previously revealed. So that means that Kyuujuurokkei Kakafuumetsu shouldn't be some last-dash renaming of Senjuu Kouten Taihou.

I don't directly remember the "scene-of-use" pic the technique's entry provides on the page, but it seems (from the description) that this is the uber-sealing technique that Urahara uses (or that finally activates once the Hougyoku abandons Aizen) that was finally used to seal away Aizen... another Urahara-custom Kidou or something.

My best translation of what's on the page (for Keikaigi):

"Keikaigi Space tying the Manifest World (= the living/material world) and Hueco Mundo, a Garganta-producing technique. Requires a long recited incantation."

Harribel
My best translation of what's on the page:

"Trident A technique loosed by the Resurrección'd Harribel. Fires a high-force, mist-form Zanpakutou in 3 series. It's also atrocious to the slashed target's body..."

The scene is of the opening strike that slashes-up Hitsugaya('s "ice clone").

It seems that some mysterious person has been supplementing my posts in the UNMASKED Talk with descriptions of what each technique is. I'm uncertain as to the veracity of all of these ascriptions, but they could be of great help as a guide or, at least, a starting-point. Further research of the pics used for "scenes-demonstrating-use" for each technique could also be elucidating... though I hope I'm not the one waited on to do THAT, too.

Feedback on Images
Hello, Salubri.

If you are not too busy, I would appreciate your feedback on a little question I have; it is in regards to the images for Tōshirō Hitsugaya & Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Kageroza Inaba. I cannot quite decide on what image to use for the infobox image, as there appears to be very few suitable images with all 3 combatants in it. I was thinking of using a picture made with 2 screenshots as the infobox image. I know that there is one image with all 3 characters in it, but I am not sure if it would be better in the Prologue section or not (since that image fits into what is described in the Prologue). If you can send your feedback (or suggest alternate options), it would help a lot. Thank you. -<font color="#3B9C9C" size="2px">Mr. N 15:46, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, JapaneseOPfan said that she wanted to join the Translation Corner, and Godisme informed me that it worked like the Fight Summary Project so you had to have permission to join, so i'm asking if it would be okay if she did?

Nozomi Kujo's Zanpakutou's Command
Hey Salubri,

For the article of Nozomi Kujo, the Shikai command is "降りしきれ" (furishikire in English). If you want proof, it is in Episode 332, Ishida talked about Nozomi's Zanpakutou.

Thanks,

Mbnbv

Re: Translator
Gotcha, should I place all the info that was previously translated there, or just have the future translations placed there? Well, I asked her to do Ulquiorra's story and Harribel's story, and she's given me those, so if there are more things to be done she can move on to those.

Yes, she's available for translations. Just provide her the scans of what in particular needs translating. She said she just got a job so her free time is going to be cut a bit, but she's still available.

Okay i'll ask her to handle those, do you want her to stop her translations on the Harribel thing? She got all the important information from the translation and gave it to me, but I think she was trying to give a page by page translation for accuracy and I don't know if that's necessary or not. If it isn't then I can ask her to stop working on that and just focus on the new ones you just provided.

Ok, thanks.

Yeah, I'll go through them. I've actually cleared out a fair bit of that stuff over the past months, but only bit by bit.

Project Idea
Godisme redirected me here to you to discuss an idea I want to bring to your attention. Recently, in my attempts to become more active on this wiki, it has come to my attention that the Fight Summary Project also handles non-fight events, such as Fullbring Training, and other similar events.

My proposition is to start up an "Event Summary Project", which I would gladly volunteer to head (as the project's brainchild). We could then separate the non-fight events from the fights, that way users could pick which project they feel more comfortable with editing, or just overall like to edit.

It'd also take a load off of your own shoulders, since you head up the Fight Summary Project.

Now, I'm aware that you may not be too keen to do that, considering the way the pages are set up are very similar to a Fight's page, however, I believe it would be a beneficial addition to the wiki. If you think it would too, would you mind bringing it up to whoever else needs to know and consider it? Again, I am willing to head the project and take responsibility for its workings, plus I think this is the way I could best contribute to the wiki.

While I love adding in new abilities, I'm not too fond or re-watching old episodes to update character plots, and such. I will, however, watch old episodes to see memorable events or fights, and I do that often, so working on those articles might be the best way for me to get involved, and I think it would be largely beneficial to the wiki overall.

