Profile Picture Changes
As per the Image Policy, nominate and discuss changes to the profile pictures of the character articles here and only here. The typical requirements for a profile picture are that it shows the character facing forward, in their typical attire and should not be battle-worn. They should be centered, have good lighting, and be of good quality. Candidates also must have valid and complete and  templates attached to them or else they will be rejected.

Suggestion for '5 y/o ghost boy' new profile pic
WD  Talk to me  16:32, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not ideal having the tassel of Ichigo's Zanpakuto there, but it is a lot better than the current one, both in quality and angle. 21:33, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

Amagai
I'm going to finish overhauling Amagai's article soon, but before I do, I think we need to change his profile image, as the lighting in it is off. I found 2 shots that I liked, but if anyone else wants to put up any other options, that's cool, but I think we should change it to something with Amagai in the daylight, facing the camera (before using his Bankai). Arrancar109 (Talk)  16:54, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

I like 187 as it is a little closer and I like the expression but 168 is good as well--God (Pray)  17:18, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Tosen
I don't like Tosen much but I do think he deserves a better profile picture then he current has. How about Option A from episode 280? Tinni  (Talk)  14:13, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

lol. im usually quite biased of my own pics, but that one is really good too. hmm id go with either one, honestly.--RexGodwin 16:23, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Option B is not suitable imo (too heavily shadowed). A is alright, but I'd prefer to see if we get any better ones before he pulls out his Hollow mask. 20:51, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'm with Yyp on this. Let's wait for at least another episode or so (depending on how long it takes for Tosen to get his mask) before voting. I mean, out of these two, I'd say A is the way to go, since B is heavily shadowed, but I want to wait until after the next episode(s) come out, so we can possibly get better options in the future before picking something. Arrancar109 (Talk)  04:30, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, he put his mask on and he's about to become Fugly the mosquito and then when we see his face again, he won't be wearing glasses and might have eyes. So if we are going to get any more mug shots, it'll have to be from what we have. Tinni  (Talk)  13:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Ha ha. Well, option A is our best bet then. Follows the policy better than the current image, and it looks pretty good. Besides, Tosen is another one of those characters with a freakishly symmetrical head - a trait of the 9th Division captains? Hisagi's out of the loop then. Mohrpheus (talk) 13:51, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

If the outline of his eyes aren't a problem (I'm really not sure how everyone feels about that), then I found one more candidate on Episode 289. It meets with most of what we're looking for. So how about it? Arrancar109 (Talk)  19:07, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I'm torn, I think the outline of his eyes are kind of nice to have but I like the 289 one better for everything else. I'll go with whatever though--God (Pray)  19:23, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I think any of these can be better than the current. Domynyk 21:25, Sept 21, 2010, (UTC)

I haven't watched episode 289, probably won't do so before tomorrow, so I don't know if there's any other option there, but from the current pictures, I would prefer 289, it looks very good and meets our usual requirements, but I'm not sure of how necessary the outline of his eyes would be. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  00:23, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Anything it is better then the current one. So in that respect, 289 is ok. However, I don't like 289. Now the lack of eye-line outline is a factor but not the deal breaker for me. What IS the deal breaker is cut off chin. You know that there is a bit of chin missing and it really distracting for me. Might not be for other people but is for me. I had a quick look through 289 but there doesn't seem to be much on offer. In fact the best pick of Tosen is unfortunately obstructed but I am throwing it up here anyway as 289 option B. I also have another where he's slightly bowed, option C, but the advantage is that you get to see his braids. It is, however, slim pickings. I would feel sorry for Tosen if I, you know, liked him. Tinni  (Talk)  00:49, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Guys, let's move this discussion along please. Tosen's profile picture is pretty terrible and so we should resolve this as quickly as possible. For my part, I am going with Episode 289 Option B. Yes you have the tip of Hisagi's Kazeshini in the pic but it doesn't really distract from the picture and you can clearly tell that it's not part of his appearance. But the picture shows his corn-rows and the beads that style the end of his hair. Tosen's hair is special and that pic really shows of his hair well. Kubo took great pains in drawing Tosen and complained and he and Zaraki are the most difficult to draw because of the hair. We have to show off his hair! It's an important part of his character design! Tinni  (Talk)  11:28, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

I wouldn't really go with 289 B because it shows not one but two blades and his head is in a bit of an awkward position. My vote would go for either 280 since it shows his full head and has a nice shot of this braids even if he's not fully looking straight forward, or 289 A, I don't see the cut off chin you mention, maybe his neck isn't fully shown but his chin is completely there, and it is a very good shot. I agree with Tinni, we must reach a consensus with this, even if I don't like Tosen either, he needs a new profile picture, his current one is just terrible. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  01:49, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

So...I am going to give my input. Clearly, Tōsen does need a profile picture change. I don't know how much people care for the eye-line outine or his hair style (pointed out by Tinni) but let us try to reduce the number of candidates to two (maybe three) specific images. Now I support 280A, 289A and 289C. 289C is the one that I (currently) am most strongly supporting because it does have the hair style that Tinni suggests we portray, it is facing foward, has appropriate lighting and it does show a bit of his outfit. My 2nd choice is evenly divide between 280A and 289A. But if people think that the eye-line is important, than my 1st choice would be 280A. In the end, it does not look like Tōsen will have the "best" profile image unless somebody somehows find an appropriate profile pose that may have been missed from previous episodes. - Mr. N 21:04, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

