KHWiki:Votes for featured users



Featured Users is a place to recognize the hard-working editors that make this wiki such a wonderful place. The rules and guidelines are always a work-in-progress; if you have suggestions, please leave them on the Talk Page.

Nomination Guidelines
So, what makes a user eligible for nomination? Here are the guidelines:


 * The user should be obviously hard-working. Any sort of edits, from spelling corrections to full page rewrites are acceptable, as long as the user makes quality edits.
 * The user should not vandalize, or maliciously violate the policies of this wiki. You don't have to be perfect to be nominated, but any unhappiness you may have shouldn't disrupt the voting process.
 * Nominations should put emphasis on the user's edits for the last month. While a user's lifetime edits should certainly be taken into account, it should be possible for a hard-working "newbie" to be the Featured User, if they outshine other editors in that month.
 * Any editor who was nominated one month prior to this voting session is ineligible to be nominated this month.
 * Any editor who currently holds a staff position is ineligible for this award.
 * If the nominations for a single user become extremely redundant, the nominator will be asked to refrain from nominating for several months.
 * It's probably a good idea to be an editor of this wiki.
 * Most importantly: the editor must have substantially improved the wiki in some way. That does not necessarily mean writing articles, but it does mean that whatever you nominate them for must have measurably moved us closer to being "done".

Nomination Process
So, there's an editor you think should be recognized. How do you make it happen?

For the first 21 days of a month, just post the name of the user, and sign under your nomination with your signature. If someone has already nominated the user you support, just second their nomination using the # symbol. To find a user's contributions, along with a complete breakdown of the namespaces that they have contributed to, simply enter their name into the edit count page.

On the first of the following month, the winner will receive a Featured User medal, which can be displayed on their user page, and the winner will be showcased on the wiki's front page along with a commemorative, custom description of the winner.

To keep any one person from sweeping the awards, any editor can only win once. Furthermore, to prevent sockpuppeting and other forms of cheating, only registered users that meet the edit requirement below may vote. If it is discovered that someone is being a poor sport and attempting to sockpuppet, their votes for the current election, as well as the next two, will be negated.

Note: To vote, you must have 250 total edits (check here).

Voting
Each registered editor can make one nomination or seconding; they must put their vote and signature, ( ~ ) underneath the nominee of their choice. If you want to explain what it is about the user that makes you agree with the nomination, just add a comment as if you were posting on a talk page. Please don't vote for yourself.

September 2014

 * ANX219 - Category:Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Talk Sprites. In case you missed the massive uploading spree, ANX has successfully tackled this section of the image renovation project. She has gone through and not only uploaded better quality and transparent sprites, but she has filled in those that were missing...including .gifs! Outside of single-handily renaming/uploading these images, she also went back through the Wiki, replacing every incorrect file with the appropriate name- even if the images had not yet been moved. No halfway doing things here! ANX has also been helping us over on project: music, filling in the Days cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX. From images to music, ANX has definitely proven herself this past month. 00:31, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) I've noticed her countless times in the RC this past month. She's also extremely nice and polite in discussions :P 00:39, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Dang it! Xion, you beat me! I was just going to nominate her! For sure, she deserves this! 00:42, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed! :)-- 03:53, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Even if you were living under a rock, you could still see how much shes done! She defiantly deserves this. :)  04:13, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 09:50, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * 6) Thumbs up!!  19:29, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

'''Voting is closed! September's Featured User is ANX219!'''

