| {{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Mediarch's reason}} Cheddar is a real jack of all trades and contributes to many areas of the wiki. 3D modles, map images, demonstration videos, video thumbnails, paint variants, etc etc etc. Cheddar does a little bit of everything. He makes an effort to improve older images by fixing things like white outlines and images that use incorrect models and such. His infobox and class gallery images always feel natural and have great flexes and poses and even tries to sorta match the theme of the cosmetic in many cases. He's done tons for the 3D models project making sure everthing is nice and consistent. He consistnly produces well done weapon demonstration videos. On top of being a great image creator he also is a big help to others doing a fair bit of "behind the scenes" stuff that won't really show up in his contriubutions but really make a difference like helping remove jiggle bones from models and fixing wonky origins for some cosmetics. I whipped up a little overview of some of Cheddar's contributions. <br>'''NOTE''' This is <big>'''not'''</big> a fully complete list like [[User:Gabrielwoj|Gabrielwoj]] tends to make as that would have probably taken me a few days.

| {{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Lexar's reason}}TidB is quite active on the wiki, here is what i have observed.
 
* Whenever I am just sitting or doing something on the IRC, TidB always appears in the recent changes logs doing something helpful, adding more to articles, translating ,creating untranslated articles or actively discussing things in the IRC.
 
* Will always greet new users with a warm welcome and help them out if they ask.
 
* If anyone makes any template changes, big, small, dictionary additions, core templates, etc, TidB just jumps to the task and translates the template work ASAP and does so without error.
 
I may not know the German language but I have seen known German editors such as Agentbull commending his work only confirming even further that this user has done some very good work to only help better the wiki.
 
<br>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Fetzi's reason}}TidB deserves the cap all the way. He's always friendly, helps out and welcomes all new editors + he creates, updates, translates, improves teamplates and a lot of articles. Furthermore he's very active in the irc and did some hard work to help the german editors to ease the work of translating with his great [[User:TidB/WikiTranslator|WikiTranslator]]-Python program which saves us a lot of time and work.
 
<br />{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Nikno's reason}}Not only is TidB helping me whenever I got any questions or problems with the wiki, he furthermore welcomes all other new German translators, motivates them and helps them to translate, correcting them if they do something wrong. Mentionable is also the steadiness of TidB's valuable contributions, since the very beginning of his work he never had any big pauses in his time here. Besides this activity in the wiki you can also find him on the IRC very often, discussing important topcis or answering some questions. He really is a worthy succesor to our last great German translator, AgentBull.
 
<br>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|AgentBull's reason}}TidB is clearly our best (most active, most professional, most helpful) translator at the moment. There are no large gaps in his [http://stats.wiki.tf/user/tf/TidB edit timeline], and since I'm rather inactive, he translates most if not all of the recent additions (his [[User:TidB/Translations|list of translations]] is pretty impressive!) He's the one who translated many of the largest articles into German, even boring [[Community Spy strategy/de|strategy]] [[Community Sniper strategy/de|pages]] [[Community medieval mode strategy/de|like]] [[Community Heavy strategy/de|these]]. Bonus points for IRC activity, welcoming new users and of course his awesome [[User:TidB/WikiTranslator|WikiTranslator]]. I hope my opinion has some weight and as STS Mod I can guarantee that TidB's translations are (nearly) perfect :)
 
<br>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Magicalpony's reason}} Very helpful to have a guy on the IRC. We talked about various topics and came to conclussions which would have otherwise taken days in discussions to solve. I wanted to point that out that not only to be on the IRC but to be active and respond on the IRC is a good thing. Peace & out.
 
<br />{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Proudnoob4's reason}}TipB Deserves the cap beacuse he is like the best translator i ever saw and he also helps alot of people in the IRC So i 100% think's he deserve's it
 
<br>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Fuzzeh!'s reason}} I started editing the wiki about a week ago, and when I started, I was pretty lost and confused, (still kinda am) but TidB helped me out on the IRC and really got me going, he taught me all the basics and gave me multiple tips on how to become a better editor, and how to learn things myself. I definitely think he earned a Wiki Cap, and I really hope he gets one.
 
<br/>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Je love prajitura :D's reason}} I started editing the wiki 3 days ago , and TidB was the only one that explained me where I did wrong , where I should practice more . And I was really surprised to see that he is a really nice person that can help you if you are confused . He is a good teacher , you could say . He really deserves a Wiki Cap .
 
<br \>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Jeffpalaz reason}}TidB is always helping out when someone does a mistake. Minutes after I've edited something or created a new translated page TidB takes a look at it and finds all the spelling or grammatic issues and corrects them. He does deserve the Wiki Cap for his kindness, translation skills & activity.
 
<br \>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Gabrielwoj reason}}TidB is somewhat a popular guy on the IRC, and on the wiki itself. TidB have worked in many translations for the German translation project, as well fixing many little things in any pages. Not to mention, he is the creator of the WikiTranslator, a tool created by himself that helps in many stuff ([[User:TidB/WikiTranslator|read more here]]). On the IRC, he's helping anyone, with about any subject I've seen, from images, to page discussions and how to properly edit a page. He also comments into user profiles how to edit a page in a good way, when someone just made their first translation, this means he watches the Recent Changes pretty much. Overall, I think that doing a program to help the wiki, being a nice guy and worked a lot into the German pages is something that makes someone being nominated, I'm pretty sure that he truly deserves it.
 
<br \>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Mikado282 reason}}Helpful and more than active, yes, I can't qualify it any better than it already has. My comment is personal, and so might not fall neatly into the criteria; ''all'' of my experiences with the experienced editors have been positive (let me say again, ''all''), but when interacting with TibD, I always feel like ''smiling''.
 
<br \>{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Tenacious Taco reason}}TidB is a regular and he's also pretty popular on the IRC. He's always there to check recent edits made within the wiki, whether it be from new or older users, and make sure they are correct. I myself joined the wiki two weeks ago and TidB was one of the first few people I interacted with. He's the creator of a very interesting tool called the WikiTranslator which helps translating pages faster and easier. 100% useful for when major updates come along. He's also a very nice guy and I think he really deserves the cap for his contributions and overall helpfulness in the wiki.

<br>{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Gabrielwoj's reason}} So, I had plans in nominating Cheddar after the Summer 2024 Update, but due to lack of time and / or spending the free time on other things, I haven't done so. So, about Cheddar, yeah, what a guy. As composed on Mediarch's nomination, this guy is a jack of all trades. My man here doing images, videos, updating articles, and so much more. I remember talking with him via Discord, helping him out with the ins and outs of HLMV, and well, he got around it. It didn't took long for him to start doing things by his own, not requiring my input anymore. For things that I hasn't explained to him yet, he came by and politely asked how. It's quite funny how all of that went by, it all started when I asked Cheddar if he could upload a community fix to the Steam Workshop for me, and not long after, he started his Wiki journey. Finally, even when things started to get difficult (as it's the way of HLMV not functioning properly on some scenarios), he has not given up, and made sure to go ahead, fix it, so he could continue contributing more to the Wiki. It's more than time for this gentleman to receive his nice sparkly Wiki Cap. Perhaps he will paint it Australium Gold to go full cheese-themed.

| {{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Rikka Takanashi's reason}} After watch this guy for a long time, he's the one that can deal with the most things that we already forget. (Like [http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Mann_Co._Supply_Crate&curid=21205&diff=1766414&oldid=1763037 add the texture that mention in trivia], [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Horace&diff=prev&oldid=1764351 Fix the things for consistency], [[:File:Scout bill.png|Update the images]]) Also, he's nice and respectful. He keeps the pt-br sections to up-to-date, despite pt-br is one of the outdated section. He did a lot of hard works and I think it's the time to give him the reward.<br \>

Gabrielwoj helps out new users making sure they edit properly and correctly. He would check and give good understandable critical feedbacks suggesting what to do and what not to do for future purposes.

| {{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Gabrielwoj's reason}} My boy and bird-enthusiast, Mediarch, the man, the myth, the legend. This user has started contributing to the Wiki just earlier this year, and wow, he sure does a lot of work! He has been active in making a LOT of painted variants, doing the task of uploading nearly (if not all) BLU Team paint variants of cosmetic items (something that was just recently suggested and approved), alongside making video demonstrations of a couple weapons / taunts, and some class images here and there.
 +
 
 +
Once the Summer 2024 Update dropped, he immediately started making progress with paints, demonstrations, texture-findings, and so on. It only took very few days to have the entire update's items to include every paint, something that used to take weeks on previous updates when he wasn't on the Wiki yet. Once he makes his paint variants, he makes sure to update ALL pages, and not only the English ones. Alongside that, he makes sure to always update the Rotations page with the right values, and if there's something that needs fixing, he makes sure to improve it (items that had texture or models changed after the paints were made, or in some cases, things I suggested to improve, such as the [[Watchmann's Wetsuit]] original paints not having Medic's head, then later re-made to include them).
 +
 
 +
While most of his work is related to paint-imagery, he has done video demonstrations that required improvements (weapons), and video demonstrations for newly added Taunts. He has also done a couple cosmetic image previews, mostly for Pyro and Sniper, which fixed Pyro's lenses being too bright and Sniper's default cubemaps on his glasses, respectively, alongside improvements of a couple class previews that required improvement outside Pyro and Sniper. Prior to his work with the BLU Team previews of Single Color paint cans, he has uploaded several images related to "references" on an item, improvements on rotations / anti-alias of existing paints, and so on.
 +
 
 +
Outside of Wiki work, he is a pretty nice guy on Discord, and I've been assisting him with a couple things related to his paint work (some _material files that didn't exist, troubleshooting, making TFMV work with HLMV++, and so on). He also respected things I have requested him to do, like keeping the same Rotation values for paints I originally made (some items required to re-do the existing paints due to computer differences on HLMV). While I don't normally nominate users in such a short time (he has been editing the Wiki since March 2024), Mediarch is an exception. It's pretty clear that this user wants to help and contribute to the Wiki with what's missing, what needs contributing, and so on. I recommend checking [[User:Mediarch|his Userpage]] and his tables for "Demonstration videos I've made" and "Paint variants I've done" for what he has made. Or, you could also just check the Recent Changes page since he pretty much the Wiki daily at this point.
 +
 
 +
And, lastly, when including Trivia about references, he makes sure to include a proof of one (or more) item creator(s) confirming the reference. When the Summer 2024 Update dropped, he asked several item creators confirming if an item was a reference before including to their articles, which is the way to go.
 +
 
 +
Give cap. Make bird enthusiast happy. 🐦
 +
 
 +
<br>{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|DrotEroNoxt's reason}} How can you describe this person in one word? Productivity. I would like to express my gratitude to Mediarch for the HUGE work on TF2Wiki! Did he deserve the honor and respect, did he deserve the cap? There is only one answer — YES!
 +
 
 +
<br>{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|JupiterSphere's reason}} I agree with all of the above, and then some. Mediarch has been a good influence on the Wiki since the day he started editing, if not in contributions, in behaviour. He's a kind fellow from what I see, and his work is tremendous. All I have to say is he deserves a cap.
 +
<br>{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Slimyboi500's reason}} How does he not have a Wiki Cap already?  He is one of the most hard-working editors I know, and I would love to see someone's hard work be worth it.  In addition, he is really nice and sometimes helps me with stuff, such as Demonstrations.  I would like to see someone particularly new earn a Wiki Cap so early.

 +
| {{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Tosta'(h)'s reason}} So, this is my first time nominating someone, so it's also purely my initiative. I noticed Luno by accident, but when I did, I was surprised, to say the least. Why doesn't he have a Wiki cap yet? He's made a colossal number of useful edits to the French Wiki, what's more, he's made over 3000 edits! I think that's enough to say that he's really worthy, but I think it's obvious that he's only going to need the cap to spruce up his already stunning User page. My verdict is that he is an incredible Wiki contributor, and 100% worthy of being nominated for the Wiki cap.
  
 +
<br>{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Marx's reason}} I've been part of the French wiki team since 2021, and since then Luno has been the only one who's always been there. He's the janitor of the French wiki. If the French Wiki is still so active, it's because he keeps the French pages alive and updated. He also goes out of his way to help new French contributors, giving tips and pointing out what to do and where to find everything we need to make the best translations. Not to mention what has already been said, all the edits he has made, and the fact that he has done and continues to do an amazing job. In my opinion, he is the current best contributor to the French side of the wiki to be nominated.

| 2024-10-17
 +
| {{pro}}{{tooltip|●|GrampaSwood's reason}} I've watched Lord of Dominating's translation work for around the past year now, and I believe they have been one of the most consistent names in the Recent Changes log. Their translations seem to be good in all departments (I cannot judge quality, as I do not speak Romanian, but the rest is good). Using the proper templates like {{tl|Update link}} and {{tl|Common string}}, appropriate Wikipedia linking (or else using {{tl|lang icon}}), appropriate usage of <code><nowiki>|en-sound=yes</nowiki></code>, etc. These may seem like small things, but as we say in the Netherlands, [[wiktionary:wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd|wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd]] (he who does not appreciate the little things, is not worthy of the greater things).
  
|-
+
As said, I've seen them consistently contribute and it's been largely old translation updates, new translations, and template translation updates. I don't have anything to say except I see a very clear drive to improve the Wiki while also being knowledgeable about editing. The perfect combination for a cap owner.<br>
 +
{{pro}}{{tooltip|●|Akolyth's reason}} Lord of Dominating can be defined in one word, in my view: "Relentless." He translates something virtually every day, in a wonderful language that may get overlooked. LoD frankly puts me to shame with his work ethic and I wish I had even a third of his consistency. The extent of it all makes it hard to choose one or a few examples; just check his general contribs any day and you'll be impressed. "Grozav!"

He's uploaded a huge amount of really great images for the Wiki, and spent a lot of time adding them to their respective pages. It takes a certain type of person to have not just the patience, but also the artistic talent to take pictures like [[Media:LicensetoMaim.png|this]], [[Media:Powderwig.png|this]] and [[Media:Scout Bonk Helm.png|this]]. Evaldas is also a genuinely great character, and has helped several users - including me - with many aspects of imaging, from getting Source SDK installed, to fixing minor glitches with imaging software. He's helpful, friendly, and a high quality contributor. What more can you ask for?<br />

{{tooltip|●|Fyahweather's reason}} Evaldas is not your average image creator. He's also one of the kindest editors I've met, always cheerful and willing to oblige. He participates heavily on the IRC, giving everyone compliments and pats on the back. His images are very high quality at a very consistent level. I find that Evaldas' work towards the Wiki has been very beneficial and nominate him to the pinnacle of wikidom.<br />

 +
| {{pro}} {{tooltip|●|TidB's reason}} I feel like TheRilonh's contributions have gone a bit unnoticed, so let's change that. Mainly focusing on the most active years from 2014 to 2016, they not only contributed to the fast translation of [[Carnival of Carnage/ru|new]] [[Love_%26_War_Update/ru|updates]] and [[Hundkopf/ru|their]] [[Kritz or Treat Canteen/ru|associated]] [[Screamin' Eagle/ru|pages]], but also many tournament medals, [[June_26,_2014_Patch/ru|lots]] [[June_11,_2015_Patch/ru|of]] [[February_29,_2016_Patch/ru|patches]], and also [[:Category:Ring_of_Fired/ru|entire]] [[:Category:The_Showdown/ru|comics]] because why not. What also impressed me is their dedication to the translation of the more obscure articles (which kinda is a necessity since /ru tends to be at a high completion rate all the time, thanks to translators like Rilonh), for example [[Badwater_Basin_(competitive)/ru|competitive]] [[Coalplant_(competitive)/ru|maps]], [[Community_Barnblitz_strategy/ru|community strategies]] and [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Miss_Pauling_responses/ru&diff=prev&oldid=2059477 responses]. And it doesn't even stop there, a majority of their work consists of updates to existing pages, an often neglected aspect of translation. And even though the quantity of their contributions decreased over the years, I feel like the total amount is more than enough to warrant a Wiki Cap. Oh, also [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Community_Scout_strategy/ru&diff=prev&oldid=2369143 this 193k update just recently].<br>
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Goodjob's reason}} Upon inspecting the candidate, he's done a great deal on the /ru side of the wiki - his contributions ranging from translating articles about medals, patches, cosmetic items, community strategies and other minor stuff to updating other articles and templates. Based off the talk page, it can be argubly said that the quality of the translations seem to not be an issue - although it can't be exactly verified by me. Though, as TidB have noticed - his activity has gone down - that's clear, but the impact that he had on the state of /ru can't be underestimated.<br>
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|SpaceGuy987's reason}} As [[User:Goodjob|Goodjob]] previously mentioned, TheRilonh has done a very good job to the /ru portion of the Wiki. He has edited and contributed over 500 edits, most of them being positive. At least half of the edits are still current, such as [[Casual]], [[Competitive]], and the [[ConTracker]] pages, all in Russian. He has been noticed being very friendly to numerous users, including myself. I would cast my vote for him in regards to his Wiki Cap.

He has been updating multiple pages from multiple languages to support the "View listings on the Steam Community Market" button, he also updates /zh-hans that are outdated, and has been seen also translating complete pages for /zh-hans, namely the new 2019 cosmetics. He's also been helping new Chinese translators too. I think he is ready to receive his cap, due to how much he has been working, and how consistently his work has been.<br>
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|VasyaTheWizard's reason}} Dereko has been contributing greatly to the Chinese part of the Wiki. They have translated a lot of pages to /zh-hans, and have kept many old translations up to date, with some of their biggest translations being [[Team Fortress 2/zh-hans|军团要塞2/Team Fortress 2]] and [[Pyroland/zh-hans|火焰兵幻境]]. They have also been doing maintenance edits (such as marking items as being marketable) across all languages, and have helped out many other Chinese translators on the Wiki. Over 250 Chinese pages are being kept up to date by them (check the userpage for a list). They also participate on discussions in talkpages and on the IRC channel.<br>

{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Fiat Seicento's reason}} Dereko seems like a very solid editor. Dereko made lots of edits (many solid ones) on chinese wiki. User also makes many technical changes to many pages in all languages. Also Dereko is quite active on #tfwiki IRC channel.<br>
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Boba's reason}} I’ve taken the past few days to observe this user’s editing, and I’ve noticed they’re quite active in the IRC channel. After seeing their massive amount of contributions, I can safely say they’re deserving of a Wiki Cap. Obviously, the work being done with Chinese translation is the biggest factor here, but I’ve also noticed they have been contributing to English pages of newly added game content, which is honestly amazing considering how recently it was added.

|{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|123rse's reason}} I remember the moment that Joeun was asked to join the translation team. Since he began his work with this wiki as a translator, he has excelled in that role for the past 1 year and is now more than ready to take a wiki cap. He is proficient and passionate, definitely one of the best korean translators that I have ever met before. I assure that he has always made every effort to provide the best quality of the translating for korean readers. Not only his ability in translating pages but also cooperating with other translators will be a tremendous asset to korean team and all of korean wiki users. He '''created and revised almost every korean pages of cosmetic items which were added last year'''. One of his astonishing contribution is '''the translation progress of map articles has been goes up 40% to 50% by himself'''. I want to make sure that he gets some recognition for his hard work and contributions to the translating map articles. His great enthusiasm as a translator managing map pages played a vital role in the improvement of korean pages's translation progress. I strongly believe that our wiki should recognize his exceptional performance. He will be instrumental in expanding and revising of translating wiki pages into korean. I'm delighted that he's staying with my team and look forward to his continued contribution.

|{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Ashe's reason}} My main reason to nominate Lexzach is the constant effort in adding class images of a LOT of tournament medals, painted variants of recent cosmetics, etc, at (almost) the level of the latest Wiki Cap owner Seederat. The creation of Lexzach's [[User:Lexzach/hlmv-transparent|HLMV Transparent Program]] helped some users to upload images too!. The program is intuitive and ''easy'' to use, and is more efficient that doing the cycle of "screenshots, gimp, transparent, crop, save". Good pal.
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Ceiling Man's reason}} As a veteran "image guy" here on the Wiki, seeing the strides Lexzach has made to make the Wiki a better place with his images is an astounding feat. I can personally attest that his [[User:Lexzach/hlmv-transparent|HLMV Transparent Program]] has helped me as I've made my return to making Wiki images. He is consistently active, and was quick to churn out images as soon as the Summer 2021 update came out. I strongly believe Lexzach is deserving of a cap.<br>
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Akolyth's reason}} I took a break from editing nigh 3 years ago, and I was lurking for a long time but finally returned to really see how the community's doing - and I'm very pleased to witness that users like Lexzach work hard all the time for this Wiki! He's a prime example of a deep love for TF2 and he has done pro-level work especially considering his age, such as HLMVTP which is an excellent tool I need to test. Give him a Cap. ^_^<br>
 +
{{con}} {{tooltip|●|Gabrielwoj's reason}} I usually abstain from making "negative" votes, but I just felt having to write this one. While I think HLMVTP is a handy tool, it's still more troublesome to configurate (and use) it than using GIMP to make the images transparent. It may be useful for image contributor veterans, but for newer users... I'm not so sure. It's still easier for users that are naive with computers in general to just rely with the GIMP method for making images transparent.
 +
 +
And for your contributions other than the program... they don't really reflect how useful your program can really be. Majority of the tournament medal pictures use the exact same pose and facial flexing, and that's not only for the different placements (1st, 2nd, 3rd, participant, staff, etc.) from the same page, the identical poses and facial flexes goes on for several different tournament medal pages. You can see how often poses repeat on his [[Special:ListFiles/Lexzach|Special:ListFiles page]].
 +
 +
Because the background removal process has been automated with the creation of HLMVTP, more time could be used to make more unique poses and facial flexing, but instead, basically every tournament medal images are exactly the same, on every tournament medal page he contributed to, other than the medal attatched on the class.
 +
 +
As mentioned on my Tekinz nomination, I think it's okay to repeat poses and facial flexing for different medal placements in a single tournament medal page, due to the absurd amount of medals we have in the game... however, it is also important to change these poses and facial flexing when doing images for different tournament medal pages.
 +
 +
And for the quality of the images per-se... they aren't very good. You can see how it's not using high-quality textures (notably on Heavy, Engineer and Medic's class emblems). While his most recent uploads did got improved ever since his arrival (lighting position being fixed, and proper cropping, for instance), some things still could be improved. On the few images that use different poses and facial flexing... they all use very basic poses and facial flexing (for instance, images showing the classes' teeth has only appeared at the very start of his contributions, before his poses and facial flexing became the same for almost every image ever since).
 +
 +
The anti-aliasing in most of his images are also kinda poor (it feels kinda "jagged"), it was only recently that this has been improved... which might be a bit late since majority of his images have been uploaded with poor anti-alasing. If the purpose of the program is to remove the background and make it transparent completely automated, without using image editors like GIMP, this should be something to be resolved in the very first versions of the program. The method to remove the background on GIMP gives proper anti-alasing.
 +
 +
I was the person who edited and shared the [[Help:Model_Viewer#dxsupport.cfg|pre-configured dxsupport.cfg on Help:HLMV]] for others to use, and for everyone who I have helped with (talking with them directly via Steam or via other methods), not a single one of them had problems with textures or anti-aliasing (anti-aliasing inside HLMV, not anti-aliasing from removing the background afterwards), in fact, installing the .cfg always resulted in the best quality possible. I don't think Lexzach is really using the .cfg. Not even on his first uploads seem to be using high-quality textures (the dxsupport.cfg is always reset upon verifying the game's cache on Steam, and sometimes people don't realize it [which is a common mistake that even I had a few times], which is why I think he never installed the .cfg in the first place).
 +
 +
And, for his most recent contributions, being the Paint variant table for some of the newer items. Some of them are great, others... not so much. For instance, the old images for [[Meal Dealer]] and [[Sightliner]] were just the cosmetic itself, there was no "class attachment", so unmodelled polygons could be seen (Sightliner not having the strap area modelled from the inside... as it's not needed in-game due to not being visible in-game, as Engie's head is covering it... and the Meal Dealer having Scout's backpack missing, which let an invisible gap in the middle of the images).
 +
 +
I'm sorry Lex, but I don't think your time has come yet. Yes, it is important to create and upload images that are missing on the Wiki... but your contributions seem lazy, and it gives a bad impression especially that you made and are using an automated tool... in which you could have been making different poses and facial flexing by using the time saved from using said tool. And for quite a while, the tool didn't properly do anti-aliasing, so your contributions felt like "more quantity than quality" for quite a while. Yes, tournament medal pages may not have the biggest traffic in comparison to other cosmetics, but even then, high quality images are always important. Seederat, for instance, always did great imagery, even for tournament medals, and his poses and facial flexing on his tournament medal images didn't repeat on other pages.

| {{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Lolimsogreat's reason}} Some people ask if aliens exist, some people ask if god exists, but I ask; how In the actual hell doesn't someone like Boba already have Wiki Cap. He's been on this wiki for a little over 2 years now, and you can safely bet that he has spent those two years drastically improving the wiki in multitude of ways. So, where do I begin with his numerous contributions. Well, I guess we shall start from the simplest: For one, he has uploaded over 700+ files and various images, all with excellent quality and consistency. Plus, he also went an extra mile and added detailed information about the files in their summary, just so that any future editors can be spared of unnecessary hussle. Secondly, he corrects and fixes things, ''a lot of things'', '''thousands of things'''. In fact he's been doing so much various fixes and correction, that he might as well be competing with Mgpt at this point. Whether that be fixing deadlinks, adding new redirects, moving pages to a correct destination, improving categories, adding missing information to existing pages, fixing images etc. You name it! Thirdly, this guy loves templates. He is willing to go wrestling with the deepest depths of css code just so that we can get a usable product. The most clearest example of this would be his work on the Selfmade owners template. His attempts to improve this messy template had to be one of the biggest ''solo'' projects the wiki has ever seen. Now, all of this is just scrapping the iceberg. There are thousands of more contributions which he can be attributed to. And because of that, I trully think that this guy is completely deserving of a Wiki Cap. Hell, I would say that he earned his fair share two times over by now.
 +
{{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Dereko's reason}} That was nearly about 1 year ago, for the changes had took place on the page [[Unusual/zh-hans]], Dereko received postive feedbacks and words of gratitude from Chinese users, to which I answered, the ones deserved more appreciation would be those people who made constructive changes on the original page, not this mere translator, yes? Among all the solid editors who have been devoting themselves to those large scale pages, which require not only a lot of passion and time, but also a satisfactory way of long-term management to be kept fresh and tender, Boba the editor has already proved his visible eligibility to wear the cap of honor, with practical contributions in the past, the present, and, the foreseeable future, no? Hmm, Dereko was worrying if the spoken words are not that same practical. Say, with those seperate and consistent templates, I regard the Unusual page has completed a successful "modularization procedure" under the hands of Boba. Some people may argue that the page didn't change too much on its apperance, but from what I have experienced, a page like this is much more easier to update and make flexible edits, which is of great significance in our multilingual Wiki home. Also, if people pay a visit to the contribution history of Boba, one could be amazed by the breadth of his work, for what some people would like to address him as a "Jack of all Trades", while at the same time Dereko believes he isn't just content to make extensive small edits only, but keep motivated to bring out further progress. Dereko says sorry if the specific cases given are too limited, but they are so impressive in the perspective of a translator - 's watchlist.

| {{Pro}} {{tooltip|●|Yossef reason}} Alex's contributions have been exceptional for the past two years. As for translations, he's one of the most active members in the /zn-hans team, all the way from [https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=AlexT&newOnly=1&namespace=6&nsInvert=1 creating] hundreds translated articles from scratch, to constantly [[Special:Contributions/AlexT|updating]] existing article in order to keep the Wiki Quality Standard. But his contributions does not end with only translations, he is also an active contributor in the [[Team Fortress Wiki:Weapon Demonstration|Weapon Demonstration Project]], and for his outstanding work, the OTFW upoaded several videos he made, for example: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWt2T76r7pg Pooped Deck], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_54fMTO7ukY Texas Truckin'], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz4vX5DyihQ Profane Puppeteer], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC18CcEsLic The Drunken Sailor], and so forth.<br> Alex without a doubt, is Wiki Cap worthy, he is the embodiment of a quality TF Wiki contributor.
 +
{{Pro}} {{tooltip|●|Dereko's reason}} When Alex started editing on our Wiki in 2020, I didn't expect him to be an editor who would (1) '''stay active for almost two years'''. (2) He has not only made '''significant and constant contributions''' to the translation of Simplified Chinese, (3) but also participated in non-translation projects, notably, '''most of our latest demonstration videos are made by him'''.
 +
 +
WIth skilled editing experience at the starting point, (4) Alex has made no obvious mistake in formatting and operations, which is much better than what I used to do. Meanwhile, (5) it's fair to say he played '''a very constructive role in improving overall standards for Simplified Chinese translation''', despite we hold different opinions on the necessity in some cases.
 +
 +
While Dereko supports Alex without reservation, I didn't nominate him first for the following reasons - although they may not be related to the nomination requirements, they have something to do with my personal willingness, in which I hope he will perform better in the future:
 +
 +
(I) I find '''no obvious improvement in his overall editing quality''' in the two years, maybe it's because '''he already did very well at the beginning'''.
 +
 +
(II) His translation works '''mainly focus on new cosmetic pages and patch pages, which are just too easy for his skills''', at the same time I have no impression of him translating larger articles from scratch, such as map pages, mechanic pages and weapon pages (rework), which are mostly needed for zh-hans in my point of view.
 +
 +
(III) Use of "machine translation + polishing" programme, which is no secret. Although the quality of his translation is generally qualified in terms of results, and every translator finds himself in need of tools more or less, sometimes I just find sentences that could be translated much better with his level - which are probably the results of '''efficiency-oriented editing methods'''. A more professional statement on this issue could be presented in a formal translation review. Personally, if he is going to be a Wiki Cap owner as a translator, it would be better if changes were made.
 +
 +
Notes: In my memory, translation editors would need STS reviews on procedures for the Wiki Cap. Considering STS is no longer active, I'd like to recommend two former STS members to conduct the reviews, on the premise that their help is needed.

| {{pro}} {{tooltip|●|Guest's reason}} It has been a year since Profiteer joined tfwiki, but he has already made significant contributions on tfwiki, especially in Simplified Chinese. Profiteer created a great number of map articles, including some super-huge pages: [[Carnival of Carnage/zh-hans|Carnival of Carnage/zh-hans]], [[Gold Rush/zh-hans|Gold Rush/zh-hans]], [[Foundry (Control Point)/zh-hans|Foundry (Control Point)/zh-hans]], [[Badwater Basin/zh-hans|Badwater Basin/zh-hans]], [[Gorge/zh-hans|Gorge/zh-hans]], almost all of the arena maps, and he continuously created and updated a large number of map articles EVERY DAY for several months, resulting in a rapid progress in zh-hans map translation from 26% to 51%. Profiteer has continuously updated new content for 2023, such as [[Zombie Infection/zh-hans|Zombie Infection/zh-hans]] and almost all new maps, such as [[Krampus/zh-hans|Krampus/zh-hans]], [[Carrier/zh-hans|Carrier/zh-hans]], and all official VSH maps.
 +
 +
Besides editing maps, Profiteer also involves editing of a variety of pages, including tactical article ([[Offclasses (competitive)/zh-hans|Offclasses (competitive)/zh-hans]]), pages for almost all cosmetics of the [[Smissmas 2023/zh-hans|Smissmas 2023/zh-hans]] (one of them was created by BEFUK), mechanism article ([[Disguise/zh-hans|Disguise/zh-hans]]), [[Server Browser/zh-hans|Server Browser/zh-hans]], updates for "did you know" in zh-hans, and updates for all Demoman weapons articles, two of which [[Stickybomb Launcher/zh-hans|Stickybomb Launcher/zh-hans]] and [[Half-Zatoichi/zh-hans|Half-Zatoichi/zh-hans]] are particularly LARGE. And also uploaded a lot of image files related to some recent cosmetics, maps and other content.
 +
 +
Profiteer is frequently active in tfwiki discussions and is very willing to help solve the problems of others (like mine). Profiteer also did a lot of helpful things for our team: he helped tfwiki's official bilibili account upload Chinese subtitles of instructional video series, launched a new [[Team Fortress Wiki:Translation progress/zh-hans/Questionnaire 2|questionnaire]] on the use of tfwiki by Chinese visitors, By the way, Profiteer has made great efforts to find new members for our team (and he did), while providing a reference [[Team Fortress Wiki:Translation progress/zh-hans/Starter guide|tutorial]] for new editors. So, Profiteer is already the backbone of the Chinese editor team, and he is undoubtedly an excellent contributor.

Latest revision as of 23:30, 28 October 2024

All wiki users are free to nominate other wiki editors to receive the Wiki Cap, which they may do by adding names and reasons to the Active Nominations table. Please only nominate candidates that you feel fulfill the eligibility factors, noted here. Check the Archives to see if someone has been nominated before.

Users cannot nominate themselves, unless they fit the requirements to do so.

New nominations should be added to the table in the following format:

 |-
 | style="background-color:#ffbd7e;" | [[User:TheUserNameHere|TheUserNameHere]]
 | [[User:YourUsernameHere|YourUsernameHere]]
 | Today's date in numeric form (eg. January 2nd, 20XX would be 20XX-01-02)
 | Reason for nomination
 | N/A
 |-

If you are adding information (your name/nomination reason) for someone already listed in the table, put

<br/>

at the end of the line, followed by your information. When adding a reason for nomination, start the line with

{{tooltip|●|YourUsernameHere's reason}}

Do not simply add your name under the Backers field without adding a reason why you feel this user deserves a Wiki Cap.


When a user has been discussed by the staff, they will be moved down to the Recent Reviews table. Please add new nominees starting at the bottom of the New Nominations table; for re-nominating a user who has been nominated before, please see the Recent Reviews section for more information. Remember, this is a list of users who will be discussed by staff for consideration; being nominated does not guarantee that a user will get a Wiki Cap.

Nominee Vote Queue

How it's decided: Once a nominee gets 5 or more Yes votes, they will be granted the cap. However, if a nominee gets 5 or more No votes at any time, it will be declined.

Disclaimer: The staff reserve the right to veto a nomination if the candidate is deemed ineligible at the time of the nomination.


Staff: Do not increment the numbers here until you have done
a proper logged vote in the discussion channel, even if you are the nomination author.

Editors: If you see an error in the table, call attention to it in the staff channel and discuss it.

Nominee Yes No Abstain
Cheddar 3 0 0
Mediarch 0 1 0
Luno 1 0 0
Lord of Dominating 1 0 0

Staff: This table has been moved to /Queue to avoid unnecessary edits.

Active nominations

To read about the the eligibility factors used to review editors, please read the Wiki Cap page.

Remember: The Wiki Cap is not a right. It is a privilege and reward for useful contributions. Before adding any name to this list, please consider the eligibility factors.

Remember that edit count is not relevant to eligibility or an indicator of usefulness. It is in fact wholly redundant. Please do not nominate someone based on this number or use it as a reason for eligibility.

When writing feedback in the Feedback column please give examples with substance. Not "they work hard" or "they're trying really hard". An example of a good reason would be: "The quality of their set of weapon demonstration videos for X, Y, and Z far exceeds anything else I've seen."

2024-08-08 Pictogram plus.png  Cheddar is a real jack of all trades and contributes to many areas of the wiki. 3D modles, map images, demonstration videos, video thumbnails, paint variants, etc etc etc. Cheddar does a little bit of everything. He makes an effort to improve older images by fixing things like white outlines and images that use incorrect models and such. His infobox and class gallery images always feel natural and have great flexes and poses and even tries to sorta match the theme of the cosmetic in many cases. He's done tons for the 3D models project making sure everthing is nice and consistent. He consistnly produces well done weapon demonstration videos. On top of being a great image creator he also is a big help to others doing a fair bit of "behind the scenes" stuff that won't really show up in his contriubutions but really make a difference like helping remove jiggle bones from models and fixing wonky origins for some cosmetics. I whipped up a little overview of some of Cheddar's contributions.
NOTE This is not a fully complete list like Gabrielwoj tends to make as that would have probably taken me a few days.

Pictogram plus.png  So, I had plans in nominating Cheddar after the Summer 2024 Update, but due to lack of time and / or spending the free time on other things, I haven't done so. So, about Cheddar, yeah, what a guy. As composed on Mediarch's nomination, this guy is a jack of all trades. My man here doing images, videos, updating articles, and so much more. I remember talking with him via Discord, helping him out with the ins and outs of HLMV, and well, he got around it. It didn't took long for him to start doing things by his own, not requiring my input anymore. For things that I hasn't explained to him yet, he came by and politely asked how. It's quite funny how all of that went by, it all started when I asked Cheddar if he could upload a community fix to the Steam Workshop for me, and not long after, he started his Wiki journey. Finally, even when things started to get difficult (as it's the way of HLMV not functioning properly on some scenarios), he has not given up, and made sure to go ahead, fix it, so he could continue contributing more to the Wiki. It's more than time for this gentleman to receive his nice sparkly Wiki Cap. Perhaps he will paint it Australium Gold to go full cheese-themed.

2024-11-08 Pictogram plus.png  My boy and bird-enthusiast, Mediarch, the man, the myth, the legend. This user has started contributing to the Wiki just earlier this year, and wow, he sure does a lot of work! He has been active in making a LOT of painted variants, doing the task of uploading nearly (if not all) BLU Team paint variants of cosmetic items (something that was just recently suggested and approved), alongside making video demonstrations of a couple weapons / taunts, and some class images here and there.

Once the Summer 2024 Update dropped, he immediately started making progress with paints, demonstrations, texture-findings, and so on. It only took very few days to have the entire update's items to include every paint, something that used to take weeks on previous updates when he wasn't on the Wiki yet. Once he makes his paint variants, he makes sure to update ALL pages, and not only the English ones. Alongside that, he makes sure to always update the Rotations page with the right values, and if there's something that needs fixing, he makes sure to improve it (items that had texture or models changed after the paints were made, or in some cases, things I suggested to improve, such as the Watchmann's Wetsuit original paints not having Medic's head, then later re-made to include them).

While most of his work is related to paint-imagery, he has done video demonstrations that required improvements (weapons), and video demonstrations for newly added Taunts. He has also done a couple cosmetic image previews, mostly for Pyro and Sniper, which fixed Pyro's lenses being too bright and Sniper's default cubemaps on his glasses, respectively, alongside improvements of a couple class previews that required improvement outside Pyro and Sniper. Prior to his work with the BLU Team previews of Single Color paint cans, he has uploaded several images related to "references" on an item, improvements on rotations / anti-alias of existing paints, and so on.

Outside of Wiki work, he is a pretty nice guy on Discord, and I've been assisting him with a couple things related to his paint work (some _material files that didn't exist, troubleshooting, making TFMV work with HLMV++, and so on). He also respected things I have requested him to do, like keeping the same Rotation values for paints I originally made (some items required to re-do the existing paints due to computer differences on HLMV). While I don't normally nominate users in such a short time (he has been editing the Wiki since March 2024), Mediarch is an exception. It's pretty clear that this user wants to help and contribute to the Wiki with what's missing, what needs contributing, and so on. I recommend checking his Userpage and his tables for "Demonstration videos I've made" and "Paint variants I've done" for what he has made. Or, you could also just check the Recent Changes page since he pretty much the Wiki daily at this point.

And, lastly, when including Trivia about references, he makes sure to include a proof of one (or more) item creator(s) confirming the reference. When the Summer 2024 Update dropped, he asked several item creators confirming if an item was a reference before including to their articles, which is the way to go.

Give cap. Make bird enthusiast happy. 🐦


Pictogram plus.png  How can you describe this person in one word? Productivity. I would like to express my gratitude to Mediarch for the HUGE work on TF2Wiki! Did he deserve the honor and respect, did he deserve the cap? There is only one answer — YES!


Pictogram plus.png  I agree with all of the above, and then some. Mediarch has been a good influence on the Wiki since the day he started editing, if not in contributions, in behaviour. He's a kind fellow from what I see, and his work is tremendous. All I have to say is he deserves a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  How does he not have a Wiki Cap already? He is one of the most hard-working editors I know, and I would love to see someone's hard work be worth it. In addition, he is really nice and sometimes helps me with stuff, such as Demonstrations. I would like to see someone particularly new earn a Wiki Cap so early.

2024-09-21 Pictogram plus.png  So, this is my first time nominating someone, so it's also purely my initiative. I noticed Luno by accident, but when I did, I was surprised, to say the least. Why doesn't he have a Wiki cap yet? He's made a colossal number of useful edits to the French Wiki, what's more, he's made over 3000 edits! I think that's enough to say that he's really worthy, but I think it's obvious that he's only going to need the cap to spruce up his already stunning User page. My verdict is that he is an incredible Wiki contributor, and 100% worthy of being nominated for the Wiki cap.


Pictogram plus.png  I've been part of the French wiki team since 2021, and since then Luno has been the only one who's always been there. He's the janitor of the French wiki. If the French Wiki is still so active, it's because he keeps the French pages alive and updated. He also goes out of his way to help new French contributors, giving tips and pointing out what to do and where to find everything we need to make the best translations. Not to mention what has already been said, all the edits he has made, and the fact that he has done and continues to do an amazing job. In my opinion, he is the current best contributor to the French side of the wiki to be nominated.

GrampaSwood 2024-10-17 Pictogram plus.png  I've watched Lord of Dominating's translation work for around the past year now, and I believe they have been one of the most consistent names in the Recent Changes log. Their translations seem to be good in all departments (I cannot judge quality, as I do not speak Romanian, but the rest is good). Using the proper templates like {{Update link}} and {{Common string}}, appropriate Wikipedia linking (or else using {{lang icon}}), appropriate usage of |en-sound=yes, etc. These may seem like small things, but as we say in the Netherlands, wie het kleine niet eert, is het grote niet weerd (he who does not appreciate the little things, is not worthy of the greater things).

As said, I've seen them consistently contribute and it's been largely old translation updates, new translations, and template translation updates. I don't have anything to say except I see a very clear drive to improve the Wiki while also being knowledgeable about editing. The perfect combination for a cap owner.
Pictogram plus.png  Lord of Dominating can be defined in one word, in my view: "Relentless." He translates something virtually every day, in a wonderful language that may get overlooked. LoD frankly puts me to shame with his work ethic and I wish I had even a third of his consistency. The extent of it all makes it hard to choose one or a few examples; just check his general contribs any day and you'll be impressed. "Grozav!"

Users who have received a "No" verdict still have a chance of getting a Wiki Cap in the future, the verdict is not permanent. The staff will continue to watch users' progress and re-evaluate them at a later time. They can also be re-nominated for a Wiki Cap, however please refrain from re-nominating a user immediately after they have been declined; try to wait at least a month before re-nominating a user, in order to give the staff time to evaluate that user's progress. There is no hard-and-fast limit on when a user can be re-nominated, however remember that if a candidate has not improved significantly since the previous nomination, the results of the review may not change. Users who have been declined are encouraged to check the logs for their evaluations, to see what they can do to improve their submissions and interactions with the wiki and its users.

When re-nominating users who have been declined in the past, add them starting at the bottom of the Re-Nominations table in the following format:

● Has done a great deal for the french translation on the wiki, continuously updating pages he translates and being really reactive when new content is added, to have localized pages ready as soon as possible.
He's also present on the IRC, watching the RC feed, and edits a little of english while sometimes doing some maintenance work.
He's not far from reaching 2000 edits and did more than 600 since his last review.
● Translates, and translates better than I would. Is on IRC as well, though using an unrelated nickname, so nobody knows it. Has stayed active.
● Has been nominated once before.
Keisari Lexar

2011-10-01 2011-10-09 ● Keisari, from what I can tell this user is the only finnish translator that is doing any work at all (again purely from what ive seen). Keisari shows great determination in getting articles translated and keeping templates up to date. Keisari being a very active wiki editor has made many valuable contributions over the wiki especially during the uber update phase. Keisari also happens to be on the irc pretty much as much as me (in other words a damned lot). Keisari is always community minded and is very easy to approach, not only this but keisari will also show strong desire to interact with others wherever possible making this user a very strong user both community wise and wiki editing wise. For these reasons, I believe keisari deserves the cap for both community participation and a lot of quality translations.
● Keisari has been the most contributive Finnish translator and the only admin who does not have a wiki cap. He's helped us in the UGC Highlander Tournament recently, and shows a keen desire to help others on the IRC and outside of the wiki. He's a person who genuinely likes working with editors, whether ingame, on the IRC, or in the Wiki.

2011-11-25 2011-12-04 Always one of the first to translate missing/new articles into german. Made an excellent job on translating tons of maps into german (and we all know how painful translating maps is). Thanks to him we have 100% of the official maps translated. Is familiar with the "complicated" stuff like the dictionary template etc. Arranges and works cooperative with the other german contributors. Overall, made over 900 edits with a high quality and above average new pages.

He is a very very very very good contributor to the german wiki.He helps new people (like me), to learn the important tricks and other stuff from the wiki, and has overall a good view of important and unimportant articles which needs to be translated. I'm ashamed to say that but he is most of the times the first guy who translates for the german wiki, and has a good way of translating the english articles. My last reason is a mere statemet: We are a few but we are good, i don't want to say that we have only 10 active translator, but we have only, picard, sackzement, t-wayne, and thedoctor. That's not a reason but a consideration to you guys about what he does and all of us, we have a lot of viewer but not so much translator. He would have voted for Obama: Change!!! Hope!!
I believe T-Wayne deserves the cap due to his many contributions to the slowly progressing but highly demanded german section of the wiki. T-Wayne shows much interest and much determination to both finish and better the german wiki, being one of the only 3 editors in the language he has done many great jobs and gotten many pages for the wiki done. T-Wayne also displays his desire to mix with the community by getting involved in chats and being a regular on the irc. Overall T-Wayne has always displayed a positive attitude and has always jumped to any job he is offered.
Hard worker, participates greatly in community (IRC, Highlander, etc.) and being badass.
I often see him in IRC.

2011-11-26 2011-12-04 There is a lot I can say about Evaldas. So I'll start from the beginning. Evaldas is an excellent contributor this grand base of TF2-based knowledge. Although he doesn't contribute in the most traditional way, one doesn't have to go far to see what he has done for this Wiki, visually speaking. While he has come under some controversy regarding uploading images that didn't need replacing, one cannot say that his quality of work isn't far better than most and doesn't deserve to be showcased on all pages, thus, in my opinion, making the previous point moot. Secondly, Evaldas is undeniably a wonderful person. He is constantly smiling, at least virtually, and is always a pleasure to speak to. He is constantly seen on the IRC and is a calm approachable person; should one have any questions regarding his area of professions (that being HLMV, Source SDK and Images). Truly, if one is deserving of a Wiki Cap it is unequivocally Evaldas himself, not only for his appetence and strong work ethic toward improving the Wiki, in his own ways, but also for being the kind and generous person we all know and love.

Seconding that I don't think my previous complaint about image replacement should be in any way held against Evaldas. Like I said before, he makes great images for the wiki at a consistently high standard and is also a very nice person, that's what he should be judged on.
Same as before. My reason can be found in the archive of past nominations (below).
Just take a look at Evaldas's contributions. He's uploaded a huge amount of really great images for the Wiki, and spent a lot of time adding them to their respective pages. It takes a certain type of person to have not just the patience, but also the artistic talent to take pictures like this, this and this. Evaldas is also a genuinely great character, and has helped several users - including me - with many aspects of imaging, from getting Source SDK installed, to fixing minor glitches with imaging software. He's helpful, friendly, and a high quality contributor. What more can you ask for?
Evaldas is not your average image creator. He's also one of the kindest editors I've met, always cheerful and willing to oblige. He participates heavily on the IRC, giving everyone compliments and pats on the back. His images are very high quality at a very consistent level. I find that Evaldas' work towards the Wiki has been very beneficial and nominate him to the pinnacle of wikidom.
He does some of the best images I've seen, he's always working hard to improve the existing wiki content, and is also a really nice guy, always worrying about others and trying to help and cheer them up. He even helped me learn how wiki code works when I was clueless. He has shown great commitment for a long time.
Very kind fellow, usually see them in Source SDK making new and improved images for the wiki. No jaggies on this front! Re-Nomination.
A number of veterans on this wiki have trouble being friendly and approachable, but that's something you know that you never have to worry about with Evaldas. Exceptionally kind, exceptionally talented, and just so darn cute to boot.
Evaldas has been doing some quality work (and particulary with that SDK tool). While he's also very kind, he's also very present on the IRC channel and deserves to be rewarded.

2011-11-26 2011-12-04 Contributed a huge amount of high quality images to the wiki. Showed a strong desire to improve the wiki, creating his own guide on how to work with models in HLMV. Always pleasant to work with and helpful whenever needed.
Helps significantly with our Wiki's photos, including additions and improvements. Displays a kind and helpful demeanor to everyone, and frequently chats in the IRC.

Same as before. My reason can be found in the archive of past nominations (below).
Lots of good image uploads, and weapon demonstrations are always highly sought after here. His list of wikichievments sort of speaks for itself, in my opinion.
Doesn't neglect older, less looked at hats such as older hats that need galleries and new images. He's a great asset to the Wiki.
Magoolachub's got this vibe to him that I can only describe as a valor to improve the wiki. Doesn't exactly makes sense, but it feels right. Videos, photos, damn impressive 3D models... this guy.

Does a lot of tidying up work, has helped to clean up a lot of articles. Has helped revamp a large amount of pages, and improved a huge amount of others. Quite a bit of template work too. Friendly disposition and always eager to help other editors.

Stev has done a considerable amount of work on the wiki. Recently he's been doing a lot of tedious editing. Present regularly on the IRC and always ready to help.
Since he started editing on Sept. 10th, 2010, he's done some really great things, including all that re-theming he did for the tables on various update-related articles including Very Scary Halloween Special, Scream Fortress Update and Mac Update. When I started here back in November 2010, I noticed Stevosiak's work rather quickly. I really don't know how he has the juice to keep doing all the little tedious edit-jobs that he does here. He's simply amazing.
I don't know Stevoisiak particularly well (read: I don't know Stevoisiak) but gog damn just have a scroll through dat contribs list it seems pretty clear to me that this guy deserves a cap. Just look at the achievements he (rightfully) boasts of on his user page, over 3000 edits? That's some solid work.

2011-12-04 2012-01-22 What I would consider a valuable contributor. over 3000 edits, Greets new members, helpful, friendly, and does a large amount of valuable work that should not go un-noticed.

Like a real ninja, M-Ninja is one of those people who you never really notice. His edits are not the most flashy edits on the newest items, but instead focus on polishing the mass amount of content that we have on this wiki. He does his job not for recognition, but to help make the wiki better for everyone who uses it.
Of course. Good, valuable edits, participates in discussions, and doesn't hate me. All his edits that I have seen are of good intent.
M-NINJA is one of those people who seems to have always been there - I'm genuinely surprised he doesn't have a cap already! Always makes useful edits, and there's barely a template on the wiki he hasn't improved in some way or another. He might seem invisible at times, but I'm pretty sure everyone here has benefitted from his work.
As has been mentioned before, M-Ninja is a mostly silent contributor, he has been working very hard and for a long time to improve the wiki, clearly out of nothing more than wanting to improve the wiki, however as of late he's been on the IRC from time to time, and does seem like a nice person. Looking through his contribs list shows that his edits have a lot of attention to detail behind them: categorization edits, small cleanups. Really, who does categorization edits benefit? The general users of the wiki? In my opinion, certainly not, it benefits the editors more than anyone else, on more than one occasion I've needed to go through category pages in order to find something, and potentially if M-Ninja wasn't doing what he was maybe I wouldn't have found it. Licensing is always a plus as well, don't want to be illegal now do we. One wikichievement on his userpage struck me: Over 300 edits in one day? That is a -lot- of work. He also has an eye for other smaller details, like the rc list, got a few undone edits on there too. Apart from what I've mentioned, his userpage checklist provides a good insight in to some of the things he's done. In my opinion, a deserving candidate.
M-NINJA is like Calvin Coolidge. Who is he? Nobody knows, but he is very efficient at his job of polishing up the stuff that we put on the wiki. He edits often and edits well, doing work that most of us haven't heard of before or forgot to do. His work is mainly geared towards us, the people who work to make sure the wiki is user-friendly and helpful. The licensing! The categorization! The cleanup! All of this makes our lives as editors easier, and I think that this user who has helped the common editor so much should deserve the cap.

Where can I begin. Cooper Kid has done SO much for the wiki, it's hard to know why he doesn't own a wiki cap yet. He's a very friendly user, who constantly keeps templates and article pages up to date, and shows a strong desire to improve them. He does a lot of minor, but important editing(such as grammar fixes, redirects etc), over 1700 valuable edits, maintains the hat of the month page; he's very helpful (specially in talk pages), has made a few infoboxes, AND he knows how to pronounce Claidheamh Mòr.

Waitwaitwait, he doesn't have one? :O Very good edits, helped me a wee bit, contributes to discussions, and, again, very good and useful edits.
He's good editor. And he know about most of everything I want to know. His knowledge is better than me.
Cooper Kid seems to do a lot of smaller things, but a lot of smaller things that matter a larger amount. He'll fix or update templates where it needs to be done, he's a frequent contributor to talk page discussions, he seems to have a bit of an eye for dat rc list with more than a few undos, and notably he's taken it upon himself to keep the Hat/Misc of the month updated, which before he decided to do this was sadly ignored (which was good for me, because I got to make a point by non-randomly flipping it to bald engy, I enjoyed dis). Overall I think these small but important (and large in quantity) edits make for someone who deserves ze cap. This wiki user definitely deserves a cap. Although i haven't talked to him much, he has made a lot of useful contributions which I'm sure a lot of others have noticed.
Ach, I cannae say evil about Cooper Kid! When I was a wee editor, he helped me create userboxes, and I must say that Cooper displays a friendly attitude to everyone he meets. There's naught bad about the lad, and his help with the templates and minor edits should be applauded with a bloody cap.

2012-02-12 2012-03-04 One of the most consistent french editor on the wiki. Over the past (almost) year and a half, he has done near 1500 edits on the wiki. Eventhough he doesn't do huge chunks of translation at once he's the only one that's been sticking for so long, consistently updating pages, translating new ones and correcting others. He's the one lurking in the shadow, the one you never see, but the one that always makes great edits, keeping the french wiki at a good level of quality. For his silent dedication, it's my thinking he deserves a Wiki Cap.

