How to nominate a user
Simply create a level 3 headline (===) below the Candidates headline. A user will be chosen by the beginning of the new month.

Chiafriend12
I'd like to nominate Chiafriend12, Chia is a Sysop on the wiki who i'm pretty sure everyone knows. He has over 2000 edits, nearly 2500, over 500 mainspace. He is a well respected user here on RSW --Boywithbrain 15:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Wait a little, Boywithbrain. We don't start voting on the featured user for July until June. I would also have to oppose this one. Yes, Chia is well-known, but we usually feature users who have done excellent work recently, maybe created or rewrote excellent articles or worked to make the articles detailed, descriptive, and high quality. Nothing against Chia, but I haven't seen any exceptional work from him, just his regular helping out occasionally. 500 mainspace edits isn't a huge figure either =/ although Chia tends to help out more on forums, with vandalism, or with new users on talk pages. 18:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I SUPPORT 'cuz Chia is teh bomb!! I think I should be featured because I've been nominated, what, 3 times now? That seems to mean that I'm wanted to be featured. 23:11, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Support by order of the KING! Chia, I would like to thank you got being always there to holla at, we tha best. Blankothe3rd 23:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose - Chia you've only been nominated twice, including this time. Also I oppose on the following grounds: 1. We're still in MAY! for crying out loud (WTF guys?!?) 2. He hasn't made any noteworthy edits currently and 3. Notice how it's basically the same people getting nominated over and over again?. It's almost like a personality cult. Chaoticar 05:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I just want to say that I've been nominated here, here, and here. 14:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

50|*|*0|27 jaj 50 [#14!!!!!!!!! 5j(_)g3[1^/
 * Translation: Support Yay go chia!!!!!!!!! Syugecin

Oppose, there's many reasons. One is that when I asked something from him, he didn't answer. 19:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you list some more? The more resons to oppose the more things I can improve on. And what did you ask me? Could you re-ask me? 20:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If I list more, that would be an attack, and it's old thing that I don't need to ask you anymore. 08:40, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not an attack if I want to hear it, which I want to. 02:52, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Neutral  Moogel   Talk 05:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Chaoticar, are you still opposing? It's June now. 17:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral now. Chaoticar 01:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose. I don't like Chia's behaviour on RFA lately. He opposes them because of silly reasons like self nominations, editcount, and the number of people we have as sysops. And when he didn't get his way, he quit the wiki. That isn't setting a very good example, since the uotm is supposed to be what a wiki user should behave like. This page isn't a popularity contest. Dtm142 19:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - Meh, doesn't really deserve it. Acts really stupid on RFA, as stated above by Dtm, and opposes for silly reasons. People nominate him just because he socializes a lot but he really doesn't do much to the actual content of the wiki. Main edits aren't everything so I guess that isn't the very best but I have more reasons why I oppose. He has a small habit of spamming people's talkpages with stupid headings such as "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" that have absolutely nothing to do with the conversation and he quit still holding a grudge on users. One of his reasons for quittng was that, in his oppinoin, too many users who were unworthy were being sysopped (implying that he is more worthy than other people). I don't really think he desrves it. 23:22, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose now He's left. No user who isn't here should be feat. 23:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * SUPER MEGA ULTRA OPPOSE - As Syugecin said, I'm not here. But I haven't "left", I'm just on WikiBreak. 22:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Then I guess that settles it, the candidate himself has withdrawn his nomination. This nomination is now closed, although it can be reopened if Chiafriend12 himself changes his mind. Dtm142 18:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Oddlyoko

 * Support - 8
 * Neutral - 0
 * Oppose - 0

Great member of the community. Actually came back after a long break! --Whiplash 15:29, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm honored! Oddlyoko talk 00:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

