There's a small problem with your argument.

We can not prove that a Bleach Wiki editor made any edits to the content in question. While I acknowledge the ownership of TV Tokyo and Tite Kubo to most of the images on the site, neither Bleach Wiki, nor its users, own any of the actual image content, save for perhaps your logo, which was created by the users themselves. I am, myself, familiar with Wikia's license. The only time we have to give credit to another user or wiki, is when actual content from that wiki is used. When that is the case with your site, we have Template:Bleach Wiki for that situation.

However, in regards to images, such as gifs, manga or anime screenshots, under US law, you are not the rightful owner of them, whether you edit them or not, therefore, Wikia's policy does not require me to attribute anything to you. To give credit to you, your wiki, or SunXia for the gifs in question, would be akin to me giving credit to a student who used a credible source, clipped some things out, and called it his own. It won't happen. If Wikia Staff needs to get involved, I am fully welcoming to their opinion and will do as they direct, but I do believe you have made an error in your own judgement in this case.

As for you recent example, concerning the article in which an artist was given credit for coloring an image of Hikifune, this is a different case. The artist in question, actually does the drawing themselves. Most of the time it is a tracing, which is turned into a line art, and then colored (I've done this myself numerous times), therefore it is the artist's actual work, which mimics Kubo's. That is deserving of credit. SunXia taking a clip from the anime and converting it to a gif file is little more than that - conversion. There is no editing involved.

Again, if you would like to dispute this with Wikia Staff, do let them know I will cooperate. Otherwise, I'm going to have to respectfully decline your request on the basis that it is really neither supported by the policy nor the law you have cited.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you.
