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.

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

March 2011

• Chitalian - The newest and most prolific gnome on the wiki. He has made countless contributions and has grown immensly 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! Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded 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 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. I dunno, he just seems the one that does a lot of work from the three, so I choose him. Erry 21:24, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

• 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)

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! 12:34, January 25, 2011 (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)

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. ^{What mattered most} _{was remembered least} 16:30, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

4. Awesome guy working behind the scenes. --^DTN 22:23, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

• KingdomKeyDarkside - A great friend to everyone, and one of the creators of the community favorite Mirage Arena. He has also made talk bubbles for a plethora of users. How about a community favorite for this month? KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON.

1. He deserves it, don't forget that he's put so much work into the Joint Struggle. Chitalian8 21:14, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

03:05, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

1. He's a friend to everyone. Talk to him for five minutes and it's incredibly difficult to not like the guy. Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded
