This is the page where the official Avatar Wiki community award, the User of the Month, is nominated and voted upon.

The User of the Month earns a userbox that is a permanent badge. This user is also featured on the main page. The award is only given out to a user once — after winning the award once, users may not win it again for one year.

This user won the User of the Month award in 2012.

Requirements

The User of the Month is a user who:

• Makes edits to Avatar Wiki of the highest quality (not necessarily quantity). This may be through:
  • The dedicated improvement of articles (large rewrites and additions done at once rather than numerous small fixes over time)
  • The creation of new content (fanon articles, very creative fan fiction or great blog posts)
  • Valued and constructive contributions to discussion.
• Shows maturity and kindness in his or her participation in the community.
• Has been an Avatar Wikian for at least a week.
• Is not an administrator or bureaucrat.

It should be noted that users who make a large number of very minor changes to boost their edit count are unlikely to be nominated. Remember that people eligible to nominate are all experienced users.

Procedures

• Users must have 50 edits and be a regular contributor for a month to be able to nominate.
• Users who have been absent for extended periods of time (3 months or more) will be considered as "new users" for the purposes of this award and must make 50 edits and be contributor for a further month before being able to nominate.
• Any user with more than 10 edits is eligible to vote.

Stage 1: Nominating

1. Nominations will be accepted in the first week of any given month.
2. Users may not nominate themselves. Users must be nominated by another user. The user then has to accept the nomination.
3. Users may not nominate each other (e.g. A can't nominate B and B nominate A in the same month)

Stage 2: Voting

1. Voting will occur, starting on the third day of any given month, and ending at the end of any given month.
2. There are no "oppose" votes, just "support" votes placed under each candidate's name. Voters may also wish to make a comment on their vote. Vote by typing # {{Support}} ~~~~ under the user you wish to vote for.
3. Everyone's vote counts as one vote. Admins do not hold extra power.
4. At the end of the month, the user with the most votes will become the User of the Month. An administrator will hand out the award and change the main page to reflect the result.

Master Ratava

Nomination

I, Henryjh98, nominate Master Ratava as User of the Month for August 2012. Master Ratava has shown to be able to create amazing fanons and do much editing to help maintain the wiki. He has also proved to be a valuable friend by helping out to edit my new fanon and is starting on another user's fanon to help them. He truly deserves this award.

Random Ranaun

Nomination

I, Uiop60, nominate Random Ranaun for User of the Month for August 2012. He is an extremely consistently contributing user, always willing to do tedious things just too complex for a bot run to do, such as adding guest star credits, replacing images, and adding appearance templates to VA pages, etc. He has become a great asset to the Wiki, and deserves this recognition. Uiop60 15:52, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Uiop, this a pleasant surprise. I accept this nomination. :) —Random Ranaun ^{(Talk to me!)} 16:30, July 2, 2012 (UTC)

Annawantimes

Nomination

I, Technology Wizard, nominate Annawantimes as User of the Month for August 2012. Annawantimes is a terrific contributor. He is alert, responsive, trustworthy, and helpful. He never lets anybody down and stays on top of his game. He is truly a friendly person and more than worthy to be a candidate for this award.

Thanks for the nomination, Tech; the kind words mean a lot, but I've already received the award and I'd like to see someone else get it this time. :) Annawantimes (Talk) 06:21, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Lemongrab

Nomination

I, Fruipit, nominate Lemongrab as user of the month. He is a very kind, amicable user, constantly making worthwhile contributions to the pages. He is friendly, always willing to lend a hand, despite being so fresh. I think he is a promising candidate.

I gladly accept this nomination :) Lemongrab 19:13, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
