Star Wars Fanon:User of the Month

 User of the Month is an award given to those users who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment and helpfulness to the Star Wars Fanon wiki. A good candidate should be helpful in the community by participating in article writing, community events, and good and featured article voting. They should also demonstrate a helpfulness that goes above and beyond what would normally be expected for a user, and they should try to help guide new users into becoming active community members. Users of the Month are meant to be the best examples of what our wiki has to offer.

Nomination process:

There is a simple process that all candidates go through in order to be selected as a User of the Month. That process is as follows:


 * 1) Any user may nominate any user other than themselves. They may also nominate as many users as they want, though they may only vote for one per month.
 * 2) However, users may not be chosen as a User of the Month if they have previously won the award in the last six (6) months. Even so, strive to nominate people who have not won before.
 * 3) Users will either support or oppose the candidates. Users must provide a reason for voting against a candidate. Users must meet the requirements of the voting policy to vote.
 * 4) At the end of each month, the candidate with the most votes will be that month's winner. All candidates will be removed from the nominations page and archived.
 * 5) Users who are not successfully chosen as User of the Month that month may be re-nominated at any time.

How to nominate:

When you nominate a user, please use the following nomination form in order to maintain a sense of organization on the nominations track:


 * ===Candidate's name===
 * ====Support (#)====
 * ====Neutral====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Comments====

Candidates will remain on the nominations track until the end of the month, unless the nominee removes him or herself before then. The candidate with the most votes will be the User of the Month. All nominees from that month will be added to the archive.

 * 1) Fiolli has been here for years, always being a kind and productive user around the wiki. He is prolific writer of his own fan fiction, having written a dozen novels, novellas, short stories, etc. in his Golden Age of the Republic series. With a total of over 1,500 edits here on SWFanon, a few of his beautiful, captivating stories took home three awards at the Summer 2011 Short Story Contest, a testament of his ability as a writer. From those magnificent works have emerged many mainspace articles, a dozen Quote of the Weeks, and two Featured Work nominations. Granted, he won this award a little over a year ago, but most of the many accomplishments I've listed above have been done since that time. In my God's honest opinion, there is currently no better person to receive this award than he. -- Wylind (talk)(narratives) 03:14, November 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Not thrilled with awarding this solely on personal achievements and work, but he is steady, quiet and goes about his business, the way things ought to be done. My respect is higher for him and his work than anybody else around. Plus I think Bluethunder's spot in the sun lasted a few months too long.(Just thought I'd rub my correct prediction in y'all faces too)- I'm the Chosen One  07:28, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Goodwood has dutifully maintained the wiki to the best of his abilities, making sure that images are sourced, vandalism reverted, keeping up with deletion tasks, general maintenance edits, and he had brought back the searchbox icons for Monobook! Also, he frequently reviews GANs and FANs, and has been taking a large chunk of other admin duties off of my hands since I'm still in the process of relocating and won't have a stable connection until December when I get a permanent place.  He is knowledgeable of the policies, and while others may feel that he has a "bad attitude," I see it more of just a firm hand.  And sometimes, a firm hand is what's needed.  He knows when to stop holding a user's hand and get them to start growing into their own, to start taking charge, and many of us still have trouble of knowing when to do that, of knowing when it's time to stop being motherly and force the person to grow up.  An admin is not a babysitter and Goodwood has demonstrated that numerous times.  And, as I said, he also performs frequent maintenance edits and general upkeep to keep the riffraff at bay.  He is long overdue for such recognition.   Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:31, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Both users are very, very good, but Goodwood's more activity garners my vote. 10:41, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree.-Trainferry88 (Talk) 13:51, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * Thank you for those kind words, Trak. Though it should be noted that Jack Phoenix provided the fixes; all I did was implement them. 02:39, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
