{{Azul|time=01:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=The staff of the KHWiki hasn't been as stable as I'd like it to be, myself included. People have been coming and going, missing out on important conversations and things like that. I had been getting input from several different users on "if we need new staff" or not. I have come to the conclusion that this would be a good idea. Myself as well as others have discussed nominees, the users listed below are picked because of their contributions. The top editor with the most votes will be Admin and the next 3 will be Mods. "'''Please vote based on who you'd think would do a good job as a staff member, and not if the user has or hasn't been nice to you. Also take into account edits and activity.'''" Nominees are able to vote, but not for themselves of course ;} }}

Xiggie is truly excellent with the things behind the Wiki, such as templates, helping Users, and images. He's responsible for getting use great PhotoShop cut-outs from all of the latest scans! Seriously, his shot of Experiment 221 was up ''quick''. My vote does to him, without-a-doubt.

{{Azul|time=01:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=With this, I'd like to announce that when my school starts, August 31, I'll be leaving the wiki. I usually do this when schools starts, it gets pretty hectic. I'll be back when it calms down, usually around the end of November. I'd also like to say that everyone listed here, even if you not selected, you're all recognized as excellent editors.}}
{{Firaga44|text=Xiggie and ENX deserve this the most both make good edits both are very trustworthy if they don't deserve this then well no ones does and ninjasheik would make a awesome staff member to she knows a lot about kingdom hearts i just can't decide between the three of them|time=01:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)}}
{{KrytenKoro|emotion=devious|While I have to vote for HoO, due to his lead in amazing work and dedication to getting the work done, even when it's unglamorous, Urutapu is also an extremely competent editor, and well-versed in Japanese and wiki coding, both things we really need. DTN is a similarly diligent editor. Any of these who don't get the positions should at least get some kind of wiki-medal.|01:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)}}
{{GS|text=I've always felt like Kryten deserved an admin position.  While we sometimes disagree on certain changes, we usually come to some sort of conclusion.  As long as he listens to opinions then I think he'd do a great job.  As for my second choice, I'm still trying to figure that out.  I'm not sure that another admin is really necessary.|time=02:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)}}

{{Firaga44|happy=and a wiki medal that's not a bad idea --Firaga44 02:40, 28 August 2009 (UTC)}}
{{Azul|time=03:01, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=GS, I was also second guessing myself on that one. Maybe just one Admin and 4 mods? Also, though NinjaSheik has been a vandal fighter and ENX has also edited, the others have also done '''ALOT''' of editing to deserve their spots as a nominees. Saying that NS and EO deserve it the most makes it seem you are not paying close attention to the others contributions and think their thousands of edits/main edits mean nothing. Also, if I could vote a second time, it would be for Urutapu as well.}}
{{NinjaSheik|sad=...I'm....No, never mind.}}
{{KrytenKoro|Even then, Azul, one of the expected duties of the admins and mods is to be a welcoming face that helps new editors get into the right habits. While any editor ''can'' do it, it's expected of the "high-ranked" editors. That's also something worth considering.

Also, Azul, the Sitenotice doesn't actually link here.}}
{{Azul|time=04:17, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=Of course, but when Firaga said that '''no one else''' deserved it, I wanted to emphasize on how '''everyone''' deserved it and should be recognized by reminding her why everyone else got their spots. Guess it came out wrong.

Ummm, eh? It links here for me.}}

{{Number XXI|text=I voted for ENX because he's my friend, and also a very competent editor. If i could choose a second though, it would definitly be Kryten. He seems to be the most proffensional editor, and even though I don't know him that well, I'd trust him with anything having to do with the wiki. The first time I heard Kryten wasn't already an admin, I was shocked. Heres to you Kryten }}

{{yer mom|time=18:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=My vote goes for HoO, he's an awesome editor, not only in main space but also in files and categorizing, he's always willing to accept his mistakes and is incredibly active even if (I believe) he started school already. Plus his name is sexy.  My first voete would've gone to Kryten... but he has too many votes already and therefore is likely to become an admin ^^. But if we're allowed to vote again I'm totally voting for him >.>

Oh and that Awexome typo in my vote... totally on purpose *shifty eyes*}}
{{EO|time=19:04, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|talktext=I personally would vote Kryten as admin, DTN for a mod, as well as Xiggie. They go above and beyond, thinking outside the box. I barely scratch the surface. I thank those who voted for me, and I am deeply flattered. I don't feel I fit the bill, so it's best you save your praise.}}
{{Firaga44|happy=i change my mind i'm gonna vote for DTN if i had a second vote would be for ENX}}
{{HOO|time=19:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=I am honored by this and also by a certain someone calling my name "sexy." I voted for Kryten because he is one of the best editors on here, but I would like to say that Xiggie, DTN and Urutapu are also very worthy of either becoming admins or mods.}}
{{Xiggie|time=20:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|talk=Ok, I've decided to vote for HoO, because he is a great editor and so forth (I explained myself  pretty well in Icelandic up there :P)

