-However it may be early.

Abit too early, but a reporter's award has already been made, but I haven't really decided whether to use it or not. Isn't that great yet IMO.

Death, how about a press hat you know the hat's in the movie that has a piece of paper sticking out instead of the newspaper  Zephalian  11:48, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

TBH if this award is really coming up, Bovell should get it before anybody else. Pedro9basket (talk) 18:44, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Me and PresEden have done stuff as well. Battlelogs 9, 10 and a whole host of other stuff have been covered by the pair of us... - 19:12, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - supporting for all others save myself (per voting rules) - 16:35, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Support - Quite late on the support, kinda forgot about this..

3RDRANGER for Newcomer's Award
From the days of him being a anon (Yuri and me wanted him to make an account) he has been pretty active in the blogs and doing some edits. He shows some potential over the coming months

 * Weak(ish) Support - while he has shown good promise, he has had a habit of getting into a bit of a row with our friendly county troll. - 16:35, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

X048J for Editor's award
Pretty simple. X048J has done over 2,000 edits in a shorter time than most dedicated editors do a thousand. He has done all of that without much complaint or that much attention, just working away in the background. So, I nominate X048J for the Editor's Award

 * Support - Per Nomination

Pedro for Editors award
While he has had a lot of stuff lavished upon him (i.e. he's already a TU), Pedro's done a very similar job to X048J. Also, he's been very active in non-Mainspace stuff, and has a really high working quality to him.

 * Weak Oppose - Not really the award for this situation, his mainspace needs some work. Maybe the Goodwill Award would be more appropriate?
 * Hmm, maybe. - 17:18, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sactage for innovator's award
It's a rather odd one here. While he's been inactive at periods, the introduction of URL to the wiki has been a huge bonus, doing what would take us ages in mere hours. URL's been a real help to us over these past months, and without Sac controlling the bot (and introducing it in the first place) I think we'd really have had problems over the last few months with all sorts of problems. Therefore, Sactage for Innovator's award

EDIT - To put it simply, the innovator's award is for people who bring good new stuff to the wiki. URL is a new thing for the wiki, as a dedicated bot. It's done 3000+ good things (i.e. edits) and hasallowed us to free up manpower for other tasks. That to me is innovation, even if there are other ways of doing it.

 * Oppose - For innovator's award? Definitely not! He uses Auto-Wiki Browser, which is a free, open-source program that anyone could use: in fact, I used it quite a bit when I was replacing old templates and template fields, et cetera. Bovell also used it more than a few times. Maybe for an editors award, I'd support, but not an innovator's award.

 * yrue. But the fact that he created a specific bot that was originally set up so that admins could also control it is much more than just using AWB. Tell me, if he hadn't proposed the use of URL, who would have? - 17:18, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think it really matters. Somebody else using a bot would've, at some point (it happens). It's not as if its actions are ones we cannot live without. Йура [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 17:25, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * An FYI, I don't use solely use AutoWikiBrowser. I use my own, closed-source bot framework to run URL most of the time. There's always the odd task that I need AWB for, such as certain replacements, which I find easier to do in a framework with a fully implemented GUI. Also, I modify the AWB source code and add functions as I need them, so I'm not using the stock application. Plus, I can make URL entirely controllable from IRC, which I know for a fact cannot be done using AWB. 19:31, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Long story short, his bot is self-programmed in python and is totally unaffiliated with AWB. --Callofduty4 19:35, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
