*'''Fluffy'''- Me! There's always something sad about voting for yourself, but I can't help it. I really love Halo and contributing to the Halopedia, and have been trying to edit every day I can. Even though it must be a pain to write out my full name, I was still voted for. Becoming the ''Halopedian of the Month'' means a lot to me... I would love to give a premature "thank you- you are awesome!" to all of the people who will vote for me. Everyone on the Halopedia is awesome, but you guys are the best... By my view, of course.

I don't know who to vote for because when [[User:Jugus|Jugus]] started to clean up the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages list]] by removing red links which made me want to nominate for this month him but he went a bit inactive (not inactive alot but he just did not make very many edits after a while) but [[User:General5 7|General5 7]] started to contribute greatly to [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)]] [[Achievement]]s which made me want to nominate her for this month but after that was done she started to make not very many contributions recently and those two nominated above I haven't seen many major contributions from them recently (no offence) so I am going to wait until I find someone making major contributions before I nominate someone.  <big><font face="Century Gothic">'''[[User:Cally99117|<font color="black">C</font>]][[User talk:Cally99117|<font color="maroon">a</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Cally99117|<font color="brown">l</font>]][[Special:Editcount/Cally99117|<font color="purple">l</font>]][[Special:EmailUser/Cally99117|<font color="red">y</font>]][[User:Cally99117/Userboxes|<font color="orange">9</font>]][[User:Cally99117/Gallery|<font color="yellow">9</font>]][[UserProfile:Cally99117|<font color="turquoise">1</font>]]UserWiki:Cally99117|<font color="lime">1</font>]][[Special:Following/Cally99117|<font color="green">7</font>]]'''</font></big> 20:49, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
:I'm sorry- I don't mean to sound suspicious, (being that he is the only other nominee at the time) but have you noticed that two of the three current voters for Jack Phoenix just ''barely'' fit the requirements? (Not SpartanSniper, the other two) I mean, they were both made rather recently and have just over 50 edits? The vast majority of users that new don't know about the HOTM, I know I didn't... Even stranger, ''both'' of them voted the first day of the voting. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, and I'm not necessarily saying they're "fake" accounts, but you cannot deny that this is highly unusual... Especially as Jack Phoenix hasn't made an edit for a month (and even then, only to his userpage), and they shouldn't know him very well. I don't think that their votes should be nullified or anything, but could an administrator make an IP analysis? Again- I hate to say this to my own competitor, but I hate cheating. I need to say this one more time: ''I just find the situation extremely unlikely, I am not trying to get him in trouble because he is running against me! In fact, that could even make me '''not''' want to point this out, as it makes me look bad!'' I just want to check it out. '''NEW INFO:''' ''both'' of those users have their previous edits on April 5th, and after ''two'' months of no edits, they ''both'' vote for him on the same day. Now, this is getting ridiculous. Now I admit, I am becoming extremely suspicious. The chances of them not being fraud accounts is unlikely. Sorry.--[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 22:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

:::I might just be being paranoid, but honestly, both you and that other guy who voted for him stopped editing on ''exactly'' the same day.

I don't think Ashley deserves the July HotM either way because he has not edited since April.

Firstly, let me say that I'm very honored that Jedimca0 chose to nominate me. He could've voted for the (at the time, only) other candidate instead.
 
Now then...
 
:''I mean, they were both made rather recently''
 
<sup>[citation needed]</sup>. Or what is your explanation to [http://darth.wikia.com/index.php?title=Template:Quote&diff=prev&oldid=2839 this edit on Darthipedia], which Jedimca0 made on 11 August 2007, '''almost three years ago'''?
 
:''The vast majority of users that new don't know about the HOTM, I know I didn't...''
 
[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]], even though this isn't Wikipedia. Just because you didn't know about HotM doesn't mean that nobody else knows about it.
 
:''Especially as Jack Phoenix hasn't made an edit for a month''
I admit that I've [[mw:Special:Code/MediaWiki/author/ashley|been busy outside Halopedia]], sorry.
 
:''and they shouldn't know him very well''
Both Jedimca0 and I are [[wikia:c:darth:Special:ListUsers/sysop|administrators on Darthipedia]], the Star Wars Humor Wiki. I don't know who the other voter is, but I appreciate their support; it means a lot to me when even newer users trust in me.
 
:''could an administrator make an IP analysis?''
No, for the simple reason that only Wikia staff are able to [[Special:ListGroupRights|perform CheckUser checks]].
 
:''The chances of them not being fraud accounts is unlikely.''

::I've got to say, even despite me taking a neutral standpoint on this due to my constantly being away from halopedia, I think it Fluffy's defense this did seem very suss. Just that two of them would pop in after a month of inactivity, and both vote for you on the same day (within 3 hours of each other). Furthermore, the Skirt guy made no further edits or contributions which also seems odd (not necessarily a point on its own, but when coinciding with the observations looked as if it had some significance.). I overall though, this was just a large set of coincidences, which seemed irregular due to the fact that the votes could sway the entire HoTM.