August 2014

 * Chainoffire - Magazine and Podcast. Need I say more? But I will! He's been a huge help with the wiki's new magazine, and he took up the (still)-daunting task of Editor-in-Chief. 17:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Agreed. He's also helped with a lot of image-work and forum organisation. 17:29, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely overdue. Let us also remember his help on wiping out the images in the articles for deletion category. 18:04, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) HECK YES~! :D I THINK HE DESERVES IT MORE THAN ANYONE! He really shows his love for the series by helping out a lot around here. He's one of the new users who actually edited here, and his editing skills are great! He takes the time and effort to do everything for the sake of the wiki, and the series he loves! His passion and dedicated is unrivaled! :)-- 19:55, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Competent and skilled editor. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 22:11, 4 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Voting is now closed. Teh winnah is Chainoffire! Congratulations! ^_^ 00:15, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

July 2014

 * KeybladeSpyMaster - The Wiki's newest regular. He's been the driving force of many community projects and he also helps out in the mainspace. Besides, he's been making all these FU badges and descriptions for everyone else so I think it's his turn. 22:06, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Agreed! He's been very helpful to the wiki, and I believe he might be one of the new users that comes on the wiki to most. :) I admire his dedication and his hard work!-- 03:36, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Yep! Was also thinking of him. One of the most regular new users I saw here after my absence. I like his work very much since he tries to learn new things and keep things going here. - 19:47, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) I suppose KSM does deserves this. Byzantinefire (talk) 23:02, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 4) Template work and community projects. 'Nuff said. 04:03, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Ditto. 08:47, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Voting is closed. Tis official, KeybladeSpyMaster is the winner! 03:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

 * MateusinhoEX - Shard already gave him an honorary, FU-esque badge but I'd like to make it official after all his hard work with several templates and notes. 16:18, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Agreed, he's been a driving force this whole time behind the Dream Eaters template and the Wiki Magazine template. We easily wouldn't have what we have today without him. 17:39, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) -- Xion 4  ever  05:53, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 05:56, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) One of the most helpful new users! :) He's defiantly been a driving force on the wiki! Having him here is quite the blessing!-- 19:21, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Ultima Spark - This user has been incredibly helpful on the manga articles. Specifically, on uploading the cover images. Check out the upload log or manga image categories. That's a lot of work to do for one person. The images help make our manga articles look more complete. -- Xion 4  ever  00:32, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) After reading that log, totally agree! Happy this Featured User thing is back. It's a good incentive for new users to make helpful edits :) - 15:28, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Same! Here's one of the only users here who has been helping. :) I know it's hard to get motivated to edit on a game wikia, especially with stuff going on RL. Ultima Spark has been extremely helpful! The user may not appear every day, but comes when he can and takes the effort and time to edit and improve the wiki.-- 20:37, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed, especially after today, what with the Calling cover. He not only assured himself this vote, but furthered the Featured Article vote all with one upload!
 * 4) Yes. 16:38, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * 18:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)


 * On a side note, are we going to use the same "medals"? Because I can whip up the same kind, or a new one if wanted, but I would need to know now so that we can have it by tomorrow (which, for people like Uxie, is already a day late) 02:16, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Is this good for the article, then? Assuming we go with Ultima Spark (who, I believe, has won). 00:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Voting is closed. By the majority, Ultima Spark is the featured user of May! @Keyblade:Everything in the article looks fine, though I believe the last sentence pertaining to Final Fantasy isn't needed. The rest of the article talks about her edits/Wiki activity, tossing that at the end with nothing else seems...distracting or irrelevant, at least to me.-- Xion 4  ever  18:43, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

September 2012

 * TheFifteenthMember - Been working hard to get to the top. 13:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * LightRoxas - Probably this wiki's newest regular, he's established himself as a rational and trustworthy editor over the past few months. 01:58, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) I agree. I personally dont know him that much, but he serves as a neutral viewer in a lot of debates.-- 07:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Yeah. 14:57, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012

 * EnglishJoker - An editor who has made hundreds of valuable Mainspace contributions. Also, one of the few active editors who isn't staff. 13:02, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) I agree.-- 20:53, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

January 2012

 * UxieLover1994 - She revived the walkthrough! 08:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

 * 11:54, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

 * As if! - He's only been back for a little while, and he's already the most active user here.  22:17, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) He hasn't been made Featured User already? 00:11, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) What Chitalian said, it's weird. 03:04, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) You'll be the Featured User whether you like it or not this time! 03:11, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Welcome back, good sir! 09:48, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
