Wonderweiss Margera

 * 1)  Wonderweiss has been quite an important character in recent events and his article has been pretty deeply expanded because of it. We now have information on his Resurrección and abilities, and everything about them (as well as events in the plot) have been very detailed and well referenced. I think he's a good candidate for April.  SerialSniper14  (Talk)  19:57, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  With Wonderweiss' death, I believe that it is safe to come to the conclusion that no new, essential information can be added to his article - it has been completed. This last month has been eventful - Wonderweiss' history and purpose have been revealed, and his article has been changed to reflect this. The article has been well-kept since then, and contains little to no controversy. I don't feel that any other characters have been given enough of the spotlight to be featured this month, and Wonderweiss' death would add a particular finality as the featured article for April.

 * 1)  When it comes to this month's selection, WW is definitely not in possession of the best article, it's still incomplete in my opinion and still needs a little history to it, there's just nothing really there that stands out to me SunXia 21:39, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Ichigo Kurosaki

 * 1) I was kind of hoping no one would vote for Ichigo but since it has happened, I must point out that Ichigo's article is in the middle of maintenance and thus locked down. I am not sure it is a good idea to feature a "being overhauled" article.  Tinni   (Talk)  15:59, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) This month does not have a lot of good options for voting. Of the articles that are eligible, I think Ichigo's is the best. It may be being overhauled currently but for the amount of information we have about Ichigo, it is handled very well. His article is the story of bleach and I believe it deserves to be featured this month--Godisme  (Talk)  19:12, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'll have to agree with Godisme. Of the current selection of FA candidates, Ichigo's article is superior. The more recent chapters are featuring Ichigo more and more as well. Maggosh 18:13, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Rangiku Matsumoto

 * 1)  Argh! What a stupid month. I wasn't going to vote this month but then Rangiku turned up in the anime and I decided that there was an article worth voting for. I myself have recently worked to improve Rangiku's article by adding pictures to the plot summary and inserting information from the Databooks. She's even got a new profile picture! So the article has been steadily improving and has a... shine to it because of all the work that has been done to it recently. In addition, while she hasn't been in the manga for a bit, she has been featuring in the anime and sections related to anime-only episodes have been kept upto date and all. So yes, I think her article is worthy feature.  Tinni   (Talk)  11:53, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2)  The best of a bad selection I guess but her article has significantly improved and I love the new profile picture and the many pictures that now live on the page. Nice job Tinni SunXia 21:35, March 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Rangiku does not really have a good article. If you read through it, half of it isn't even proper english. There are missing words all over, poor grammar and not a lot of attention to detail. I cannot support Rangiku as article of the month--Godisme (Talk)  00:48, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

Wonderweiss Margera

 * 1)  Well, Wonderweiss was killed some weeks back now. You have to give him something, though! He was turned into a tested Arrancar made JUST to take away flames used in several different suituations. Then there's his death; really horrible on what Aizen did to him, then flashed off. Who's with me? ChappyKing 20:15, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1)  I think Wonderweiss should be April's article due to the fact we all found out the true purpose as to why Aizen had created him and that was to suppress Yammamoto's zanpakuto so that Aizen can test the General's abilities. A very remarkable twist! User:Avoche

 * 1)  While I am somewhat disappointed by Wonderweiss' abrupt death, he was integral to the plot. The fact that he was somehow critical to Aizen's plot was implied from the beginning; "how" was the only mystery. The fact that he was specifically modified to subdue Yamamoto's zanpakuto was a surprising twist - a testament to Aizen's foresight. Wonderweiss' last moments have added a large amount of data to his article, and it is quite well kept. I also feel that as a main character, his death justifies his candidacy for April's Article.

 * User gave no valid reason, Support should be about article quality not recent status of character.

Ichigo Kurosaki

 * 1) Without being able to vote for Isshin who I think would make the best choice, I have to go with my second choice. Ichigo was super heavily featured in this past month. His article has some flaws, I cannot deny that but one of the great things about being the featured article is that it brings alot of editors to that page. I think if Ichigo were to be the featured article again, we could fix his article up nicely. While it is not the best article, it is better than most. Ichigo's, like Aizen's,tells the story of bleach in its entirety. It is the best choice right now.--Godisme 15:21, March 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Ichigo should be put on again, so far in the manga, so far Aizen has revealed that Ichigo is sort of his main goal, like he revealed that he has known Ichigo from the day he was born. So I think Ichigo should be put up again, since his dad can't. User: Zangetsu20

 * 1) I say Ichigo because as Zangetsu20 stated, he was Aizen's main goal. Which actually someone wrote in one of the fanfictions i read previously, so it makes sense. Of course Aizen would want the strongest warrior by his side. My question really is what does he plan to do with Ichigo? I say Ichigo for April. There really isnt anyone else this month, besides Rangiku from the anime. Which I need to finish watching.Mimi-soutaicho125 16:30, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Orihime Inoue

 * 1) It would be nice to have orihime´s as the article of the month, i mean, there is not to many information about her along the main story of the manga, and a little advertising of her article would spred more information about her and make some points in the anime/manga easier to understand...=)
