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

 * Taicho: Tinni ( talk ) - Presiding Officer of the Committee. Project leader of the Volume Summary Project.
 * Fukutaicho: Minato ( talk ) - Project leader of the Anime Summary Project.
 * 3rd Seat: Mohrpheus ( talk )
 * 4th Seat: =Vacant= (position yet to be filled)
 * 5th Seat: =Vacant= (position yet to be filled)

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.

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 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.


 * I have spoken with User:TomServo101 about the Committee. He was very enthusiastic about joining and said he wanted to be of more help around here. He immediately said he'd join so I am nominating him for Fifth Seat. Minato 05:51, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * User:Gold3263301 has said he would like to join the Committee. He was also enthusiastic, so I am nominating him for the position of Fourth Seat on the Committee. Minato 22:49, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * This is a little strange, because particularly, I'm a modest person, so it's a little weird nominating myself... Anyways! I'm User:Animeluvr92, and I'd like to nominate myself for the position of Fifth Seat. I've remained in the background since I've become a member because this Wiki has always been so heavily-organized by the members of this community. Hence, I don't have a good revision history to go by. However, I want that to change that; I want to become more involved with the standards of this Wiki. I have excellent spelling and grammar, which I know is a prerequisite for the Policy & Standards Committee. I've always followed Bleach Wiki using Google Reader and an RSS Bookmark in Firefox, so I keep up with all revisions. Thanks for your time! Animeluvr92 21:55, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

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.


 * 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.


 * 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.

Comments and Discussion
Hi folks, just wanted to leave a quick note saying that I am back but I am way, way, way behind everything. I'll start getting back into things as I get caught up with what's been happening. Tinni 09:30, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

To give u a quick catch up. We have a new policy(link included). Tosen is not a Vizard, but a Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid(which u already know). His and Shinjis pages are currently locked due to massive edits. User:Adam Restling has proven to be very very helpful and has been nicknamed by me, the Sites Expert Translator. A new nomination for the Committee Animeluvr92(which i'm sure u know about). User:GODKING OF ICE CERBERUS WERE-GARURUMON (say that 5 times fast) has requested Adminship and refused the Committee(or chose it over the Committee). For the Committee members we r probably going to hold an initiation of sorts. And we have many new forums and blogs. That is about it. Oh and many more r starting to use the custom sig feature. I chose Gold. Minato (Talk)  19:14, December 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update. I think the initiation is a good idea. With any luck we'll fill the vacant seats very soon. Tinni 01:22, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
