message: I've been noticing that in some (or most) Bleach characters I've come across have "Hair color" in their Bleach character infobox.

For those who don't know, Loituma Girl (aka "Leekspin") is a flash animation and internet meme which features Orihime. It's only peripherally related to the manga itself, yes, but it is in the Bleach category so I thought it was worth mentioning here. --tjstrf talk  00:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: For the List of Bleach episodes page, I honestly see little difference between it and the current FA-list List of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes, aside from a more informative lead and added sources.

message: The guideline on spoiler warnings, WP:SW, has been rejected. The spoiler warning templates still exist however, but their usage is currently determined solely by user discretion. I would like to collect opinions on what qualifies as a spoiler in Bleach-related articles, so that we can hopefully weather this policy flux without any editing disputes.
I personally find their usage silly for anything but the most major of plot twists, especially since the online Bleach community is generally all up to date on the manga via scanlations. I recognize, however, that there is a large English fanbase that would probably appreciate being given fair warning before we dump things like Aizen on them. The current progress of the English anime would probably make a good meter of what can be safely detagged, as it is the slowest of the available formats. At present, the English anime is just past Ichigo vs. Renji 2, so anything before that is probably not a spoiler. --tjstrf talk 21:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Alright, I'm going to be needing some assistance with this, since someone is going about vandalizing a certain something out.  When this (http://usera.imagecave.com/WalkerTheRipper/WW/variation2.png) was discovered on Heat the Soul 5's character page, it was assumed (correctly, sort of) to be Ulquiorra's romanized last name.  But, something else came up: http://usera.imagecave.com/WalkerTheRipper/WW/variation1.png  That is from The 3rd Phantom character page.  Several things point to that as the correct romanization: Kubo Tite himself is designing the plot and characters for The 3rd Phantom.  And, lastly, the pronunciation. "Cifer" sounds more like "cypher", where as "Schiffer" is far more so on par with the actual pronunciation.  Now, I've cited those, posted them in the discussion thread, and changed it back to Schiffer here and there, but something keeps reverting it...So, I'd much appreciate it if I can get a helping hand or two here.  ^^;;  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.188.25.23 (talk) 08:13, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A discussion has started at Talk:Bleach (manga)#Bleach name concerning the article name and a request that it be renamed from Bleach (manga) to Bleach (series).  The current name would seem to stem from our MoS listing manga, anime, etc as disambiguation names, and Bleach's first work being the manga series.  However, some feel it should be disambiguated with series instead, as they feel manga gives the impression there is a separate anime article.  I feel more folks should be involved in the discussion, because the outcome could potentially bring the need for a change in our MoS's naming section.

message: From discussion at the episode list talk page:
:Where do the arc names and the list of episodes they contain come from? If that info is from the Japanese DVDs, shouldn't the Arrancar arc end at 131 and episodes 129 on be the Arrancar: Hueco Mundo Infiltration arc? 
:According to store listings at neowing.co.jp, the DVDs of episodes 110 - 131 (link) list the arc as "破面 出現" which translates to "Fracture Face Appearance" which would be listed here as "Arrancar Appearance". Likewise, the two listings that contain episodes 132 - 139 (link 1 and link 2) have the title "破面・虚圏 潜入", which translates to "Fracture Face . Empty Circle Infiltration", which would be listed as "Arrancar Hueco Mundo Infiltration"
:I'd like to if this information is relevant before before making a series of somewhat major edits and page moves. --FortMax (talk) 21:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Though we should consider making a new arc (would maybe be from 166 onwards), I suggest to wait for the following (probably) 4 episodes in April to consider any arc arranging. Though Infiltration is a neat word itself, it can't reach enough episodes to fill it up. (Based on what has been decided and reached since the start of this article.) We are looking more of: "Hueco Mundo: The Assault", "Hueco Mundo: Battles Commences", "Hueco Mundo: Shinigami versus Hollow", "Hueco Mundo: Saving Karakura (or Orihime)", "Hueco Mundo: Aizen's Scheme", "Hueco Mundo: Countdown", etc. Just my thoughts, if you still are determined to split everything up, it'll definatly take alot of work and conversation-battles. Ge4ce (talk) 09:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that episode 155 is the start of another arc according to this listing. This arc is titled "破面 激闘篇" literally "Fracture intense fighting". I'm not sure how it would actually be translated. "Arrancar Battles Arc", Arrancar Intense Battles Arc"? Anyway, this split is inline with Bleach arcs usually having about 20 episodes. The first Bount arc seems to be the one exception. Anyway, the arcs should be split ar they are in the official releases; the fine points of the names can be taken care of by a bot after the sames are settled on. Perhaps I should bring this up on the Bleach Project talk page? --FortMax (talk) 19:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The movies' english and japanese names 

message: Something needs to be done about your guidelines. I have been told that you go by viz for everything and that anything in the japanese media is only to be given a sidenote and yet I see you have up to date information about Ichigo and losing his powers yet Viz has not released those chapters yet so you obviously had to go by the japanese media for that. The guidelines need to be changed to say either you use exclusively viz or you use exclusively the japanese media because they are in constant contradiction. The issue that brought me here is that the names for the espada are wrong. In Japan, a databook called MASKED was released. It contained clearly printed out romanizations of most characters. The Espada were corrected on chapter title pages years ago and yet viz does not include these in their releases. Kubo will draw a characters name, romanized on many covers but viz takes them out. So the thing here is do you want to go with the outdated viz that is only at 30 released volumes out of 48 or do you want to go with the japanese media which is updated weekly because you can't go with viz on some things and the japanese media on the others.--150.212.72.23 (talk) 18:35, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
