Bleach Movie 4
I was wondering, since we are likely to see an influx of edits about it, how are we going to deal with the new movie. Would any plot info from it be treated as a spoiler? If so, a new section for it should be made on the spoiler page. And how would we treat it considering the timescale involved here (a year until its release and likely another 9 months until a sub becomes available) - do we not allow plot details to be added until it is released in English, or would we allow details to be posted once it is released in Japan? -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:57, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Removal of Committee Members
Just bringing it to everyones attention. A procedure for how to remove a member of the Committee (including the 1st seat) has been proposed here: direct link. -- Yyp  (Talk)  15:27, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ichigo's page
Ok so Ichigo's page has been locked for maintenance and referencing, which as a major page it needs alot of extensive work. The problem is unlike normally this one requires far more then I alone can do. Im working on the powers and abilities section which is turning into a large chore all itself, somewhat equivalent of doing any others character entire article. In any case while im trying to handle that the problem is the rest of the article. It would be much appreciated if we could all work together to make it happen, as a major page he is gonna have alot of appearances in the up and coming anime and manga. The faster the page can be done the sooner it can opened back up otherwise we will have to just update it on are own until such time that we can reopen the page.

 * Yeah, I'll start work on the Appearance, Personality & History sections now. And I'll do the Agent of the Shinigami arc too. Once that's taken care of, I'll see what's left to do and claim some more sections. -- Yyp (Talk) 21:18, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, since I'm going through extensive editing through Amagai's page and plan to do Ran'Tao's page as well, I guess I can take both the Bount and Amagai arcs for Ichigo's page. Arrancar109 (Talk)  21:29, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

It's a good thing Ichigo has had relatively small role these last few weeks. I've got the appearance, personality & history sections done and broke up the walls of text with some pictures. I'll start the long trudge through the plot section next. -- Yyp (Talk) 19:29, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Concerned
Hey im a little concerned here. Where is WhiteStrike and where is Twocents. Like for admin they haven't been on and there really isn't any explanation as to why and im starting to wonder whats going on. Besides that the committee is looking i dont know spars. Like i know minato was having comp problems and his taking a break till he gets another one, which is fine. but some of the new members are on infrequently at best and therefore alot of the planned stuff doesn't get done. That removal idea is starting to look alot better. But considering these people made a big deal about joining the committee and now it feels like they arent the least bit bothered. No one has to be on everyday but more then once or two out of seven days would be ideal. I know people have stuff they need to do, but if they are that wrapped up then maybe they need to drop this so we can move on to those that are more open. Just some thoughts but we need to start finding people. Personally the fights project hasn't even been started cause nwang is never on now. Salubri (Talk)  19:52, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I emailed Twocents a few days ago, just to ask if she was alright and whether or not she thought she'd be back soon, but no response. I guess whatever is keeping her away from here is keeping her from answering emails too. I notice Arrancar109 hasn't made any edits since the 1st Feb. -- Yyp (Talk) 22:33, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well its been a while and Twocents is still nowhere to be found, I checked her other site where she is an admin and she hasn't been there either. So im not sure what we do cause we are literally down to 3 admin total, which is the same as we had when Whitestrike was still active. Now its back to that same number and having two new admin defeats the purpose if one of the admin we had aren't really active on the site any longer and the other new one is AWOl. Im not sure what to do in this situation but we might need to take some action here. Because there are plenty of things not getting done and that doesn't help the site at all.Salubri (Talk)  03:25, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Quick update: still no reply from Twocents, but Minato88 has been in touch via User:Soul reaper magnum to say that "he wont be getting back for a little while longer". -- Yyp (Talk) 19:29, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the statistics page, it has been just over three months now since Twocents last logged in. I figure at this point we should list her as Periodically inactive on the admin page and add the inactive box to her talk page. Yyp (Talk) 23:14, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Seems like the best option to me. Arrancar109 (Talk)  23:17, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yes good point. Also if you two could go to the admin template and sign your signatures that would be good too. Salubri (Talk)  23:37, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Pic/Quote Vote Nominations
We have a small issue with the featured quote vote: the rules state that the quotes should be from Ju-Ni, but Ju-Ni do not typically release their scans until Monday (1st February). Should we use Cnet, as he also a reputable translator and already has a translation out (his translations tend to be broadly similar to Ju-Ni), or should we allow the quotes from ch390 to carry over to next month's vote? Changing the source we use for quotes would not prevent this issue in future, as it can still happen no matter which we use. So it would be better to either use Cnet as a reserve when Ju-Ni's translation is not available, or else let the quotes carry over to the next month. Also, there have been a couple of requests that pictures added so close to the deadline be carried forward into the next month too to make it fairer. -- Yyp (Talk) 19:24, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm going to stick with the Ju-Ni quote most of the time, with Cnet as a back-up. If neither of them are available in reasonable time, the quote can carry over to the next month. -- Yyp (Talk) 19:29, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Spelling of Allon's and Lisa's Names
User:Thunderwitch has raised the issue of the spelling of Allon on the article's talk page (Talk:Allon). I checked, and there is no official spelling of its name in the chapters that it appeared in, so it would appear that this is the only remotely official source we have. -- Yyp (Talk) 16:11, February 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Same for Lisa Yadomaru's given name: Talk:Lisa Yadōmaru. -- Yyp (Talk) 21:53, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Translation
To make everyone aware. I had a conversation with MarqFJA and he has recently informed with this translation:

