Halopedia:Usergroups/Elections/December 2008

Given the results of this election, I hereby announce that:
 * Specops306, EwCDnaudee419, and HaloDude are appointed to the Covenant of Halopedia council, this group having failed to receive five nominations.
 * Ryanngreenday, CommanderTony, and Spirit-of-HALO are appointed to the UNSC of Halopedia council, elected unopposed, this group having failed to receive five nominations.
 * That the Ancients of Halopedia and Gamers of Halopedia groups are inactive, having failed to receive sufficient nominations to appoint leadership. As such they will be suspended until such time an election is called to nominate a new council.

Manticore, Returning Officer.

This page shall be used to conduct elections for leadership of Halopedia's four usergroups.

Usergroups are lead by a council of five users. Simple voting rules apply; the users with the greatest number of votes will be appointed to the respective council. Each user holds one vote per usergroup.

If a situation arises where there are insufficient nominations for a five member council, a minimum of three users may be appointed. Usergroups which fail to reach this minimum will be declared inactive.

'''Voting criteria: Users must have at least 50 edits to the mainspace and at least three months tenure on Halopedia to vote. Nominees must meet the same criteria.'''

Administrator Manticore will act as returning officer for these elections and is not eligible to be nominated for any position. He alone will declare the results of this election.

HaloDude (4)
HaloDude is a great leader and has demonstrated time and time again both as an Administrator and a long time CoH Councilor that he can handle this task. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administrators 10:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

- He's been the foundation of the CoH, and before me and EwCDnaudee arrived, almost single-handedly held it together. -- Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  20:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

A very mature individual that I wholly respect and stand behind. Regards,  RelentlessRecusant  (Bureaucrat) (Talk) (Contribs) 04:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

He's my favourite user on halopedia, and has made himself very useful on the site. --Diemk2 21:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

As per nomination :)  1st Class   Cadet   ONI recon 111  |   12:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Specops306 (6)
Specops306 has done a great job his first term as a Councilor and as being an Administrator, I strongly believe he can handle another term as Councilor. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administrators 10:31, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Dragonblaze-052 23:18, 2 December 2008 (UTC) Specops is a very responsible user who is quite qualified to hold this position.

As per above.ImperatorExercitus 00:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

As per above. I believe he is the best for this position.--Odysseas-spartan-53 14:44, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

He is one of the most active admins, and I belive he is doing a great job (at whatever he is acctually doing).--Notanoob

As per all above. A very deserving member. Xenos  Dawn  02:30, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

EwCDnaudee419 (5)
As long as he has been a CoH councilor, he has practiced civility and maturity that is perfect for this leadership role, on top of thousands of great contributions to Covenant related articles. As more CoH related information pours in from Halo Wars as well as The Cole Protocol, I think he will be up to the task.


 * I will always gladly accept the role of leader. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administrators 21:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

You deserve this role. Sub-71 01:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

If this is the right place to vote...then I support EwCDnaudee419 for being such a great user, and for helping me so much! He is also very mature, civil, and fair, and has proven to be a great leader in the past! Lieutenant  Commander   Kouger masters  02:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

As per Ghost Sangheili' s nomination and Kougermasters. I think that EwC is the most respected Administrator. He is also a very good editor and good in "rendering" text. I personally admire him more that every one. JEA13  My comms device  17:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe that EwC can be a Great leader Captain_Nexue

I completely agree w/ Ghost Sangheili. --

He is a good friend, and has helped me figure out some stuff that i didn't understand. As per Ghost Sangheili's and JEA13's nomination, i think that he is one of the most highly respected Admininstrator. User:grunt minion22

Spirit-of-HALO (0)
Solely on his progress in the CoH alone, I nominate SoH out of interest as to his maturity and responsibility, and whether he can hold a position like this with success. I feel he has earned a chance at this.  Ti <font color="Orange">ger <font color="Black">rr <font color="Orange">rr 21:47, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but Spirit-of-HALO just does not seem like he will be able to bear the responsibility. Nothing against him, but at times he has been slightly hot headed, immature, and impulsive, and I don't think he is ready to accept the burden of leadership. Lieutenant  Commander   Kouger masters  03:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hot headed, immature, and impulsive? Explain please. Colonel   Comm|   Mission|   Papers|   Commendations|   H.Q.

