Welcome to the Bleach work group, a task force that aims to organize, expand, clean up, and guide Bleach-related articles on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can simply start by editing any Bleach-related article, or join the project below and/or contribute to the discussion on the talk page.

You may also be interested in joining our parent project, WikiProject Anime and manga, which is dedicated to all anime and manga articles on Wikipedia.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

edit

Bleach is a Japanese manga and anime series. It began as a weekly serialized manga, then was adapted to an anime (with three movies, Bleach: Memories of Nobody, Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion and Bleach: Fade to Black, I Call Your Name), and spawned dozens of merchandise. Bleach has been translated into several other languages in many countries.

The scope of the project will extend to include the manga, anime, video games, and merchandise. More specifically, the project will include:

  • The manga, anime, feature films, video games, and music;
  • The Bleach universe in general;
  • Individual characters and other elements;
  • Use of mythology, geology, and other inspirations within the series; and
  • Bleach as a cultural phenomenon.

While not specifically part of the project (as such articles are not focused on Bleach), the following topics should be looked into as well:

  • Cast;
  • Crew;
  • Distribution companies; and
  • Production companies of Bleach related items.

Our scope does not include:

  • Fanfiction and fan culture;
  • Dōjinshi;
  • Any other form of speculation; and
  • Works with only a passing reference to Bleach.

Article structure

edit

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and Manga#Article_structure for inspiration.

For each page type of page, we have a "template" article. These articles should be the focus of structural improvements, which can then be imitated in other articles of the same type. Many articles are far too long and there is no over arching style. They also come under criticism for being "in-universe." Anything that can be written about from a real-world perspective should be written that way.

  • Character lists - Characters with too little information (Maki Ichinose, Sora Inoue, etc.) to warrant a full page should be in a single list page. The list page should separate characters by character type (human, shinigami, Quincy, etc.), or by location (human world, Soul Society, Hueco Mundo). The list should not be broken up based on manga-only characters, anime-only characters, movie-only characters, etc. Each entry should give a brief recap of their involvement in the series, character traits, as well as a quick note as to which media they appear in.
  • Character pages - Main and major characters with enough information to warrant an article should receive their own page. Each page should give a brief recap of their involvement in the entire series, describe character traits, abilities, and the like. Ideally these pages should also include "out of universe" information, such as character inspirations and development process.
  • Episode/Arc pages - Barring a project-wide consensus to the contrary, we will probably not make articles for each episode, as there are far too many Bleach episodes and not nearly enough to say about them. Thus far we have elected to, rather than creating a myriad of single episode articles, make a page for each story arc branching off from a master list which summarizes the anime as a whole, and this seems to be sufficient for our purposes.
  • Movies - Each feature film should have its own page.
  • Video games - Each Bleach video game series should have its own page. The English game names should be used only when the game has been released in English, and special editions of games should be included as sections in the regular game's article and should not have articles of their own.
  • Supplemental books - Supplemental books should be listed on the main page unless notable enough to have its own article (it is also a good idea to have enough information to write about before actually making the article).
  • "Other" - Pages beyond these types of pages will probably be unique.

Open Tasks

edit

Ultimate goals

edit
  • Create a well-organized corner of Wikipedia that is not ridiculed by the rest of the Internet; and
  • Gradually increase the quality of each section.

General Projects

edit
  • Clean up the synopsis section of every character.
  • Add reception information for major characters.
  • Get the Bleach (manga) article back to GA.

Smaller Task

edit
  • Make sure all the images have a fair use rationale.
  • Cite anything you can. See Wikipedia:When to cite for more information.
  • Make sure all the characters names are in English order, for example, Ichigo Kurosaki rather than Kurosaki Ichigo.
  • Change all instances of initial release and final release to shikai and bankai

Articles

edit

The following three pages have not yet been recognized as good or featured content, but are prime candidates for improvement. List is in rough order of how much work needs to be done.

  • Ichigo Kurosaki. Potential good article. Copyediting and a bit of sourcing should bring this up to the same level as Rukia's page.
  • Bleach (manga). Former good article. Requires only nominal fixes to deal with the problems that led to delisting. However, in the intervening time a good amount of new information has emerged as a result of Kubo's trip to the United States, so we should incorporate that as well before renominating it.
  • List of Bleach video games. Potential featured list I'm unsure how much work needs done here, having not looked over comparable FL's, but it doesn't look particularly hard.

Topics

edit
See also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Topic workshop

Finally, for the truly ambitious, we have the following potential Good and Featured topics:

  • Seasons of Bleach. Potential featured topic, and probably the easiest. Would require the following initial article statuses, and the subsequent achievement of featured status by each season after it aired in English: Featured. (Achieved)
  • Bleach media franchise. Potential featured topic, more difficult but certainly doable in the long term. Would require the following article statuses:
  • Characters of Bleach. Potential good topic. Honestly, this one's going to be nigh-impossible under current article structure because we have so many character pages. A Major characters of Bleach that excludes the secondary character lists is probably feasible though.
  • Bleach video games. Potential good topic, but probably not of particular interest to WP:MANGA. Not a bad idea though, since modern video games with English releases are generally easy to find sources for.