Probably the most active contributor for French articles. Almost working everyday on the Wiki; it can be for a little correction, but also for a full article translation! Like Tturbo said above, this member works in the shadow, he doesn't search glory or gratitude, he just makes its work by pleasure. For my part, HunterCham deserves the Magical Shiny Hat! :)

2012-01-23 2012-05-06 After this user's rather touching post in the Talk section I have decided to nominate him. Not because I've known him for such a long time, or because I felt sad for him. After his post I started to check his edits, read them, re-check them, enjoy them, even. It occurred to me at that moment: this user has been working in silence for a really long time doing a great job. Now I know that in the past there were some concerns about the quality of this user's translations, and I have been shown the chatlogs in regards to this issue. However, these issues seem rather petty in comparison to the amount of work and effort Hefaistus has put into the Dutch wiki these past 1,5 years, and I do disagree with several of the things mentioned in these logs. I should also note that his translations have improved quite a lot since the earlier mentioned incident. Besides that, he was also one of the first people to contact me when I started translating and complementing me on my work while simultaniously offering me his assistance if I needed any. Hefaistus I do apreciate the work you have put in, and that is why you are now officially nominated!

I looked up his edits in the past until now. And some people may think that to be old is not a reason enough to give him a reward. But to build a foundation for every dutch person is a reason. If he wouldn't have done this work, no one would have a base about how to edit dutch articles. He is one big supporting pillar for the dutch wiki.

When i first joined, i made some mistakes but then Hefaistus gave me alot of information about how could i improve and what i did wrong.Also he is a great dutch translator and editor. Thanks Hefaistus, i think you deserve it :D

Eventhough I'm not active anymore, because I don't have much time, I just wanted to add that Hefaistus was a great help when I first joined here, he gave me some links to some Dutch information pages (that he made) with common translations and other important information and helped me out when I made mistakes. He's one of the guys that sticks around and if there is someone that has put a lot of effort in the Dutch wiki, then it's him. Like Warlike said, he worked on the Dutch wiki in silence for a really long time and wasn't really noticed, because there aren't a lot of active Dutch wiki translaters out there that say that he's doing a REALLY good job, in contrary to the other language community's on this Wiki that are rather big. Hefaistus is the big driving engine behind the Dutch wiki part.

2012-02-28 2012-06-24 Since he started Wiki at December 6 2010, He made over 1,100 edits with a very nice quality and many of them are new pages. He is most active Korean translator and he translated a lot of useful articles. (such as Saxton Hale, Administrator, Storyline, Official map articles, etc.) He also one of the first who translate new articles and update articles to latest. He is a handful of active Korean translator, as well as he made Korean translation progress to almost 90 percent. If he weren't here, maybe Korean language articles are such like a wasteland. He is very kind as well. In personally, he taught me how to edit articles. :) Not because I known him, I think he truly deserves a Wiki Cap as great Korean translator.

Yeah, dis is the best Korean contributor. Holy *** made over 1000 edits! working on Korean wiki. He really deserve the Wiki Cap.

Even though I have failed to fulfill my duty to keep the Korean Wiki updated for sometime, this guy took care of wiki very well. Some people may not like the flow/style of this guy's translation, I think his/her translation is just fine. I took my time to check over the previous his translations - it was easy to understand, simple and clear, and most of importantly, no sign of Google translation at all! Besides, he is part of STS, so at least that proves people other than me approved yjy's work ;) Also, though number of edits really doesn't prove the quality of all the works, it proves consistency over a year of dedication. Therefore I recommend yjy.

2012-04-19 2012-07-01 Since Xenak joined the wiki over a year ago, he has made over 1,200 edits. He has been a guide for many people! He is also on the IRC a lot. He played on the official Wiki UGC team during season 5. He mainly fixes links on here, but also does odd jobs with and makes a lot of puns! He pretty much taught me everything I need to know about editing here on the Wiki. That is why I think he deserves the Wiki Cap.

He's always around in the IRC channel and always contributes. He helps new users out all the time, seems to be online all the time, and is just an overall cool person.

He's always on the IRC channel and contributes a lot to the wiki. He has been with the wiki for over a year now and he is still contributing. Honestly, most people would give up after a year, but he still keeps on going. I like that he is so confident on that. There is no reason why he shouldn't earn a wiki cap.

Xenak stands out as the member of the IRC who helps new users by far the most enthusiastically. I can't vouch for the quality of his edits, as I only speak English, but he is certainly committed to contributing on a regular basis.

Xenak is almost constantly editing pages to improve the wiki; he is essentially unable to sit idle. As well as welcoming new users in the IRC, he always has a great sense of humor to boot.

I've only been back for a short time, but already I've seem wonderful things from Xenak. He is pretty much always in the IRC and is always very talkative - a nice little trait not many people have. He is also both very friendly and approachable. A fantastic nomination to receive a Cap.

Xenax is a user who is always contributing (over 3000 contributions so far), and his work is that of high standards. Above all he's very friendly and shows no sign of rudeness.

Xenak is a top notch editor, he's often seen fixing links on various pages, and he often spends time in the irc channel where he's always friendly to everyone.

This guy. Yes, this guy certainly deserves wiki cap. His consistency of fixing, editing, updating the wiki, and even entertaining/assisting the wiki people on the irc is indeed admirable and praiseworthy.

2012-04-26 2012-07-01 Ever since rebmcr joined the wiki, he was always a big help when it comes to uploading new images or improving bad ones. On his journey, he made a lot of new images and reached more than 1500 edits! He's very often seen on the IRC and he's very pleasant there as well. I as a uploader am amazed at his work. He uses a python script in order to remove the white backgrounds, he continuously uploades new images that are needed or must be redone, he makes some really great templates and he even has the time to crush every image, so WindBot doesn't have to! This guy is really amazing and I think a wiki cap would be a good reward for all his great and hard work.

Painted images are the tip of the iceberg for all the work he tries to do towards the wiki.

rebmcr is an excellent contributor who makes plenty of images that benefit the wiki. He/she is always in the IRC, and has been around for a very long time. He/she knows what sort of work is relevant, and what his/her role is within the wiki. rebmcr fills his/her role very well, if you ask me. For this, I think he/she should be rewarded with a cap.

I believe rebmcr should receive the wiki cap for being a great influence and contributor within the TF2 wiki community. He does his best to help everyone. For example, he is currently working on a way to make it easier to indicate available qualities for hats, as mentioned on the discussion page where we are discussing whether information about unusuals should be added to the info boxes on individual hat pages.

rebmcr is one of the main picture uploading guys in Wiki. He uploads those so many that he spams IRC full of pictures that have been uploaded. He is IRC regular too and he makes templates to make Wiki editing easier. rebmcr is also helpful, cooperative and community-minded, at all times. If you need help, just ask rebmcr. He helps you. In my opinion, rebmcr deserves his Wiki Cap.

Very deserving individual. Eagerness to take on such big projects shows dedication.

He is very very very dedicated. As fas as i can tell he is very active in the chat and also a person you can talk to if you are bored, or need some stuff to discuss. He has maybe not that many sparkles around him if you talk to him, but that's only because he does his job very efficient like an engineer. Nothing that would shine for itself it's nonethenless outstanding great work. And i think that in it's way should be a good example for an editor which works hard and good.

reb works hard and moves fast, he's extremely quick in pushing out paint galleries and is also of help whenever needed, wherever needed (i.e. IRC). Is also good at template and will try to improve anything he thinks could be done better. Very deserving.

Reb is an extremely dedicated and hard-working individual who is quick to act (even if that means he is a bit too hasty!). His appetence towards pushing out edits is amazing. He is always in the IRC whenever I am there and proves himself to be a very kind and funny individual. A very deserving person for a Wiki Cap.

I constantly see Reb spamming the irc channel with tons and tons of image uploads. He's often hanging out in the irc channel and he's always helpful and community-minded. I think he deserves a wiki cap.

Ceiling Man Mr. Magoolachub
RagnarHomsar
2012-06-12 2012-10-21 Ceiling Man is another of the Wiki's silent contributors, I can really only put it down to this as to why he hasn't been nominated before. I don't know if I'm the only one that's been watching Ceiling Man, but judging from the lack of nominations I'll have to guess so. Ceiling Man is another of the Wiki's image makers, and he's a stickler for quality. After he discovered how to alter cubemaps in HLMV I have seen him go through and alter many old images that used the default hl2 cubemap to give them a more tf2-y feel. When I uploaded an image containing a problem with the eyes that I didn't even pick up on, he noticed it and replaced it. He's always very quick to update a new item page with a good infobox image and will monitor the page for leetle errors.

Active since late 2010, and by active I mean with no large gaps in edit amount, actively editing since end 2010 right up until now, I strongly believe Celing Man is deserving of a cap.

As an addendum, TheDoctor's denomination is entirely false. Ceiling Man has uploaded many many thing that are not from a batch. I would go so far as to say that is predominantly all he has uploaded.

Ceiling Man's done quite a lot for the Wiki in terms of images, and I say this a fellow "image guy". I can guarantee you most of the header images for hat/misc. item pages are the work of Ceiling Man, and he's made images that are of consistently high quality. He's also pleasant to talk to, and I have yet to see someone get into an argument with him. Outside of images, he does great "little" edits for articles, and overall makes the Wiki a much better place.

Also gonna protest the denomination below me, CM hasn't done anything involving scripts and I have no idea where that came from.

Note: Wind is heading the demonstration video project, when he says someone is doing a bunch of them he damn well means it, and will not back videos which are not of quality. This is why this reason is sufficient. - Lagg

Karma makes a lot of demos. The quality of the videos is simply fantastic. He always shows every possible positive or negative site of the item that he demonstrates. Always gets the job done very well and as fast as needed.

rewrite - Wind's reason establishes that he does a lot of good videos, but give reasons why it sticks out or remove

rewrite - If it's obvious, leaving feedback here is redundant. There are many patient and helpful people on the wiki, but how does his helpfulness stick out in a way not previously established?

Karmacharger is a very kind and helpful contributor to the wiki. His weapon demonstration videos is his thing and he sticks to it pretty well. For I am also a weapon demonstrator, I have been through some rough times myself when I was just starting. After a while, we became very good friends on Steam and he has helped me with tips and tutorials on how to work everything that is in the weapon demonstration category. He has also helped me play a role in some of my videos and I thank him very much for it. Since he is a very active demonstrator, polite, and helpful user, he should deserve a Wiki Cap!

2012-06-15 2012-11-04 Asplode is the top contributor to the Finnish wiki, he is one of the few, if not the only one, who translates regularly. He translates multiple pages each day and he knows how and when to use the correct templates. Not to mention he also translates templates and helps out in other sections of the wiki. Asplode is also a really friendly and helpful person. He often hangs out in the IRC, where he’ll assist you if needed.

Asplode has contributed a great amount to the wiki, whether it be having entertaining discussions in the IRC, welcoming new users, making minor edits on the English side, or translating pages to Finnish. For these reasons, I believe he should get Capped.

Asplode is one of the most active Finnish translators in the wiki. He translates many new pages to Finnish, helps new users and also makes random edits to the English pages. So yeah, I think he should get a price from his contributions.

Pictogram plus.png Soooo for the following reasons i think he should be discussed: He updates and adds the really outdated /fi language in articles and templates.

Asplode is probably the only Finnish translator, whose job is very hard (considering he's by himself a lot of the time), but he presses on despite this. He shows commitment and dedication in his translations, the latter of which are always well done and professional.

Although there really aren't regular Danish contributors in Wiki besides him, it is very important that there is still at least that one (I can say from my own experience). He has also done some contribution to English Wiki. He has patrolled Recent Changes log and he has undone many unnecessary/bad edits. He is IRC regular, participating in some discussions and he also behaves very politely there, giving a good picture about himself. And he also is community-minded; by asking help from him usually gets you some help.

Pictogram plus.png  He still continue editing and improve the /da sections like create the page and add info about it, update feeds and translated the whole page.

Pictogram plus.png  LiquidFire is the danish guy you need to ubercharge the progress of every danish article. He is a fast worker, with a direct line to the people. He adds new content as also updates changes fast. Some people think you can't judge other people languages by reading it. I judge people by using the templates and links correctly. I think he is doing a very very good job with the way he edits. And maybe i only support him because he plays a very good aggressive Soldier in TF2, but nonethenless i think a dedicated person like him (irc, user talk, tf2 talk) should maybe get a one or two sparkles for his work. Cave Johnson we are done here.

An editor with a fantastic sense of humor and who is undaunted by the task of translating the other 90% of the Danish wiki, LiquidFire is fully deserving of such a reward.

He's helped me to understand how certain elements of the wiki worked on the IRC channel, and this more than once, which is a very good element considered that there are enough times where my questions tend (aka: used to) go unanswered.

He helped in translation a lot of times, uploaded many images, and he is a really cheerful person that is nice to chat with. (a really rare occasion even on Wiki)

I agree actually with everyone of you're, who believes, what KosToLoM should own a Wiki Cap. I want to congratulate KosToLoM for the good work — fixin' bad edits and translations. I think, KosToLoM should own a Wiki Cap. He is the best active Russian contributor now.

One of those guys, who is always checking existing articles for their small mistakes and old information. Fast as a ninja and takes effort to help run Russian TF2 Wiki at the top.

Monitors recent changes, hunting for mistakes and TF2 Wiki rules violations. Translates large chunks of articles, and — what I personally appreciate most of all — does this with almost ideal grammar and literary language. Participates in discussions on improving russian translation progress. Contributes to the materials helping new TF2 Wiki members. Yes — he surely is one of the most productive russian translators.

Really really exceptional quality of the grammar use and a clear sentence structur.

It would have been very diffiult for me to start here, but AgentBull made it much easier for me and he did explain quite a lot of things. Also, as far as I can see, he's doing a good job in the german Wiki, by translating and also by searching for mistakes.

A trusted user who has his hand in making 3D images, thumbnails for weapon demos, paint images, class galleries, basically everything. I'm actually really surprised not only that he did not have a cap already, but that he had not been nominated again.

He has been translating on the /tr section for some time (approximatly 10 months) and worked on both hats, misc items, updates, templates, classes etc. He also goes back to old article in order to either fix on grammar, mistakes by other /tr users, outdated things or add new patchnotes/info. He is one of the long time contributors to his own language and from what I hear, the quality on his texts is pretty accurate, good grammar and well written. He search for help when needed and consults me before starting editing fields he has not explored so he get a explanation so he doesn't struggle through the edits. In general, he is a guy who is really nice and politely, whom you can deal with and shows what I can call "community spirit". This is one gem in the treasure box. N/A

2012-09-07 2013-02-03 Pictogram plus.png  I know most of the people do not know this guy, and will ask many questions about why this guy should get a Wiki Cap. However, he has joined OTFWiki since 2010, only two months after I did. So he's been here for a long time, doing contribution silently for zh-hant Wiki. Although he does not show up in the Wiki as often as I do, he is the one I think who is the most valuable translator at the moment ,and should give him a Wiki Cap as a reward for things he had done. I have many reason to explain the point:
* First, he often gave me many better advices about how to translate many things when I am going to translate new thing into Chinese. The Strange weapons' ranks titles are all his ideas, which I still think it is amazing (4 Chinese characters for every title? That's genius!), other things like some Pyromania items, some items' description. Many of them are his ideas of advices. Without his help, I could not make zh-hant Wiki an accurate-translation place by myself (you know...few people will edit zh-hant pages).
* Second, Most of the time I edit the pages alone, but whenever I need help, just contact him and he will always answer my call in a brief moment. Whatever it is translation problems, or the zh-hans plagiarism incident happened before, he will give me a hand at the time I need the most. Definitely the MVP in zh-hant, and the best helper I have ever found.
* Last, I know that quality is more important than quantity, so I think fewer edits counts will not block him from getting cap. I always check every edits in zh-hant when I have time, and I can approve that his edits are really high quality. It's really helpful because I sometimes make some places wrong unwarily when editing, he is the right-hand man who will clear it out.
As above, I thing letting this person have the Wiki Cap, will be a good choice and an encouraging present for him.

2012-11-07 2013-04-02 Pictogram plus.png  TheDoc is definitely the most active German contributor and even was the only one in the /de section for a looong time. He's the guy who always updates the /de strings in the dictionary when an update arrives and he also adds new content quickly (he translated all the australian christmas 2011 pages on his own!). He re-examines old translations and updates them (on July 9, 2012 he fixed and updated ~180 articles to increase the quality in the /de section) and he even edits English, /nl, and /no pages. TheDoc also helps other users, he constantly gives me tips how to improve my translations or how to use templates, etc.

He is a well-known regular in IRC and general wiki discussion.. The reason why he didn't earn the wiki cap so far are his language skills; I think he considerably improved in this matter. The grammer still isn't perfect but I don't know anyone who uses German grammar perfectly :D His translations are never wrong, it's rather a matter of good expression but you can always understand what he's saying and his translations are good enough for the wiki's quality standards. He even managed to join the STS, I know that's not important in the wiki but it shows the quality of his translations. To satisfy moderator's demand for specific contributions: HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES.
Pictogram plus.png  Doc has always been a pleasure to work with. He is very community minded and has pretty much always done a great job with both translating into German aswell as keeping an eye out for helping or correcting new editors. My German is admittedly a little stale but I can safely say and vouch that his translation quality is very good indeed, aside from a few grammar issues here and there, which quite frankly I don't think even bother any native Germans whatsoever. What I personally think is interesting is the fact that he continually strives to improve, even after not getting the wiki cap twice he dealt with the criticism given to him and worked on his communicational 'problems'. I don't often nominate people but damn, if someone is long overdue for a wiki cap it's this guy right here.
Pictogram plus.png  He helped me a lot to get into the Wiki translation stuff, explained me the use of Templates, the Dictionary etc. He is also very active and updates many articles to the current level.

If you check his contributions page, you'll see that grammar mistakes and broken links are not tolerated as well. I believe that rewarding this user will be more than fair, and the Wiki will continue to have well-done Korean articles. :)

Pictogram plus.png  He must be amongst the most useful and active editors so far on the tf2-wiki with a amazingly high amount of useful contributions, he is active nearly every day and has been around for over 2 years with the most active times around 2012-2013. He is known by many and is also one of the regulars in the IRC chat and is there most of the times to talk/help.

