Before You Vote

• Only votes from users who have accounts on Halopedia and whose vote are cast while being logged in will count. The account must have been created at least one month before the vote and have at least 50 article edits.

• For example, if one is voting for HOTM for the month of October then the user must have created their account in July or before July.

• Votes will be counted for next month. Please vote on the section for next month, because only the votes in that section will be counted.
• You can vote one time only. If you wish to change your vote, cross out (but do not remove) any previous votes you have made.
• Please bold your nomination so it is easier to see.
• In the event of a tie the results from the edit count page will be used as a tie breaker.
• You must put your vote with your signature in the voting area. In the end votes with signatures are the only ones that will be counted.

Votes

• Fluffy - Great contributions since 2009. - 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 18:07, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
• Jack Phoenix - Jack has done a lot of good work for this wiki the past few months, most of which might have been unnoticed by most users. I feel his hard work deserves a reward. --Jedimca0^{(Do or Do Not, There is No Try)} 19:27, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
• Jack Phoenix - per Jedimca0. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 19:38, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
• Jack Phoenix - Can't think of a more deserving user for Halopedian of the Month. Should be an administrator. Roy Mustang's mini-skirt 22:08, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
• 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. Anyway, yeah, thanks! Keep being awesome, and I hope I win! --Fluffball Gato 22:31, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
• Fluffy- I vote Fluffball Gato because he helped me when I first Registered on Halopedia and probobly saved me from a block. User:Bustie24 00:02, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
• Cally99117 - Cally's been making heaps of contributions in the past weeks. But i'm voting because he/she (sorry, I dont know and I don't want to guess) should have been recognised last month.Sergeant JimMy 03:19, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

I don't know who to vote for because when Jugus started to clean up the 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 General5 7 started to contribute greatly to Halo 2 Vista Achievements 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.--Fluffball Gato 22:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

It would be highly unlikely... visit the Irk sometime and say hi to ashley. :) - 5əb'7aŋk^(7alk) 23:12, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Or have our IP's checked... you'll find me and Jack are about a thousand kilometers apart and in different countries. I myself have been active on wikia since 2007 and am an admin on several wikis. I noticed Jack's edits here a while back and helped him out a bit, I then figured you guys would see his good work and nominate him. When it became clear to me that his contributions had most likely gone unnoticed I decided to nominate him myself. Jack did some really good work around here and I just felt he deserved a reward for that. --Jedimca0^{(Do or Do Not, There is No Try)} 23:39, 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. Both of you had accounts made around the same time, and barely hit the requirements. I have no idea how you know what country he lives in, but I'll believe you until further evidence is acquired. He stopped editing in April, so you wouldn't have known him for long. --Fluffball Gato 00:54, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

C'mon man, let it go, it is pretty suspicious, I agree, but people are going to look at you and think you are trying to get rid of competition. I don't, but thats what i'm seeing in the above comment.Sergeant JimMy 03:19, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
