I largely disagree with that claim I proudly present my eveidence...Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki:Manual of Style. I only have a few more loose ends to tie up, but I did get a majority of the Manual done to a degree that I am quite proud of. As you can see, it not only helps new users build pages, it also sets guidlines for what they should look like, how users should behave, what users should be doing, etc. And yes, I most certainly did include grammatical correctness into the Manual of style because I am tired of seeing articles like Ace Korimachi (?). This is something that I have been meaning to do for a while and I am just glad I finally found the time to do so. Had I known you made a blog about it, I would have mentioned my desire from the start so I must appologize on that regard.

Additionally, I would also like to address the issue that Z brought up, about adding it to the automated welcome system used by the wiki for new users. Does anyone know how to change it? I have looked all over the wiki and I could not find it anywhere. >_<

Aside from all of this, I would like to bring up one of my concerns that I am sure will get me into a steaming hot, deep boil and that is the issue of adminship. I have noticed that, since the begining of this year or so, that User:Mangetsu20 and User:Achrones150 seem to be rather inactive, only coming on every few days or so to do their War of Four story. I do not want to single anyone or out or anything, but they never really seem to do any of their duties associated with their divisions, or as administrators for that matter. Now, I am not one to point fingers at others for my inactivity, but my longest streak of inactivity was just under a month and that was because my grandmother had passed away. After that, I had returned and begun conducting my every day duties as an admin, although that damn newsletter continues to illude my grasp. I do not think they are doing as much as they can as adminsitrators in order to serve the community and it is sad to see because they both used ot be super active. Christ, they were some of the first people I created stories with way, WAY back when. I know life tends to come at you at the damndest of times and it sucks, I know, but maybe it is best if they resign and allow someone with more time on their hands to take the reigns for them so that those duties can be executed instead of neglected.

I am unsure of how to do this, though: maybe we could hold voting in a blog post to see what the other users think. We could use Polls, like the ones on the main page, top keep everything discrete, and ask a simple question, like "Do you think Achrones and Mang should remain as admistrators?" I mean, I hate to be the one to be the one to bring this matter up, but I think that something should be done. Maybe all of the admins, escept you (Sei) and Ten could be removed adn we could hold site wide nominations and votings, just to wipe the slate clean and what not. Either way, this is something that needs immediate attention.

I would also like to be tasked, if I could, with the retweaking of administrative responsibilities on the Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki:Thirteen Court Guard Squads page. I feel that some of the divisions, particularly the fourth and fifth divisions, could be better suited dealing with other matters. Lets face it, I did two or three copies of the newsletter, and the response was largely unresponsive: in fact, my newest blog post newsletter was only responded to by SCB and myself. The fourth division is probably worse, though, since the whole admisitration is tasked with the same job as a chat mod. This is largely a waste of time and I would rather see these adminstrations put to good use, including a division designed specifically to enforce the new MoS.