What he does most on the tf2-wiki is cleaning up pages for any flaw there might be, just as well as checking the recent changes for any kind of bad edit to quickly be there to sort things up and add something to that users User-page concerning the problem. He is also very good towards new users who needs help with any obstacle concerning the wiki with either adding to the User-talk page or when someone ask for help in the IRC chat. He shows great desire to contribute to the tf2-wiki just as well as the community and has a very great attitude towards everyone in his way so I'd like to say that he deserves the award of a wiki-cap!
Pictogram plus.png  Even though it might be an early nomination, Ashes has done in 4 months what would take any ordinary person far longer. He's ALWAYS busy doing maintenance work, monitoring the recent changes, fixing and updating stuff, while at the same time being utmost active and helpful in the IRC. He's a template's best friend, he's the first one to get pages ready when updates pop up, and his edits not seldomly flood the recent changes. His work is what keeps the Wiki organized and structured. It is for all of the above reasons that I believe Ashes deserves the privilege of receiving a Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I've seen Ashes plugging away at the wiki since I can remember. Always mass updating infoboxes, adding categories, just overall making sure that each article and file is up to date, especially after an update. Whenever he finds any sort of problem with something, he is quick to bring it to light to ensure it is rectified. He's also one of the most enthusiastic editor's I've seen, constantly searching for a new way to help, even by trying to explore new fields of the wiki. Overall, I feel his hard work and dedication have definitely qualified him for a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  Ashes is the most active editor by FAR I've seen as of late. I've not seen few days where he hasn't edited some part of the wiki. He consistently makes sure everything is up-to-date, and helps to keep the Wiki as organised as it is. He is even delving into languages he may not necessarily have first hand experience at and helping to keep THOSE segments of the Wiki in order. He's one of the most, if not THE most enthusiastic editor I've seen in a LONG time. There's not very many ways I've seen that he HASN'T helped. He seems to not take ANY rest when helping. Those times when I can help (don't get me wrong, I try, but he goes above and beyond when it comes to helping), I see him DOMINATING the recent changes, sneaking in, fixing those errors, and sorting out absolutely ABSURD amount of pages. In summary, I believe his pure DEDICATION have more than made him deserving for one of those caps.
Pictogram plus.png  The amount of edits Ashes makes are so astronomical that at first I was wondering if he was a bot. No, Ashes is simply an extraordinarily dedicated user who, while his edits may be small in size, big in effect. Without him, the wiki's translation pages would be few and far between. I've also noted that he keeps an eye on new users and assists them with newbie tips or other helpful pieces of information everyone might not always know. If he doesn't get a Wiki Cap, then I'd like to see someone who deserves it more than him. Edit: He took over the Recent Changes log again.
Pictogram plus.png Always around on IRC, contributing to the discussion, especially when it is meaningful.
Pictogram plus.png He always, always categorizes the images I upload. He's like a combination of a Spy and a stalker the way he does it. Less than a few minutes after I upload anything, he comes right out and puts them in their proper categories. I have never seen anybody with that type of organizational dedication in regards to images.

2013-03-22 2013-05-27 Pictogram plus.png  Hinaomi is one of the most active contributor. After last time of his nomination, he changed his style from Copy+Paste edits only to do some pain works like Templates. Even thought that he's Thai and conflict with each other due language barrier but he can understand English better than many Thai poeple I saw. Some of his template helped a lot of many users like this, this, this and this, also he updated a ton of templates. Here are example.

Pictogram plus.png  Hinaomi is always right there in the IRC when you need a big job done. The amount of data he turned into templates and the amount of bad information he reverted is impressive to say the least and I believe that his work is of paramount importance to keep this Wiki structured and organized.
Pictogram plus.png  I'll cut through the buzzwords and keep it simple. I've watched this guy grow into a solid Wiki editor while helping him overcome any language barriers he may have faced here. He's got a good range of contributions and he's becoming more active on the discussion side of the Wiki. I'm not a huge fan of over-templatising, but his other work more than makes up for it. I feel as though he's overcome the shortfalls and doubts I had about him the last time he was nominated.
Pictogram plus.png  What can I say - Hinaomi has to be one of the most active users here on the Wiki. If something needs done, chances are he'll be the first to have a stab at it. While he started off as a novice and made his fair share of mistakes (we all did) he's certainly put in the effort to improve. He isn't afraid to take up even the most menial tasks and puts up hundreds of minor edits, fixing the little things we all miss out but are nonetheless important. He fixes, updates and improves templates, and even creates new ones when they're needed. I think the sheer volume - along with the quality - of his edits is enough to merit a cap, and he's really improved his work over the past year.

2013-04-23 2013-05-30 Pictogram plus.png  The French side of the Wiki is 90% complete and I'm sure 'Stache has something to do with that. He has been around for almost two and a half years, not only constantly keeping the Wiki up to date by translating new content and updating old content, but also always being present in the IRC to fulfill requests and help other users out. He actually uses his moderator powers and does the chores others mods leave aside. His work is both high quality (as far as my knowledge of French goes) and high quantity. 'Stache has proven to be one of the assets of this Wiki and I therefore believe he deserves this privilege.

Pictogram plus.png  French moderator that really fast at adding language to templates, 90% after I crated templates, Stache will be the first guy who add his translation to template. That's equal his translation skill is really awesome. Also not only translate, He updated pages, fixed some grammars and more.

He's also highly active on the IRC and is always a friendly face to see on there. An all around great user!

Pictogram plus.png  Cobalt is by far the best image uploader I've seen since the start of my time on the wiki. His mass amounts of images are in top quality and is a great help and example to new users who also seek help regarding images. He also keeps up with all updates and articles making sure all images are accounted for. A great person in my opinion on both the wiki and IRC.
Pictogram plus.png  One of the only guys on the Wiki who uploads all the painted images of caps when they are released. He's done a lot of image work for the wiki, even uploading "Over 170" images in one day, and all of his images are of fantastic quality. He's also a great help, teaching me the basics of posing players in HLMV (as well as using his talk page as instructions more than once!). I was privvy to nominate him for a Wiki Cap myself, but then somebody did it before I could! Works hard, deserves the hat.
Pictogram plus.png  Besides uploading a huge amount of high-quality images, Cobaltcakes is always eager to teach people things and to help them out in need. Whenever I ask a question in the IRC about Photoshop, HLMV or Source SDK in general, Cobaltcakes is guaranteed to be the first one to give me a detailed walkthrough. He's active, helpful and friendly and not only a great editor but also a great teacher.

2013-06-01 2013-07-26 Pictogram plus.png  After looking at him for a while, he's the one of active contributors that always stay in IRC. He's not only the translator, he can do some nice quality image, revert the bad imformation and many more.

Pictogram plus.png  Eels is always around doing lots of various tasks. He's an extremely active /nl translator, and even though I know nothing if translations myself, he really seems to know what he's doing. Eels is also incredibely helpful with new users, always jumping in to help them when he can or welcoming them to the wiki. He brightens up the IRC daily, and even helps out with images from time to time. I believe he's shown great dedication to the wiki and I definitely believe he deserves the cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I know I don't edit here much, but I am on IRC daily and do look over whats being done. Eels pretty much is translation on this wiki. Anytime a translator has a question, they go to Eels and he points them in the right direction. He is always making sure everything is in order, translating to nl, checking over the work of others spotting whats wrong with other translations and just being a great help to the wiki as a whole. He is a huge help to the wiki and a great guy, he definitely deserves the cap.
Pictogram plus.png  To add onto the reasons given above, I can confirm that Eels has a very good graps on the Dutch language, regularly outdoing me on grammar. His hard work on the Dutch side of the Wiki also meant that the Dutch pages didn't get into heavy disrepair after my defection to the Dota 2 Wiki. As a veteran Dutch Wiki editor, Eels has my full support.
Pictogram plus.png  I´m not here in the wiki for a long time, but, Eels has helped me a lot of times when i needed help, and also, he has helped a lot of people and works hard to improve the wiki.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels was the first guy who welcomed me when I joined the wiki. I didn't know much about wiki codes and added him on steam, he directly accepted my friend request and helped me with coding my own user page, he even allowed me to copy some of his code. I always see him in IRC and he seems like one of the most active wiki translators and also knows a lot about templates.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels is one of the most active users on the tf2 wiki. He speaks more than 4 languages while creating and editing a huge amount of high quality pages in several languages. Eels is always happy to help newcomers both on the wiki and IRC. I am one of many whom Eels first greeted and offered his help on the IRC channel, but often gives advice to more experienced Wikiusers. He has also uploaded a huge number of high-quality images, he always checks every article for outdated information and poor quality edits. He also updates the dictionary and performs many other useful work with excellent quality. In my opinion, Eels has done a vast number of edits and these edits prove that his efforts and his dedication towards the wiki should earn him a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels is one of the most good editors on the tf2 wiki. He help other users, to improve the Team Fortress Wiki with constant tips and coordination, and contribute to the wiki by doing a lot of "manual edits", such as update many templates and other. He deserves to get a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  LONG FISH IS KREDIT TO TEAM! Eels seems to be almost the only active /nl translator and he does plenty of work. He contributes to several different languages and knows his way around templates as well. 'nuff said. The others already listed the most important facts. One of the best contributors we've ever had :)
Pictogram plus.png  Eels, One of the most active users i've seen that is not only helpful through small edits and translations, But he is willing to give other things a try like uploading quality images and paint previews. He is extremely helpful and is willing to help if there is work to be done. Long story short, This slimy lil fish is awesome :3.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels is definitely one of the most active users at the Wiki right now. He's constantly translating nl pages, updating old ones, adding translations to templates, greeting new users, doing minor fixups and even creating pictures, should the situation call for it. He's always at the IRC, greeting new editors there as well and willing to help out old and new users alike.
Pictogram plus.png  I´m not a long time here but Eels has helped a lot of times a lot of people and works hard to improve the wiki. Eels often gives advice to help. He also checks every article for outdated information. He updates the dictionary and many other useful work. In my opinion, Eels should earn a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I joined a few months ago and i had no idea about the wiki, Eels helped me alot with all the noob questions 24/7 on the IRC. He's a really cool guy.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels was the first user to help me getting started on the wiki, he is always there for you in the IRC and he provides great contributitions to the wiki.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels was helping me ever since I joined wiki, if I accidently did something wrong, he gave me a message about what I did wrong, and he fixed it up for me, he has also got a lot of contributions, he's a very friendly user and a cool guy and I hope he will get his deserved Wiki Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  He quickly got me started on the wiki, he was very friendly and told me how to improve my translating right of the bat and got me more motivated to do so as well. He does a lot of translating of outstanding quality and is pretty active too, teaching newcomers how to do their edits so that the quality of the Wiki improves further much quicker.
Pictogram plus.png  Eels is a nice and polite person, who is always helping the newcomers of the wiki. Whenever someone new joins the wiki, he is always there to help and answers the questions of the people wihthin the irc-channel. Also he is a great contributor and improves the wiki a lot.

His spam has not only been known to blot out the sun (Recent Changes Log) but also ensures that even the smallest necessary details on pages are not left unnoticed. He's also a very dedicated Finnish translator, who rushes to make translations whenever possible. All of this, in my opinion, should definitely qualify him for a shiny hat.

Knows how to work with the dictionary and keeps it updated. Pretty common guest on IRC, friendly. Isn't affraid of asking things he don't know and share his knowledge with newcomers. Keeps both old and new articles fresh and up-to-date. Will help you with anything you'd ask him.

Pictogram plus.png  Do you remember that I did a ton of templates? If you do, I said on 'Stache nomination that 'Stache is the first guy who add the translation. Yes, Gonard is the second guy who add his translation. He always ask me to do the new templates to let him translate even I don't have time to look around. His /ru skill is good enough to make me nominate him. Also he's the guy who friendly, easy to talk, can simple found on IRC, did a lot of hard work.
Pictogram plus.png  You can clearly see the progress Gonard has achieved since the moment when he asked me for a consultation on editing at the start of his work. Nowadays Gonard is one of the most active translators for the Russian part of TF2Wiki: his most notable works include full translations and constant updates of this, this, this, this, this and many other articles. Gonard is also known for checking corrections made by other members. He is often found at Wiki’s IRC willing to answer questions on editing, formatting, translating and support newcomers. Pictogram plus.png  I just glad to see so intelligent editor on wiki. He works for quality, not for quanity. Gonard 's particularly important credit is syncronization of translated names with STS and, of cource, greetings of newcomers (at least 15). Also he provides reviewing of trivia and pages' accordance with English versions.
Pictogram plus.png  From myself I want to add that this fellow is doing a very good job on the Wiki. He seeks to improve quality of all the russian articles. He's also a very friendly guy!
Pictogram plus.png  One of the active Russian members of Wiki, Gonard always making Wiki better, one edit at time (literally, he fixes a whole page within one edit). Although there is almost no work, he always have something to improve.
Pictogram plus.png  A good example of "how to work". Provides Russian translation just in time and makes Russian part of TF2WIKI better. He always maintains wiki articles up to date.
Pictogram plus.png  Sometimes people good at art. Sometimes people good at work. Gonard is good at translating. If you look at his page you should see, that in contributions there's always "syncing with /en" and "translating". My vote goes to him!

He's also extremely helpful to other editors, Giving a nice welcome as well letting them know about what they're doing wrong and even gives suggestions to help fix those mistakes. Along side that, He not only edits the english side of the wiki, But also on the other language pages to ensure that they stay updated and do not fall behind. He puts hard work into templates including asking translators to add their translations for the use of translation switches. To Summarize all this, Darkid is probably the most helpful and is dedicated to help the wiki in as many ways as possible. His edits and contribution should not go unnoticed!

Pictogram plus.png  Expercienced, kind, obedient and very active is enough for me to describe a Wiki Cap owner
Pictogram plus.png  From what I've seen, Darkid's a pretty valuable wiki editor. He's working on the wiki almost every day, if not every day, and he updates not only the English side, but the language sides of pages, to make sure that they're consistent and up to date. He corrects a lot of errors with pages having wrong categories, being named incorrectly, and problems with templates and nav bars. I've never seen anyone fill up the recent changes log as much as he has, and he manages to do it multiple times over. All in all, I think that Darkid is definitely worthy of a sparkly hat.
Pictogram plus.png  Darkid is probably best known as the Wiki's chief spammer. I kid of course, but at the cost of cluttering up the Recent Changes log comes the great benefit of adding in new content to all areas of the wiki. From categorizing accross all languages to going deep into the Wiki's technical bowels, to spending tons of time manually editing the most trivial things to contributing to new articles, Darkid truly is a jack of all trades. Somebody give him the hat before he spams us all to oblivion.

2013-10-20 2014-02-15 Pictogram plus.png  rewrite: give specific examples, we know he uploads a lot of images

Pictogram plus.png  Omolong has been contributing alot of interesting images and pictures of painted items, and also fixing some pages (give examples of these pages - Lagg) too, Omolong also helps alot of people on the IRC chat, always providing help and looking for new pictures to do!
Pictogram plus.png  Omolong has been a big part of the TFWiki community. Every update he uploads tons of images including paints,BP images, icons and even the preview images. He is always ready to help on the IRC and will help the wiki in other ways. His knowledge on the wiki and his willingness to help the wiki is what is most important. Without Omolong, The wiki would be behind on most updates without his swift uploads and edits.
Pictogram plus.png  Ok, so the rewrite needs to put example the work that's not image? I think this work and this work are worth the example.

2013-11-03 2014-02-15 Pictogram plus.png  Fuffeh has been an active /sv translator for almost a year now. Recently he has started doing an absurd amount of consistency work to other lang pages as well, keeping infoboxes and categories in sync across languages. In addition to this, he is really active in the IRC as well.

Pictogram plus.png  Fuffeh is a verry active person in the IRC, a long time ago, he wasn't on the IRC for too much time but now he came back and he is making incredible edits, fixing items and making some good work on the /sv part of the wiki, Fuffeh is also a friendly and nice person on the IRC with some new members and helps them!
Pictogram plus.png  Fuffeh is dedicated to his craft. Although I do not spend time on the wiki/IRC nowadays due to work/grad school, throughout the past year he updates me about the improvements he has done on the wiki. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. And based on the pudding (his proof of contributions and activity) it doesn't take much thinking to conclude that Fuffeh has made major, sweeping changes for the good of the wiki and is a valuable member.
Pictogram plus.png  Hm. Where to start? Well for starters, Fuffeh is a great and valued contributor to the /sv side of the wiki. He is very willing in taking any task that requires swedish translations. He has also taken the job of going through other languages to correct categories and navs. (Although he can't outspam me). He is very dedicated in helping the wiki, and is capable of doing much more. He is quite the member to remember for sure.
Pictogram plus.png  I was going to nominate this user, but saw he was already nominated! Fuffeh has caught my eye even before my return to the wiki. His helpful attitude (on the IRC and also introducing new members to the community, such as Dutch user Doomageguy recently) and longstanding dedication to not just the Swedish wiki but also maintaining and improving the wiki in other languages (see his last 50 edits for example). His contributions and consistent activity has made him a force of good for this wiki, and for that I am grateful enough to at least back this nomination.

2013-11-25 2014-02-15 Pictogram plus.png  Ricci is a Brazilian contributor who improves Pt-Br side of TF2Wiki steadily and actively. His work is not just concentrated on translate to Portuguese, he also do minor fixes and edits to other language wiki. And he also consistently uploads localized images like this and this to help Brazilian user understand more easily. That's why I nominate him and sparkling officer's cap would be a good reward for his work.

Pictogram plus.png  Ricci (Rick) is now a active person and maybe even better than i am in the pt-br part, after i got out of the wiki for a year, he took care of things arround here, after that i took his place. Then he is back again, and i see he is doing some good work! I expect alot from Ricci (rick), and i think he deserves a wikicap for his great and nice work. (rick)
Pictogram plus.png  Well... since I've reviewed Metroid7 not long ago, I thought I'd review the other Brazilian nominee in this list too. I've taken a look at Ricci's edits and they are pretty good in general. There are a few misspellings here and there, but grammarly and orthographically, they are very good. He also goes and fixes several old translations, which is great too. I don't know much about his other contributions, though, to speak about them; specially his mod duties and such. But translation-wise, I think his contributions are good enough to receive a Cap.

2014-02-16 2014-07-19 Pictogram plus.png  Looking over Ale's edits, I'd say he's done a lot of good contributions. He's the most active Spanish contributor around, and he's consistently created new pages for items and similar things when updates come out, and he makes sure to keep these pages up to date as people add and change stuff to them. Not only that, but he goes over a lot of older pages too, making sure they are correct and update to date. He's pretty active on the IRC as well, and he welcomes a lot of new users on their talk pages.