I say 289 B--God (Pray)  22:23, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

I'd like one that shows off the hair a bit as well. The eyes would be a bonus. 289A has neither worth mentioning. For me it is between 289 b & c, even if both are a bit awkward. 21:39, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

I am calling time on this one. 289 B wins with support from myself, Yyp and Godisme. Tinni  (Talk)  06:56, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Kenpachi Zaraki
You know I didn't want to start a discussion on this without a proposal, but seeing how I heavily defended the pic in the past, I'm going to sing a different tune. As much as I like Kenpachi's current pic, and as much as it perfectly suits him (I can probably go on and on about this, lol), he's technically battle-worn. We all know that he does not have a blood gash on his chest all the time, so this pic should be replaced. I think there are some proposed images on his Talk Page, but if there's a good replacement pic out there, we should post it ASAP. Aside from the shots already on his Talk Page, if there's anyone who has any suggestions, I'd like to see them. Arrancar109 (Talk)  00:52, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, here are all of the old discussions. Arrancar109 (Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's time for a new Kenpachi picture. The one on the front page is from the SS arc.--Shinitenshi 05:39, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I'll ask Arrancar109 if he can get a newer & better one. Minato88 07:37, October 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * So is he going to get a newer picture anytime soon? --&lt;3 Noel 00:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sorry that I was a bit "impulsive" but I have placed a newer image of Kenpachi. If someone else has a "better" one, please feel free to replace it. Mr. N 19:39, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * You know, I'm going to throw my 2 cents in: I don't see a need to change the image, as I think it's been a perfect fit since day 1. However, since we've been doing this with other characters, I don't see why we should keep Kenpachi out either. I did revert that image that was put up, but only because I think we can still find better. So, in other words, I did take it down, yes, but I don't think we should give up searching for a new profile image for him. I'll keep my eyes open for a new image as well. Arrancar109 22:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * There is very good reason to change his pic. The art style has changed drastically since SS so there is little reason to keep a picture from SS. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with a new picture of him, but I think the original one is still fine and suitable for his style and personality. I dislike the new one that's oddly squished and has the distracting spiritual energy around it. Twocents 01:55, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * It's because of the freaking glitch and lack of judgment that I am SEVERELY against "updating" existing images. And I am seriously aggrevated that I can't fix this without having to duplicate the current image. I'll give it a few hours. If no change, I'm uploading a duplicate image of his old profile pic and leaving it there. Arrancar109 02:03, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Totally. I think that if people want to update images, they need to upload them under different file names and get community input. I tried uploading the original picture again, but it doesn't seem to have worked. ;-; Twocents 02:16, November 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * What about these two, they're the only good ones with his eye patch on in Hueco Mundo which has better lighting than the new arc:-- SalmanH  (Talk)  10:02, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * I like episode 201 and picture number 2, but I still find the current profile picture to be preferable. Twocents 23:46, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * The picture from episode resembles him a lot,I think.That's the one that should be added. Mojito96 22:36, December 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't decide between the two here, but it's obvious that the picture should be changed, the current one is to low quality and it's a very old picture from like, what is it 200 episodes ago? --07:58, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll have to agree. Though, if I had to choose, I'd pick Door #1, considering it has a full-on shot of his face. Maggosh 04:28, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heh. I know that this topic is rather old and that it is highly unlikely for the profile image changing anytime soon (seeing as the current profile image from the Soul Society Arc seems to be a perfect fit) but I'll just put this other candidate from Episode 196 if anyone feels like continuing the discussion. ^_^ - Mr. N 18:42, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's good but I was hoping for something more recent. Here's one from Episode 249. Forget the subtitle, if it is selected, I'll track down a non-subtitled version of the picture. Tinni   (Talk)  04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know. The episode 249 pic doesn't quite show his usual maniac self. He looks like a nice guy. I'll have a go at some pics myself. <font color="dark grey" face="Candara">BlazeUchiha <font color="red" face="Eurostile">(Talk)  12:06, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * ^^Scratch that. Didn't see the pic on the article. It's perfect. Don't change it. Seriously. <font color="dark grey" face="Candara">BlazeUchiha <font color="red" face="Eurostile">(Talk)  12:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

As I said, ignore my previous objections to replacing the pic, as it actually should be replaced, since he's technically battle-damaged in it. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  01:01, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I don't usually support changing a profile pic for the sake of changing it, but Kenpachi's has bothered me for quite a while. Not only is it quite old (Soul Society arc, ouch), but as Arrancar109 said, he is battle-damaged in the picture, which has always been something that we have used to filter out potential pics for other characters. In addition, the focus isn't really on his head, and this might just be me, but the quality looks a little dull, but then again, this was back when Bleach wasn't in high def. This might be one of those cases where we need to use a pic from a filler arc - I don't think any of the options on the talk page were like that. Mohrpheus (talk) 01:06, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I really like the current pic as it truly captures Zaraki, if it has to be replaced, I vote for 201 but I don't know if it is admissable seeing as there is a slash on his shoulder. Though, isn't he normally battle damaged? The two canon times he has really fought were against Ichigo in SS where he get cut up nicely. Second time was vs. Nnoitra where he got cut up nicely--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  01:13, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I love the current picture, it's sooo Kenpachi. But if you say he's battle damaged, then so be it. I never thought a slash on his chest would be considered battle damage, I thought that applied only to damage on the face, but OK. I'd vote for 196 even if it's a bit old, there's no battle damage that I can see, it's facing forward, he has his default expression and it has a great drawing, and no odd poses or anything like that. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  02:35, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

IMO none of these are very good replacements for the current pic.

