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 him or her 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 a user of the month.
 * Nomination starts the month prior to the designated featured user month (e.g. 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. Please simply do not vote if you don't think that a candidate deserves to be user of the month.
 * 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 edits excluding edits from userpages, user talkpages, and the Sandbox - per this 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.
 * Users may vote for as many candidates as they wish but may only vote once per person. Votes may also be changed/modified before the end of the month.
 * 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.

For Administrators
Administrators, please follow the following steps when closing a User of the Month session:
 * 1) Confirm that the votes are counted correctly and make sure who has won.
 * 2) Edit the "Candidates" section on this page and cut (copy and delete) all the nominations and text under the title. Save.
 * 3) Create a new page with the name "RuneScape:User of the Month/month year", changing month and year to the month the user will be featured in, not the month the nominations/voting took place.
 * 4) Paste the old text onto the page, and place Template:Archive at the top of the page, and announce the nominations closed at the bottom with the winner. Save.
 * 5) Edit Template:Featureduser and follow the guidelines on that page. Add the winning user to the bottom of the page, removing the one at the top, and write a completely positive description of him/her. If you don't know what to write, ask another user who may know the winner better. Also, take some tips/ideas from what the nominator wrote. Preview, then save the page. (note that the user's description may not appear, as it is randomised).
 * 6) Congratulate the user on their talk page. It does not need to be too official or formal, just let them know they were successful!
 * 7) Double check the main page to see if the description appears right, and the process is completed.

''Note: If by the end of the month (not including votes after the deadline) there are two users whose votes are drawn, use the same process but add both users. DO NOT choose out of the 2 users by which one you like better.''

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.

Ajraddatz
Ajr is a hardcore antivandal. <- 'nuff said. Seriously...this guy is like a vandalism fighting machine. He is active in the community and always has an interesting and helpful perspective on things. He knows more about the way wikis work than just about anyone else I know, and he's always willing to answer any questions I have. The only way I can describe him is amazing and that's why I think he deserves this. 05:16, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Evil1888
Evil does lots of great edits around here, is always helpful and willing to talk you through things. He is always creating signatures for new users here, welcoming new users all the time, fixing pages after people make them, doing lots of anti-vandal work, well I can't think of anything that he doesn't do and doesn't do well and to his very best. I think he is definitely worthy of becoming the uotm. 05:48, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) Good editor; he deserves it. 05:54, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Per nom. I was actually submitting a thing that said I was re-nominating him under your reason, but there was an edit conflict. 05:55, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

LordDarkPhantom
LordDarkPhantom has always been an active contributor ever since he joined the wiki back in June of 2009. Recently, he has dedicated most of his edits to improving the many lower detailed images on the wiki. Often, you may find that he has uploaded his images in a short timeframe, often more than 15. His images are always taken in high detail and with the OoO. Here is a gallery of some of his work. He truly has the Wiki spirit in him, wanting to improve images so that they may be the best that they can be. Without his image work, there would be many lower quality images scattered throughout the wiki. All of these reasons are why I believe that he is worthy of being UOTM. 12:57, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