Are you satisfied with my explanation? Lieutenant  Commander   Kouger masters  04:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I honestly dont care about the Ban History, The First two bans was a misunderstanding, the other two was when someone figured out my password, now I only spoken to you a few times, nether being rash nor "hot headed" nor with other users. And yes I'm satisfied with your explanation. Colonel   Comm|   Mission|   Papers|   Commendations|   H.Q.   04:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry but Spirit-of-HALO is a bit to aggressive of a editor to be a good leader. Whispering 06:54, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that this speaks for itself. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:27, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually getting a bit tired of this (and no I'm not angry nor disappointed just want to clarify and "clear my name" to fellow users and also for those who tend to imagine the tone of my voice and my facial looks during these type of messages), but seriously, does the block log make me a bad person? People do learn from mistakes you know, in fact, people just assumed I was point whoring. Also, people didn't ask, nor said if I needed help or if I got confused with editing, and when I did get banned, no warning was given to me (I just happened to finish my edit when I noticed I was blocked, I didn't even know what point whoring was =S, nor never intended to, believe me, the points, in my opinion, should go). Now I did review the rules when I started getting active, you have my word, but bringing my block log and saying this person isn't eligible to do this, or I oppose this person, cause of his/her block log when I get nominated for this or that and is not up for leadership cause of his or her past "vandal work". I do understand some users look up names on the block log, and want to make sure they want to have the best of Halopedia leading them (I also know that if you are blocked, you are neglected to get nominated for certain things, I know), even if its a small job. Seeing how I progressed through Halopedia normally, casually reading and editing, I would just like for people not bring up my log every time I get mention for something, I basically ignore it. I'm not being prideful nor don't want attention, you can have opinions about me, that's fine, I'm just fatigued to hear this all the time, I hope you guys understand and thank-you for reading this.

 * I agree with SoH here. This isn't an RfA, this isn't a request for operatorship etc. If it was, then yes, i'd consider the block log. But this is a usergroup election. The block log, which in this case wasn't at all too serious in my opinion, isn't going to stop him doing the job. If you're concerned about him point whoring, then you should know editing usergroup pages gains no points, so no harm done. He's done enough decent editing that three administrators have granted him promotion on several occasions, and he has fairly earned a chance at this.

 * You know, I changed my mind. I decided to give SoH a chance, so I erased my opposition, voted for ECDnaudee419, and voted for you on the UoH!!! People vote for SoH in the CoH and UoH! He deserves it! If you don't then, "Avada Kedavra!" Kouger masters  15:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Ryanngreenday (5)
He has contributed a lot to the UoH, fits the voting criteria, and been a General in the UoH for three terms already, and i feel he can handle it again.  1st <font color="#red">Class   Cadet   ONI recon 111  |   16:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

He is one of the most active users and admins on the site. He is a UoH general as well. He is a good help to newbies, and generally helpful, and respective leader in the UoH. I believe he deserves it. Good luck!

Who wouldn't support CT? Gunnery Sergeant Gonzalez 04:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I almost voted neutral because of the fact that he hasn't been very active in the UoH recently, but I changed my mind because CommanderTony is one of our most respected and verteran users on the site, and his hundreds of thousands of contributions have kept Halopedia running smoothly! Lieutenant  Commander   Kouger masters  04:04, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

As per my nomination. I wouldn't ever oppose CT, 'cause he rocks! I inspire to be like him one day...

He is very hardworking and fair on Halopedia and when it comes to UoH promotions and recruits etc. He definetely deserves this. <font color="#FF0000">PK Fire! <font color="#4682B4">PK Thunder!

This is something I have been waiting to do for a very long time, I nominate SoH. He is one of the hardest working members of the UoH and of Halopedia as a whole, he'd make a great General and I hope to serve with him during his first term.--Bam! Ryan   The   Greatest  19:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Simon is a fantastic user, and has been a great general for the past few terms he's served in. General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 12/07/2008


 * I'm sorry, I'm going to have to decline this nomination, although it would have been my third (fourth?) consecutive term. I have very little time for Halopedia now, and although I do occasionally browse and edit, I simply cannot put in the required time for usergroup leadership, without letting the groups down by inactivity. By no means am I turning my back on the community - as many users know, I still frequent IRC and play Halopedians on Xbox Live. Again, sorry. -  Δ  simon   rj  h  Δ 00:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Simon is a good leader, but he has not been very active lately and I fear he will continue his inactivity in the future. So I am going to have to vote neutral.