196 is cropped weirdly and doesn't show much detail of Kenpachis hairstyle.

201 has very awkward body positioning and has heavy shadows on his face.

201 no. 2 is too zoomed out and makes his head look smaller than it is, and 249 has got subtitles which would look atrocious on a profile pic.

I would stick with the current one, or find better options from other episodes. TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 20:40, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Keigo
Ok, can we possibly get a new profile pic for Keigo.

The current one isn't facing forward, has quite an odd expression and is rather close up for a profile pic.

Again I'm not yet experienced in getting any good pics that comply with all the policies (Hopefully I can get some help to learn how to get good pics so I can start to contribute some myself) but until then their of plenty users out there that are far more talented that me at getting good pics.

I know he isn't a main character, but I feel we should treat all the characters equally in terms of making their pages as good as possible. TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 15:30, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, this one needs replacing. I'll add it to my list of things to watch out for. 20:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Aizen
Another possible replacement for Aizen's current picture from the recent episode. The quality might not be as good but I think it's a decent looking picture of Aizen and I kind of like the slight angle he's on but that's just me. There are really no shadows that would make Aizen look off at all. Just a possible idea is all. Hammer Bro. Mike (talk) 00:06, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

The point of changing a profile picture to bring it up to standards and meet our policies. There is nothing wrong with Aizen's picture.--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  00:09, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

I see no point in changing this. 21:29, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

New Image
Just a shot that could be put next to the latest chapter's info, it's Ichigo and Urahara nearby as Aizen is sealed. Prophet of Sanghelios (talk) 04:22, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Seeing as Ichigo is barely in the picture, I would say do not add it.--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  04:30, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

I agree, Ichigo is barely more than a blotch of ink in the picture, I would not add it into his article. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  04:59, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Then would the second image work? It's a clear shot of Ichigo looking away from Aizen as the latter is sealed. Prophet of Sanghelios (talk) 05:10, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yachiru
i think Yachiru's profile picture needs to be changed because you can see kenpachi's shoulder and shes not looking at the camera. So could people suggest some pictured we could replace it with?Karan8 (talk) 01:49, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Cataloguing
Place any images that are to be catalogued in the Image Galleries here.

Omake Image Gallery
I would like for an Omake Image Gallery setup to go with Omake Segments article. We have a number of images from omakes that have been uploaded for feature picture and/or personal use and I think an Omake Gallery could useful. Tinni  (Talk)  23:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Volume Sketch Gallery
I think it's a good idea to have a designated gallery for all the volume sketches. I realize there are few (if any) in actual use, but I believe as the Bleach Wiki we should have all these images in stock. WD  Talk to me  20:33, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Fraccion Image Gallery
I was wondering if there were any plans for an image gallery for the various Fraccion.

I think it would be a good idea as I've seen lots of spare images hanging around the wiki and some are pretty cool.

Also would it be a big image gallery, with all the Fraccion sharing one? Or would they each get individual galleries.

If any admins would like to discuss this, I would be happy to respond quickly. :)TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:32, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Each individual Fracción member would have their own image galleries. I don't see what good it'll do to group them all together. It'll be like grouping Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Aramaki's pages together, just because they all serve under Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi. I think the only individuals who will have their pages grouped together are Shinigami and their respective Zanpakuto Spirits with them, generic Hollows, generic Toju, and generic Arrancar. I think that would be it. Every other character would have their own image gallery. <font color="teal" size="2px">Arrancar109 <font color="teal" size="1px">(Talk)  22:51, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up. :) TotalDrama22121. When worlds collide...it's dramatic. 22:56, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Zanpakuto Image Gallery
I think that a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be useful. It would have their Sword/Sealed forms, Shikai, Bankai (if any), their Spirit forms, and the video clip of their special abilities, all with seperate galleries, but in the same category.

It could shown them with their masters, or seperately, but a Zanpakuto Image Gallery would be really useful.

All zanpakutō are in their respective shinigami's pages. Such as Byakuya's page has pics of his sowrd sealed, shikia, bankai and different bankai forms along with gifs of his abilities and Senbonzakura's spirit.--<font color="black" face="Verdana">God <font color="black" face="Verdana">(Pray)  19:14, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

I think there is merit in this request. We could have an image gallery that is the sub-article of the Zanpakutō article. I think it would be nice to be able to see all the different zanpakutos in the one gallery. Tinni  (Talk)  19:38, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
