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 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.

: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 don't think Ashley deserves the July HotM either way because he has not edited since April. I am completely against his nomination. - [[User:JEA13|<font color="orange">'''JEA13'''</font>]] <sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:JEA13|<font color="orange">iTalk</font>]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> 08:36, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

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 [[Halopedia:IRC Channel|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. Look, after two months of inactivity, Jack Phoenix comes back the day of nomination!

Jack Phoenix hadn't made a mainspace edit in ''two months'', and then these two came out, barely hitting the requirements. Jack Phoenix, I'm sorry... But nobody can deny that, without the background knowledge, this situation seems extremely unlikely.  Once again: sorry. I didn't mean to sound so accusatory. We still haven't figured out Roy, though... He has 51 edits, and really shouldn't have known him. My guess is that he was following Jedimca0's lead. One more time: sorry! I won't try to be so skeptical again!--[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 01:35, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

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)

::JEA13, first off, I see three people being nominated here, so that would make three amazing contributors... And sure, Jack's contributions weren't any great big articles and sure he didn't edit for a while... but that does not make his contributions any less compared to the others. He has just been busy with other wiki responsibilities that are not Halopedia, that is not a crime or something. I nominated him this month because I feared his hard work had gone unnoticed. I first started editing here on Halopedia because Jack told me this was a nice and friendly wiki, I didn't think a simple nomination would be such a big problem. Sure, I should have nominated him last month, but I just figured one of you guys would have noticed his contributions and would nominate him. So please, can we drop this and just get back to what this page is all about? Honoring Halopedia's hard working contributors. Thank you. --[[User:Jedimca0|'''Jedimca0''']]<sup>([[User talk:Jedimca0|Do or Do Not, There is No Try]])</sup> 09:27, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

::::This is just turning into one big set of campaigning, once again. I'm going to take JEA's side on this issue, only because his last point is dead on. I think it would be stupid to attempt to say that Jack's contributions are not substantial, as it is quite the opposite. However, Halopedian of the month is meant to be used to highlight users who are actively helping the wiki and making great contributions. Jack makes great contributions, but the thing is, he just hasn't being doing it as actively as he usually does - other nominees have. Everyone appreciates Jack's efforts, and I think if you really believe that winning Halopedian of the month is the only way to properly have a user's contributions recognized, than you are simply taking this much more seriously than you should. <font color="#7F007F">[[User:Blade_bane/Stats|'''B''']][[Special:Contributions/Blade_bane|'''L''']][[User:Blade_bane/Guestbook|'''A''']][[User:Blade_bane/Signature|<font color="#000000">'''D'''</font>]][[User:Blade_bane/Quotes|<font color="#B0E0E6">'''E'''</font>]][[User:Blade bane|'''BANE''']]</font> [[User:Blade_bane|<font color="#FFA500">Anti-Vandal</font>]] 10:54, June 3, 2010 (UTC)Blade bane
:::::Blade, If JEA saying Jack doesn't deserves it isn't campaigning, how can you say that me saying he deserves it as much as the other nominees ''is'' campaigning? And for the record, I do ''not'' think that winning this is the only way to recognize the great contributions, I am just saying that he deserves this award as much as the other two. All I see in this comments section isn't campaigning, it's people who are making problems where there are none. I nominated Jack, people agree with me and vote for Jack... If you disagree with me, let your votes speak for you and stop this whole "I want to have the last word in this pointless discussion" contest some people seem to be running. There were or are doubts about the nomination, I understand that, but those issues have been addressed and explained. So please, just leave it be, vote for who you think should get the award or nominate someone else who you feel deserves it. But don't start a fight over who deserves it more, that's what the voting section is for. --[[User:Jedimca0|'''Jedimca0''']]<sup>([[User talk:Jedimca0|Do or Do Not, There is No Try]])</sup> 11:38, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
::::::You don't need to be so defensive, I was only stating my opinion. Also, I think you misunderstood what I said. I said that I thought that what JEA saying ''was'' taking on the form of campaigning. If you looked at the comments section, you could clearly see that I tried to stop any angry feelings between Fluffy and Jack by pointing out how it was perceived from Fluffy's side, so that the others could at least see where he was coming from before jumping to a conclusion that he was attempting to loosen votes for Jack. I don't disagree with you, I pointed out it seemed suspicious under the circumstances but never said anything against your vote, and trying to say that I just want a last word in a pointless discussion is just childish. I'd have the last word if just to justify my thoughts, and it was unnessicary for you to comment on that.

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? Sorry, but I really want this cleared up. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 14:25, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

"''Seems like people are too focused on people who are actively editing, and forget to recognize those who have gone unnoticed in the past.''" - That's why it's called Halopedian of the '''Month''', isn't it? Why didn't you nominate him "in the past", Tony? I completely agree that he deserved it back then. omg... - [[User:JEA13|<font color="orange">'''JEA13'''</font>]] <sup><nowiki>[</nowiki>[[User talk:JEA13|<font color="orange">iTalk</font>]]<nowiki>]</nowiki></sup> 19:32, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

:That's because I voted for Durandal, another user who was in the same category as Jack Phoenix. And quite frankly...it's none of your business who someone nominates or votes for, i'm sure I made that clear in the similar drawn-out bullsh!t discussion many of the same users had last month.

Jack Phoenix has made some great contributions, as has Cally99117. However, Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato really stands out to me. I believe I'll vote for him.

No one seems to notice that I too am a hard working Halopedian. I have over 1300 edits and yet I was here at about the start of 2010. I'm also not going to vote for anyone this month becuase no one that I had saw had made any great edits this month.
