 * Sitheris: He is one of the most co-operative users here at Halopedia, and he has done so much in an attempt to improve our communities. He is a friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable user who should be recognized. SSgt. Razgriz  23:34, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

 * EwCDnaudee419: Wow, quite a wierd username, anyway, it is my belief that he had made superb contributions, and some particular comments and edits with should be noted. Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan Contribution 13:26, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * EwCDnaudee419 Hello, I am friends with EwCDnaudee419. Ever since I met him he has given valuable information, and support with any problems i've had. I think he would do great as a Halopedian of the month, and the help he has given everyone is enough for him to deserve it.MASTER R0ACH


 * Simon rjh: This is an abnormal move on my part (I think this is my second ever HotM vote) but Simon has made, perhaps, the most important contribution to this community this month with his petition and subsequent blog calling for the end of points. I make this only in part because of the specific contribution but because the contribution is a form that has rarely been utilized in Halopedia and should be commended.  --forgottenlord 02:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Simon rjh: Simon is someone that has stood out on a regular basis. he improves quality and quantity of our articles, and his recent activities are based solely around helping and improving the community. I'm with forgottenlord on this one, his efforts should be commended.  Ha <font color="Red">lo <font color="Black">Du <font color="Red">de 18:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Simon rjh - As per forgottenlord, HaloDude, and Grievous797. Regards, Pryo 'Zarkum,  [ iTalk ] [ iWork ] [ iWrite]|undefined 22:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Simon rjh - If not just to make this month interesting...anyways, he's made several vital contributions, the main one being his petition. In addition, he's been active on Halopedia, as almost all the activity on the Recent Changes is due to him. Good luck on your RFA too, Simon. :D Sincerely, General ÌṂρεσάḹόґ MyVictories [[Image:Cavalier_achievement.gif|28px]] 13:06, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Sitheris? Are you kitting me!? He has less than 100 mainspace edits, the other nominees have more than 1,000. Excuse me, but wtf? Pryo 'Zarkum, [ iTalk ] [ iWork ] [ iWrite]|undefined 11:53, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It isn't just about editcount, it's about quality of those edits, communication and enthusiasm. Being an asset to Halopedia doesn't necessarily mean you contribute a lot to the articles. General   simon   r  j  h 11:55, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand that. But obviously, you didn't look at some of the differences on his contribs. They are mostly the additions of links, or a spelling fix up. Forgottenlord, for example, doesn't have a huge amount of namespace edits, but has been a great asset to the community, and very enthusiastic and constructive on controversial blog posts. Sitheris lacks significant contributions and the kind of effort and enthusiasm shown by FL. Pryo 'Zarkum,  [ iTalk ] [ iWork ] [ iWrite]|undefined 12:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I meant it as a guideline for voting in general, not just for Sitheris, who is a bad example because of the reasons you stated. Forgottenlord is a very good example, again, for the reasons you provided, although he used to contribute to articles a lot as well before his unofficial leaving. General   simon   r  j  h 12:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I've never even seen this "Sitheris" guy on Halopedia.Bllasae 14:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

We really have a problem here, who's this Sitheris guys, and I think that no users with less than 100 edits are allowed to be nominated. <font color="Silver">Master <font color="DarkGray">Chief <font color="Gray">Petty <font color="DimGray">Officer <font color="RoyalBlue">Spartan Contribution 14:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I found nothing in the policy along the lines of requirements for nominees. Pryo 'Zarkum,  [ iTalk ] [ iWork ] [ iWrite]|undefined 21:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Quit your whining. There are no requirements for being nominated, and if someone thinks the guy deserves it, so be it. You don't have to stand around shrieking "He is not worthy!" 15:32, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Whining? Shrieking? Are you trying to piss people off? Pryo 'Zarkum,  [ iTalk ] [ iWork ] [ iWrite]|undefined 19:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes Manticore has a very good point. However this is a little off-track. I thought Sitheris was a sockpuppet of someone or is that TheSodaFreak? It is definitely one of them which is a sockpuppet of Echo-1337-Rogue or whatever his name is. I however do not care if someone thinks this dude should be nominated then go and do just that. Halo and 24 fan 19:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Now that's interesting, a sockpuppet?

Ok guys lets just settle down, its not a big deal. Spirit-of-HALO 19:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Having sockpuppets is quite a big deal on halopedia. <font color="Silver">Master <font color="DarkGray">Chief <font color="Gray">Petty <font color="DimGray">Officer <font color="RoyalBlue">Spartan Contribution 04:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think it's pretty unlikly that Sitheris will get supported over the other two candidates, so there's no need to complain. Everyone is entitled to a vote. General   simon   r  j  h 09:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. <font color="MidnightBlue">Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee <font color="Purple">Battle Net<font color="Green"> My Editcount 14:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad someone nominated Simon, I was going to do it myself soon. He's by far the best candidate right now, at least in my opinion.  Ha <font color="Red">lo <font color="Black">Du <font color="Red">de 19:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Wow, Simonrjh, you swelled up the votes extremelyrapidly. At first, everyone thought that EwCDnaudee419 would have a definite win, but now you are neck-to-neck almost. Congratulations! Sincerely, General ÌṂρεσάḹόґ MyVictories  13:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Has anyone found it wierd that the their are two RfAs which have a indirect connection with HOTM (or vice versa), the RfA nominee was nominated as HOTM by the time he was nominated as admin! <font color="Silver">Master <font color="DarkGray">Chief <font color="Gray">Petty <font color="DimGray">Officer <font color="RoyalBlue">Spartan Contribution 11:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No. When they get nominated, people start thinking about all the good things they do and that's when they realize "Hey, he would be great for X". --forgottenlord 16:49, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it's coincidence though. Just my opinion. <font color="Silver">Master <font color="DarkGray">Chief <font color="Gray">Petty <font color="DimGray">Officer <font color="RoyalBlue">Spartan Contribution 07:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