Yo. Just wanted to check up on the progress regarding the Hollow/Shinigami hybrid topic.

BTW, I finally managed to acquire raw scans of the two pages that I had brought up in our "Hollow-Shinigami hybrid" discussion on Talk:Kaname Tōsen, and confirmed that the original terms used by Aizen are as follows:


 * Shinigami no Horoo-ka (死神の虚[ホロウ]化) - "Hollowification of Shinigami".
 * Horoo no Shinigami-ka (虚[ホロウ]の死神化) - "Shinigamification of Hollow(es)".

Note: The kanji 化, when used as a suffix, is virtually equivalent in purpose and meaning to English "-ification". As we can see, the term "Shinigamification" is actually an official/canonical term, contrary to original belief.

So in fact Shinigamification apparently is a canonical word in the series. Though obviously never really used. By no means does that mean it deserves a page but it can be used in text of already established pages. Seeing as its rarely used and we really have no information on it at any level. The original conversation was about the use of the term Hollow-Shinigami Hybrid and Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid. Apparently these translations provide a canon use of the the hybrid terms without explicitly stating hybrid (Except in the common translation found on most sites). It also provides that Shinigamification is an actual word. The term Hollow-Shinigami Hybrid for those originally Shinigami and Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid for those originally Hollow.

March Featured Article
I'm not sure if the 4th support vote for Hinamori should count, as beyond "Her article looks to be in order" it says nothing relevant. Also, concerning the vote of User:Godisme: how many edits are we saying is enough to say they have been recently active, as s/he only has 2 edits to articles in February? -- Yyp (Talk) 11:54, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

We never specify how many edits we probably should for next time but in this case we dont need to worry about it. From my count Momo has 2 usable votes. TheBlade96 wasnt removed by me previously as I recall he fits criteria. He has been on for a month, he then contributed that month and February. So he should be counted with Yamamoto then has 3 votes. Salubri (Talk)  14:37, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I could have sworn there was something about a user having a minimum of 10 edits, but having looked over the previous discussion on this & the policy, I can't find it anywhere. I've put the vote back in. Keeping Godisme's votes, we have a clear winner with Yamamoto. I believe that this is the only cover Yamamoto has had. So how many edits do we think would define recently active? -- Yyp (Talk) 15:24, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Good question, do you have any numbers you want to throw out. <font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  22:23, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not too sure about any numbers, but it should probably be a relatively low number. 5 or thereabouts maybe? I really don't know. 10 seems too high. -- Yyp (Talk) 19:39, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

April Featured Article
We once again seem to have come to impasse on what article to place up this month. The three up are:


 * Ichigo Kurosaki

According to the voting procedures Ichigo has 1 vote. I question the support votes, considering the page is in overhaul currently.


 * Rangiku Matsumoto

According to the voting procedures Matsumoto has 1 vote. I question the facts of the oppose votes accuracy.


 * Wonderweiss Margera

According to the voting procedures Wonderweiss has 1 vote.

So there must be a vote.<font color="4169E1" size="2px">Salubri <font color="4169E1" size="2px">(Talk)  07:13, April 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not a great selection to choose from, but I vote for Matsumoto. -- Yyp (Talk) 09:33, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
