This is an archive of the votes obtained by the winner of User of the Month for October 2008.

Support

 * 1) After a long discussion on the IRC, I have decided to nominate Arav for UoTM. This has nothing to do with his request he left on my talk page - I admit, it kind of solidified the deal - because I had plans to nominate him after Solus' successful bid for the UoTM. Anyway, my reasons for choosing Arav are as follows.
 * 2) *Arav joined the wiki in late 2006, and his activity has remained relatively steady throughout his time here with us. During his time as a user, he has joined Project Cruentus, I would argue his chief community article-based project to the Wiki. He, along with Darth tom, have proven that we can organize a group of users in the community to collaborate on an article without dissolving into petty groups like clubs and stuff like that. If you would argue that PC has no major articles, I would argue that it has 1 FA so far, and one GA with one or two more on the way.
 * 3) *Second, he has been providing input on community subjects quite regularly, and does not hesitate to make his opinion noted. He is frequently involved in community consensus and discussions, and makes voting on GAs, UoTM, and QoTW a habit.
 * 4) *Arav is one of the few dozen users who commonly welcomes new users. I know some people only do it from time to time - myself included - and other valuable contributors don't do it at all, but I think most veteran users overlook the advantage of a friendly greeting to a n00b.
 * 5) *I have heard that he had contributed to the deleting of junk/categoryless articles back in 2007, and while I have no knowledge of that - I was inactive at the time - I will take his word for it. In addition, he has recently begun assisting newer users with issues or problems they may have.
 * 6) **Just pointing that out, I listed the categoryless articles (from mainly late 2007 to 2006) in the things to do category in 2008. Thanks to Victor for deleting them. --Arav the Undersith (Contact Me ) (My contributions ) 05:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) *His efforts to improve the wiki have begun to become more obvious over the last few months, including but not limited to: improving grammar/spelling in articles (his own and others), starting a few forums, and helping new users to the point that would drive others (like me) insane.
 * So, to conclude, I would like to point out that Arav is an exceedingly well-rounded user, despite his age. His maturity has improved along with his writing skills, and his contributions speak for themselves. While a few things still need some work (creepy #swfanon stuff included), I believe Arav is a fine candidate for UoTM, displaying all the traits listed in the UoTM intro that I have just noticed =P &mdash;  JM ' 76 ' Ask Archives [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg|18px]] 07:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 2) >_> Yeah, I think JM pretty much covered everything, just his support vote, I feel, is enough to earn the award alone...--  CurrentBigThing  ( Speak ) 13:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Indeed. --Victortalk 16:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 5) Better than some other candidates. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 09:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, absolutely. All of these votes is a testament to how much Arav has done around here, because if this had been only a few months ago I highly doubt that you would have seen these votes. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 22:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) *Seeing your vote really makes me feel appreciated just a bit more than the rest. That is because I thought you would never ever seen your vote here. (No offence to the rest. heh heh heh, please don't strike your votes :P) --Arav the Undersith (Contact Me ) (My contributions ) 05:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with all the above -- Kathkira talk  20:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Not much more to say. Good job Arav.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 23:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Never would've thought I would've seen this. Still, Arav is pretty deserving for this award. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 00:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
