Forum:Character Match/Look-a-like Voting

Hello- Please, call me Tame- It is a pleasure to address this idea to whom it may concern, and I thank thee for taking the time to read my thoughts.

I would like to make a suggest an idea that I thought was very interesting. I was looking at youtube and there are many videos up about look-a-likes for the different characters and also many about actors that suit characters.

I believe that a semi-open submit and approve picture album could be available on each bleach character's page where I, and my peers, could add pictures of lookalikes or actors (or separate sets for costly and live action) that we believe would suit the role of this specific character.

This, I find is important, not so much to the success of this site, (although it would be an interesting activity that would keep ME involved in it weekly) but for the success of the movie.

When it comes of time, usually during the conception phase, producing initial character designs and finding the right leading characters for live action movies is one of the largest challenges that the staffed anime community, decision makers, and producers face. This will help the envisioning process from 2D to real world for character design, costume design, and roll filling, immensely.

I have no doubt in my mind that this will prove to be useful to them, even if it is in the slightest (though I would say significant, worthy of attention, especially relative to how much an outside organization can normally and non-profitly help with these processes using only creative input, otherwise without donations of technology, materials, or wealth), for the actual staffed Bleach community.

If this community could start this soon, it may be able to help in the future if Bleach decides to make a live action movie.

I speculate that creating a one character a week submit/approve album on the homepage would create better results than all open album on every characters' page. A 1-3 votes each system would also be very interesting, or perhaps a member activity based vote, or votes based on the length of time a member has been part of the Bleach Wiki community (that is, the = of the "current date" subtracted from "member since").

I do believe this will attract attention of the Bleach staff and I do believe that would be amazing and very stimulating towards creating a relationship between the two. I will help you in as many ways I can, I am a engineering student though so my time is very limited, but please, do not hesitate to ask me for input or for my aid.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Best regards, Tame Impala


 * This wiki is for facts only. We do not put fan stuff on articles. Your idea would be better suited for a fan fiction wiki.--


 * I don't know that there would be much appetite for the idea even if it was done as suggested and I'm afraid that I don't share your confidence that it would influence the film makers much. There's been talk of this live action movie for some time now and I'm sure if they are serious they would have certain people in mind for roles etc. I suppose that if this were to be done it would have to be done in a blog/forum and likely nobody else would take on the idea of running it so it would be up to yourself. But I would be very strongly against anything like it being part of the articles. It would fall foul of the site's policies as the idea of lookalikes can be subjective and thus is not suitable for encyclopaedic pages. But even if it went ahead I just don't see it getting much engagement from the community here. 10:36, June 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would have to agree not only does this violate the policies of the site but the very nature of what the site is about, factual information. It really doesnt matter what a user or fan thinks of who should play what or who looks like what as pointed out such things are largely subjective. Also the site and in that vein other wiki sites doesnt have any pull or interaction with the actual higher ups or staff of the content we follow. We simply are here to detail the content already presented. This isnt a fan fiction site or forum that would accommodate such things. I also doubt such a thing would carry any weight on this site and what little amount that it did would be taking away from the proper editing that is really needed here. I would also agree with Godisme such things are more for a fan fiction wiki.--
