Editing Halopedia talk:Halopedian of the Month/07 2010

I don't know who to vote for because when [[User:Jugus|Jugus]] started to clean up the [[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages list]] by removing red links which made me want to nominate for this month him but he went a bit inactive (not inactive alot but he just did not make very many edits after a while) but [[User:General5 7|General5 7]] started to contribute greatly to [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)]] [[Achievement]]s which made me want to nominate her for this month but after that was done she started to make not very many contributions recently and those two nominated above I haven't seen many major contributions from them recently (no offence) so I am going to wait until I find someone making major contributions before I nominate someone.  <big><font face="Century Gothic">'''[[User:Cally99117|<font color="black">C</font>]][[User talk:Cally99117|<font color="maroon">a</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Cally99117|<font color="brown">l</font>]][[Special:Editcount/Cally99117|<font color="purple">l</font>]][[Special:EmailUser/Cally99117|<font color="red">y</font>]][[User:Cally99117/Userboxes|<font color="orange">9</font>]][[User:Cally99117/Gallery|<font color="yellow">9</font>]][[UserProfile:Cally99117|<font color="turquoise">1</font>]]UserWiki:Cally99117|<font color="lime">1</font>]][[Special:Following/Cally99117|<font color="green">7</font>]]'''</font></big> 20:49, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

:I'm sorry- I don't mean to sound suspicious, (being that he is the only other nominee at the time) but have you noticed that two of the three current voters for Jack Phoenix just ''barely'' fit the requirements? (Not SpartanSniper, the other two) I mean, they were both made rather recently and have just over 50 edits? The vast majority of users that new don't know about the HOTM, I know I didn't... Even stranger, ''both'' of them voted the first day of the voting. I'm not trying to jump to conclusions, and I'm not necessarily saying they're "fake" accounts, but you cannot deny that this is highly unusual... Especially as Jack Phoenix hasn't made an edit for a month (and even then, only to his userpage), and they shouldn't know him very well. I don't think that their votes should be nullified or anything, but could an administrator make an IP analysis? Again- I hate to say this to my own competitor, but I hate cheating. I need to say this one more time: ''I just find the situation extremely unlikely, I am not trying to get him in trouble because he is running against me! In fact, that could even make me '''not''' want to point this out, as it makes me look bad!'' I just want to check it out. '''NEW INFO:''' ''both'' of those users have their previous edits on April 5th, and after ''two'' months of no edits, they ''both'' vote for him on the same day. Now, this is getting ridiculous. Now I admit, I am becoming extremely suspicious. The chances of them not being fraud accounts is unlikely. Sorry.--[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 22:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

::Or have our IP's checked... you'll find me and Jack are about a thousand kilometers apart and in different countries. I myself have been active on wikia since 2007 and am an admin on several wikis. I noticed Jack's edits here a while back and helped him out a bit, I then figured you guys would see his good work and nominate him. When it became clear to me that his contributions had most likely gone unnoticed I decided to nominate him myself. Jack did some really good work around here and I just felt he deserved a reward for that. --[[User:Jedimca0|'''Jedimca0''']]^{([[User talk:Jedimca0|Do or Do Not, There is No Try]])} 23:39, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

:::I might just be being paranoid, but honestly, both you and that other guy who voted for him stopped editing on ''exactly'' the same day. Both of you had accounts made around the same time, and ''barely'' hit the requirements. I have no idea how you know what country he lives in, but I'll believe you until further evidence is acquired. He stopped editing in April, so you wouldn't have known him for long. --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 00:54, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong, though, I am not one of those people who attempts to destroy my competition by making false accusations: I just find it ''extremely'' unlikely that two users that have been inactive for two months and ''barely'' hit the requirements ''both'' vote for somebody who hasn't made a mainspace edit for two months. Keep in mind they all went inactive at the ''same time''! I'm still not fully convinced. I suppose it's possible that they are friends, and they made this plan months ago, but other than that: it's extremely unlikely. Look, after two months of inactivity, Jack Phoenix comes back the day of nomination! Am I the only one finding this extremely odd? --[[User talk:Sangheili Commando 021: Fluffball Gato|Fluffball Gato]] 22:47, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

:They are two different people. The reason Phoenix showed up was because he was alerted to the vote in the IRC. It isn't some vast conspiracy to steal votes or anything else. He thanked Jedimca0 for voting for him, plain and simple. No one's sockpuppeting. <b>[[User:Smoke.|<span style="color:#404040; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Smoke</span>]]^{[[User talk:Smoke.|<span style="color:#404040; font-weight:bold; font-family:Tahoma Small Cap">Sound off!</span>]]}</b> 00:15, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