Re:Fight Article?
No, I was on central for most of the day so I didn't see that. I only checked in here a few times. Though in good news I got 10x Kamehameha to back off and leave this wiki alone.--

Will do. With 10x, I saw he said something about he would do anything Wikia Central tells him to do. I pointed out to him I was an admin and told him to back off and return to his wiki. He agreed then.--

Re:Fight Name
How about something simple like Return To The Past or The Return To The Past? I know it is a little different than how most of the arcs are named but it fits. I'll think it over for a day and see if I could think up something a little more poetic like they used in that arc with turn back the pendulum and let stop the pendulum.--

Ichigo's Shinigami powers returning
With the recent chapters, I'd say we can finally switch Ichigo's Zanpakutō back to his "Current Powers & Abilities" section. I was going to offer to do it, but I wanted to ask your advice first. Should I just flip the Zanpakutō back into the Current Abilities section, and then add and reference the information as to its appearance change? <font color="#008080" face="Verdana">Ten Tailed Fox  <font color="#FF0000" face="Verdana"> (Talk with me) 16:00, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Alright sorry

your cool and l love anime and manga l am single

Hello there ! i am interested helping out in translation English to Greek but i want some help and tips cab you suggest me a ling with rules or have a chat with me to answer some questions of mine ! Thanks in advance :D

Ok here's the question i dont know how to start translate. Do i have to create a new page or can i translate the pages that already exist ???

Sorry for the misunderstanding but do i have to make a new page with my pics and code or do i have to translate only in your code ! The copyright is your of course ...

Before you guys do a background check...
Just so you know, The Shining Star is my younger brother who loves Bleach just as much as I do. I mention this because he and I are going to collaboratively do small projects together on Bleach Wiki; he's better at mass editting while I'm better at making small corrections to make it seem better. We're already doing Yuichi's article together, and I just wanted to clear that up before it created a mess of things. Hope it won't be too bothersome. <font color="grass" size="2px">Aeron Solo wuz here <font color="gold" size="1px">(If you wanna talk)  02:19, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

She's still working on them. She sent me a message and it said...

". . . Here in iceland, I get limited internet access (30min/day or so) and in that short time I also have to check my email and so on, so I haven't made much progress. I am returning to my home tomorrow so please wait a bit longer. . . Right now I am working on the Harribel stuff and I'll do the Lilynette/Starrk/Barraggan stuff later since I was too busy to do anything before my flight. I'll just tell you that all those pages say are birthdays, moves, zanpakuto names, and all those things we know. Anyway, my deepest apologies for the extreme delay"

Here is the link to her sandbox where she has the Harribel stuff. That's the last update I received.

Okay, i'll be sure to tell her that and no problem.

Kokuto
The Shining Star and I were working on Hell Chapter today, and much to our displeasure there was no Kokuto page, making linking it impossible. About a minute or so before the time I wrote this message, I tried to create a page for Kokuto, but I couldn't, and somehow remembered way back when that the admins locked the creation of pages with Kokuto's name.

Re:Pronunciations
I don't really think so. First of all, we would have to do it similarly to a dictionary, but that's not my main concern. My main concern is how tidious it would be, as we would not only be hitting virtually every article, but also every technique, in which case, not every technique has its own page. I see it consuming more time than anything else. Aside from that, I think if people are having problems pronouncing it, it could either be brought up on Answers or we can answer the questions personally if anyone asked them. I don't think the issue is big enough for it to matter though; not many users who visit the site express any concerns as to how to pronounce the name (with the exceptions of people who try to revert an Arrancar's name to a previous spelling). <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  22:45, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Grimmjow Issue
I really wish we could wrap this up one way or the other, but I cant see anything that would confirm it in Unmasked. We've known about chapter 379 for some time and decided back then that it didn't confirm it either way. I looked over the chapter again and I think it is too ambiguous and feel uneasy about drawing a conclusion from it. It says "the ones who died" but that can just be two out of the three mentioned. That is not conclusive imo, but given the subtleties of Japanese and potential translation issues, maybe it might be worth asking Adam to check if the way it is written could be interpreted as all three of them. But even so, I suspect if he does think that, he will say it is too open to interpretation and cannot be used as confirmation. I agree that it is unlikely we will ever get direct confirmation (sadly), but imo we should leave it as unconfirmed/unknown. (sorry for the delay in replying, I havent had a chance to have another look over the translation of unmasked until now) 18:57, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * The reason all three names are said is because he is quoting what Yammy said to him, then going into his own analysis of it. I am not biased in this and I would not let a character's popularity affect such a decision. Personally I do not care one way or the other if Grimmjow is dead. He was a good character who served his purpose, I do not expect him to ever return and I do not miss him. The story has moved on and it is probably for the best that he doesn't come back. So I do think that he is dead, but the evidence to back it up is too tenuous currently, imo, to be saying that in the article. 19:23, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Grimmjow issue
I think I've found the pertinent passage. Ichigo thinks to himself, "... It's a strange feeling. Even though the dead are their comrades." Then he speaks to Yammy something like: "I wasn't expecting some kind of honest sense of comrades from you [Arrancar]".