Pictogram plus.png  Ale has been very active since June, and during that time he has made lots of quality Spanish translations, as well as updating old ones at a regular pace. In addition, he constantly welcomes new users and is very active in the IRC. He has done a lot considering how he is on his own for the most part these days, but that doesn't seem to hinder him. In a nutshell: a dedicated and active (and neat) Spanish translator.
Pictogram plus.png Ale is very active on the wiki, he's the most active Spanish contributor, always updating old pages, and reverting poor edits other users make, while welcoming new users to the wiki and being very active on the IRC. Overall he's a very good contributor.
Pictogram plus.png He has shown quality edits to the wiki, especially to the spanish side. A good example of what users should strive towards.
Pictogram plus.png I've seen Ale's many translations and edits. Recently I've seen many fixes in hat/cosmetic changes. The translations though are what made me write this.
Pictogram plus.png Ale is a really active and a good ES/ translator, i've seen him updating old pages and fixing grammar and also, teaching new people to translate too! Ale is also a (neat)cool guy in the IRC, and i think he should be awarded a (sharpy) shinny hat for his hard and tough work!
Pictogram plus.png After stalked this guy for long, he's the good person. Always take care the small part that nobody noticed like change headwear item to cosmetic item in many cosmetic page. This guy works too hard, even translation. I think he should earn some reward for that and yes, don't forget to hi-five
Pictogram plus.png He has been helping many new users such as me to start editing on this wiki. Awnsers steam and talk pages very often and always helps with all his knowledge 11/10 .
Pictogram plus.png  I Thought Ale Already had a cap, apparently not. He deserves one for all the reasons stated above and more. I have not seen him mess up ever, and I remember myself breaking a few, like Community Scout Strategy. He is quite active in the irc, and helps many new users out. He is also a great translator, and really should be paid for it. He definatly deserves the cap, and probably will obtain it. He has my vote.

2014-06-10 2014-11-23 Pictogram plus.png  TidB is quite active on the wiki, here is what i have observed.
  • Whenever I am just sitting or doing something on the IRC, TidB always appears in the recent changes logs doing something helpful, adding more to articles, translating ,creating untranslated articles or actively discussing things in the IRC.
  • Will always greet new users with a warm welcome and help them out if they ask.
  • If anyone makes any template changes, big, small, dictionary additions, core templates, etc, TidB just jumps to the task and translates the template work ASAP and does so without error.

I may not know the German language but I have seen known German editors such as Agentbull commending his work only confirming even further that this user has done some very good work to only help better the wiki.
Pictogram plus.png  TidB deserves the cap all the way. He's always friendly, helps out and welcomes all new editors + he creates, updates, translates, improves teamplates and a lot of articles. Furthermore he's very active in the irc and did some hard work to help the german editors to ease the work of translating with his great WikiTranslator-Python program which saves us a lot of time and work.
Pictogram plus.png  Not only is TidB helping me whenever I got any questions or problems with the wiki, he furthermore welcomes all other new German translators, motivates them and helps them to translate, correcting them if they do something wrong. Mentionable is also the steadiness of TidB's valuable contributions, since the very beginning of his work he never had any big pauses in his time here. Besides this activity in the wiki you can also find him on the IRC very often, discussing important topcis or answering some questions. He really is a worthy succesor to our last great German translator, AgentBull.
Pictogram plus.png  TidB is clearly our best (most active, most professional, most helpful) translator at the moment. There are no large gaps in his edit timeline, and since I'm rather inactive, he translates most if not all of the recent additions (his list of translations is pretty impressive!) He's the one who translated many of the largest articles into German, even boring strategy pages like these. Bonus points for IRC activity, welcoming new users and of course his awesome WikiTranslator. I hope my opinion has some weight and as STS Mod I can guarantee that TidB's translations are (nearly) perfect :)
Pictogram plus.png  Very helpful to have a guy on the IRC. We talked about various topics and came to conclussions which would have otherwise taken days in discussions to solve. I wanted to point that out that not only to be on the IRC but to be active and respond on the IRC is a good thing. Peace & out.
Pictogram plus.png  TipB Deserves the cap beacuse he is like the best translator i ever saw and he also helps alot of people in the IRC So i 100% think's he deserve's it
Pictogram plus.png  I started editing the wiki about a week ago, and when I started, I was pretty lost and confused, (still kinda am) but TidB helped me out on the IRC and really got me going, he taught me all the basics and gave me multiple tips on how to become a better editor, and how to learn things myself. I definitely think he earned a Wiki Cap, and I really hope he gets one.
Pictogram plus.png  I started editing the wiki 3 days ago , and TidB was the only one that explained me where I did wrong , where I should practice more . And I was really surprised to see that he is a really nice person that can help you if you are confused . He is a good teacher , you could say . He really deserves a Wiki Cap .
Pictogram plus.png  TidB is always helping out when someone does a mistake. Minutes after I've edited something or created a new translated page TidB takes a look at it and finds all the spelling or grammatic issues and corrects them. He does deserve the Wiki Cap for his kindness, translation skills & activity.
Pictogram plus.png  TidB is somewhat a popular guy on the IRC, and on the wiki itself. TidB have worked in many translations for the German translation project, as well fixing many little things in any pages. Not to mention, he is the creator of the WikiTranslator, a tool created by himself that helps in many stuff (read more here). On the IRC, he's helping anyone, with about any subject I've seen, from images, to page discussions and how to properly edit a page. He also comments into user profiles how to edit a page in a good way, when someone just made their first translation, this means he watches the Recent Changes pretty much. Overall, I think that doing a program to help the wiki, being a nice guy and worked a lot into the German pages is something that makes someone being nominated, I'm pretty sure that he truly deserves it.
Pictogram plus.png  Helpful and more than active, yes, I can't qualify it any better than it already has. My comment is personal, and so might not fall neatly into the criteria; all of my experiences with the experienced editors have been positive (let me say again, all), but when interacting with TibD, I always feel like smiling.
Pictogram plus.png  TidB is a regular and he's also pretty popular on the IRC. He's always there to check recent edits made within the wiki, whether it be from new or older users, and make sure they are correct. I myself joined the wiki two weeks ago and TidB was one of the first few people I interacted with. He's the creator of a very interesting tool called the WikiTranslator which helps translating pages faster and easier. 100% useful for when major updates come along. He's also a very nice guy and I think he really deserves the cap for his contributions and overall helpfulness in the wiki.
Pictogram plus.png  Tidb...Hard worker (Credit to team) to the wiki,as he helped manny users i've seen, created some usefull tools for the wiki and also he is a verry active person on the wiki. With loutsa edits on manny articles and also on his own language as well. For me its enough for earning a "Little Shinny Cap"

2014-09-25 2015-04-04 Pictogram plus.png  After watch this guy for a long time, he's the one that can deal with the most things that we already forget. (Like add the texture that mention in trivia, Fix the things for consistency, Update the images) Also, he's nice and respectful. He keeps the pt-br sections to up-to-date, despite pt-br is one of the outdated section. He did a lot of hard works and I think it's the time to give him the reward.

Pictogram plus.png  helps out new users making sure they edit properly and correctly. He would check and give good understandable critical feedbacks suggesting what to do and what not to do for future purposes.
Pictogram plus.png  Gabrielwoj is definitely one of the most active and best users on the wiki. Starting with a large amount of consistency work regarding the switch to the "cosmetics" system, he soon advanced to uploading quite a lot missing Steam Workshop thumbnails. For some time by now, he's always creating or improving pictures with high quality, check this here, here, here or here. And he's not only updating the pictures, he even updates the corresponding articles as far as possible. Furthermore, he's active on the IRC and is helping other users with the aforementioned topics.
Pictogram plus.png  Even though I am not active on the wiki much, every time I come on I see that Gabrielwoj's name is almost always in recent changes. He has high quality edits and has contributed so much to the wiki. For example, Gabrielwoj has uploaded lots of high quality images to the wiki, he is very active, and has many other reasons that he is a great contributor. Before the WelcomeBot came online, he helped to introduce over 700 people to the wiki. He is also helping the other language sides of the wiki, as opposed to just English pages.
Pictogram plus.png  "Woj" is a active screenshot or gallery worker on the pt-br side, he has the ability of creating high quality images for the item info boxes and also, fixing and reviewing the pt-br pages when he can, he is also a active person too
Pictogram plus.png  Gabriel's done an incredible amount of work for the wiki, and plans to do even more (see his to-do list for evidence of that). He translates articles, uploads nearly innumerable amounts of images, and is generally very active. He tries to be in IRC to help out new recruits whenever he can, and is generally quite friendly and helpful to everyone. He peeks through the game's files to find possible trivia additions upon the arrival of every update. His edits often fill up entire pages of the wiki's recent changes list, and because of that he's actually broken a few wiki edit records. He's set standards to ensure unification throughout the wiki, and is professional about doing so. In short, he scours both the wiki and the game's files regularly and improves everything that he sees room for improvement in to give everyone who browses the wiki the most enjoyable experience possible.
Pictogram plus.png  Gabrielwoj always tries to help me when I've got some problems around. He especially attempts to explain to me how he creates those damn great pictures with his magic graphic tools(which he really masters). He's very active in the IRC, too, always there for a constructive discussion about some wiki details. Another important point is that he is really, really active. If you take a look at his editing history you see how regularly he is creating images and updating the wiki.
Pictogram plus.png  I believe Gabrielwoj deserves the cap due to his many contributions. Takes amazing images and he's always working hard to improve the existing wiki content, and is also a really nice guy, always worrying about others and trying to help and cheer them up. Takes part in many active discussions. Very friendly, can usually be found in the IRC. Thank you for your help! Russian bear voted for you: D
Pictogram plus.png  Gabrielwoj. As usual, splendid translator, and great helper of mine. He ALWAYS takes on the tasks I give him. As well as he fulfill them properly everytime, or almost everytime though :) But when it's too hard, at least he is trying. Never heard "I won't help you, tubi, ain't nobody got time for dat!". For what he did for Mother Wiki and his help to other translators, he totally deserves to be remembered as someone who worked really hard for the Community and for the sparkles all over his head.

Kii TidB

Lexar
2014-10-10 2015-04-04 Pictogram plus.png  Kii is an extremely experienced and active translator and editor. Nearly every translation by him has no mistakes at all which is even more impressive when considering his giant list of translations. He translates most of the Japanese pages, including small ones (numerous patch notes), medium ones (an insane amount of item articles) and huge ones, including the Community Scout strategy/ja. Besides this, he regulary updates the dictionary with the latest official names and descriptions not only in Japanese, but in other foreign languages as well. His translation efforts are not limited to articles, but also include the translation of comics, i.e. this one here. Additionally, he responds fast and friendly to messages, gets tasks done quickly and is fairly often and active in the IRC. On top of that, he compiles useful information into guides for other translators. Other notable pieces of information are his consistency edits when community site pages were removed; he fixed all links on all languages, not even mentioning other cross-language fixes, reaching from adding missing "displaytitle" templates to categorising files and pages. But again, the main reason he deserves the cap are his many, wide-spread and high-quality translations.

Pictogram plus.png  Kii is really responsible for a huge part of the Japanese translation project on this wiki, I've seen him doing translations on many type of pages, like Update Patches, Categories, Main Pages (E.g.: items/classes/weapons/maps...), Community Strategies and etc, and all of them look really good, along with all that, he does also edits/translates comics for his language. He also fixes the consistency for pages on any language, or do minor edits for a variety of languages. Concluding, he also adds vital information for new Japanese editors on the Team Fortress Wiki:Translation progress/ja page. The best reason for my nomination by far is his translation quality, I'm pretty sure that every Japanese reader would appreciate to read his translated articles.
Pictogram plus.png  What can I possibly add to what has already been said? I guess should just say what I have observed. I may have been inactive for decent durations of time, but when I come on here, I come on here for quite a while and every time I do I see Kii here making many updates and changes to the Japanese end of the wiki. There is not a day I have been on the IRC and not seen kii somewhere a numerous amount of times editing or updating articles, kii has been persistent with this for quite some time, many months even. Heck if kii weren't here, I can only imagine how much of the jap wiki would be outdated or yet to be done. I believe kii's hard work should not go un-noticed. All though I did want to nominate kii many months ago, I wanted to make sure others were getting the same vibe and what do you know? They were. Now I can give you my thumbs up without any uncertainties.

2015-02-07 2016-01-01 Pictogram plus.png  Obilisk regularly produces weapon demonstration videos of very good quality. When they need a redo because the weapon gets updated or whatnot, he follows up on it. His profile page logs the numerous demonstrations he has done. He also provides early reviews to other demonstrators so that they don't need to wait on me doing the weekly review, and these reviews are rarely off the mark.


Pictogram plus.png  Obilisk have made a lot of good quality Weapon Demonstration videos for the Weapon Demostration project with great quality, not only weapons, but as well Pyroland demonstration or Set demonstrations. He also updates the videos when a new updates comes out updating the weapon stats. His Userpage (which is very fancy), shows all his incredible work he have done, some even made more than one, as mentioned earlier, that some stuff get updated by Valve (Weapons, Cosmetics, Item Sets, etc.) and these Weapon Demonstrations have to be re-done again. Finally, he helps the people on the Weapon Demonstration discussion page with what it should be edited or re-done in order to achieve a very good quality video just like his.

2015-05-16 2016-05-17 Pictogram plus.png  I've been watching Tark's edits since one of his first contributions, and I can say how much he has been contributing since that day. From quick-traslating (with quality grammar, puntaction, consistency and etc.) new pages from new updates (Limited Late Summer Pack/pt-br, Scream Fortress 2014/pt-br, End of the Line Update/pt-br and Smissmas 2014/pt-br) as well pages other pages, such as patch notes, newly added items (such as promotional items). But we are not over yet. He also created unexistent community maps that were on the list but no pages were available (including translation for pt-br too), including, but not least, good quality images of the map in various angles/places. He also uploaded some images from the Merchandise of some items/stuff, such as Spycrab and the EoTL update. Along with all that, he is now updating all pages (cosmetics, weapons and such) to make it sync'd with the English page. He is not doing that alone, Metroid7 is helping with it as well, and both of them updates well with well written grammar. There are plenty contributions to place everything here, but to finalize, he is constantly active in various areas of the Wiki, such as replying TalkPages or UserTalks, and etc. So in a nutshell, I support Tark for the Wiki Cap, not only he have (and it's still doing) great contributions, but he is also highly active on the Wiki.

Pictogram plus.png  Tark's been helping me with my edits for a time now, and for a little time i had to stop my editings but Tark kept working on the pt-br side even without my assistance, he edits the pt-br side verry well and creates a massasive spam of minimal fixes on pages in need of updates. In adition, Tark helps me with his minimal edit fixes on updated pages i did, its been a long work for him and...he can deserve a shinny hat for that eh?
Pictogram plus.png  Although Tark is mostly on the translation side, his/her works on en section are also good and he/she has respect to other contributor. Here are some examples.
Pictogram plus.png  When I first joined TF2Wiki a little under a month ago, Tark was one of the first people there to help me get started. He's very amusing and very helpful, always there to answer my questions when I needed him the most. He's a fun guy to be around and gives helpful advice with edits. As for the contributions he made himself, he has done a lot of translating for the Brazilian Wiki. When I'm looking for ideas on how to tackle a page, he's there to give his two sense. With how fun and helpful he is, and all the work he has put into the Wiki, I believe without a doubt Tark deserves the Wiki Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I joined the TF2Wiki just to be a member and help. Then I received a message from Tark, with lots of helpful links, and at the end of that message, he said: If you need help, contact me. Later I added him on steam and we started talking, I made lots of questions, and he responded every single one of them to me. He helped translating the TF2Wiki a lot and he is someone of great importance for this wiki. If you need help, Tark is always there to help and give advices. One last thing: If someone deserves a really beautiful hat, It's Tark.
Pictogram plus.png  Tark helped me out a lot when I started editing the wiki (and honestly, he still does), providing lots of tips and helpful information. He's an excellent all-around contributor to the wiki, helping out not only with updating and translating info, but also with pictures and even audio recently (see the audio files related to Gun Mettle/contracts, for example). He's one of the most prolific editors currently, with his name nearly always being on the recent changes log – always there fixing mistakes, updating information and translating (though his work is not limited to just the brazilian wiki!). His dedication to the wiki is simply unbelievable.
Pictogram plus.png  Tark has always been very friendly and helpful. I always see him working tirelessly on his translations as well (He is also very protective of his pages as I found out first hand). If we didn't have Tark, we would be missing out on a whole load of stuff. Above all of that I think that he is a great person who is a great addition to the wiki team and is most deserving of a hat for his efforts.
Pictogram plus.png  So far, Tark has proven that he is dedicated and has commitment to the wiki. Ranging from translations on the pt-br side of the wiki to just mass updates of other pages and or language pages using templates is quite helpful. Reduces the load of the other language sides that have little to no activity. Even taking my job at categorizing (He took ma jerb) but still understanding how things on the wiki works. His work by far should be rewarded. Exceeding most other users especially.
Pictogram plus.png  Tark seems to me to be a real asset to this community, from the dedication he shows to translation, to his friendly welcoming nature to newcomers (myself included), I believe Tark exemplifies many of the best aspects of the community. He has also been of great assistance as I have learnt how the wiki works, and even as I created pages for new items (albeit somewhat incompletely). Tark's steam chat was always open to me throughout this process, and I believe that he is a worthy recipient for the Wiki Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  Tark haven't really done much for me, but he seems like a cool guy. I see him almost everyday in the Recent changes log, translating, fixing articles, or undoing useless edits. I took a look at some of his many contributions, and I can clearly say that he have done a lot for the pt-br side of the Wiki. His many Wikichievements also show how much of an active editor he is. Shortly said— Tark is credit to Wiki!

Holy shit this took a year.
We (the wiki staff) are really bad at this cap-giving thing, and we apologize.

2015-05-25 2016-05-22 Pictogram plus.png  How can I talk about Radist's contributions? Hm, let's see: Constantly updates outdated /ru articles, translated several item/stuff articles, made a lot of translated comic pages for various comics (including update pages), and finally, he updates several pages in various languages when minor fixes needs to be done. Radist have done plenty of contributions of all types of variety for quite some time, and he is a pretty cool guy as well. So here is my nomination.


