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 nominee 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 edits not counting talk pages. (per discussion)

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.

Kudos 2 U
Although recently new to the RuneScape wikia community, this user has time and time again proven themselves as both a mature and very resourceful user. They've contributed to many mainspace page's, and is responsible for a many of our updated HD images. As an entrusted user of Rollback rights they have reverted many vandals and is proficient in editing grammar/spelling and updating the information contained in this wikia, with now over 2000 edits. It is with this, I nominate Kudos 2 U as a User of the Month. 01:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - As Nom 01:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Barely 2 months active... 08:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I know its about user of the month and not about the time that they have been active, but isn't this a bit fast?? I say, he will be a user of the month, but not this month.. 16:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * SupportI am right in guessing I'm allowed to support more than 1 person a month? Btw, is kudos 2 U a joint account? all the grammar was plural, Bonziibob. However, he's a great editor, his contributions are all around us. (quite literally :p) Changed as I voted for bonzii instead. -- 12:28, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hapi007
I nominate Hapi007 again. He made a lot of great contributions. Most of his edits were uploading the most recent images and animations of... anything! Between his images and animations project he also reverts vandalism. This person is very nice to other people. He made over 2000 mainspace edits, and over 1000 image edits :O! That's why I nominate Hapi007 for user of the month Januari 2009. You deserve it Hapi007! 08:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Just a quick question, I looked into Man tan1's edit count and he only has 70 edits, being 50+ are on his user page. Does this qualify as a valid vote? I'm not sure, but I added it to the vote count anyways :) 14:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

What this?  [http://www.Runescape.com Somethings just never change! ] Nooooobz!  15:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Users do not have the required 50 edits. -- 22:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I like Hapi as an editor your great, but seriously people think up more Support info than "per above" or "Instant images", don't be lazy =S. 17:00, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support As you pmed me ingame :) - Dont worry it was a joke, But you do add instant images and have a nice edit count, FTW, --

Bonziiznob
I'm renominating Bonziiznob since he was nominated late last month. I feel that he deserves a full month as a nominee. Although he has only been editing here for about a month, Bonzii has the edit count of a user that appears to have been here for much longer. He is one of the most active editors we have and he makes good use of his rollback privileges. I don't think I've ever seen someone so dedicated to improving the wiki and reverting vandalism. It is a great honor for me to nominate him. Happy new year everyone. 03:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - as nominator. :) 03:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - You and Bonziiznob are pretty close for someone dedicated to improving the wiki and revering vandalism....But since you aren't on the candidate list right now I guess I should support Bonziiznob. I was going to nominate him but you beat me to it! Very deserving to be user of the month. [[Image:Rollbackcrown.PNG‎]] Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 05:36, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - As per Soldier 1033. Bonziiznob is very involved and active in the community. Bonziiznob is also very fast and active at reverting vandalism, in my attempts to revert vandalism I have been beaten to it almost every time. I agree that Bonziiznob is a deserving to be user of the month. Bonziiznob has wished everyone a Happy New Year and been welcoming to everyone in the community. As per Bonziiznob Happy New Year! - 05:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC).


 * Comment - "I don't think I've ever seen someone so dedicated to improving the wiki and reverting vandalism." Well, I've seen enough. Bonziiznob is only trying to become friends with users by sending them 'Happy New Year' messages, so they'll vote for him.--. 16:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Hapi, you wished me a happy new year, along with a few other users. So why are you opposing Bonzii for doing it too? 03:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I agree with Hapi007, it's not about making friends, it's about improving the wikia. 16:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - :S, I'm not trying to make friends with anyone so please don't be so hostile. It's New Year, why am I being the target of some random assault as wishing people a Happy New Years. I didn't nominate myself and if you look, just about ALL messages sent were before this UotM were created. I am not trying to win votes or persuade anyone. I'm a very happy person and around holiday's, it the meaning to share and bring happiness to each other. What does that mean? I'm tricking people into liking me. Society today is overrun by people who have power and people who are trying to get it. I feel as a sysops I could benefit the wikia, but I am in no rush to get it, and questions I have had about them are just to ensure that when I do run, or am nominated, it can be as positive as possible. Perhaps wishing users a Happy New Years was a bad thing. 20:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - He's done a lot for the Wiki. And you guys aren't supposed to oppose. Ever. Put it as a comment instead. I got blocked for soft opposing someone just minutes after that rule was made. X(]. 05:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support!He does a lot for the wiki, and even more for the community. He's a professional all-rounder, and one of the friendly-est editors I know. getting a happy new year's was a great thought, it must've taken a while, and made me smile.:)-- 12:24, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support First off, (warning long big lump off writing ahead): I'm supporting you because your a new breed, and you do alot for the community. Second off I'm an underdog guy and it would make me feel good if I knew I supported a losing team(no offence). Third off (Warning this is from my side of the arguing) I think some admins are being mean to some new blood around here, which me and some other editors find unfair. 17:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Bonziibob rocks!!! all i can say he bought change to this community and happiness by saying words like Chirstmas and New Years, funny, joyful, hard worker, and works most of his life to improve the wikia. Happy that is what i can say! 06:09, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * support Bonziibob is ne of the most helpful wiki'ers i've ever met he gets my vote