Ichigo uses the word shindano, combining the past tense shinda ("died; dead") with the genitive particle no, which is sometimes used this way to form verbal/adjectival nouns (compare ookiino "big one" < ookii "big"). Now, Ichigo has had a LOT of experience with Arrancar not giving a damn when fellow Arrancar are slain, so there's no clear indication that he believes the three Yammy was just gloating about are all dead (though he knows firsthand Nnoitra and Ulquiorra are). Unfortunately, we still don't know if Grimmjow is truly dead or not. After all, after Harribel went down, loads of people were sure she was dead... and her Fracción, they were even surer were dead; all survived.

I'll see if any of the UNMASKED pages I've access to have anything else on Grimmjow's fate, and apparently no one in fandom knows for sure yet, UNMASKED or no. Adam Restling (talk) 04:17, September 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I can't confirm either way. Characters' ability to sense one another's reiatsu seems to appear and disappear depending upon which is more dramatic/convenient for the plot (e.g., Ulquiorra has to point out that Rukia's is waning, I think, to Ichigo; being in a different section of Karakura makes Ikkaku's Bankai imperceptible to Hitsugayatachi?), so I don't know what the valence is of Harribel not sensing him. Sure, he was wounded pretty bad, but was spared by Ichigo, and was still alive enough to talk back to Nnoitra before Ichigo defended him.


 * He could be dead, or he could be alive; when we last saw him, though, he was basically a beat-up Nel... more likely to fade away due to author neglect than real death. Ichigo himself doesn't speak of Grimmjow or his fate directly either way in this passage. Sorry I can't say for sure he's dead and quell the flames of debate :), but I will still try to see if any of his pages in UNMASKED that people have posted elsewhere say anything more (which I can decipher). Adam Restling (talk) 07:15, September 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was rereading the chapters, and here's what I found. Ichigo says "even though it's this guy who's had all his comrades killed" I believe that includes Grimmjow as well. Cnet is a reliable translator.Blackjohn (talk) 20:29, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

This item is significant enough in importance, that, like the Substitute Badges, they should be mentioned in equipment from my point of view.

New Feature
I found the solution to our redirects problem. Wikia is beta testing a new feature called Search Digest. What it does is it logs searches and reports what people are searching for that does not lead to a page and shows how many times it is being searched for by different people. With this, we need only look at that page to see what redirects actually need to be made. I have had it enabled here and it is already showing a few misspellings among other things that we could make redirects for. Check it out Special:SearchDigest. Also, keep word of it to a minimal as having seen it on the other 4 wikis that it is enabled on, if you tell a lot of people, the results get bogged down by people just trying to get things to show up on the page.--

What do you want to set as the number of searches to warrant a redirect? I saw arc had 9 searches of it so I went ahead and made a redirect for that. I am thinking 6+ would probably warrant a redirect. What do you say?--

Weird Glitches??, Like really weird 0_o
Hey man, Im going to try and make this as easy to understand as I can. Anyway, I was looking on Yushimas page, and I notcied several things were missing from his page, like 3 separate pictures, and some information from his history(but not his synopsis). Well, I looked at his history, but couldn't find my last edit(since one of the pictures missing was the one I added). Well I was literally leaving You a msg since the last edit to his page was by u. I clicked to see what u changed(thought maybe u changed somethings) and after looking I went back and saw my edit(3rd one down). So I decided to look back at Yushimas page and all of his content was restored.

