Bleach Wiki talk:Featured Quote

I think you need to add a couple of more categories:

Quincy Human Others (like Bounts, movie characters and stuff)

You know, just to get the full range of characters and not to exclude anyone--Shinitenshi 06:27, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

As the rules state, this is only open to quotes that appear in the manga and anime from this month. The Bount and movies cannot be included as they have not appeared this month. However, you may add quotes from any characters/groups that do appear over the course of the month. That includes Humans and Quincy of course. They are not currently listed as no members of those groups have appeared this month. They will be added if they do appear. --Yyp 19:09, November 8, 2009 (UTC)

oops
I accidentally added Kurotsuchi's long quote from nearly 2 years ago, when he was fighting Szayel Aporro in Resurreción since I didn't see the rule right there. I then read the rule and tried deleting it. But it won't appear and I can't revert it back to normal. What happened?--Lazer81095 23:58, November 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * It will not turn up because it has already been removed. --Yyp 00:02, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

New Voting System
As you can see, we have a new voting system in place now. It is pretty simple and already explained on the page and in our Voting Policy, but the main points are that you may cast one vote in support of and one vote in opposition to any candidate, but no more than that. Also, you do not have to use the "Oppose" vote if you do not wish to (but if you do, please cast a "Support" vote as well, to show your alternative suggestion). Please give reasons for your choice and remember to sign your comments using 4 tildes ( ~ ). Thank you --Yyp 23:40, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Sigh. Due to problems with the way many users voted in our three features last month, we have changed the system. Full details are set out in the Voting Policy, but are summarized below. Familiarize yourself with the policy before voting. -- Yyp  (Talk)  12:49, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * The "Oppose" votes will no longer be deducted from a candidate's total votes. It exists purely to highlight issues with a candidate.
 * Valid reasons must be given for voting for/against a candidate, otherwise the vote will be moved to the "Deleted Votes" section. A full list of valid reasons are given in the Voting Policy. Basically, the votes are not popularity contests - reasons must be based on the merits of the article/picture/quote.

Sajin Komamaru Strange
"Have you never once found it strange? That a man whose greatest friend was killed... would join the very same organization... as the killer?"

I believe there has been a mistake made in who actually said this quote; to me it appears that the questions are instead posed by Kaname Tōsen at Sajin Komamaru, rather than the other way round, who wants an answer to why Sajin never questioned the reason to him joining the ranks of the Gotei 13 even after they killed his best friend.

OK yeah I see. I thought it was said by Sajin. The background threw me off. OK I'll fix it. Minato 22:26, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

My oppose to Aizen's quote
I respectfully protest the fact that it was removed. The rules for voting state that one can oppose a quote if "the quote is unremarkable or generic or has other issues (be specific)". I thought the quote was typical Aizen BS and have stated as much. Please, reinstate my vote to where it was! Weedefinition 08:12, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood the rules of voting. My understanding is that by unremarkable and generic, what is meant is that it cannot be distinguished from one character to another. Something along the lines of "That's my line" or "You are a 100 years away from being my equal" both of which are generic lines that have been sprouted by a number of characters. The fact that you clearly identify that quote as something typical of Aizen means that it is not generic but something unique to Aizen. At least, that's my understanding. Tinni  (Talk)  08:33, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

I was refering to the "other issues" part of the rule. If a quote sounds like the typical schtick of a character, than there's nothing new about it, is there? It's the same old same old attempt by Aizen to get under his opponent's skin before they even make a move. That's virtualy all he ever says. Weedefinition 17:31, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

While the "other issues" is a catch all clause, if the quote does show-off a character and it is not a word for word repeat of things he has said before, then it still count. In addition, while provocation is Aizen's forte the fact that he tailors the provocation to each individual opponent makes each of his provocation unique and speaks volumes about what is actually happening in the chapter. In this particular instance what he says encompasses even the chapter title, as such that quote can be seen as defining the chapters. In addition, I would like to point out the removal of your vote is consistent with another vote that was removed in the best picture poll that opposed the picture of Hitsugaya's bankai because Hitsugaya releases his bankai a lot. Just like that picture of Hitsugaya was not a recreation of an earlier picture, Aizen's quote was not copied from before. As such, you are going to have to find another reason to oppose that quote. Tinni  (Talk)  02:14, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm.. How about, "Although not a replica, this quote doesn't bring anything new to the character or the series and is therefore inferior to other quotes that do"? Weedefinition 02:38, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't it too early for 389 quotes?
I thought we were only using Ju Ni scanlations, but I'm not seeing 389 on their page. Weedefinition 17:38, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

They will be replaced with the Ju-Ni version when it comes out. It's not a big deal. People don't vote en-mass until close to the deadline anyway and they do have the option to move around votes if the Ju-Ni translations make the quotes uninteresting. Tinni  (Talk)  02:14, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