 * I apologize as this might sound hypocritical to some where I said I would scratch all votes (even on my own User of the Month) who did not meet the voting qualifications and didn't check the edit count of these people. 00:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment My earlier Support were I said "I think some admins are being mean to some new blood" I didn't mean thats what I feel but what I Guess some onlookers are thinking. Also when I said "which me and some other editors find unfair" I mean't the general being unfairness if the admins are being mean to the new blood. 16:37, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support I have always found Bonziibob to be trustworthy and nice, and that's all I need to support him. [[Image:Prayer.gif]] Jediadam4  (Talk)  [[Image:Bandosgodsword.gif|Bandosgodsword.gif]] 19:53, 21 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Bonziibob has done a lot for this wiki and many users on it (including me). He deserves being the User of the Month [[Image:Wizard robe t.png]] Krazyballa talk! [[Image:Law Rune.PNG]] 17:52, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Great editing bonzi! =) 15:09, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Bonziibob is a dedicated and helpful wikian. He has my vote for the user of the month. #


 * Soft support I have to say, I don't know any of the other nominees as well as I know Bonziibob, so it would be unfair for me to give my full support. Regardless, Bonziibob is an exceptional contributor and stays of out troublesome arguments; therefore, he has my support.  20:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support C'mon, I'm sure there is someone left to add one more and tie it up again.--Degenret01 05:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Haven't made my decision yet, we'll see later.--. 06:48, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Support We may have had some, well, discussions, but I'm sure you deserve it more than me. After all, I haven't been quite active for a while. Though, 15-15 means the 2nd dual Users of the Month (You and Degenret)--. 12:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Degenret01
Degenret has been an active member of the community for quite some time now, he began editing in January '08 and has amassed over 1800 edits. As an admin he has fully followed policy and has reverted countless acts of vandalism. Not only does he always remember to assume good faith, he also tries to give people second chances, an increasingly rare sight now a days. -- 19:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Support - Degenret was the first who sent me a message telling about using "you"s in article, and it was the days that I was a newbie in this wiki (or in any wiki). He is good at giving advice, and continues to do so to other users in need of help.  He fights vandalism whenever he could (even while working), and always remembers to fix any errors or mistakes in articles.  Degenret has and always will be a loyal wikian, and is an invaluable user/admin for this wiki.  Bravo and keep it up!   08:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Because I do not like people campaigning for UotM (see above)‎[[Image:Cooked_chicken.PNG‎]]Atlandy 16:04, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - per Azaz 04:45, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Other candidates certainly have their merits, and this isn't a queue whereby we recognise the longest-serving contributors first, but special mention must be made here.  Every dog has his day, and if Degen hasn't been UoTM before then I think today must be his.   03:39, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I have to agree with Max/Leevclarke, Degen has been an excellent contributor as others have been on this list however from my times working with Degen I can say he is an excellent editor definitely deserved of such notice. 17:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - As per Azaz. 11:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - As my nominee as retired from the wikia, I assume I am entitled to another vote. Degenret01 is a great editor. He is professional about his work and his intentions are always for the better good of this wikia. Questioning me on my content, which I know is of good intent, just proves that he is ultimatley trying to maximize this wikia's potential and has shown this multiple times. Although he is my running mate in this User of the Month, and this vote would bring it to a tie, he certainly does deserve this title, more so then I. 14:43, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - All the other candidates earned their fame, but this guy has really stood out this month, many contributions, too many really =S Really nice guy to socialize with too ^_^ XxXxGradiusheroxXxX 20:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support per much above except the "nice guy to socialize with" because I never have so I dont know if that part is true. I really like him giving second chances.--Pawnbroker 01:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support I wasn't positive if i was going Degen or Bonzii, but Cruser234 helped my decision. Thanks Cruser!!--Bob quest 05:21, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just curious, how did Cruser influence your decision? 05:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably User_talk:Bob_quest. 05:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That is why I am confused? How does something that has nothing to do with me or Dengenret have an influence on a persons decision? Should your decision not me made on persoanl opinion about that users contribs/edit's/and discussions/Offering to the wikia? 05:43, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Rich Farmbrough
By no doubt Rich Farmbrough is the top editor, making 40k edits!!! , helping the GEMW project boom up to success, he clearly deserves to be UOTM.

 * He's the user that signs talk pages with whiteout, it was very clearly marked white on white, wasn't it? 19:59, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - the only reason he has 40k edits is because he used to be a bot that updated GE prices. His new bot is SmackBot. 18:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Where SmackBot now has Special:Editcount/SmackBot edits. 06:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Cool, our first Bot of the month XD 08:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - in fairness to Rick, there is a real person behind this bot and is providing a valuable service to the wiki. I admit that most of the 40k edits are bot edits, but that ought to be irrelevant other than to point out that this is a serious contributor to the wiki.  He has been providing a much needed linking and infrastructure to the wiki, and should be recognized for that effort.  Pages like this certainly deserve extra recognition as well.  --Robert Horning 08:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
