Ilyas

Support: 4


He is a great editor on this wiki, and recently got his 1000th mainspace edit! He also is a positive voice here, and seems to be unappreciated. I think he deserves some recognition as an editor. This is kind of a skimpy nomination, but I can't think of much to say. Well, here you go. Vote already! 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount14:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Ilyas, no offense intended, but your handling of the Fake Images VfD was bungling, to say the least. I repeat:Sock puppets and new users should not get a say in the running of this Wiki. If this is my sole vote, I apologise to Christine, however this needs to be addressed.Chaoticar 22:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean by "sock puppets"? Because I was not using a sock for last month's featured user voting, if that's what you were trying to imply. And Ilyas was handling things just as well as Christine... 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount23:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Funny. By sock puppets, I meant accounts created solely for the purpose of voting, with suspiciously few edits. And no, he wasn't. Gangsterls was handling things as well as Christine (i.e both creating and refuting arguments), not allowing anyone that voted, sockpuppet or not, to contribute to the vote total.

Christine

Support: 7


She's a great editor on the wiki with a HUGE deletion log and she handles the IRC very well. She deserves regognition and thats all i have to say. Well if she accepts Start Voting! --Derial(Boywithbrain) 15:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose. Just like last time. 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount15:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC) P.S. I can vote now!

Sorry Cash, only allowed to vote once and nominating Ilyas counts as your vote. Bye now and as you would say "Owned By Da Boywithbrain!". --Derial(Boywithbrain) 15:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support Is one of the hardest working people on the wiki. Also helped start up the IRC chat. Tesfan 15:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support She really deserves it: She's a great editor and also acceptable as IRCop. :-) ShadowPhrogg32642342image:Chaos_Rune.PNG Talk Sandbox Trade 15:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support very outspoken, tells what's on her mind and not afraid of doing it. I.E. One helluva lady ^_~ Momento Mori Real PainNot Champagne16:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support Deserves it, is a great editor, and is constantly trying to improve the wiki (to the chagrin of others, unfortunately). Slayer TIRRIANGANT (TALK) 17:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support Prob. the most helpful person I have encountered on the wiki Atlandy 17:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support - Thanks for doing the stuffage everyone else finds boring. :) Sαcrε 19:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

::Comment: Hehe, I've been quoted. =D ChristineTalk 20:24, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Support, As I said before, she's one of the few members I have respect for. As well as being a practical and down-to-earth person, she has made invaluable contributions. --Themurasame Hiscores 19:40, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

:::Comment It's amazing the difference between this vote and the last one. I like the idea of the single vote per person. Problem: Is there a point to having an "Oppose" option if we only have one vote? It would be a decision about which of the two Users being nominated will win, whoever has the most support (no opposes needed) would win. I think it should be changed to one entry, people put their name on either side of the "line", with whoever they prefer to be featured as user of the month. Slayer TIRRIANGANT (TALK) 20:34, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

CommentGood point, we need to rework this voting system, eh? Hmmm, but if we had only 1 vote of Oppose or Support, it would be like the last vote, but if we have only 1 vote, then it'll be choose sides type, what's the best solution to this? Hmm well voting for UOTM is more or less choose your sides though (which should only be for RFAs), so what's the most sensible way we can solve this problem then? Momento Mori Real PainNot Champagne20:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

99 Neutrals but a personal attack ain't one. Yes, you are a good editor. However, screaming at everyone because they made a mistake or did something wrong is not to be taken. I prefer an Sacre Fi attitude more, so gentle and polite. Anyways, I didn't call you a "Whore" if the term is appropriate but... I was making fun of a Sandbox, not you. That's why I had to use Appropriate measures to edit normally like everyone. Just because I said something at someone else doesn't mean I'm slang in' at you because you edited before me.

  1. Yes, I'm an African American/Indian American Jew, and I don't take offense for any Attacks against me, so it's all good.
  2. I would choose oppose, but because you might be Pissed if I did. (Meh).
  3. Just because your a Sysop doesn't mean your Superior. All editors all equal, even Mr. Whales is on a Equal Level.
  4. . I'm 21, and just because your a Minor doesn't always mean your ahead, pointed out on Reason 3. Mr. Reeves 02:52, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment. Was any of that useful information Blanko? Don't vote for Christine if you don't want to, vote for Ilyas, or don't vote for anyone, but leave the crap off this page and get over yourself. Slayer TIRRIANGANT (TALK) 14:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah....... woah. You, my friend, Stop with the Hash Smoking and let me speak, don't slash out my comments if you don't like them, just comment. I was born in America, where people have a Right to vote and do not be cut out jsut because someone doesn't like it. The last thing I want is a little 11 Year old girl telling me what to do. Mr. Reeves 19:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Since Clv309 has been blocked (by herself) and has left the Wiki (I guess) I don't think she can be UotM. Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 20:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

