Talk:Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World

Synopsis
Is there a reason the Synopsis has a chapter one section that ends with an incomplete sentence? Either you summarize the chapters or you remove the section altogether. I know Bleach is gone, but lets not use that as an excuse for sub-par work on here.

 * I agree that is very poor work on the article. Personally I have no interest in the Novels and they are not released in English so it's not work I am going to be seeking out. The translations online are pretty poor and basic sadly so I wouldn't use those. I have removed the Chapter 1 section. Its welcome to be added back along with the others sections by anyone who can write it comprehensively and properly.

Fleshing Page Out A (Little) Bit
In the interests of getting some movement on this page while there might be some appetite for it out there, I suggest a list of characters that appear in both volume 1 and 2 (when its out) be drawn up. I don't think there could be any translation issues getting in the way of that, just needs someone to go through the book/scans that are out there and pull a list together. 14:04, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea, since I love the story and its reveals so far, but I have two questions. What would you prefer as (easy accessible) reference material? By that I mean where do you prefer any official scans come from, since I follow the story through the reddit translators and all. Secondly, there are some original characters introduced in the book (Hikone, Tokinada, Aura...) that are very significant to its plot. How should we do that, since it might be more difficult to find them. Timjer (talk) 16:32, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * I think it was agreed that given we can't do page numbers as usual, because of the nature of the translations, that Chapter numbers would work. In regards to the new characters we could do pages for the like Ganju's Gang or List of Tōjū only focused on characters from that novel but would need admin consensus on that.
 * I'd go along with that Sun. Per whats said about the translations, we're unlikely to be able to do extensive pages on them, so grouping them together like that seems the best way. 19:44, October 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * I have another idea, actually. If a list of characters is allowed, as well as a seperate page grouping together the novel charcters, how about adding a bullet list of "major events" or "major reveals" or something? Even if we can't do a full summary (yet, I really hope they'll get a western release), I think it'd be good for new visitors to at least have some idea of what the novels are about. And even if their canon status is debatable, at least those people can determine if they want to add anything to their own headcanon. Of course, I'll await admin consensus before doing anything.
 * I already have some ideas, such as Yhwach = New Soul King, Yoruichi's Zanpakuto, Gremmy's nature, Noble Families' ancestral Zanpakutos, etc... And who knows, maybe we can eventually, finally add Hisagi and Shinji's Bankai to it as well.Timjer (talk) 19:56, October 11, 2018 (UTC)

Volunteering for summary
I'll just get straight to the point here. I have enough free time, I'm interested in the novel, I've been following it's translations for some time, and I consider myself decent enough at writing summaries. If you don't mind, I'd like to try and add them here. All I need to know is how you'd prefer I do it. For example, references. Where should I link the references for everything to? Page numbers or something? 'Cause I'm not sure if I have easy access to each page, as I don't have the books themselves, just access to the translations. I'll await your response and if you'd like to know more, I'd be happy to answer. Timjer (talk) 14:18, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Oh, and if you'd like an idea of what my summaries are like, I'd like to direct you to the Monster Musume wiki where I'm pretty active (don't judge). Some decent examples of chapters that I've written complete summaries for are Chapter 31, Chapter 41, Chapter 47, Chapter 55, & Chapter 56. Timjer (talk) 14:28, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * See the references are tricky but I am pretty sure we settled on Chapter numbers for the references to make it easier because the translations are amateur and don't list each page. The Bleach Wiki:Manual of Style should help you in how we write in-universe for the plot sections (none of "It is revealed" because it suggests the book revealed). IT's very kind of you to suggest helping out if you have the time. Our regular contributors here don't really have interest in the novels and as this is voluntary its not fair to expect people to spend their time doing things they do not enjoy.


 * Alright, I'll check the manual of style and try to do my very best. Just one more question for now: what would you prefer? That I write the entire thing on my computer first and then copy-paste it all, or that I write and add it chapter per chapter here? Timjer (talk) 14:50, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Well its up to you so long as you aren't adding multiple edits in a row quite quickly you should be fine. Of course there are errors and such that might need to fix but I mean like say if someone had the chapters already and would post each one individually right after one another like minutes apart. Personally I try to do it all in as few edits as possible but that's me. I will have a wee look when I get a chance. Everyone edits differently, but just try not to do too many if its not needed like say whatever work do one day and then next and such. Some of us also use like our own test wikis to copy from but either or. Thanks for making this effort.