Now what really throws me about this is at first I thought there was a weird glitch which didn't show the most recent changes to his page, like from the last few days or something. However, ur edit to Lord of Hunger's was after mine, and it was there, so that means that wasn't the case. I don't know man. A few days ago while I was trying to edit, I got a gateway error notification, complete with "Please restart your browser to solve this problem". Does that happen to u, or is it just my good fortune?(cause its happened to me before, and only on Wikia)

Also my browsers won't remember my Username and password(for quick sign in), no matter what I do. However, they will remember if I'm lucky and I'll explain what i'm rambling about.

When I come her, I click login at the top rite(duh). Now most of the time it just brings up the login page over the homepage, which is about half the size of the browser(which I keep Fullscreen size). If this happens I have to manually type my name and password(Both Firefox and Chrome WILL-NOT remember). However on VERY rare occasions it actually redirects from the home page and brings up the login page fullscreen, and when this happens my username and password appear in the boxes, so they r remembering, but their... not... remembering???. This is completely randomized and like I said its very rare that this happens. uhh, my head hurts....

I'm just curious about all of this, am I the only person this happens to? Minato (Talk)  12:19, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Unmasked
For the extra tidbits re: the UNMASKED techniques, I think it mostly just describes things like what they do, i.e. a reiterating of what we saw them do in the manga--and so maybe analogous to the descriptions of them that prob. already appear on their individual pages; e.g. Hierro Virgen I think just says something like "spike-like projections extend from the ends of each of Luppi's tendrils etc. etc.". If you still think they warrant more examination, I could try; but I'd prob. just try and glean what I could from the descriptions, rather than risk a (possibly faulty because of my mistakes) full-on "translation".

As for translation of the voluminous written passages that are left over (many of which I'm not privy too, as I haven't my own copy of UNMASKED, nor know anyone who does), consult my explanation to Bereisgreat here for why that level of endeavor is still prob. beyond my scope: I'm best with isolated words, names, etc., and then also as an editor maybe of others' more lengthy translations (when I'm able to help at all).

Best to consult with more prolific translators of the texts, like Lumi etc. on Livejournal (whom Reikson provided the links for in one of the archived posts on the Translation Corner, I believe, and which I quote in my preface to the "Techniques 1" post I link to above), and then ask me about any questions about those (which I will try and help with). A general "can you look at it all?" is still pretty daunting for the above-cited reasons :). Sorry about this. Adam Restling (talk) 10:06, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Userboxes
Hi, I was just looking around this wiki and noticed that you don't seem to have your own Userbox Templates that can allow you to make any Userbox. I was just wondering if you did in fact want this, as I know how to set up the pages/templates for it and have experience in making Userboxes (I've done it on several other wikis). Just in case you don't know what I'm talking about, by Userbox I mean things like This and This, those two are ones that I made on other wikis, yet on here, your Userboxes seem to come from somewhere else, and so, custom ones can't be made.

My offer is, that I can set up all the necessary coding, templates, pages and even make several Userboxes and put them in a gallery with the code needed to be placed onto a Profile. I just wanted to know if I was permitted to it.

Jp vs. Eng Statistics
I actually wanted to discuss this with you on Chat, but since I'm not 100% sure it works or not, I will point out to you that the Japanese release does list Kenpachi's height as 202 cm. It's not that I don't believe you on Viz's release of Bootleg; I actually believe you on that. It's just that it seems Viz does not calculate based on the nearest half-inch. We have both listed in the first place because some parts of the world use the metric system, while some use the imperial system. Since the Japanese releases use the metric system and obviously come before Viz's releases, I've been working on the conversions from the Japanese releases, since at the time they were done, the Bootleg was only released in Japan. I feel we should still probably work based on this, but if you truly feel this will become a problem in the future, especially with the release of future English releases of MASKED and UNMASKED (and any other character books that'll be released by Kubo), then you, Yyp, and I should probably discuss this. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  06:07, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Ulquiorra and Zanpakutō pages are (currently) fine, whereas Harribel, Byakuya Kuchiki and Quincy Bow & Spirit Arrows are messed up. The translation template has not been altered at all and I cant see anything in recent changes that might have affected it. I've reported it to Wikia as the problem doesn't seem to be on our end.