{{Firaga44|text=me to but a friend helped me with that so i'm voting for DTN he fits the bill he'd be a great admin he does a lot to help the wiki}}

{{BebopKate|time=21:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=Where have we heard that one before, eh Kryten? ^_-

I apologize for not being as active lately; blah blah job blah blah family blah blah.  I'll probably jump in more when ''358/2 Days''' comes out.  And I try to check the forums and deletions page at least once a night for any big things going on.  If there's something I miss, give me a big ol' bonk on the head on my talk page.

I, for one, welcome our new <s>overlords</s> admins and mods whoever they may be.  Everyone up there is honestly a great choice, and I can see them doing great things as staffers.  It's going to be a tough decision.}}
{{KrytenKoro|emotion=murder|To ensure that she doesn't do it again, I've buried the body. We're in the clear.}}
{{Azul|time=22:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=Lolz, I told my sister if she ever does something like that, I'd "accidentally" throw her iPod out the second story window. She has visited the IRC though.}}
{{Firaga44|text=yeah we've seen her}}
{{DTN|time=23:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|text=I apologize that I couldn't be here earlier; house remodel and other events NOT RELATED TO DISSIDIA have kept me away for a few days.

Thanks to those who voted for me. I just want to say, though, that I'm not the most deserving one here. Being totally honest <small>and hopefully not concited-sounding</small>, I think that I do deseserve some spot on the Staff, and <u>I would happily accept one</u>. However, there are some Users who are much more deserving than me. Kryten probably deserves it the most, although my vote doesn't go to him because that I think that Kryten is bound to become an admin any day.

ENX, Marexl, and NS, you are all good editors, but the most important thing about being a member of the Staff in past Staff elections has been having Mainspace edits. I actually remember that something came up restricting Xiggie from becoming a mod in the distant past because he didn't have many Mainspace edits. Compared to the Users such as myself, HeartOfOblivion, and Urutapu, you three just fall in comparison. You are all great editors, but perhaps now isn't the right time for adminship.

And now, for my votes: my vote without-a-doubt goes to Xiggie. A highly-overlooked part of this Wiki is the images, templates, and helping other Users. Xiggie is excellent at all of these, and has been helping out this Wiki for a long time. In the event of Xiggie getting frozen to death <small>(He is in Iceland after all!)</small>, I would vote for HeartOfOblivion. He has done so much in such a short amount of time compared to lots of the rest of us; such dedication deserves a spot on the Staff. In the event that HeartOfOblivion has a seizure from playing Dissidia too much and dies, I vote for Urutapu. Another overlooked part of the Wiki-work is the Japanese nihongo in the pages, and Urutapu is resonsible for lots of it. He is another very deserving member. I actaully really wish that he would create a User page, so that he can be on the Community List and be recognized for all of his work!

Again, thanks to all who vote for me. I hope that those who are truly most deserving are the Users who receive spots on the Staff. Sincerely, DTN.}}
{{Marexl|time=00:32, 29 August 2009 (UTC)|text=I never said I wanted to be admin. It would be nice but even I know that title is too big for me. I think (not sounding conceited) it would be better if I was Mod, DTN}}
{{EO|time=23:47, 28 August 2009 (UTC)|talktext=I already know that. But if someone votes...you can't really change your mind. Even if I don't win either position, there is always next year and so on. I'm honored just to be nominated. While this has been stressful on me, I am not quitting. And congrats to all nominated.}}
{{KrytenKoro|I just want to make it clear - this ''is'' just a vote on a website. We shouldn't let it get us down, even if the winner does get to share Paopu with Kairi.

EDIT: Darn it. I'll go set her on fire again.}}
{{Firaga44|text=your sister still at it?and the paopu you better not mean me since i use kairi the most as a talkbubble}}
{{BebopKate|time=04:16, 29 August 2009 (UTC)|text=Oh, Kryten, don't set your sister on fire.  Gas is expensive.  Besides, I find flesh-eating ants to be far more effective. ^_^

And yes, remember as the wiki evolves, there will always be room for new admins.  This wiki has grown so much in just the last year-and-a-half since I became a member, and with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' franchise healthy and kicking, there will be plenty more to come.}}

{{MM841|19:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC)|After reading all of this, I think that Xiggie, HoO, DtN and Urutapu would all make great members of staff. And well, Kryten would probably be an awsoem admin.