Pictogram plus.png  Oh, great, someone but me nomimated Radist. Well, he does deserve a sparkling hat I think. With his dark magic finding pages to edit for him, his Contribs counter grows on high speeds. Even his edits are not always huge, they are always quick. He keeps pages synced to English ones. He also knows his way around Templates, as far as I know. And he helped me alot to find pages to edit increase my effectiveness. What a nice head to wear a rare hat.
Pictogram plus.png  Honestly, I never thought this day would come. Radist nominated for The Wiki Cap! I can't talk a lot and pretty, so I'll be brief: it is a pleasure to work with, he is always responsive and willing to help with anything. But for him, I would have done a lot of mistakes on this Wiki. I'm voting for my "teacher" because he really deserves the shiny cap! :D
Pictogram plus.png  I am kinda new to this wiki, but i've already found a man to follow in here:It's Radist. I see his in a Recent changes log almost everytime i visit it. His translations are very accurate and i think, that he is one of the reasons, that /ru wiki still didn't outdated at all. I didn't have a conversation with him, but i'm sure, that soon i will know him closer and he will still work for this wiki!
Pictogram plus.png  Radist is quite the translator. Quick on updates and anything that needs to be done on the Russian side of the wiki. New updates comes out and he's always on top of things (Even faster than me when I started). Also very willing to help with things that extremely minor such as categories. By far the most active Russian translator on the wiki and the work he has done is a prime example of his dedication and commitment towards the TF Wiki.

Also took almost a year. heavy_oooh_dis_is_bad.wav
Ofuton Gabrielwoj 2015-05-25 2016-06-14 Pictogram plus.png  Another Japanese contributor? It seems so. Ofuton and Kii were like a partner in the Steam group that had several Japanese contributions (which now is abandoned), and both translated a lot of pages. But now, let's just talk about Ofuton. Ofuton, like Kii's, updated/created a lot of /ja pages with good quality, and he does also updates several ones to sync with the official English page (pretty quickly too, when someone edits or adds important content on the English page). His edits can vary to minor edits to really huge edits (constantly having green bolded numbers on his contributions page), and does also translates quite quickly after an update releases with new items or other content. That's my nomination for him, his nomination looks tad similar to Kii's honestly, but I can't negate, both of them have done great contributions to the /ja pages, and I hope to see more people like this for the /ja pages or any other language. Took over a year. すみませんでした (▰︶︹︶▰)
ClockworkSpirit2343 Dr. Scaphandre 2015-10-08 2016-09-08 Pictogram plus.png  Clockwork has been a member of the wiki for a little over a year and a half and has contributed to a part of it nearly everyday since. He keeps an eye on the little details and recent updates and is quick to make the needed changes. He doesn't just work in pages though, as he also works to update images and post new ones when necessary. With his eye to detail and quick reactions, I believe in my heart that Clockwork deserves a Wiki Cap.

2015-10-03 2016-09-11 Pictogram plus.png  Dr S has done a lot of work on the Gun Mettle pages, adding screenshots, fixing custom map pages, he's got it all. He's also incredibly kind when it comes to social interaction. He's an amazing guy and contributes more then enough to make the wiki amazing. I don't know what else to put here.. I nominate him. :)


Dr. Schpandre so far, has done quite alot of work so far on the wiki. Although the amount of work he's done does not seem like it would be enough to truly see him as a plausible nominee. Of course this can be changed in due time but this is my current standing. A little too soon for a nomination as there needs to be more I would personally need to see before I give a better comment on this.
Pictogram plus.png  Dr. Scaphandre was one of the first people to guide me in my confused little land that is on this wiki. They weren't mean or scared me. They embraced me with open arms and treated me like a father would son, showing me around the wiki and telling me how to do this and that and how to improve my edits. The doctor also told me to put my love and interest into my additions. Doctor Scap is nominated, and I know a lot of others are too. But I assure you, the doc is passionate about this wiki. They contribute a lot and are certainly welcoming to new guys. Their enthusiasm and cheerful personality leaves no doubt in my mind they deserve this award.
Pictogram plus.png  Coming into this massive venture that is the TF Wiki, regardless of experience on other wikis, I experienced near crippling culture shock. It was in no small part the assistance and guidance of the Doc that started me on my path to wiki success. He's a valuable contributor, and his leadership on the Community Strategy project has helped me through many a tough game. I heartily recommend the Doc for this honour and privilege.
Pictogram plus.png  Dr. Scaphandre has been doing a great job in the wiki, not only doing ordinary edits, but also helping out a lot of new users, carefully monitoring trivia additions, and of course coordinating the mass update, revision and creation of new strategy pages with the Community Strategy project. I think these contributions are considerable and valuable enough for a nomination.
Pictogram plus.png  Dr. Scaphandre was one of the very first to award me a Wikichievement. He's pretty active towards the talk pages and contributes to the Community Strategy Project. And, boy— he sure knows the difference between good and bad trivia. He is also a pretty friendly guy, and he has been a great help to new users, helping them understand how the Wiki works. He may not be a translator, but in my opinion, he deserves the the shiny cap for the work he have done, so far.
Pictogram plus.png  Since now he's a staff member, I'll move every staff activity to the side and only look at the normal job. He's the one who noticed about bad quality edits on Trivia section. Also he's the one that always has the idea for new stuffs, such as created Template:Removed content for the contents that were added and already get removed. I think this guy did the work hard enough to deserve it.

Jjin3826 Koira 2015-10-23 2016-09-11 Pictogram plus.png  Jjin3826 have been editing and translating like everyday on /ko. I don't understand korean but I think that Jjin3826 deserves a sparkly cap.


Originally I was for Jjin receiving a Wiki Cap, as he's the only one working for the Korean wiki and has done so much for it. However after further consideration I'm changing my nomination from positive to neutral. His recent translations have been questionable at best and he never takes his time with them, constantly flooding the recent changes log with the littlest of changes. (Unmarked as minor edits no less.) He could easily change this habit of his, but until then, I don't think it's his time yet.

2016-07-29 2016-09-18 Pictogram plus.png  Since Faghetti started his career in February, he was highly active all through (except for a short exam phase), he contributes to the Danish section shoots out lots of translation on a daily basis. Not only small articles like item pages but also >10k bytes articles are totally normal for this guy. In the short time he is here he already translated more than some Wiki Cap owners had in their entire time here.
I already asked a Danish sts mod to review his translations, after his review he gave a quite positive feedback, quotes from the correspondence were "overall I think he's the best Danish TF2 wiki translator" and "he seems to be really into it and does surprisingly well considering what I've seen from certain other Danish users" (whole correspondence).
In the TF wiki community Faghetti is heavily active in tf wiki community, always on the irc when he's translating, (which is often, see User:TidB/IRC for reference), to help people and stay in contact with others for coordination. In that context he also shows great cooperation with another Danish translator, Wiki Pan, with which together he contributed to currently over 18% of translation progress since Faghetti joined here.


Pictogram plus.png  Faghetti is one of those few translators who just push it to the next level. Almost every day he's spamming the Recent change log with new translations, which is actually a good thing. Together we have brought life to the Danish section of the Wiki again, and his translations are indeed in good quality, too. Even though he's a translator, he still help the English section with other things, such as outdated pages, missing content, or just by guiding new editors in the IRC. Last but not least; he's one of the greatest translation partners out there... if you're a Dane, of course. :3

2016-09-18 2017-01-07 Pictogram plus.png  Is staff. Has shown organizational prowess. Translator to boot.
Pictogram plus.png  The reasons for getting a Wiki-cap can be aplenty: You can be a brilliant translator, excellent picture creator, extravagant video-maker or a code-wizard. Nikno falls in a very special category, for not only has he changed the German side of the wiki with excellent translations, but he has also left a permanent mark on the wiki as a whole, and I'm not only referering to his pictures. Even before Nikno became a mod, he made sure the wiki wouldn't wither into obscurity; he helped revive what had been dead for quite some time, and make way for a new system that would benefit everyone. And if that wasn't enough -because it isn't- he is also extremely helpful, friendly and quick to help everyone who might need it. With all this in my mind, I support a wiki-cap-wearing Nikno all the way. Huzzah!


Pictogram plus.png  Nikno has been with the wiki for years in the shadows doing his best to help the other editors to improve the site. With his dedication, he's risen to the ranks of a moderator, helping the wiki in the behind the scenes. He's also a translator for the German wiki with big translations, also helping other translators. He has been a big help, and his help should not go unrewarded.
Pictogram info.png  You shall not be judged by friends and family, but by what your enemies say about you.
Pictogram plus.png  I don't like Niknos style of "corrected" in the summary, cause it leads to the assumption that other editors make graveous errors, but more often it is something tiny, BUT i still love his pinpoint sharpshooter-like accurate work on the wiki. He finds everything that could be wrong with a single glance. He looks at an article as a whole and doesn't get lost in obscure meanings or odd long sentences which makes only sense if you got a doctor in something. He gets a clear picture out with his wording of sentences, so that people not only understand it but thrive to do a better job. He has a very good structure and he is always there for you if you got something that is important, like if Bratwurst is better then Pizza or not(bad example). If he isn't an absolute candiate for a nomination, i wouldn't even bother writing this, cause it would be a waste on a person i don't like at all, but I respect him a lot.
Pictogram plus.png  Very good and productive translator, especialy during the last few months. Also very active in IRC as far as I can tell; whenever I look at the chat logs, I see his name all over the place. Welcoming new users, always being helpful, creating and uploading images, moderating the wiki = a great contributor who definitely deserves the cap :)


Pictogram plus.png  I know that Nikno has been contributing for quite some years now, but his activity this year just beats them all together. Nikno is that kind of guy that takes the initiative to really get something running; he's always super helpful and friendly, and also takes the time to contact STS mods to review other translators. However, taking out some of the staff activity, he has also been making a good amount of translations for the German section, as well as painted variants. He's active almost everyday on the wiki and IRC, always trying to improve the wiki as best as he can. Nikno definitely deserves the shiny cap.


Pictogram plus.png  Nikno is very friendly and gladly helps anyone who asks. He's has a lot of experience and dedication to what he does. He does so much for the wiki, and has always been diligent. This man definitely deserves the cap for what all he does for the wiki.


Pictogram plus.png  From the first day of my wiki days to present, he helped me so much, he taught me most of the wiki language, helped in most of the cases, and he was really friendly while doing all of this. Not just in personal stuff, he helped in general stuff, and he is really fast though, also he is active in IRC most of the time. To make long story short, he really deserves that cap. (He even helped in STS cases, nothing much to say.)


Pictogram plus.png  Nikno was one of the first people (along with Faghetti) to say "hello" to me on my first visit to IRC, and while it was apparent that he was nice, I didn't speak to him much. Even so, Nikno has been surprisingly quick and helpful, leaving encouragement on people's talk pages (including me, regarding my strategy project), and he'd jump to giving me advice if I left a question on IRC; this is despite me not being active on IRC, and not asking for him specifically... its all his own initiative. Recently I also saw this man's patience, since he even took the time to check a template page to fix an error I was stuck with, then left me with a smiley emoticon and a "no problem". Aww. Overall, he's been very courteous and friendly to many of us, and its obvious that he's extremely dependable. To word it like what he left me once: *Recognition for Nickno's work*. Enjoy that cap!


Pictogram plus.png  Nilno Deserves the cap beacuse he is like the best translator i ever saw and he also helps alot of people in the IRC So i 100% think's he deserve's it. Also a good memer on the IRC. And he greets users with pretty verbose write-ups. Otherwise, just look above. And he's an actually active mod.


Pictogram plus.png  Friendly guy, who can help you always. A lot of contributions: images, translations. Also he is patrolling and active IRC user.

2016-09-10 2017-01-16 Pictogram plus.png  MarioMaster2008 has had quite the history on the wiki. His main job has been uploading images of painted variants and styles, as well as other important images. He has also been quick to update templates and create new pages extremely quickly. His talents should not go unnoticed anymore, and I believe it's his time to receive a Wiki Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  A lot of contribution, and useful wiki's images.


Pictogram plus.png  I'll be honest, now that I've realized how long and tedious it is to make and upload media and pictures onto the wiki, MarioMaster2008 deserves some recognition. Check his contributions - that's a crazy amount of work done for images. He basically got every single painted cosmetic for Smissmas 2016 done a few days after the update launched while me and some others were busy with the text parts of each page. Plus, he does know how to work with templates very well and I do see him name very often on the recent changes page, so... come on, we have a hard worker here! He deserves it.

2017-05-18 2017-11-09 Pictogram plus.png  Veteran tf2 wiki, huge contribution, friendly guy, digger of useful images. At a minimum, he tried very hard for the community, perfectly coping with their work.

Pictogram plus.png  Very kind, friendly, hardworking guy, translated over 50% (!) of TF2 Wiki to Danish, spent a lot of his time on TF2 Wiki. Also, makes A LOT of useful contributions.
Pictogram plus.png  As I started to Korean translation in January of this year, I often looked at the Recent Changes page. Most of the translation contributions were from Wiki Pan.
Pictogram plus.png  Because of his last nomination I was afraid to back up Wiki Pan in fear of it being too soon and everything ending up akward like last time; it was horrible, and I do not want to repeat that mistake. But now I have to pay my respect for Wiki Pan: my long time translation partner in crime around these parts. Let's start with his translations which ended up being his undoing last time. After the last decline he went back and fixed a lot of his early translations, which, admittablely, were some of his more grammatically questionable pages, and as time went on he became a lot better at translation in general. I recently got in contact with Alex (one of the danish STS mods) who both appreciates his translation work on the STS and his newer work on this site. One of his comments were: " Det er næsten som om han er en ny person med den forskel, der er. Han har min anbefaling." (Trans: It is almost like he is an entirely different person with the improvements from last time. He has my recommendation). So as far as translations goes I would say he is in the clear. I did notice some grammatical errors looking through his most recent page translations, but nothing serious and he is also fast to correct the mistakes I make whenever they should appear (which isn't too often - fortunately) so it is only fair for me to have his back when he makes mistakes, too (even if more frequent). Other than that he has used a lot of his time on adding new pictures to various pages which he has done dutifully and IRC spammingly for quite some time. Here are some examples of his good work: this, this and lastly this. He also frequently updates templates, something I am fond of. Lastly I want to talk about him as a person. Wiki Pan was one of the first "faces" I got into contact with on the Wiki and I still remember writing hi to him shortly after I began my "career" on the Wiki. That might have been a long time ago, but to this day he is still as friendly and helpful as back then. He is also a frequent IRC user so you can easily get into contact with him if needed. I can't think of anything else to say.... other than Wiki Pan - stay awesome!
Pictogram plus.png  I nominated him a long time ago thinking he was ready for the Cap, but then there was some issues with his translations the last time he was put up. However his translations are no longer an issue as they have massively improved. As an added bonus, he's also been doing a lot of other work around the wiki, like I have. This time, he is fully ready to receive a Wiki Cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I never see someone deals with more than a type of jobs. Updating images, pages, even translating or deals with low quality edits. I think this guy has enough work with enough tears and blood spilled for this shiny cap.
Pictogram plus.png  Wiki Pan has always been very helpful and has even helped out with cosmetic images as well as doing translations. He has even started doing some great 3D image work too! A very hard working wiki member and a very friendly person too :3

2017-10-21 2018-06-30 Pictogram plus.png  Mikado282 is one of those silent contributors who does a lot for the wiki without being noticed. They have created so many helpful pages and updated many pages that needed help, and are also very handy with other users when they need help. Besides big updates, Mikado282 also helps with images from time to time.

Pictogram plus.png  Mikado's been very helpful to both the Wiki and I. He also does great article overhauls, especially for technical details, that are of excellent quality with only the fewest and most minor of typos. 'Fact, I'd say he's pretty much the main technical guy of the TF2 Wiki right now for in-game technical details.
Pictogram plus.png  I am still relatively new, but from what I've scanned of his plethora of quality edits, Mikado seems quite dedicated to improving the Wiki with good content. Honestly, the calibre of his efforts easily could wrestle with a Wikipedia moderator's from my long experience there. It seems he truly loves the Wiki and TF2 itself and I would gladly support what he deserves.
Pictogram plus.png  Quite an active editor - he's pretty much a regular in that regard, regularly adds edits; as for their quality, I have to say that his articles/additions are well-written and there's no issue with them - as a translator, I can also say that I don't have any difficulty with translating his stuff, which should say something. Mikado's work ranges from adding pictures (for maps, as an example), overhauling/adding articles and minor fixes/additions, that just improve the page's quality. Honorable mention is that he's done a lot of those edits, and has been on the wiki for a long time - not an argument in itself, but worth mentioning.

2019-03-15 2019-04-14 Pictogram plus.png  (Well, well, well. I've been looking into Vasya's contributions for a while now, and I do believe that the time for a nomination has finally come. Vasya's most beneficial and most contributed area was in creating images. He has a great knowledge on Half-Life Model Viewer, and knows what he is doing. He, what I believe, first started creating tons, tons of missing or outdated 3D images for the 3D Images Project, when I mean tons, I really mean it. He also has worked on a diverse array of first-person view pictures, and has ever since been uploading Paint Variant Table images that are missing, or require an update (the item in question got updated, or the current images on the Wiki doesn't meet some standards). You can see all his imagery work here, not only you'll notice how many he has uploaded, but how great they look too, there's quality on each and every item on that page. As in text form, he has contributed in a lot of pages and subpages, removing unnecessary tags from subpages, as well fixing typos, keeping things updated (on "Class weapons (competitive)" sections, for example), of course, he also made proper changes for his new 3D images as well, all done by himself. And, finally, he also does some edits across different languages as well, mostly fixing universal things. I believe this user should receive a Cap, and for me, he has all the privilege to wear one (if eventually he receives it), this guy is just amazing on what he does, his image contributions were really, really important for all this Wiki, especially how old and outdated things were before he joined us.)