 * So just having a look good so far, now I'm not the best at spotting mistakes just because I be on strong pain killers but so far I think done well in-universe. Xil heads Grammar Corner which was designed to help proof read so don't worry too much about spellings. Would just say if using same chapter reference multiple times, which we do for using anime references for episodes, use a  tag and that way one can be put at the end of each paragraph, using and thats all that is needed after the first one. Probably didn't explain that right but you can see what I added here. I removed the scroll bar just for now until work out the layout as not sure if the short summary at the top is needed. Will chat with the dudes on that one but so far thanks :)


 * To elaborate on what Sun said above, if, somehow, you can reference by page number(s) that would be great; if not, I totally understand, just go for chapter numbers. Also, we don't really have precedent for what a novel summary should look like and be formatted as on here (since, well, no one's bothered to put in a summary for ANY of them before) and I don't know if you've ever written one on another wiki, but I think a section for each chapter as we did for this game's story mode would work fine. Many thanks for volunteering to work on this, I was eyeing doing it at some point but I've got a million other things I want to hit first on here and I don't have ready access to a translation.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:44, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Xilinoc, that's actually a very good suggestion for structuring it, I think I'll use it. However, considering how long the first half of the prologue of the first book seems to be, I think that it might be best if we consider putting each of the three CFYOW books on their own page. But I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get there, and even if I work extra hard on this, it might still take enough time to make a decision. Timjer (talk) 17:52, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * That should be fine, the admin/mod team is all about reducing page length where applicable (e.g. Ichigo's page). I guess for now, write up the summary for the first book (and no pressure! I know how long it takes to write a good summary when factoring in real-life stuff like work and school, so take as long as you need) and we'll evaluate whether or not more pages are needed once you're done. Also, I don't know if the book has a 1:1 ratio of chapters to sketches, but feel free to use the latter in the chapter summaries where applicable - illustration is always a plus when it comes to summaries.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:07, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Timjer, thank you so much for taking this on, I honestly didn't think anyone would be willing to put in the time but Im very glad you are doing this and I know lots of others are too. What you've done so far looks good. The only advise I'd add to what Sun and Xil said is try not to get bogged down in specifics given that these are unofficial translations and the length of the book. Just make sure you get the general idea of it. We'll worry about splitting the page up / trimming the length later. Thank you again. 22:02, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Happy to help. While I was indeed afraid I might be making the summary a bit too detailed, my reasoning was that it's better to have too much details that can still be trimmed away later on than too few. But I'll try to go into less detail from now on. The problem is just that it's not always clear which details are important the overall plot and which ones aren't. At any rate, it's getting late here, so I probably won't be able to respond to any more until tomorrow. Timjer (talk) 22:11, February 6, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thats fine Timjer, you can carry on like that. When you get in to the second half of it it will probably be clear by then what details are more important and it can be trimmed afterward if need be. Keep up the good work. 22:23, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

Yes it can be difficult to trim sometimes. I am a bit like that myself that I put more in and then see what can be trimmed out without the story losing its focus. We do text reductions here, hasn't been one in a while because not much new information outside novels, but it is something many of us have done to our work so I wouldn't be against you doing what you need to, as you are the only person doing this work and then address trimming later if it stresses you out to much. Thanks again. (reset the indent for convo because getting a bit over to edge)

Top of Page Notice
Since these are unofficial translations I think we should put a notice at top saying as much. I dont mean to in any way diminish the work of the people who have translated it, its just that we don't know the quality/reliability of them as we haven't worked with them before. So I think a disclaimer that the translations are unofficial would cover that. 22:02, February 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * See can be argued we use a lot of unofficial translations compared to say Viz or such but I am in agreement here. This is because, I have seen some people say one thing happened and then someone says it doesn't so it does make it very difficult to say for sure.
 * Yeah, it occurred to me as I was writing that that while our translation corner is something we know and trust, it is unofficial as well. But I think in this instance as people are trying to use the translations to say what happened rather than debating the correct way of translating a technique name etc its the way to go. And as you say it would let people know there is room for errors / contradictions in it. 22:23, February 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * Since I'm the one writing it, I'll just say that I also support this. Even if it's only to lessen my responsiblity if anyone complains about any translation errors. Timjer (talk) 13:41, February 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * So, is this still going to happen? I mean, I would put the disclaimer there myself, but I'm honestly not sure how to do it. Or if I even have permission. Timjer (talk) 07:31, April 15, 2019 (UTC)