SOFT SUPPORT - My role model. Plain and simple. 21:03, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Remeber, don't vote until June starts. Just because it's protected to sysops, which is the highest level of protect, doesn't mean sysops can vote. 23:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Support Can't think of a better person to be UOTM. Tesfan 13:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Weak Support, Oddlyoko is a great member, but due to his long break, I have almost never seen him, so I'm not sure if he deserves this or not. 19:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In response to that, I've been a moderately active member of this Wiki almost since it was created, and my edits are all over the place, in history and a lot of talk pages. (At the moment I'm more of a peacekeeper though) Oddlyoko talk 05:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Support. Oddlyoko was practically a pioneer to this wiki and is one of our oldest active members, if not THE oldest. He's done some good work lately and I'm glad that he's returned after his long break. Dtm142 19:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Support. *Runs* Oddly just scares me >_< besides that.... {Well! He is very informative, approachable, friendly (at times >_>), and.... (scary).... That's it! =D 23:33, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

''' Oppose!  lol, joking, SUPPORT x100!''' 23:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Odd's been here longer than anyone here, besides maybe Richard, and he's helped manage the wiki for a long time. Even after his 6 month break, people still looked at him highly and that shows a sign of respect from the community. 14:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Katshuma

 * Support - 5
 * Neutral - 0
 * Oppose - 1

Katshuma is a modest and under appreciated user. He's made over 1,200 mainspace edits and has uploaded tons of pictures. He's one of the most devoted to the wiki and doesn't seem interested in forums or becoming a sysop at all. He edits at a time when few people are on. I was going to post some of his major contributions, but he's already chronicled them here. --Wowbagger421 18:56, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think (s)he's a he. 19:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fix'd --Wowbagger421 19:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No no no, fix it back. I said I think because we don't have many female editors (no sexism directed at anyone just saying). 19:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No big deal. I'll leave it like this and Katshuma can tell us when he/she gets on.  --Wowbagger421 19:07, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If you didn't already, you're supposed to leave a message on their talk page telling them and they have the right to turn it down at any time. 19:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

19:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I am HE, even though I use female character in RuneScape.
 * I am interested in becoming a sysop, but not yet. I'm not ready.
 * I live in different time zone, so I really edit at time, when few people are on.
 * I neutral myself, because UOM is to give good users a spotlight, and I can name many better users than me, who haven't been given the spotlight. 1 example would be Tesfan.

I'm support but I'd like you to name a few. I think you're a really good user and you deserve it. I can't think of anyone who's not been user of the month yet who isn't up here already who is more worthy than you. Well ok maybe a few people who deserve it as much but not more. 19:54, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The anchors of most things are under appreciated. Katshuma, you deserve this. Support 00:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Katshuma, you declined your RFA, I'm not letting you decline this :) You definitely deserve this.  2000 edits, with over 66% mainspace.  You are one of the backbones of this wiki.  While others get distracted by user quarrels and annoying arguments, you continue to edit--and you do so in an impartial, consistently strong manner.  You have my full-blown support.
 * Wow, am I really that good? 11:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Support. Seen some great work from Katshuma and the user page has a nice look to it. ---Miw 13:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Katshuma is already going to be OUTM? It's only June 5th (where I am)!!! I think this should go longer, like June 15th. We're not even 1/3 of the way into the month! 02:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You were nominated in May. Also it seems that, whenever a Nominee recieves 5 Support votes, he/she becomes the Featured User. Chaoticar 05:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, I modified the rules a little. 12:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If you look at the date tags, he was nominated in JUNE, not MAY. 23:29, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

lol im gonna oppose to everyone. Even myself. OPPOSE!!!Well unless they really really deserve it. But she doesn't really deserve neither do I23:31, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Seriously, doesn't anyone bother to read the conversation? Katshuma's a HE, not a she. Typo perhaps? 23:34, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Errr.....WHo cares? I'll just call it a she.01:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You seriously need to show some respect to people. Look at this
 * WHo cares? I'll just call it a she.
 * Is it really nice to refer to a user as "it"? And even more, you showed that you do not care about the basic respect people deserve. You need to shape up or I will block you. 14:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
