: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.

Perhaps bias as co-workers had something to do with the nomination as well as Jack's work? Maybe so, but if we're taking bias into account, we ought to re-consider nominations we ourselves have done in the past out of friendship; I myself admittedly have nominated [[User:Kougermasters|so]][[User:General5 7|me]] [[User:JEA13|friends]] out of my personal favour along with their work. That doesn't mean they didn't deserve it. In fact, isn't it better off to know someone personally when you nominate them for an award? Doesn't that make it easier to judge them? Jack nonetheless, as a mediawiki developer has made his own impact of contribs to the wiki. Whether you think he deserves the award is up to each individual, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Jed's nomination may seem strange and biased to most of you, but don't take it out on him or Jack by assuming they're sockpuppets. Just his opinion, as illogical it sounds.

::JEA13, don't even try starting another argument again. I know you dislike me, but you must understand that once someone apologizes, it means something. The next time you read one's comment like that, forgive him, then move on as usual without complaining. --[[User:Ultra Force|<span style="color:gray">(_)LTR/-\ F( )RCE</span>]] 12:45, June 9, 2010 (UTC) | |||

After reading the countless comments above, I can say one thing: what a load of fuss about nothing. Yes, I personally disagree with Jack Phoenix's nomination, for the same reasons outlined by JEA13 and the like, and while Fluffy, Cally and Ultra Force clash for attention, this whole thing is a bit ridiculous. Despite my serious contempt and self-hatred for using this quote, "This is not an aggressive election campaign, this is a friendly vote to see who has give [sic] some great contributions", and thus I advise people to follow the words. Halopedian of the Month has gotten far too controversial the last few months, and it's getting on my nerves; nominees, users and admins alike. All calm down and think for a moment how idiotic and disrespectful a large amount of you are being, and let's try and bring Halopedian of the Month back to its former glory as a friendly, well mannered little vote to give recognition to hard-working users. I dearly hope Halopedian of the Month does not meet the same fate as Halopedia News, Halopedia Warz, the Usergroups and the Halopedia Podcast, as quite frankly, another loss of a community feature such as this, and Halopedia will be a lot less fun. All of what I've just said may not even make any difference, but I thought I'd at least try to reach out to the "masses". | |||
