According to the newly passed Self-Voting Amendment, users may no longer vote for themselves in HOTM elections.

---

Before You Vote

• Only votes from users who have accounts on Halopedia and whose vote are cast while being logged in will count. The account must have been created at least one month before the vote and have at least 50 article edits.

• For example if one is voting for HOTM for the month of October then the user must have created thier account in July or before July.

• Votes will be counted for next month. Please vote on the section for next month, because only the votes in that section will be counted.
• You can vote one time only. If you wish to change your vote, cross out (but do not remove) any previous votes you have made.
• Please bold your nomination so it is easier to see.
• In the event of a tie the results from the edit count page will be used as a tie breaker.
• You must put your vote with your signature in the voting area. In the end votes with signatures are the only ones that will be counted.

Reminder to all users

• Please bold your nomination so it can be clearly counted.
• Please add your vote to the tally, shown under "Nominees".

• Blemo - He is awesome, he helped me get started as soon as I joined Halopedia and has been helping me with things ever since, like awards and userboxes, and he has helped a lot of people in the past too.

Comments

Can you just add yourself? Because that's what Blemo just did... Terin 14:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, anybody can nominate themselves as long as they fit the nominee criteria. --Caboose File:Caboose.jpg ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 17:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

And where is this criteria? Respect them Grunts, Mouse File:XtremeBoxer1.jpg 20:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The criteria is under 'Before You Vote'. And yes, even though its considered bad form, you can nominate yourself. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 01:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll nominate myself next time. --File:Wiki CoH.PNG Zealot Elite^{"ENERGY SWORD"}File:Zealot.jpg

Okay, am I the only one who thinks it's kinda weird that User:An old lady, User:Jimmy Time, and User:Blemo all sign the same way with the "--", all voted for Blemo, and all edit eachother's pages? Not trying to accuse anyone of anything, but it IS kinda... weird.... g^üé_ߣ^¥-π_éҐ^∫ø_ñ¥-^†ħ_îИ^g¥ 03:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

No, you're not; however, Blemo did ask a bunch of his friends to vote for him in the next election, so, some may be new and just click the button on the edit bar thingy. And, Blemo does have 739 contribs on user talk pages...whatever...yeah. I'm On Fire! ^FeedTheFlame _WatchMySmoke 20:39, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

But... do you know the twelve icons on top of the editing page? The ones that you click for the BOLD, Italic, and links to be on the edit page? Well, the one third to the right... the one with the squiggly lines is the signature icon. When you click that, It gives you "--~~~~" with the two dashes. A lot of Apple computers (you should check those out too) Don't have the "~" sign, so they have to use the sig icon in order to sign. I'm not sure about the other two users that do this, but I use it because I'm lazy. :P BTW, If you notice on that page, Caboose does it also.--Jimmy Time 22:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Eh?--File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg

Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi 04:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm just too lazy to type it out. :D --Caboose File:Caboose.jpg ^{Orange Juice and Cookies} 00:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

HaloDude's catching up! Does anyone know what FTW means? I know, gtg, btw, and a couple others. :P --Click Here to See a Hot Chick! 03:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I have two questions: Should BOLDING a nominee be a rule as well? and Anyone know when the elections end? mango 04:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

No, it's just bolding makes it look easier and easier to count. It's not a rule. File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi

I've heard RR say that FTW means for the win. In fact, I think his motto is Halopedia FTW. Oh, and to Jimmy Time's comment, I too am to lazy to type the squiggles out. --Captain Jolly W. Roberts File:Arg me be a pirate.PNG 05:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

That's odd... I counted 8 of HaloDude's votes. --File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi 16:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Nope, theres 11. Would you like me to recount? -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 04:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay... after your vote, it turned to 11. --File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg

Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi My Xbox Live motto is "Halopedia FTW". ;-) FTW = For the Win, not F*** the World, as Caboose first thought. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant ^TALK • WORK • _SPEAK 17:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong, HaloDude is one of the best users on Halopedia, bar none, and maybe-- no, IS better than me. I wish I could vote for him, but it seems that I'm stuck between me and HaloDude. --File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi

No matter who wins, halopedia will have a deserving winner. HaloDude 10:41, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Am I the only one who finds it...improper to ask people to vote for you? Peace. I'm On Fire! ^FeedTheFlame _WatchMySmoke 00:36, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

No. Not at all. This whole thing has turned into a popularity contest. Its suddenly become about how many school friends you convince to join the site to vote for you, rather than who's done the best work for Halopedia. I mean, if you take a look at the top 50 mainspace contributors, I don't think Blemo's even listed. -- Manticore ^{Talk | CSV} 14:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Manticore is correct, to a point. Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the Halopedia Team ^TALK • _SPEAK 21:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Having a mainspace isn't JUST about being HOTM. It's that, AND the fact that you helped many users with their troubles and letting them get on with their lives. Maybe you introduced them to a wikia, and they have fun. They could have become a part of the Top 50 contributors. I'm not saying that I disagree, but it isn't about how many school friends that vote for you. Heck, only four out of fourteen people I know as friends here are school friends. However, I do agree with Manticore about the popularity contest part. --UoH First Lieutenant Blemo •^{Talk •Contributions} File:LTBar.png

Is voting for yourself illegal? The one that I submitted for myself wasn't counted. Yes, I do sound like a dumb@$$. --File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • _{Semper Fi}

Never mind.--File:GRAW Wallpaper.jpg Blemo ^Talk • Contributions • Semper Fi