Ichigo vs. Yushima
Hey, I have some time this weekend due to the holiday break and so was going to tackle some more stuff around here. Bear with me as I have not done a Fight Summary in a while and so need a little help with getting started on Ichigo vs. Yushima. There are a few unique phases to this battle. Hollow Ichigo taking over with Ichigo then rampaging through the streets. Yushima confronting Hollow Ichigo, Rukia and everyone coming to Ichigo's aid and then finally just Ichigo facing off against Yushima. So my question is what should be a part of the prelude and what should be a part of the actual battle?--

I wanted to ask a quick question regarding the prologue of the Gotei 13 vs. The Reigai article.

Re: Text Reduction Issue
I've had a quick look at Byakuya's page and shortened it up a bit. There were some fairly pointless things written there that I've taken out. Will go through it again later when I have more time. I think a lot of the personality sections (and relationship sections) were written years ago when the site had looser standards and waffle/fanboi a lot. They need cleaning up. But, yeah the plot sections are an issue in many cases. I don't mind them being long, its just that a lot of them are unnecessarily long. We need to get people to be much more concise with the new info that is being added, no blow by blow accounts - you're dead right about that, that stuff is for the fight summaries. I've had to shorten a lot of info from new chapters/episodes and even attracted some criticism for doing so from one user! I don't think a set limit for arc length will work so well, it would be better to take a more case by case basis imo, and three paragraphs seems a bit extreme to me.

I think for the month of December, I'll give myself over to working on text reduction, starting with the top 5 on Special:LongPages, then go back to normal editing in the new year. I've been plugging away at shortening Ichigo's page recently (since its the biggest problem from a length perspective) and have knocked about 15,000 bytes off of it, but that's still a tiny fraction of the whole page. Ichigo's personality section is my next target there and the quotes might need to be prioritised, cutting out the less important ones as there's so many of them. Then I'll dive back in to the plot section. I haven't claimed it on the Article Improvement Project as I want to leave it open for anyone else that wants to help (think that's being a bit optimistic at this stage!). But I will keep at it. 13:42, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, so this is a little bit difficult!! Image-wise, there isn't really a good still of her in her Fullbring release!! There may be one next week!!

Hi, I am trying to post images to use In the episode summary for episode 351, why do you keep deleting them? I'm not violating any policies.

Sorry, I'm sort of new to wikia and I didn't notice I was violating those terms. I am trying to upload the image correctly, but it gives e an error messasge like this one: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Fair_use when I choose TV screenshot for licensing. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I can fix it.

Shared images
Hi! I'm bureaucrat on Polish Bleach Wiki. Would you like to have the option of "shared images" between wikis? This option allows you to use both of their resources on the wiki images. Sorry for mistakes. —<font color="#FF6EC7">Ponurak <font color="#FF6EC7">(zapytaj) 08:53, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Shakkahō
Hello. I noticed that you reverted my edit to the Shakkaho page and I was wondering why you did. I was told to come here and speak to you about it. Littlmiget123 (talk) 01:41, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't really know what you're talking about. If you mean about my switching Matsuri's data, then I was only doing that because every other page has the video game characters before the reigai saga characters. And I figured it was only logical to do it to Shakkaho. Also, by reverting my edit, you also got rid of my addition of Maki Ichinose, instead of just partially undoing the edit. I don't mind the video game edit; I don't even play the 3rd Phantom.. XD
 * Maki Ichinose was actually the whole point of my edit. I'm not blaming you, lol. The video game characters were already on there, so I switched them around. If you would like, I can go around and get rid of all the video game characters on each of the Kido pages? Littlmiget123 (talk) 02:51, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Kido
Then you need to talk to Yyp as he is doing the opposite of you, reverting any removal of video game characters. I told him what you said but he is not in agreement.-- God (pray)

If this is going to turn into a problem, then you, Yyp, and I have to have a discussion. Like Yyp, I also agreed game characters were allowed, since their existence is only in the games, but if it'll indeed become a problem, then the three of us need to work something out. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  19:50, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Well, the individual video game characters' pages will not have an "Other Media" section, since, as I pointed out, they do not appear in the manga, anime, or the movies. We have a couple of alternatives:
 * We can go against the norm of most Kido users and have each individual Kido technique listed on the characters' Kido section.
 * We can add an "Appearances in Other Media" list onto the individual technique pages, rather than listing them with anime & manga canon characters. This may indicate we need to add techniques manga & anime characters use in the games as well.
 * We can add an a list of techniques used by video game characters onto the Other Media section of the main Kido page.

