Bleach Wiki:Policy & Standards Committee

The Bleach Wiki Policy & Standards Committee is a group of users responsible for assisting with the creation of and quality checking chapter summaries for Bleach manga volumes and episodes for Bleach anime arcs. The committee also has the responsibility of maintaining the quality standards of Bleach Wiki articles by helping other users adhere to the policies of the wiki.

Committee Members

Committee members are also supported by the admin in the regards to their duties whether it be Bleach Official Policy or taking part in the creation of summaries. Members of the committee can display the committee box on their page by using command.

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

Member Responsibilities

 * Regularly assist in the committee projects and to regularly check the Committee discussion page
 * Quality check the work of committee members and non-members who participate in committee projects
 * Quality check the recent edits to articles, especially articles identified as high risk
 * Quality check articles in general
 * Assist members with edits and other issues
 * Roll-back vandalism

Membership Qualifications
The criteria for selecting others require that the interested party have be weekly active user of the wiki with a sizable number of edits, but more importantly, their edits are of good quality and useful. Good spelling and grammar is a must, and they should be able to get on reasonably well with others as having rollback rights should not be abused due to overzealousness. While anyone can be nominated to be considered for open positions, it is the admin who will discuss whether the person should be given the position.

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

Membership nominations
Please feel free to nominate either yourself or a fellow wiki user you believe should be given committee membership and roll-back rights in this section. Due to the pending decision on a number of nominees, the committee is currently not accepting any more applications


 * Declined
 * KiranTheBoi: The users edits are not of a standard expected by the committee.
 * GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON: Has been blocked for the next six months.

Policy Procedures

 * The committee members are bound to the support of the official policy. Thus, they maintain articles by ensuring that users make good faith edits otherwise they are entitled to undo or revert those edits.
 * Committee members warn members if they are violating wiki policy.
 * For users that engage in blatant vandalism or repeated offense of policies, the committee members can bring those users to the attention to the admin, in the event the admin are not aware of the issue.

High-Risk Articles
The following are articles which are frequently edited to alter one aspect of it that segments of Bleach wiki users disagree with but cannot put forward a convincing enough reason to change permanently. A clear reason must be given before adding articles to this list and a clear reason must also exist for why some edits to the article should always be reverted.


 * Espada: This page is frequently editing to alter the status of Tia Harribel (deceased to unconfirmed) and Grimmjow (unconfirmed to deceased). Wiki position is that Mashiro saying Harribel is dead is more proof that she is most likely deceased when we have nothing to counter Mashiro's words but the hopes of fans that Harribel is not dead. Wiki position on Grimmjow is that he was last seen breathing and until we know for certain he is no longer breathing, he is to remain unconfirmed. Due to some passing comments that Kubo may or may not have made in recent interviews, now Ulquiorra Cifer is another character who is being brought back to life by the fans. Whether Kubo played coy regarding the status of Ulquiorra is unimportant, Kubo drew him turning into ash in the manga and as such, until he draw him back alive, Ulquiorra Cifer remains deceased.


 * List of Arrancar: In addition to Tia Harribel and Grimmjow, the list of Arrancar suffer continous edits to the statuses of many other arrancar from unconfirmed to deceased and from deceased to unconfirmed in the case of Harribel's Fraccion. The full reason for why most of them should remain the way they are has been given many times and are collected in Deceased vs unconfirmed. Ulquiorra Cifer is another character to watch for right now.


 * Numeros: Is another page that has many conflicting edits between Deceased and Unconfirmed. The characters to watch for are Tesla and Harribel's Fraccion.


 * Ichigo's Relationships: This is a particularly... delicate article. Officially, the only person who is confirmed to have romantic feelings for Ichigo is Orihime. Ichigo himself may well have romantic feelings for Kenpachi for all we know. However, keeping fandom speculation regarding who Ichigo loves is just part of the problem of this article. There are subtle ways for people to pollute the article with speculation and change the tone to fit their own perceptions. This is why, every new edit to this page must be monitored closely. The page is also in need of an overhaul but that is a major undertaking on it's own. So for now, let's just try and keep the article free of speculation.


 * Kaname Tōsen: This page has become very controversial lately. It has been the subject of disputes about whether or not he is a Vizard (we class him as a Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid, not a Vizard) and where to place his Resurrección section. Reasons are explained on the article's talk page. This article has been placed under protection several times since he was revealed as a hybrid, but when it is not locked, it must be watched carefully.

