Votes

 * Rusty-112 - Though he has been a little inactive in the past, Rusty has made up for it by creating numerous articles, cleaning up, and undoing vandalism like a crazy maniac in the past few weeks. Which is, IMO, enough to be Halopedian of the Month. --Colonel Grade One.png  General5 7    talk    contribs    email   20:42, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rusty-112 - As per General5 7.
 * Rusty-112 - Likewise. Rusty has made some excellent contributions to Evolutions related pages, he's deserved this for a while now. - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  22:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rusty-112 - I'm surprised he hasn't got it yet, he's made many good edits. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091201175140/bioshock/images/thumb/f/f7/80.png/20px-80.png  El Ammo Bandito, "¿Sería tan amable?"  03:50, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Durandal-217 - Again, Durandal's contributions are unnoticed. Just like during the pasts few months, he is forgotten. His amazing contributions already proves that he is worthy of becoming an HOTM. -- (_)LTR/-\ FRCE 04:15, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Durandal-217 - I probably almost never see his edits because I'm asleep. But whenever I do they are always helpful to the articles, --"Why am I here and what the hell are you?"The guy who hates his username. 04:39, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rusty-112 - He's been extremely productive lately, creating and improving tons of Evolutions-related articles. His contributions are great not only in quantity, but in quality as well. Like most of the time, it's not an easy decision. Durandal's contributions are equally good, but Rusty's simply been a lot more active recently. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 07:04, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Durandal-217 — As per Ultra Force.
 * Durandal-217 - As per his nomination last month. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 11:59, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Durandal-217 - As per nomination last month.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (Σάπτανκ ) 13:54, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rusty-112 - As per Jugus. - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 15:32, May 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Rusty-112 - He hasn't gotten it yet? - S.B.44   [Talk] |undefined 02:39, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to reserve judgment, knowing what it feels like to lose. I am kinda going for Rusty, as I believe over 2,000 edits means you're pretty devoted. But I believe in quality over quantity, and I cannot pick which one is better. But if Durandal truly loves contributing to the wikia, he'll get his chance some day. I think he is, as of now, a little too unqualified. This is merely my opinion, so don't base you're votes off of this. --Fluffball Gato 04:29, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine and you're entitled to your opinion. Though I'm a bit concerned your what it feels like to lose part. There's no winner or loser for HOTM, you don't win it. You earn it. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 08:01, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

I honestly cannot see why so many people are voting for Durandal over Rusty. No offense to Durandal when I say this, but I every one that voted for him said "his contributions are being ignored". I looked over his contributions to see what they meant, and I cannot for the life of me see how he deserves this over Rusty. Durandal has been pretty inactive over the last two months, and most of the edits he made were generally minor, sans a few. Rusty on the other hand, has been extremely active over the past month, and has made outstanding contributions to Evolutions related pages, and often creating and writing out in full several pages a day. Not only does he have quantity, he has the more important quality on his side as well. And in comparison, I just don't think Durandal is a worthy candidate. I do acknowledge his contributions in the past, but people, that was the past, and this is Halopedian of the Month, not "Halopedian of Generally Recent Times With Exception to the Past Few Weeks". -  Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  17:45, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Completely agree with this. Rusty-112 has been editing like a maniac in the past weeks, while Durandal has been less active than the average Halopedian in the same time. - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 17:57, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. ;) -  5 əb'7 aŋk (Σάπτανκ ) 17:59, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, can you enlighten us as to why you hold your opinion? Our reasons for nominating Rusty is his continuing and outstanding contributions to Evolutions related material and his high activity. So what are your reasons for voting for Durandal? - Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  18:10, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
