Forum:CT:Fifth Wiki Awards co-host selection

Hear ye, hear ye. It’s that time of year again, time to select the co-hosts of our annual Wiki Awards! This is our fifth year, so let’s hope that the Fifth Wiki Awards end up being the best one yet! The voting for this is simple: the two users with the highest amount of votes win and are the co-hosts for the awards. Nominate anyone you want, including yourselves, but obviously you canNOT vote for yourselves.

Here is a proposed schedule for the wiki awards process, starting now:


 * December 3–December 16, 2009 – host selection
 * December 18, 2009–January 16, 2010 – award nominations
 * January 16–January 31, 2010 – award voting
 * February 1, 2010 – heap lavish praise on winners

Though you’re free to nominate past hosts (unless they’re banned for good, which one is), here is a list of all the past hosts and co-hosts in the event that you want to choose someone new. Try to get someone you know will be active too.


 * First Wiki Awards – Darth Vacatour (yes, that's supposed to be a red link)
 * Second Wiki Awards – Jasca Ducato
 * Third Wiki Awards – Brandon Rhea and Squishy Vic
 * Fourth Wiki Awards – Jedi Master 76 and Solus
 * Fifth Wiki Awards – Could be YOU!

Like I said, voting will last until December 16, 2009. The two day break between the host selection and awards nominations is to allow the co-hosts time to set up the categories and the like, unless it’s obvious before the end of the host selection who the hosts will be, at which point we can just start the nomination process early. I say that since I hope the two obvious winners (assuming it looks to be that way) would be talking beforehand as to how the categories would be set up.

Anyway, vote TWICE and ONLY twice. Also, those two votes must be for two separate people. No funny business like last time. All matters of the voting policy apply. Please be civil. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:16, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) I nominate Wylind to be a host, since he had expressed interest in the position a few months ago. Plus I feel he will be on top of things.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says... ''' 04:27, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) He's a good choice.-- Josh Bender Talk 05:00, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Yep. Ty294  {Talk}  14:45, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Absolutely. --Thenorthernman (Talk) 16:12, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) This is a definite for me. I'm withholding a second vote for a little while until everyone who wants to nominate themselves or nominate someone else does so. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 17:54, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Having no life is a good thing for hosts.--Bluethunder213 (Talk) 23:17, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

I nominate myself. I'm here almost every day, even if I don't make any edits. I'm perfect for the role since I don't have any complications or events to deter me from performing my (non-existent) duties as a host.-- Josh Bender Talk 05:00, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) With Wylind already up it became a toss up between Unit and Rhea for me. Ty294  {Talk}  14:45, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Aye. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:54, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm what they call a "box ticker" - of an ethnic and political minority on the site. Nominated because I can. --Darth tom  (Message me) (Contributions) 17:18, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't mind hosting these Wiki Awards. Also, like Tom said, nominated myself since I can. ---Ping(JediCommando) 23:08, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

For those who don’t know, beyond choosing the categories for the wiki awards, the co-hosts are a fairly insignificant position. They don’t decide anything, there are no judgments, no special votes to be cast, no nothing. Outside of the categories, it’s just a ceremonial position. I wanted to make sure those who were new to this were aware of that. =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:26, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
