===Votes===
*'''ImperatorExercitus''' - In the few months that IE has been with us, he's shown extreme dedication towards not only the wikia, but the users. Constantly I see him on the IRC channel, being one of the most mature (and funny) user on there. In addition to his attitude, he's quickly became one of Halopedia's rising stars with hundreds if not thousands of contributions under his belt.

*'''Devout Atheist'''- Because of his number and quality of edits, I believe he should be the next user of the month. --<tt><sup><font color="#7BA05B">[[User:Odysseas-spartan-53|Odysseas]]-[[User talk:Odysseas-spartan-53|Spartan]]</font></sup>[[Special:Contributions/Odysseas-spartan-53|<font color="#4B5320"><font size="5">53</font></font>]]</tt>|File:O-S-53.jpg|40px]] 17:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

*'''ImperatorExercitus''' - I'm doing this for several reasons. First, I'm hoping to avoid a tie. However, the primary reason is that while Devout Atheist has a high editcount, the "quality" of his edits is disputable. Though I do not wish to call his enthusiasm into question, it cannot be denied that a disturbing number of his edits have been questionable; none of his single edits involve more than adding a space, removing a double template, adding empty sections, or such. In contrast, past candidates have often written entire pages of information, including but not limited to entire articles of information. Whenever possible, I have done my best to uphold this standard. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Sig}}

::I feel I must disagree. I add the sections so others will know to add relevant information to them, and generally, I go back to add to it when I have relevant information. And as for ''adding a space'', not exactly. What I did was compress the article as much as possible to make it easier for future editors. After IE informed me this is frowned upon, you can see that I no longer have edits like that. The times when I just removed a duplicate stub template or another small item like that was when I saw ''nothing else'' to edit in the article. You will also notice that I have plenty of grammatical corrections, and the reason why I check the little box that says ''"This is a minor edit."'' is because they are just that. -Devout Atheist

:::I have no problem with minor edits. In fact, if I wish to correct grammar mistakes, I do just that. However, my concern is focused upon edits such as the ones located [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Double_EXP_Weekend&action=history here]. If you wish, I can scan through your recent contributions and show you more. However, if you wish, I shall provide quite a few edits of mine that are worthy. For example, could you display a single one of [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ambush_on_the_Covenant&diff=596009&oldid=595991 this], [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Type-25_Assault_Gun_Carriage&diff=next&oldid=592996 this], [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Certain_Weapons_Against_Certain_Enemies&diff=588757&oldid=577701 this], or [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Certain_Weapons_Against_Certain_Enemies&diff=next&oldid=588757 this]? Those aren't the only "grand" edits of mine; feel free to look at ''any'' of my edits at my [[Special:Contributions/ImperatorExercitus|contributions]]. Cheers. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Sig}}

::::Oh yeah, I noticed you were having trouble signing in. In order to do this, simply do this <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. That might be why your "sig isn't working".

:::::Cheers. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Sig}}

::::::Well I guess what you're referring to was of my contributions to the article as of ''August'', which I admit were minor and numerous, before you (or anyone else) told me otherwise. But as you will see in that history the more recent edits have also been minor, but less numerous. I never claimed to have made ''grand'' edits, in fact, I generally thrive on grammar, adding links and such. I didn't ask to be nominated for HotM, so if you feel that I don't qualify to be a HotM candidate, you can bring that up with the person who nominated me.

:::::::::Done. {{User:ImperatorExercitus/Sig}}

:So, can I ask you, why do you want to win so bad that it makes you ''constantly'' say you're better than him and ''always'' bring up bad edits of his and only good of yours, because you have edits that are useless and unneeded too? Guess what, everyone does.  Remember [http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Alex_Garland&diff=628468&oldid=628466 this]? (I'm not going to browse through your contribs just to find some more). A completely, poorly written, lowest quality article I've ever seen made by someone who always says they're always "grand". And who cleaned it up? Not you. Your edits aren't "grand", edits are edits. And actually looking at your contribs now, it's hilarious to see you reverting about five of DA's edits, even if he was just replacing a word. Even on IRC, like earlier today, you were completely ignoring two people who were trying to calmly talk to you about why you were voting for yourself and ultimately got pissed off when you /ignored them - showing your immaturity until you turned that conversation into a hostile one by that.

Almost everyone who wins this award is more or less a popular public figure in a way. I feel Devout Atheist is hard working, deserving, and the fact that I nominated them without knowing who they are (hence the "they", etc, i'm sorry) at all shows their work has payed off in my opinion.
