 * 1) If you're at all active in the larger Star Wars Fanon community, you'll likely already know everything I'm about to say. Nevertheless, "out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness,"src I am obligated to say my piece anyway. Sakaros has been a hugely helpful presence on the wiki, especially in the last few months (or years, I guess. Crazy how time flies). He's very active on the chat, he patrols the Recent Changes, and he reaches out to users&mdash;both those who ask for help and who need help. He's been a cool head during tense moments, a helping hand during chaotic moments, and he's a genuinely fun and funny guy. Okay, maybe that last part isn't a requirement for Moderators, but it does indicate his friendliness that helps in his interactions with other users. He's a stickler for policy, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's got a good eye for what rules are the most important, where flexibility should and shouldn't be given, and how to interpret the often vaguely worded literature handed down by our founder father(s). With those qualifications in mind, you might still be asking "Why now?" As it happens, Star Wars Fanon has actually seen some pretty large growth in the last year or so. The difference between the Eleventh and Twelfth Wiki Awards is a pretty good indication of that. Unsurprisingly, that means the amount of work that goes into maintaining the wiki has gone up. Now, I'm not complaining. I genuinely enjoy my time spent on Star Wars Fanon (otherwise I wouldn't do it&mdash;it's not like they pay me), but I've noticed the increase all the same. I've also noticed that Sakaros has already stepped up to the plate. He's been helping a lot of users via both Chat and Message Walls recently, and it's appreciated. In light of all this, I think it's only fair that we acknowledge the work he's already doing with the proper title and ability to do that work as easily and efficiently as he can.