She might come back. She said she was gone yesterday, but she came back and edited today. Image:Sysopcrown.PNGTes FanImage:Sysopcrown.PNG 20:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment I agree with Tesfan. Has she not been a vital part of creating this wiki for what it is today? Who is to say how long she will be gone for? Perhaps it will only be the weekend, or 2 weeks. If one of us went on a family vacation after we got nom...would that make our nom void? Atlandy 20:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Also comment Well she banned herself with "infinite", so that seems like she doesn't want to be a member of our Wiki community anymore. Also, I don't find her to be a vital part of creating the Wiki for two reasons: 1) She wasn't around when the Wiki was created, 2) Every editor is as important/vital as any other editor. Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 20:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Another comment because I forgot to comment to Atlandy's last sentance Well, it depends. If the nominee is on vacation while they are nominated and cannot accept the nomination, then yes. If they go on vacation after accepting the nomination, then it depends how long if they are on vacation (e.g.: 1 week wouldn't matter, but 3 weeks might get the nominee dubbed "inactive", and we certainly can't have a featured user being inactive). Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 20:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, Whiplash was named Uotm shortly after he said he was quiting. Image:Sysopcrown.PNGTes FanImage:Sysopcrown.PNG 20:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Whip was featured in June, he still edited, and he didn't block himself. Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 21:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
    • What I meant was, I know she has not been here from the beginning, but her contributions have made this wiki a whole lot better. And to say every editor is equally important is foolish. Is Buck Nell and Total as vaulable as you? Are one time people who post t he whip is now worth 3mil (when it isn't) valuable. Christine put in alot of work doing the little stuff and you have no idea when she will be back. She has edited today Atlandy 21:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Please remember that all editors are equal, so everyone's vitality is the same. Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 21:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
      • Before you get democratic on me..I didnt say anything about all editors being equal. I said being valuable. There is a huge difference. The ip adding extra info is just as equal to Ilyas with 1000 mainspaces, that I agree, but the vandal is not as valueble to the site as the editor. This is a vote for the most deserving user Atlandy 22:29, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
As stated above, editors each have a value to them. But, that doesn't necessarily mean that all people who "use" the wiki are editors. As stated above, vandals aren't really editors, hence they are excluded. Oh, and as for those 3 edits accounts for marketing, you have to actually EDIT something to be an editor, not some ad placement. *ahem* That's all, go and and carry on if you must. Momento Mori Real PainNot Champagne01:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Soft Oppose - Could not seem to make up her mind about blocking herself, and has been blocked the most of any user on the Wiki (if you include the blocks to herself) (to my knowledge). Wait—I don't even use this anymore!Chiafriend12Steel-toes are sooo yesterday. 23:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Can she even be UoTM anymore? Her userpage says "Gone for good.". 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount18:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think she should. If she comes back within this month, she can be UOTM if she gets the most votes. If not, I don't think that she should be allowed. Dtm142 19:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

What if she comes back August 30th, becomes UOTM, and leaves September 1st? 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount19:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Cashman286

Support: 5


Now remember, edit counts don't make the editor. Cashman has been here for some time now and he's a good figure in our community. Some of us may know a different Cashman but I believe that he's a great person to talk to and is very kind. Unfortunately, his low mainspace editcount may blind a few of us from seeing the truth. Cashman is constantly picked on and bothered by some people and also looked down at. However, if some of us look deep down, he's a kind person trying to help the wiki.

Cashman, he's referring to how you speak to people. Duh. ChristineTalk 16:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

...Can you leave me alone? You are acting like Ilyas discribed. I was apologizing to Ilyas because he nominated me and that will be a factor. So shut up and quit insulting me. You speak to others rudely too, like above, but you excuse yourself because "you're an admin". 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount16:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Cashman, I'm sick of you. You're pulling this stuff out of your ass. YOU'RE the reason I left both times. The only reason I'm even editing now is because if I don't then you'll kill my name with all your bs and lies. ChristineTalk 16:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Both of you, shut the f*** up! This is a damn UotM page and if you can't handle it I'll have to block you both. Please don't let this go to flaming, we're just damn voting. Ilyas 99damageig4.jpgTalk Contribs 16:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Since I cannot not vote, can I comment then? Atlandy 16:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Block me? Go ahead Ilyas, as if I care. I blocked myself before and only came back to editing because of this. Don't you dare block Atlandy though. ChristineTalk 16:43, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that really pissed me off. Does anyone else take that as a personal attack to me? Because I do. I am not lying anymore than you are. It is exaggeration that I "ruin" the wiki for you. Last time you left, you called me and the entire IRC channel "bastards" and left. That is personal attack too. Don't say I'm lying cause you know that I'm not. I have proof of two personal attacks on me now. You already killed my name. You wanna know why I'm so angry at you? Becuse you came here 2 months after me, became an admin, everyone loved you, and you made everyone hate me. Don't you see, or do you just want to go on thinking that you are some sort of victim. You act like my existance here is a sick joke and manipulate it at your will. 100% made by monkeys.CashmanOoh shiny!! talk|editcount16:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

P.s. Atlandy does not deserve a block. She only commented. I only commented once, and was answered by Clv's flames of rage.

I resent being called a girl. I have a penis Atlandy 16:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC).

Maybe he just thought it was wrong *GASP*. And jealousy is no excuse for spreading lies. And I never called anyone specifically a bastard. I just said "bastards." Not "you all are bastards." Besides, I PMed the people that I wish I didn't have to say that in front of (Mura, Pat, etc). Oh, did I not PM you? I wonder why.. ChristineTalk 16:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Chrislee, is, I believe, an administrator and been here longer than many of us. He is deserving of crat status but sadly his work goes unnoticed =(.
