Nominations
To nominate a user, place, with the numbers being, from left to right, "Support", "Neutral", and "Oppose".

User's must have 50 mainspace edits for their vote to be registered. If they do not have the required amount, put users vote and leave a message in small font saying you have removed the vote.

Place your nominations under this line.

Bignicky9
If you'll know who made the Braeburn article I would nominate that person and if not how bout Darkman4- Huxley123.

I nominate (if it is possible) myself, Bignicky9, for User of the Month. This is simply my first try at it, and I feel I have done a pretty good job editing here at this Wiki. I have made many edits, the most recent being with the top voted articles. I edit from the largest and strongly built articles...to the stubs with very little information and no pictures. I make about 10 edits at most per day (to be honest), which is likely to be what most of you people make daily, not 100 or some ridiculous number. Anyway, I feel I have a chance to do something good for the Wiki community, and I'm taking it! But I will need some support.


 * Couple things Bignicky: #1, User of the Month is an award via nomination, so you need someone to nominate you. #2, you made this edit while you weren't logged in, so the history shows an IP making this edit.  The way to get recognized for a User of the Month is to be an active member of the community and to have a decent, even if modest, edit count to show for the effort.  Usually UotM is nominated by a member of the wiki who sees an outstanding wiki user.  Thank you for your edits, and keep up the good work!   04:58, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

In response to Creepydude's notice, I thank him for his advice. But I DID create this section when logged on, yet I may have lost internet connection right after(it happens on this PC). By the way, what is an IP? -Bignicky9

Chiafriend12
I nominate Chiafriend12 for user of the month, because he has put a lot of effort into improving this wiki lately. He has also started a user sub page User:Chiafriend12/Reviews. He has also made pages that otherwise would not have been made.  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?

Support as nominator.  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?  16:17, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment/Question - Although Chia is an excellent wiki contributor and even a sysop and bureaucrat, Chia has already been UotM twice, September '07 and July '08. Are you allowed to nominate someone who already has had it? Perhaps another unrecognized contributor would be a better choice. 16:59, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah your right. How about me ;) (joking).  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?

Users cannot be nominated for user of the month more than once.As such, this nomination is closed -- 19:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, seeing that this one is closed, sure? 20:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Callofduty4
I would like to nominate Callofduty4 for August's User of the Month. Callofduty4 has contributed to wiki since late December 2008. Since then he has consistently contributed to the wiki, with over 580 edits, 270 of which are main space. Cod4 has done a lot of the grunt work on the wiki including creating new pages and rewriting parts of articles when he sees needed. He also welcomes new editors and will communicate on talk pages to other users. He also cares about the wiki and participates in discussions involving featured articles and UotMs. Although he isn't perfect at times, he is named after a game of the year, Call of Duty 4. To view his contributions, go here; to view his edit count, go here. Good luck, --I Ross I 20:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Support - Per nomination. 20:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - User has made Several personal attacks and threats. An example can be seen here. Threatening a user for editing your user page is uncalled for.-- 02:05, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Haha, I think you would be pretty pissed off if I had put "U Suck" on the top of your user page, but you are right none the less, he is immature, but like I said "Although he isn't perfect at times" he still edits here and does a good job, I certainly wouldn't have nominated him if I didn't know of this beforehand. 05:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd laugh if that happened to me. Darkman 4 06:28, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you would, then you would have the final laugh in the Block Log, lolz 20:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - While he does do some good edits, he has some major problems with losing his temper. Some of his offenses include removing somebody else's vote on the "Article of the Month" page then insulting the user, his meltdown on the COD4 Custom Class talk page, crossed out a user's vote, then insulted his signature and him trying to act like an internet tough guy to sasiscool after sas vandalized his userpage. If anything, this makes him somebody we don't want to showcase. Darkman 4 06:28, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Again all immature, but we aren't voting to make him a sysop. To the first one, in my opinion, Kevin's comment didn't make a valid point for opposing, so what if we already had a similar article (Also, he didn't have 50 mainspace but I'm unsure if that counts there or not)? And the guy's user name was already Kevinsux so, I'll just leave it at that. The second, he was probably pissed off at CoD4 'cuz he gets killed a lot by those things, haven't you ever been angered or cussed at someone who uses a M4 with juggernaut and kills you three times in a row? Plus he had warned people of his meltdown already with the warning at the top and apologized for his harsh words at the bottom. And the last one, if you think about it, he didn't really do something wrong, he just did it in a completely immature. The user shouldn't have been voting in the first place as he was unfamiliar with voting, no 50 main space edits, didn't add his vote to the template, and didn't leave a "correct" signature. I still feel he has made his fair share of edits, but I understand he has his faults, perhaps in time he will learn how to correctly deal with a situation and he will become a better user with our help, as such I am displaying. 21:09, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, we don't really showcase our UotM's that much, a link to their user page in the middle of the main page and a "Special thanks" underneath. I really, really think we should improve that... 21:21, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * User of the month is someone we should be proud of. Understandably users make mistakes but they must first learn from these mistakes. Until Callofduty4 proves to us he has learned from his mistakes he does not belong on the featured users section regardless of his contributions. I do like the idea of an improvement to the featured user section, perhaps you could come up with some ideas and put them on the forums or in the war room?-- 00:41, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sure, I wouldn't mind making a forum post about ways to improve it, I can't think of anything spectacular but I'm sure the community could think of something. I see that CoD4 got banned for a week... 22:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I got banned. Well I deserved it. Anyways, we need to showcase the user of the month a bit more, per BigM. I feel we don't really showcase it enough at the moment. I have one idea: On the main page, we swap around the contents and featured user boxes. On some computers with small monitors (e.g laptops), the user actually has to scroll down to see the user of the month, which is not right.

Nomination Closed: rule above says user must not have been blocked in the past 2 months. I have.

Cod1
I nominate Cod1 for user of the month. He has gone from an unrecognized user to a regular editor in the space of 2 months. He is a valuable member of the community, as he constantly posts intelligent comments on talk pages and improves a lot of articles too. He does have a very large edit count, and the edits he makes make a big difference. One of his new "projects" includes welcoming users. I'm even tempted to nominate him for sysop. I wish you the best of luck. Callofduty4 23:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Support as nominator. Callofduty4

Support I think I'm a great contributor.

Support Cod1 is a great contributor.

Closed - As a blocked user, Callofduty4 does not have the privilege of nomination someone. In fact, his getting you to post it is circumventing his block which can lead to an extended block.-- 01:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Reopened I would like to reopen this, because I am now unblocked. 14:56, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Support - I have never seen someone more dedicated in welcoming new users. Job well done indeed! 20:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Just as an FYI, I'm going to put Cod1 up as soon as the 31st start in EST. I'd say the vote is essentially closed. Good job Cod1! Darkman 4 01:12, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
