RuneScape:User of the Month

Some users have contributed a considerable amount to the wiki, both in article content and in discussions. If you think a user deserves to be recognised, you can nominate them to be user of the month here.

Criteria
There are only a small number of rules that have to be followed:


 * You should notify the user you have nominated them. They may not want to be nominated so it's good to let them know.
 * Don't nominate anyone who has already been an user of the month.
 * Nomination starts the month prior to the designated featured user month (for March, nomination is in February). A user of the month is determined the day before the month is over.
 * Oppose votes are not acceptable. Formerly, oppose votes were accepted but didn't count towards the decision, but often only caused controversy, as the opposes were often rude and lead to back and forth fighting. For this reason, opposes (or any votes not labeled "Support" in that matter) are no longer accepted, so please simply do not vote if you don't think that a candidate deserves to be user of the month. Adding oppose to a vote nomination may result in a two hour block.
 * If a candidate leaves the RuneScape Wiki during their month of nomination, they will be disqualified from that month.
 * Voters are required to have a minimum of 50 mainspace edits. (per discussion)
 * Candidates may not self-promote their own nominations, be it in their signatures, talk page, userbox, etc.
 * Candidates may not vote for their own nomination
 * Absolutely no in-game advertising about UotM by candidates, be it in PM, Clan Chat, etc. If this occurs, screenshots of chat may be used to provide grounds to disqualify the candidate.

Soldier_1033
Support: 17

Discussion
I nominate Soldier_1033 to be March's UotM. He is a very active and responsible admin. He constantly dealing with vandalism and blocking vandals. He is very kind and actively contributes in community discussions. Soldier has been a trustworthy and very dedicated member of this wiki and should be chosen to be next month's UotM for his countless acts of editing here on the wiki. -- 02:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - as nominator. -- 02:31, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Now call me a hypocrite, or tag me with insult, as I am a co-nominee in the abolishment of the User of the Month on the Yew Grove (which has not yet been agreed upon by the community, which is why until this may happen, I choose to vote in the event it is not abolished), I am promoting the abolish on the bases that users are becoming hung up on receiving recognition and the point of the User of the Month needs to be re-established. With this said, I must however offer my full support to Soldier. He is a very close wikia friend, and I have learnt much, much from him. He is a great contributor, offers much help and aid, and is a very dedicated person to this wikia. He is in clear point of opinion, one of the best users this wikia has had to date among many others and is not one of those users that is going to get hung up on attaining this recognition. He clearly deserves it though. Thanks Soldier for all you have done. You are a great friend on the Wikia and in game. Keep up the great work! 03:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Perhaps finding a new home for the feature would be more to your liking bonzi? 03:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that would be a temporary solution, but it would not fully address it as users would still be looking for the recognition. I do think that removing it from the mainspace but bring down it's hype quite significantly though, thanks for the input :) 03:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support- Solider has always been helpful to me in explaining how to help me become a better editor,and was very friendly to me when i was new to the wikia. -- 11:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC) Support He is a awesome guy, because be first is the one that introduced me and to the wikia and many others. Secondly he helped me on my userpage :). Lastly, he does a lot of edits to the wikia like looking for vandalism, fixing errors, and helping people. 16:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support. I simply believe Soldier is a very trusted user, that's all that matters. Jediadam4 (Talk)   20:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Active, mature, and always attempts to remain calm at all times.-- 19:29, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * He attempts to remain calm? What, does he fail at keeping his cool? :P 06:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Soldier is a very nice editor and user here. He's done a lot. 06:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Support - Soldier is very helpful on the Wiki and he has been very kind to everyone here. 16:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Soldier is a great editor and one of my new friends on wiki. And I even helped him with some vandalism! P.S. I got enough edits! 01:05, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Support. Doucher4000 17:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Support from me. :-)  05:12, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

troppuS! -- 03:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Friendly, trustworthy, and hardworking. 13:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - I started writing a nice hefty paragraph about why I'm supporting Soldier 1033 this month, but I the reasons were larger than life: I just couldn't put them into words. Oh yeah, and my caffeine's wearing off. Shakes Soldier 1033's hand, then falls over snoring. 01:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well, what can I say. Soldier is always there to revert vandalism, ban users that deserve a ban and waiting for someone to join and create a 'Welcome Page.' Answering questions to the best of his knowledge. Full support. :) 01:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - A great fellow wikian who keeps those vandals at bay, makes the new wikians feel welcome, and is very involved in the community in every way. - 02:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Stinkowing
I nominate Stinkowing for User of the Month. He's been around for a long time and has made many great edits on this wiki. He's a trustworthy administrator and participates in community discussions. I've definitely enjoyed his company and his personality is great for everyone around him on this wiki.

Support - as nominator. 20:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - As mush as I like Soldier, Im gonna have to go with Stinkowing, He's a great editor, and he's good on the forums. --   C  O  L O >  22:23, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Support Although closing my Rfa Stinkowing Is a good Contributer and deserves to be uom.

Comment Rswfan, you only have 4 mainspace edits. I believe that means you can't vote? -- 00:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Support per Soldier. 21:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Per C Teng, XD 08:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Per C Teng 08:39, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Comment - I think this post could be of general interest in deciding if Stinkowing deserves to be UotM or not. Wejer   20:35, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want to use that to make your decision then take note of the fact that there was no consensus to desysop. 23:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Nonetheless, the accusiations against Stinkowing have been dire and disturbing. In an able admin/bureaucrat/sysop I except a certain amount of maturity, and I cannot say that, after reading the post, I feel confident about Stinkowing's way of handling things. Therefore I cannot support him as UotM. [[Image:'s_scroll.png]] Wejer  [[Image:Feather.PNG]] 14:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Update - It seems like some people would take my criticism as an 'oppose vote'. This is not the case, as I am not trying to make an anti-vote. I am not even planning to vote for any other of the current guys at the moment. I just thought that the post would be of interest to the of the community. To me, the whole truth is better than just a slice of it. [[Image:'s_scroll.png]] Wejer  [[Image:Feather.PNG]] 16:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Wejer for your clarification. I appreciate your candor and community spirit. --Hatchenator 16:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Support Go Stinko! Kevin-020 22:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Stinko is a very dedicated user, and also one of our few users from 2006 or before. 06:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * How many people are you allowed to support? :s 06:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Check above in the "Criteria" subsection. No limit lulz. 06:15, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess I've just never seen someone vote twice. :P 06:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Me Either. I will propose it to the possible changes. If you look at February's UotM, a user who posted two votes changed to do only 1 vote. 07:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Now that I can vote for many people :p 15:30, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Great user. Though, he hasn't been very active for a while now...--. 15:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Hapi007
I nominate Hapi007 again. He keeps on editing this wiki and updating every little corner with the latest image. Hapi knows what to do, how to take images, and if somethings wrong with his image, he asks nicely to others if they would fix it. He is a great part of the community, and so very important for this wiki. That is why i nominate Hapi007 again.