Those are the suggestions I can come up with if we need to separate this away from manga & anime characters on the Kido pages. Go ahead and give me your input, and we can wait for Yyp to give his as well. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  20:21, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Kido articles
"We can add an "Appearances in Other Media" list onto the individual technique pages, rather than listing them with anime & manga canon characters" - Arrancar109

This seems like the best solution to me. It addresses the concern of not being canon and keeping canon/non-canon separate, but keeps the info there. (PS sorry for disappearing so abruptly for a couple of days. That was bad timing, but I'm back now). 14:12, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Block
I think it is time for Tjakari to go. He obviously has no interest in contributing and only wants to troll and/or insult the wiki. Take a look at his latest blog.--


 * Just thought I'd say something about this silly warring thing that has been going on, one-sided of course!! Dopp contacted the Admins of DB Wiki about the trolling users, the Bureaucrat being 10X Kamehaha(SP??) who responded quite nastily but whatever, he told her that those people can't be banned for something they are doing outside of DB and that users that were involved and are regular users apparently apologized (must have been an invisible apology) so they consider the matter closed!! However, upon observation, he does seem to be taking tighter measures on Trolling at that Wiki so hopefully this will mean a change of attitude!! Personally, I don't like how they address each other there and rude people are only banned for a week at a time but their wiki, their rules, just feels like it's hardly a punishment!! He also said that the deletion of our main character's page was a minor issue and that we should be prepared with more staff on hand!! The issue isn't being our rollback, we don't care about that, but the point is we shouldn't have to deal with that level of vandalism from the same source and that Dopp was merely asking that the attitude towards our Wiki be toned down since it's beyond the realms of pathetic now, however, he got all defensive and started stating the obvious about his powers and missed the point about influencing the attitudes there but yeah, hardly surprising!! Hopefully, now that they are finally cracking down, this sort of tripe will stop!! Just a few observations I made!! SunXia   (Chat)  21:34, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

A Real & New(ish) Solution to Tenken stuff
To emphasize: I don't mean to stir up anything long thought settled, but Godisme suggested you'd be the one to talk to about this, and with there seeming to be a fine and true solution to the "issue" at last--one which I think would be best, too--I wanted to run it by you, with my reasoning, and get your feedback.

The crux of the solution and reasoning is discussed--with embedded text links of further supporting data--here; for some of the response Godisme makes on my page, see here.

The most recent raising of this issue can be seen (if somehow it was missed) here; it gets lengthy and may tire you out, tho (XD), so use caution. But as I said, I don't meant to revive a tedious issue, but to offer the new solution linked to and delineated above. In summation: when terms have culturo-mythic references (such as Myōō referring to a vidyaraja, or Enma to Yama), I use these referred-to names, even in my English translation. But I would also like to link to these referents via their text, even as we already do with, say, linking "Spiranthes" for elucidation to its Wiki page in the Nejibana translation. Thus, the translation would not be altered, but would also immediately link to its references for better understanding of its meaning. In the "Karin + Yuzu" topic of Sunrider84's archive, Yyp likewise mentions this practice already in use for non-familiar, untranslated/specialized-use Japanese words.

I hope you agree with this, as I think it would prove the neatest and least-obtrusive solution. Please let me know :). Adam Restling (talk) 01:40, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback. I find myself usually compelled by people's questions, at least until I've given it a good shot.


 * But I hadn't meant to insinuate I was driven against reason to accede to an unreasonable demand, although neither was I trying to make more work and possible heartache for you guys.


 * The proposal Xcetron now puts forth is, as he(?) says on his(?) page, was originally mine: to keep the translations, e.g. Kokujō Tengen Myōō "vidyaraja of Kalasutra's heavenly punishment", but to merely embed the direct links to its referents in the translation, hence this case would become > "vidyaraja of Kalasutra's heavenly punishment"; the translation abides, but is instantly searchable without need for additional clunkiness therein. This is why I cited cases on other Wikis where we already do this, such as the Nejibana/Spiranthes linkage.


 * I'm fond of doing this in my posts everywhere for better understanding, esp. if they're obscure(r) references, so that any users can easily click the links I so-embed and get an enriched sense of my intentions with the greatest of ease. That's why it's what I myself would recommend: a tidy, easy solution which makes exploring the greater nuances a snap with minimal effort on the part of all :).


 * But to reiterate: though I would suggest this be the best solution, and hope you'll implement it, I do so not to cater but because I like the idea, and use it regularly myself. And also, I'd hope that you and the other mods/admins would approve this approach... that is, if it doesn't seem too unreasonable. Please let me know, and sorry for any tedium and mental exhaustion I've caused with my ramblings XD. Adam Restling (talk) 23:28, December 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, although, as always, I'll leave the actual changing/editing/etc. to the experts and authorities, as every time I try to do such myself, I end up crashing the Internet or something XD. And, of course, it pends their approval, as well. Adam Restling (talk) 04:25, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Hey
Ehm... well it's a long story. Let's just say I got too caught up in RL, and too much stuff was happening at once (from the most mundane 'my computer broke down... twice' to the extreme 'someone in my family actually died') and while picking myself up I had to keep up with college, so I had to disappear for a long time. I really wanted to apologize, but I was a bit ashamed for just poofing out and leaving my work here abandoned, so I just kept lurking around and from time to time answering questions from the Answer site anonymously (because my PC forgot my login info and I'm too lazy to log in everytime I want to edit). And lately I've been randomly chiming in to try to resolve discussions in article talk pages. I can't promise I'll go back to be as regular as I used to (college is hard), but I'll try to be around more often now that my situation has normalized a bit.

Ichigo's Relationships
Yeah, I've raised concerns about it as well, and I wouldn't be opposed to getting rid of it (as well as other Relationship sections for the characters that do have it on their pages), but do you think we should talk this over with the Committee as well, or do you think this is something we can handle ourselves? The Committee members might think differently than us about it, in which case we would have to erase the section and start it over from scratch. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  19:06, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * In spite of the amount of work that has been put into fixing Ichigo's relationships page up to its current state, I would not be sorry at all to see the back of it as it is still so far below par. In general the relationship sections that we do have are very poor, almost totally unreferenced (though I accept that its hard to cite a reference for some things), often speculative or inviting the reader to conclude that A has romantic feelings for B when it is nothing but their opinion or desire. And they are usually repeating what is written in the history or plot sections too. So in short I'm fine with removing them. If they are to be kept though, they need an awful lot of work and I think we have more important things to be spending our time on than that. 21:31, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Well, with the exception of Nwang, who actually has not yet given his input, everyone seems in favor of getting rid of the Relationships on character articles.

This is getting beyond annoying!! If somebody repeatedly does things that he has been repeatedly told not to do, shouldn't he be banned?? Godisme and I have told this guy many times to stop making pointless or useless edits or adding things to the Battles and Events section of characters' profiles when they didn't participate in those battles AT ALL!! He keeps doing it, only today he added many to Mashiro's page and she didn't participate in them all!! She never once fought Aizen or faced off against him, she was battling WW the entire time before being floored!! I mean if somebody makes mistakes fine but he is doing it over and over and results in you, Yyp, myself, Godisme or somebody else having to clean up his messes when he has been explicitly told, many times, what goes where and when somebody is listed as having been involved in a fight!! This is getting irritating beyond belief and it's not like I haven't seen you having to undo lots of his edits!! He gets the odd edit right but most of his contributions are useless or, worse, incorrect!!

RE:Edit
I highly suggest you read what I've said over again as you clearly misunderstood me on a few points. I am not suggesting everything is speculation, if someone uses a kidou spell and speaks it's incantation the name and incantation of the kido are no longer speculation, it becomes known information. However when a canon character gives their thoughts on something, their opinion does not become fact it becomes a piece of evidence leaning towards one speculation or another.