:After reading all the comments, I've also decided to clear things up (I know Jack did in a way, but I'll lend some support): Jack_Phoenix and Jedimca0 are not sockpuppets. I know both these users personally, and I assure everyone that there is no fraud voting going on (you guys should visit the IRC sometime if you want further evidence). Perhaps bias as co-workers had something to do with the nomination as well as Jack's work? Maybe so, but if we're taking bias into account, we ought to re-consider nominations we ourselves have done in the past out of friendship; I myself admittedly have nominated [[User:Kougermasters|so]][[User:General5 7|me]] [[User:JEA13|friends]] out of my personal favour along with their work. That doesn't mean they didn't deserve it. In fact, isn't it better off to know someone personally when you nominate them for an award? Doesn't that make it easier to judge them? Jack nonetheless, as a mediawiki developer has made his own impact of contribs to the wiki. Whether you think he deserves the award is up to each individual, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Jed's nomination may seem strange and biased to most of you, but don't take it out on him or Jack by assuming they're sockpuppets. Just his opinion, as illogical it sounds.

I agree with everything Nicmavr said, but I was just wondering why was Ashley nominated for the July HotM, while he has not been into editing since April. The rest of the competitors have been editing like maniacs lately, and Ashley's nomination is really unfair for them.

Don't get me wrong, though, I am not one of those people who attempts to destroy my competition by making false accusations: I just find it ''extremely'' unlikely that two users that have been inactive for two months and ''barely'' hit the requirements ''both'' vote for somebody who hasn't made a mainspace edit for two months. Keep in mind they all went inactive at the ''same time''! I'm still not fully convinced. I suppose it's possible that they are friends, and they made this plan months ago, but other than that: it's extremely unlikely.

To Smoke: I don't really think that reporting a couple (or whatever the number is) of vandals to the administration is worthy of a HotM. Remember that months ago, when I would report vandals and spam almost everyday to your and Subtank's blacklists, all I would get in return was that lousy argument about me not knowing how difficult handling vandals is. Well anyway, my point is that when you have two amazing contributors in front of you to choose from, no matter how "suspicious" they are, it shows great amount of desrespect and derision to them and their contributions when your vote goes for the guy who has not edited for two months, "just because he reported quite a few vandals". It's completely unfair, and I hope everyone who voted for Ashley could realize it. I mean no disrespect to your vote. - [[User:JEA13|<font color="orange">'''JEA13'''</font>]] <sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:JEA13|<font color="orange">iTalk</font>]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> 07:40, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, not to bring up a dead subject, but what is Roy's story? Jedimca0 was already Jack's friend outside the wikia (or as Jack calls 'em" "his 'fan'") but Roy just pops out of nowhere from two months of inactivity with ''fifty-one'' edits ''just'' to vote for Jack.  The probabilities are not in the favor of: "He was just some guy who noticed Jack's contributions." It is my belied that the user was ''made'' to vote for Jack, whether or not Jack gave his (her?) consent. Perhaps he knows Jack ''outside'' this wikia, and wanted to give him the HotM. But really, 51 edits, two months of inactivity, ''just'' to pop up the day of the voting to vote for someone he shouldn't really know in the first place. They may not be sockpuppets, but there ''has'' to be some connection. Jedimca0 was his friend outside the wikia: is Roy the same thing?

This has become like a friggin' circus... awards that you ''earn'' generally do not come on request. Judging by attitudes of the nominees here, no one's earned it. We all just want it and will do anything to get it, right? That's certainly what it looks like. Prove me wrong. Unfuck your attitudes and lose your arrogance, lose this attitude of entitlement . Just make great contributions and be a model Halopedian. You might actually EARN the award - and only THEN will it be worth something! <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:#404040; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:#404040; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]</sup></b> 11:58, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

After reading the countless comments above, I can say one thing: what a load of fuss about nothing. Yes, I personally disagree with Jack Phoenix's nomination, for the same reasons outlined by JEA13 and the like, and while Fluffy, Cally and Ultra Force clash for attention, this whole thing is a bit ridiculous. Despite my serious contempt and self-hatred for using this quote, "This is not an aggressive election campaign, this is a friendly vote to see who has give [sic] some great contributions", and thus I advise people to follow the words. Halopedian of the Month has gotten far too controversial the last few months, and it's getting on my nerves; nominees, users and admins alike. All calm down and think for a moment how idiotic and disrespectful a large amount of you are being, and let's try and bring Halopedian of the Month back to its former glory as a friendly, well mannered little vote to give recognition to hard-working users. I dearly hope Halopedian of the Month does not meet the same fate as Halopedia News, Halopedia Warz, the Usergroups and the Halopedia Podcast, as quite frankly, another loss of a community feature such as this, and Halopedia will be a lot less fun. All of what I've just said may not even make any difference, but I thought I'd at least try to reach out to the "masses".