Future Projects/Suggested Projects
Please use this section to suggest future projects. Thank you.


 * Stubs project - aims to reduce the number of articles marked as stubs by completing it.


 * Bleach Chronology project - aims to update the Timeline article and include a proper chronology of Bleach events since the start of the manga story to give a correct perception of time. The Bleach manga story started in April and in manga, it is currently October of the same year. This is however not captured very well. Especially, people seem to have a hard time wrapping their head around the fact that Orihime has been in Las Noches for about two days before Ichigo barged in and that Fake Karakura town has been happening for a couple of hours tops. So a timeline that puts the passage of in-manga time into perspective would be helpful but not a trivial matter. Thus the project. forum post on this matter. See also my blog post on the matter.


 * Anime/Manga Differences Article project - see the forum post regarding this matter for details.

Comments and Discussion
I just want to say thanks to everyone who has volunteered for the committee. Interest in it seems to have picked up and the initiation mentioned above is under way. I'll raise the new nominations with the other admins for consideration. Given the time of year, I don't know when we can expect a decision, as some (or all) of us may not have the time available that it takes to review contribution histories etc right now, but we will get them decided upon as quickly as possible. -- Yyp  (Talk)  22:12, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Hello folks, seasons greetings to all and specially those wiki editors seeking membership to the committee. I wish you all good luck with the nomination process and would like to remind you that as a member you will have to contribute regularly to one of the three projects currently running. Therefore, I would like to encourage you all to get involved and for those of you already involved, thank you for choosing to help us. Tinni  (Talk)  02:55, December 24, 2009 (UTC)

Alright guys. Basically, after I finish a few more eps, proofread, add some new ones to the Anime Project, and finish some of the completed eps and remove them from the section; I will be taking a few weeks off.

Reason:My computer is a first generation XP and I got it back in early 01. It was then basically put into storage for the most part, only ever used to store music. I did not get it onto the internet until 09 and did not receive the software updates inbetween that long time-period, not to mention how out-dated my hardware is. After that, I tried updating some of the Software and fell victim to a poser website which infected my comp with viruses and corrupt software. I have done everything I kno inorder to fix my system, such as using whatever Anti-Virus programs and Spyware I could find. Unfortunately, my comp does not have the ram for the more advanced Software and in a cruel twist of irony, my Anti-Virus systems(I could only find two) have been hacked and crashed. I have defragged my comp and have personaly gone thru the memory databanks and my comps processor system to look for any anomalies. I found and removed what I could, but some r rooted into my processor and can only be fixed by a system operator.

It gets worse:Finally, my Browsers and music player have been infected and r beginning to crash. My Internet Explorer browser was the first, then my out-dated Netscape browser. And now my Flock browser has bit the dust. My last browser, Firefox, is also showing signs of total collapse, such as minor erros, being unable to reload a page I was just at or load a page period, crashing, memory errors, pop-ups from websites I am not on, going to websites I did not click to go to, Bookmarks being erased, Logging me out of this website, logging me out of my Facebook, forgetting password from here, OK its showing alot of signs. U can't imagine how bad it is to find and stream an episode, and the loading time, "sigh", lets just say it now takes about 35 mins to read a single chapter from One-Manga. Also, my media player is starting to crash, rename songs and delete songs. Basically, with my processor corrupted, it is only a matter of time before this comp completely crashes altogether and I can't stop it.

Solution:I am getting a new comp next month. A brand new Windows 7. So until then I will be here another day or two. So I would like to ask SerialSniper if he wouldn't mind temporarily taking over my project for a short time. I should be back by February 10th, maybe 20th, but I will be back before February ends.

Also, Arrancar109 has pointed out to me that when I Undo someone elses edit it causes the extra space glitch to appear thruout the page. This has happened at least three times today. I am certain the my Comp is behind this. I have also been thinking about the Reference Removal Glitch. This glitch is extremely rare and has happened a total of 4 times(if my memory is correct), two of those times were by me. I am assuming my comp was behind those as well. I imagine if the other two were to respond about that they might also say that they r having comp problems. Minato (Talk)  02:04, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

I just found something strange and I feel I need to share it with u guys. On the search engine here at bleach wiki. If I type in something, i.e, Espada, but lets say I misspell it, Espads. After that it takes me to the list of revelant searches. The top one being the Espada page, which I have clicked on in the past and it has taken me there. Now it takes me, no joke. I really can't explain it. Minato (Talk)  07:13, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