 * It makes perfect sense that Xcution would not want Orihime around, there is a chance that her powers could have undone the past "insertions" and they only needed chad so Ichigo would have someone he knew around to better gain he trust. The conclusion comes from looking at all past 479 chapters from Urahara Kisuke's statements in Chapter 44, to Hachi's statements previously refferred to. The evidence honestly supports that Chad and Orihime are the same thing and so if she is not a fullbringer then neither really is he. Correct me if I'm wrong...as I may very well be, my memories isn't the best, but we have never seen chad use fullbring. We've seen him use "his" fullbring but we've never seen him fullbring the ground or the air.
 * I never said that he was wrong, and if I did so by mistake of wording that was not my intent. I am suggesting that what he said was simply the best description he could give based on the knowledge that he had. A fullbring too is "LIKE" a zanpakutou, what is a fullbring if not the manifestation of ones power? Also please refer to the chapters and you will see that Hachi specifically mentions that she had similar powers to those he possessed after becoming a vizard. If he merely meant self created spells that other shinigami didn't understand why would he use his becoming a vizard as a landmark? Why didn't he just say that they were self created spells? Just as I assume his spells make use of hollow powers or knowledge of them, you are only assuming that is not the case. You have no proof.
 * Ok perhaps not a liar but definitely a deciever and manipulator. Why else would he go through the elaborate plan of changing his own past and how else could he have remained hidden from soul society for so long? How else could he have gathered Xcution and gotten them all to follow his plan. As for what could be gained from lying about their origins, that is simple. Sympathy although the process defined for their origins is probably the truth for some if not most fullbringers. However the most important thing is how do they really know their parents were attacked by hollows before they were born? They werent born yet...how could they know? Unless Ginjou went around stalking every single hollow attack in karakura town waiting for people to survive them and then continued to observe until a baby was born and started manifesting it's powers years later.

What I am suggesting makes perfect sense, I'm not saying you are wrong because canon is wrong and I'm not saying you are wrong because you are using canon examples. I'm saying you are taking canon words for proof without looking at the context. You can't see the forest for the trees so to speak. You are confusing speculation and fact, just because we saw Ichigo become a shinigami again most assumed he had just become a shinigami. Even when his mask saved his life in the Renji fight most had not idea that he had an inner hollow and still considered him just a normal shinigami. There was evidence that he had an inner hollow however it took a long time before it was actually confirmed. We were told by the manga he had become a shinigami, we took that as fact, but in truth the entire time he was a vizard(admittedly one whom did not have control over his hollow powers,) The point I'm making is that you cannot take everything from the manga at face value, when looking at the bigger picture and collecting all the evidence certain things come into question. Sometimes this is due to the authors own contradiction mistakes, other times they are left as a mystery never 100% proven leaving the readers to decided for themselves. Salubri, I respectfully request that you acknowledge that while it might be mere speculation it is not baseless and has some degree of logic behind it even if it may be wrong. I am insulted at the way you wrote me off as some fool who wasn't making sense, I only asked for recognition on both sides of the fence. I apologize if I came off as a persecutor pointing the finger claiming you are all wrong, even more so if I directly said as much in my passion, I really do love bleach and I get out of hand sometimes. More accurately I consider your assumptions of facts to be wrong however your speculations could still be just as right as my own. I wont ask for an apology, I will however ask for polite recognition that while you may disagree with me there is no right or wrong party here until Kubo releases a data book or events occur in the manga that solidify our respective thoughts on the matter.

Please don't take this offensive, I am just asking why. YYHPkmnHxH14 | Talk | Contributions '' 08:31, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Fight Summaries
I just wanted to mention that all 6 fight summaries have been completed. I have added images to the summaries that needed them ( with the exception of Ichigo Kurosaki & Kūgo Ginjō vs. Shūkurō Tsukishima & Xcution, but the episode for that fight comes out next week). So, I was wondering if you could unlock the next six fights.

Thanks !

For the fight, Death & Strawberry: Deathberry Returns, should I start and end where the references are ? For example there is a reference in the prologue for chapter 458, does that mean I should start the article with information from chapter 458?

That's okay, but do you know if the article should be about chapters 459 (Death & Strawberry 2) and 460 (Deathberry Returns 2) sine the names of the chapters are the same as the name of the article (Death & Strawberry: Deathberry Returns) ?

Thanks for your help !

Hmmm somebody really looks suspicious here... Sure will look into those!! Lost connection to internet over the weekend and I was in hospital on Friday again, which is good as I am finally on waiting list for the surgery I've been begging for!! The trip has just caused a lot of pain but in the meantime, when everyone else failed, I managed to fix our Router so will look into those asap!! SunXia  (Chat)  19:36, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Jirachiwish
Just letting you know, Godisme found a Wiki dedictaed to defaming him and myself!! It was alarming that Jirachiwish has gone so far to put mine and God's real names in a Wiki, something I had never divulged to him!! I find this stalking behavior to be sick!! I also have concerns that he is now sockpuppeting on new IP address here due to a certain member's behavior which is familiar!! Just letting you know of my concerns but Staff have now closed the pathetic Wiki and I am now fixing my privacy settings for everything again!! SunXia  (Chat)  01:13, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
