Forum:Volume a week club

The idea
As most of you are undoubtedly aware, the majority of the chapter summaries are missing. In fact, everything between volume 2 and volume 39 are missing chapter summaries. So this is what I propose. We form a volume a week club! Basically I am looking for eight other people to help me in the quest to make sure all volumes have completed chapter summaries. I mean, it's a daunting task if anyone tries to do it alone but if we do it as a group I am sure it'll be done in no time!

So here is the plan, since I completed volume 2, we'll start with volume 3. Below is a list of chapters. If you want to participate in this "club" just claim a chapter (like I have with chapter 25) and list the status as incomplete. When you have finished adding the summary for the chapter, just change the status to complete. Once all the chapters are done, we can move on to the next volume. The goal would be to get one volume done per week. But of course if it is done sooner then we'll move on to the next volume sooner. Of course, if you are done with your chapter and want to do another one (that hasn't been claimed yet) then you can do so. But remember! This is suppose to be fun and not stressful! So if you claim a chapter but find that the week has become busy, just unclaim it and don't worry about it.

So, what do you guys think? Anyone wants to join me in the Volume a week club? Feel free to tell me this is a terrible idea that will never work :D Tinni 03:32, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Suggested Guidelines
These are some friendly suggestions to keep in mind when writing summaries and they are also things that might be helpful if you writing a chapter summary for the very first time. They are also designed to comply with wiki best practice.

This section is a work in progress. Please feel free to add your own suggestions, tips and tricks.

1. Please keep in mind that this is a wiki and so please do not speculate when writing the chapter summary. Just describe things as they unfold, and when in doubt, go for neutral tone and wording.

2. The chapter summary is not suppose to be a substitute for actually reading the chapter. As such, there is no need to give minute details of everything that's happening. Remember, it is a summary only.

3. Links - please consider providing one where you think that the reader of the summary might want more information on either a character or a term.

Discussion/Comments
Hi folks, just clearing out the discussion because it was getting too long and also summarising completed issues. I would like to thank both Twocents and Yyp for their contribution and once again I would strongly encourage other editors to join us. Come-on folks! Just grab a chapter and start summarising!

Wow! Thanks Twocents for getting another volume done way ahead of time! I did make a start on volume 38 but mostly because I was feeling a little Kira deprived. The focus is still on volume 6, with volume 38 as an alternative for people who might be more familiar with the later Bleach chapters. So once again, please consider just grabbing a chapter and trying your hand at summarising it. We really do need all the help we can get since we still have a lot of volumes to summarise!
