KHWiki:Votes for featured users

Featured Users is a place to recognize the hard-working editors that make this wiki such a wonderful place. The rules and guidelines are a work-in-progress; if you have suggestions, please leave them on the Talk Page.

Nomination Guidelines

So, what makes a user eligible for nomination? Here are the guidelines:

• The user should be obviously hard-working. Any sort of edits, from spelling corrections to full page rewrites are acceptable, as long as the user makes quality edits.
• The user should not vandalize, or maliciously violate the policies of this wiki. You don't have to be perfect to be nominated, but any unhappiness you may have shouldn't disrupt the voting process.
• Nominations should put emphasis on the user's edits for the last month. While a user's lifetime edits should certainly be taken into account, it should be possible for a hard-working "newbie" to be the Featured User, if they outshine other editors in that month.
• Any editor who was nominated one month prior to this voting session is ineligible to be nominated this month.
• Any editor who currently holds a staff position is ineligible for this award.
• It's probably a good idea to be an editor of this wiki.
• Most importantly: the editor must have substantially improved the wiki in some way. That does not necessarily mean writing articles, but it does mean that whatever you nominate them for must have measurably moved us closer to being "done".

Nomination Process

So, there's an editor you think should be recognized. How do you make it happen?

For the first 21 days of a month, just post the name of the user, and sign under your nomination with your signature. If someone has already nominated the user you support, just second their nomination using the # symbol. To find a user's contributions, along with a complete breakdown of the namespaces that they have contributed to, simply enter their name into the edit count page.

On the first of the following month, the winner will receive a Featured User medal, which can be displayed on their user page, and the winner will be showcased on the wiki's front page along with a commemorative, custom description of the winner.

To keep any one person from sweeping the awards, any editor can only win once. Furthermore, to prevent sockpuppeting and other forms of cheating, only registered users may vote. If it is discovered that someone is being a poor sport and attempting to sockpuppet, their votes for the current election, as well as the next two, will be negated.

Voting

Each registered editor can make one nomination or seconding; they must put their vote and signature, (~~~~) underneath the nominee of their choice. If you want to explain what it is about the user that makes you agree with the nomination, just add a comment as if you were posting on a talk page. Please don't vote for yourself.

Nominations

April 2011

• UnknownChaser - A relatively new user, who has done some incredibly helpful work here, like the BBS Command articles, helping with the sync, and the Re:coded journal entries. Chitalian8 18:26, 2 March 2011 (EST)

• Soxra - For all the same reasons The_Inexistent listed in February, as well as Soxra's impressive work on the re-synching after the move. He's a great editor and carries more than his own weight around here. LapisLazuliScarab12:38, 6 March 2011 (EST)

1. --NinjaSheik 12:39, 6 March 2011 (EST)
2. Soxxeh is credit to team. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 15:27, 6 March 2011 (EST)
3. I have absolutely nothing but GREAT things to say about Soxra. No not because he's a good friend of mine, but because he is a fantastic editor all around. He is phenomenal with coding, he's extremely kind and helpful, and he's a very dedicated individual. He does great work and always has. I feel he without a doubt deserves to be featured in April. Roxas 18:45, 6 March 2011 (EST)
4. --Dark-EnigmaXIII 19:41, 6 March 2011 (EST)
5. Yes. When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry 20:11, 6 March 2011 (EST)
6. Moving my vote. Sorry for inconvienience. Also, sorry UnknownChaserDarkheart3
7. Soxra all the way  Shadow  23:05, 6 March 2011 (EST)

March 2011

• Chitalian - The newest and most prolific gnome on the wiki. He has made countless contributions and has grown immensely since he began working here. A great friend and editor, I nominate Chitalian8! KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 22:49, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

1. Dang it! I was gonna nominate Chitalian! ughh. Well I second it. He's one of the best gnomes I ever knew. He'd be there to make an edit all the time. This goes to you! You better cut the pizza in four pieces cause I'm not hungry enough to eat six 17:05, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

• The Inexistent – The_Inexistent is still relatively new to the Wiki, not having even been here a full year, but has quickly become a very reliable editor. He has contributed greatly to the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Weapon articles, done gnome work, and, of course, writes the description of the Featured User. But the thing that I feel most makes him worthy of this is the inspiring way he changed in the time he's been here. He was rather argumentative and even threatening when he first came here, but quickly became a shining example of why we should always give users another chance. So, to wrap up this paragraph, I nominate Light, Darkness, and What Lies Inbetween, The_Inexistent, as March's featured user.LapisLazuliScarab07:08, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Roxas doesn't really edit the mainspace, and Chitalian hasn't recently editing the 'space, either. TI, on the other hand... --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 20:21, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
2. Whoa, we got a lot of people in the running. Anyway, this guy has the potential, in my opinion, to be a mod. Chitalian8 02:07, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
3. Absolutely. --LegoAlchemist 07:01, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
4. He will edit an image whenever I ask him to, which includes sizing and fixing animated images. While Roxas is a very helpful and friendly user, Chitalian is a great person and editor, and Crono is a very nice guy, TI gets my vote for this month. Luck to you, TI! Soxxeh 7:21am, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
5. Organization13 17:24, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
6. Wow, some competition this month. The_Inexistent 's built up a load of quality mainspace edits in a really short time, so I think he deserves this. Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 20:18, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
7. Everything's already been said... ~Lilienne♫^^ 17:13, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
8. LevL 15:54, 14 February 2011 (EST)

• RoxasXIIILK - A new editor on here who did tons of work. He's very helpful and a awesome friend! So everyone should vote for him! --Sac said you should join the darkness! 17:29, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Roxas has been the guy that's helped me and pretty much everyone else on this wiki, even with rarely going on the mainspace. That's definitely saying something. RoxasNobody 01:15, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
2. He has been really helpfull, even without editing in the main space, he is the one who welcome new user and help them understand the mechanics and coding of the wikia, and those user later become a part of the main space, even if he isn't. I think that's pretty helpfull. Besides, he is a kind fella.--Dark-EnigmaXIII 01:30, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
3. As already mentioned, he is REALLY helpful. Mainspace aside, he is a great help to users and he fully deserves my vote! FINALREST 01:35, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
4. Roxas definitly deserves my vote. He has helped me countless times with images, Talk Bubbles, even general info about the wiki. So what if he dosen't edit the mainspace? Everything else he does, definitly makes up for it.Darkheart3
5. Roxas has helped me out heaps since i got on here, if anyone deserves it, its him DarkestShadow 06:46, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
6. If I do not return my vote. I can't (and most probably won't) sleep well at night because of guilt.... --Guess who it is? 02:01, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
7. He helps basically everyone, even if he doesn't go on the mainspace very much. But those are still quality edits, aren't they? And he's dedicated! AS IF! 17:08, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
8. Wow, great nominations this month. However, as Roxas here taught me pretty much all of the coding for talk and user boxes, he has to get my vote. :D Superdog1123 06:27, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
9. Helpful person and my first friend here. --Sove 13:06, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
10. Great at image work and very helpful to users. He goes out of his way to make a user is happy. LightRoxas 15:10, 14 February 2011 (EST)

• SilverCrono - He definitely deserves this trophy. Silver has over two-thousand edits and constantly edits the wiki. He undo's vandal edits and knows the do's and don'ts of Wikia. He's contributed on important matters, and always knows what goes on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. Vote for SilverCrono! [Ѧüя◎ґ]

1. You know. I have to say. Double Crono all the way across the site. --Swordsy 01:57, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
2. The wiki is looking for some contributions to this wiki. To add more information here. Sorry, Roxas, but Silver contributed lots of info on this wiki.~TheTalkingKeyblade
3. Per K0 BlackSoulBlade 02:24, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
4. Even though Roxas manages to help others, he's not helping THE wiki himself. SilverCrono however has an equal amount of Talk and Mainspace edits. My vote goes to SilverCrono! And as the guidlines state "The user should be obviously hard-working. Any sort of edits, from spelling corrections to full page rewrites are acceptable, as long as the user makes quality edits. " Roxas has only has 2! edits, thus illegible to this position. When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry 07:04, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
5. Dang it I was going to vote for Crono. Anyway, it's your tiem to shine Crono, knock 'em dead and suck their c***s *shot*. Waffles are great. The17Master 17:03, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
6. Huddah huddah huh! maggosh 01:06, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
7. We're wiki-buddies and have interests in common. Armageddon11 22:52, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
8. Very interesting user, and one of the first people that I got to know here. He also makes extremely valuable contributions. Sorry, Roxas. 快一点 给我 冰淇凌 ！！！ 12:22, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
9. Pea14733 ---- [闇]
10. Giving recognition where due. Roxas, your time will come, and I know it, but Crono has been on long enough to show his mettle. ^Tambours_Tonnerre Ensemble ! 15:41, 14 February 2011 (EST)
11. Main reason stolen borrowed from TNE. Nice job, Crono...except for that obsession of goats *I still have them* ^_---Xion4ever 19:09, 24 February 2011 (EST)
12. --^DTN 02:53, 26 February 2011 (EST)

February 2011

• Soxra - A rather new editor here. He is a whiz at coding and image editing, and he h asrecentlym done a ton of work, by going through all of the commands and bringing them to match the template. A great friend, and a great person in general, I nominate Soxra. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 15:43, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Ohh... I can't decide, I'll just get Sorxa. Sorry Erry, maybe next time. I would vote for myself but, I can't. Sorxa is a fun guy to be around with. We are huge Ventus fans. --ANX219
2. Great guy, who helps you if needed. Good friend and did, as The Inexistent said, very much work since he has been here. Sac said you should join the darkness! (UTC) 17:58, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
3. Absolutely, he's got so much potential. Chitalian8 22:48, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
4. Despite his heretical votes in The Keyblade War, Soxra is a very good editor, which is all the more impressive considering he's relatively new in comparison to the past nominees and winners. More power to you! LapisLazuliScarab22:50, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
5. He help me with the rewriteing of the BBS commands and for that he gets my vote UnknownChaser 22:54, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
6. Wow. I remembered when I welcomed the guy. Never knew he'd make it this far. Man, time flies. You better cut the pizza in four pieces cause I'm not hungry enough to eat six 23:05, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
7. Great friend, even greater editor. He helped me with templating my userbox, and also knows a lot of wiki coding. I really admire him. My vote goes to you, Soxra! 快一点 给我 冰淇凌 ！！！ 06:38, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

• Erry - Great guy and friend in general, quite the expert in photoshop, and he contributed a bunch of great ripped images like treasure chests. He can also do hacks and he was the one to discover the name "Will's Cage". And thus I nominate him for February's featured user. The17Master 16:30, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. I don't know Soxra that well and Erry was very helpful in the wiki--Xabryn 22:45, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

• LevL - An all-around good editor and Wiki Gryphon that has received a staff nomination multiple times. He's a good vandal fighter, does gnome work, and is a extremely helpful toward new users.

5. What Chitalian said, not only the Joint Struggle but the Mirage Arena as a whole. Erry^{MerryChristmas!}

03:05, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