Pictogram plus.png  (Vasya truly shines in the 3d imagery and painted cosmetic images, Vasya is respectful and updated the All-Father after I put a disclaimer that the Classic style images are outdated, he has immensely helped the Wiki with these and does deserve the cap in my opinion.)
Pictogram plus.png  [Vasya has done tons of useful painted variants (As is clearly visible in the IRC, when he spams the entire channel with his uploads). I see him spamming the channel with the new cosmetics whenever there's a new update that adds stuff. He was willing to help me with setting up HLMV for making images. He's always been friendly and helping me out if I ever needed help.]
Pictogram plus.png  (Well, I am not surprised he's here that fast. The amount of high quality painted pictures Vasya has done is ridiculous. Everything was outdated and most of the cosmetics didn't even have any painted pictures in the first place! Same with the 3D project, this was close to dead and he resurrected it and finished the job. I also want to thank him so much for the file uploader (even if Tark ported it over to python 3, cheers!). It have saved a ton of work when uploading a high amount of pictures. Like Grampa said, he's a very friendly person and helps if we got any questions.)
Pictogram plus.png  No idea why everyone is using parentheses... must be some new wiki craze I missed... well, anyways, my voice probably won't make or break a 4-0 vote, but I thought I'd show some support when its due. When collecting a bunch of information into a single place for everyone to read and enjoy, the visual aspect can't neither be ignored nor understated in its importance. Videos, pictures, templates and words all need to come together for the ultimate user friendly experience, but they are not all equally easy to pick up so now a days it's rare to see new users picking up the paint brush instead of the typewriter (me included, I was no better, lol), but when there is a lack in work force a few people will often step up to do the rest. Which brings us to today's user: VasyaTheMediaWizard. This guy was basically a rain cloud in the media drought the wiki had been suffering from for some time. I mean, his IRC spam was regular enough for him to make memes about it on his talk page. If that is not amazing enough then just look at this page - I honestly think it speaks for itself. So yeah, thank you, Vasya, for your amazing work and dedication, and I hope you'll stick with us after we have taped shiny, fake sparkles to your head.
Pictogram plus.png  I have hesitated commenting on Vasya's nomination only because I am unqualified to remark on Painted variants images. I have only ever looked at Painted variants once, to paint one of my hats. I patrol English only Recent Changes, which means unfortunately I really pretty much completely missed out on the massive body of Vasya's work. That said, it is clear that his images are impressing those that do know. it does touch me the reports of completing long-neglected image sectors. .... So, to what I can talk about: limited to English only Recent Changes, I have been pleased enough with Vasya's participation; in addition to the massive image content, Vasya (among others) contributes to the increased English language collaboration and is active, positive, and helpful. Never a problem. Always a pleasure.

2019-04-23 2019-08-24 Pictogram plus.png  Danio has been on the wiki since 2014, during this time he has made tons of edits to tons of /pl and English pages.

These edits include things like translating entire pages, minor corrections, updates to pages, etc. He has helped me with stuff relating to the wiki, and I have seen him help others too. He has a genuine interest in the wiki and improving it, this is supported by the fact that he's been here for very long and makes edits on a daily basis These are the reasons I believe he should get a wiki cap.
Pictogram plus.png  Danio has been consistent in his edits - both when it comes to their quality, and I can tell that; not to mention that he's in STS, so that quality is well, verified. Those edits vary from creating patch pages, fixing translation quality (which I can thank Danio for doing - helped me improve my own translations, honestly) and just maintenence work over the Polish wiki specifically. He does work outside that as well. He's been here for years and has done a lot of work, which, as Swood has said, shows that he's devoted to working on Wiki. I support him getting the hat.
Pictogram plus.png  To be honest, I'm quite surprised that he hasn't been nominated earlier. Danio has been here for a very long time, close to 4 or 5 years soon, I think? He has been doing tons, and I mean tons of translations and maintenance edits on the Polish Wiki. I can't confirm the quality of them myself as I don't speak Polish, but he is a member of the Steam Translation Server, meaning that his translations must be of high quality. Not only has he been working on the Polish pages, he has been doing tons of edits on our English pages aswell - adding information, patrolling recent changes, and some overall maintenance work. Although edit count is not a notable factor in here, it would be worth mentioning that he is, at the moment of writing this, 31st in the list of users with the most edits. Definitely a regular on the IRC, has a community-minded attitude, and is often seen helping out both new and old editors. I absolutely support him getting the shiny hat.
Pictogram plus.png  Yep. Huge amount of quality contribution! I appreciate the disciplined synchronization of pl/en work. When patrolling changes, I have long skipped Danio's edits, except when I want to learn something.
Pictogram plus.png  The amount of work Danio/Denied has done for the /pl part of the wiki these past years is amazing. Everything from fixing grammar to making pages, he has done this on and off for a long time now. Never stopped. I believe he deserve the cap. He's devoted and is also a STS member, which makes me believe his changes are in high quality - even if I can't understand a single word.

2019-08-27 2019-09-14 Pictogram plus.png  The Brazilian Portuguese side of the wiki has a high percentage of translation progress, and in recent times keeping this up has been in no small part due to BrazilianNut's efforts. Both translating pages for new additions or helping with the sempiternal task of updating the many old articles, they are a great assistance, with consistent translation and pretty impeccable grammar that I would say could be as good as STS level lately. Also taking into account that I've seen them in the wiki for a while (starting in early 2017), I strongly believe they should be our next Brazilian recipient of a cap.


Pictogram plus.png  Very good /pt-br lad, considering that I actually know the language this time, I can analyze it more, and BrazilianNut, in a Nutshell, does great translations for pages, making new translations for new cosmetics (all for Summer Pack 2019 and Scream Fortress 2018), making sure to keep pages updated (updating outdated pages, to reflect with changes on the English page), and he also does general changes to English pages (such as disambiguation/redirect pages). Overall, I think he should and is ready to receive his cap, his contributors has been as good as previous /pt-br editors from the past.
Pictogram plus.png  I won't be able to comment much here since their contributions are almost exclusively translations for a language that I don't speak, but as Gabrielwoj already said, they have done tons of consistent translations at large quantities. Haven't seen him around on IRC and I only patrol Recent Changes for English, Finnish, and Norwegian, so they are kind of like a ghost to me - a silent little ghost that flies around the Wiki, updating and adding translations all around the Brazilian Portugese parts :D

2019-08-27 2019-09-14 Pictogram plus.png  Thedop may not be active on the wiki itself, but he has made a total of 62 demonstrations now and is still making more. He has made around 10 or so thumbnails for demonstrations as well as a few translations for things. He has helped me personally with demonstrations, and without him I wouldn't have been able to do it. On top of this, he also runs the official channel for the wiki. He is not seen on the IRC, so his work goes mostly unseen by the average user. I believe he deserves the cap for these reasons.


Pictogram plus.png  Thedop has created lots of demonstration. Like really big ammount of them. All high quality. Despite all of this user isnt active on IRC so his work is most unseen. Even I didnt knew about him until someone (cough GrampaSwood) told me about him. I think he deserves cap for such an effort.
Pictogram plus.png  Thedop's main specialty or focus of his work is mainly images and demonstration videos. Those things not only require an extra effort, but also have to be of good quality, which they are and are daily added/uploaded onto TF2Wiki or its youtube channel. Other than that he has some work done in terms of translatins - mainly item pages and such, on which I cannot comment but may be good to note.
Pictogram plus.png  Thedop doesn't participate in the IRC channel, and as such, their contributions may at first go unnoticed to a lot of users. However, they have created tons of demonstration videos, added and updated French translations for new and old items alike (the quality of which I sadly can't assess), created a bunch of class gallery images, and quite a lot of painted variants. They started on the Wiki as early as 2012, so technically one could say that they have been here for close to 7 years, albeit with breaks in 2013 and 2016.

2019-08-27 2019-10-13 Pictogram plus.png  I kept an eye on this person for a while. He got wide range of contribution. Images, demonstrations, grammar fix, translation, you name it. Even through he has made minor mistakes here and there (We all do), but I think we cannot get someone who can contribute in a wide range like this nowadays. It's time for him to get what he deserved.


Pictogram plus.png  From monitoring recent changes to uploading needed images and even videos. GrampaSwood is contributing to the Wiki with his translations for /nl users, adding new and updating old informations for /en pages but also other languages. I believe his work deserves to be awarded.
Pictogram plus.png  When i first met him on IRC, I thought Swood was a moderator (no joking). GrampaSwood is one of most active wiki users, that helped me many times. Because of him I know how to properly use this page. Swood is also probably always monitoring recent changes and I know that for sure, because he is the person that undod my edits the most (sometimes I make stupid mistakes 😔). He also is currently the most (and only probably) valuable person that keeps /nl alive. Heck, he even makes stuff for english wiki too (some demonstrations, voice line page and ofc minor changes). Basically Swood is very helpfull guy that patrols wiki, keeps /nl alive, checks if bugs are possible to do and makes and fixes new pages on english wiki. I'm suprised that he hasnt been nominated before.
Pictogram plus.png  Swood's work is well, various. That is he takes up a lot of different tasks, some of which are - Translations, demonstrations (although that's a fairly new addition, and he just got his first one approved), small corrections, new addition to the pages or adding missing images. While I cannot speak for quality of translations (although he is in STS, which does make me trust in his ability to translate), I can speak for quality of his smaller additions or corrections as well as the image work he has done up to this point. He's been here since around a year or so with a history of more or less consistent editing, which is also a positive thing to note.
Pictogram plus.png  Very good editor that focuses on small edits, such as grammar, punctuation, consistency, add/removing "To-Dos" and others (not only for English pages, but for a variety of different languages). Also does translation to /nl pages. He's always checking the Recent Changes page, and whenever there is something new added, he makes sure to correct a few words or two, or in case of "invalid" contributions, he makes sure to revert those and explain to the user who added those on their talkpages. He's also an image creator and he has been ever since adding "First-Person View" images for a variety of weapons, such as Festivized and Australium weapons. He's also pretty nice and it's always willing to learn when he asks something for me.
Pictogram plus.png  A jack of all trades, I should say. Long-time Dutch translator, image creator (mostly first-person views and class galleries that I know of), weapon demonstration videos, minor corrections, testing bugs to see if they should be removed from Wiki pages, and much more. He definitely participates heavily in the Team Fortress Wiki community, is on IRC often and participates in talkpage discussions a lot. Monitors Recent Changes like a machine, beating me in reverting vandalism and spam edits, because my eastern bloc internet can't load the pages fast enough, hue. I can't comment on his translations much because I don't speak Dutch, but being in the Steam Translation Server is a sign that he knows what he's doing. Absolutely deserves the sparkling hat in my opinion.
Pictogram plus.png  Dear Swood answered all my questions enthusiastically(I believe he has helped many other people as well), and I can say this indirectly helped the translation of simplified Chinese a lot. Also, I always find his avatar when I watch demonstration videos recently. Although his account history isn't as long as many senior contributors, but I do believe it wouldn't be a matter to award someone who will make better and richer contributions for sure in the future.

2019-12-23 2020-01-31 Pictogram plus.png  Since I was starting the TF2 wiki a long time ago, I've never seen someone who has a very good skill at fix up the grammar before except for 123rse, and he also have a very good knowledge of typing Korean. Which is one word at a time is extremely careful and high quality. I'm still not very good at translating English to Korean which is 123rse always helps me getting out of that kinda trouble. He NEEDS wiki cap. I mean, He have to had one. He deserve it!

Pictogram plus.png  Besides being a very nice guy, rse does a LOT of translations, when I check IRC there's almost guaranteed to be something on the screen from rse. I sometimes also see him do consistency edits for other languages, and he even created an honorary Korean translator thing to reward non-Korean translators for helping with translations. Seeing Dydwk474's support for rse, it's safe to say that rse's translation quality is very good. So in the immortal words of Dydwk474, he deserve it!

Pictogram plus.png  I've seen rse do not only a MASSIVE amount of translation, but also create and fill in the missing pages, fix the ones already existing (the most notable ones are the Smissmass 2019 update notes) and more. Noticing the Dydwk474's and GrampaSwood's support for him, I have nothing more to say except: He deserves it!

Pictogram plus.png  I would like to mention 123rse as one of the active contributors to TF2Wiki. Although I don't understand Korean, but I can see that he does a lot of work in the field of page translation, also creates missing pages and corrects existing ones. Every time I go to IRC, I constantly notice some edits on the part of 123rse. Still, judging by Dydwk474's review, he does their work accurately and efficiently. So I think he really deserves it!

Pictogram plus.png  I’ve noticed rse is unapologetically active, making edits almost every single day. Similar to Mgpt, who is also a nominee at the time of me writing this, rse has contributed an abundance of translations to the Korean pages, and made substantial edits to English pages. Long story short, he deserve it!

2020-01-04 2020-03-17 Pictogram plus.png  Mgpt may have only been around for over a year now, but he is currently the only active PT translator, has been very active since April 2019, and his contributions are solid, be it translating articles (both old and new) to PT or updating/fixing existing ones. While he sticks to PT translations, he's also made some contributions to pages in other languages too, like adding new items to disambiguation pages and adding the creators of the Smissmas 2019 items to the dictionary.

Pictogram plus.png  I see Mgpt doing quite a bit of different work around the wiki, besides Portuguese translations. The most recent example being the contributors to the Smissmas 2019 cosmetic pages. His translation quality also doesn't seem like a problem, based on BrazilianNut's backing.

Pictogram plus.png  Mgpt is a very competent editor, who has contributed not only a bunch of translations to the Portuguese side of the wiki, but has also made significant contributions to English pages, including some pages I was actively working on at the time. He's also extremely active on the IRC channel and partakes in discussions.

Pictogram plus.png  For the past few months Mgpt has been doing a very much needed work updating the Lusitanian wiki. With my limited knowledge of European Portuguese, I'd say their translations look good and consistent. Not to mention they're a regular IRC user and a nice person. It's been a while since we've had any Iberian cap drop, so maybe we get a nice fado and pastel de belém party going and give Mgpt a deserved shiny hat \:)/

2019-08-27 2020-05-20 Pictogram plus.png  From time to time, I keep watching the Recent Changes, and I'd always see this guy contributing a lot. He has been updating multiple pages from multiple languages to support the "View listings on the Steam Community Market" button, he also updates /zh-hans that are outdated, and has been seen also translating complete pages for /zh-hans, namely the new 2019 cosmetics. He's also been helping new Chinese translators too. I think he is ready to receive his cap, due to how much he has been working, and how consistently his work has been.

Pictogram plus.png  Dereko has been contributing greatly to the Chinese part of the Wiki. They have translated a lot of pages to /zh-hans, and have kept many old translations up to date, with some of their biggest translations being 军团要塞2/Team Fortress 2 and 火焰兵幻境. They have also been doing maintenance edits (such as marking items as being marketable) across all languages, and have helped out many other Chinese translators on the Wiki. Over 250 Chinese pages are being kept up to date by them (check the userpage for a list). They also participate on discussions in talkpages and on the IRC channel.

Pictogram plus.png  After look in his/her recent contributions, I saw more bigger and solid stuffs such as translation update in templates and pages. He/She outcome my doubt about him/her and like I said earlier that if I see more solid works I'll support, and here it is.

Pictogram plus.png  Dereko seems like a very solid editor. Dereko made lots of edits (many solid ones) on chinese wiki. User also makes many technical changes to many pages in all languages. Also Dereko is quite active on #tfwiki IRC channel.

Pictogram plus.png  I’ve taken the past few days to observe this user’s editing, and I’ve noticed they’re quite active in the IRC channel. After seeing their massive amount of contributions, I can safely say they’re deserving of a Wiki Cap. Obviously, the work being done with Chinese translation is the biggest factor here, but I’ve also noticed they have been contributing to English pages of newly added game content, which is honestly amazing considering how recently it was added.

Pictogram plus.png  Not only does Dereko translate, but he also posts a ton on the zh-hans message board helping out new translators, bringing in new translators, and translates comics to name a few. I see so many translations that this could be his job and I wouldn't be surprised at all. I've seen him do other non-zh-hans stuff like marketable=yes. I think, for these reasons, that he deserves the cap. And he's also super nice

Pictogram plus.png  Hello, Valve employees. I ’m using Google Translate, and I'm not a Wiki editor, and I ’m not sure if I have permission to express my support here. If I violate something, please read them before deleting me. The default language I use is Traditional Chinese. However, I will now switch to Simplified Chinese to see some pages. This would not happen two years ago, because most Simplified Chinese pages are outdated at that time, and some were copied from Traditional Chinese pages. I can guess this is not Dereko's own effort, but he definitely did a lot. He uploads comic translation works to a Chinese website, Bilibili, and he always leave wiki links, and some small notes in the comics have solved some cultural understanding problems for me. According to what he said in the QQ group, he also taught others to join TFwiki. In addition, when I play with new players I brought and meet him on the server, I saw he sent advertisements of TFwiki in the chat every round like a LMAOBOX, and my friends know the wiki in their first day of TF2. I used to think he must have a wiki cap, but he said no, and I found him nominated here since last year. In his advertisement, he asked us to support TFwiki, but did not tell us how to support TFwiki, but I know how to support him here.

Pictogram plus.png  @Wiki supporter: The staff aren't Valve employees. Onwards. Dereko is like a machine and does all sorts of trivial edits that not many others would do. I would almost think he was using a wiki bot for some of his sprees but as a user who frequently abuses new tabs to make massive amounts of similar edits to similar pages and submit them in one chunk I can understand that he may also use this technique. I'm confused as to why Dereko speaks in the third person but it makes me laugh and he seems like a good dude.

2020-08-22 2020-10-04 Pictogram plus.png  FanCyy made a great ammount of valuable, big and varied contributions to russian wiki. Starting from translating entire big pages, through helping other people with creating video demonstration, all the way to translating TF comics to russian. FanCyy meets all requirements for me. FanCyy himself is also a very friendly person who helps ppl if asked to.

Pictogram plus.png  As Fiato said, FanCyy has been an active Russian editor who contributes in various fields on the Wiki. Among all of his contributions, what inspired me most are the 270+ pages Russian translation for The Naked and the Dead/ru. Also, FanCyy made his efforts on updating outdated translation pages and templates (for example, unusual/ru and its templates) as well, which Dereko would speak highly of. I am convinced that he will be more and more helpful, not only in the Russian translation, but also in our future cooperation.

Pictogram plus.png  I could've sworn this guy already had a cap. Makes sense, considering he does basically everything cap holders normally do and more. Constantly provides translations, even to pages and templates I create. I've also noticed he's done a bit of English editing too, which is much appreciated. Every time I check, I see his name near the top of the recent changes page. This dude's always doing something.

Pictogram plus.png  FanCyy's contribution are various - from cosmetic pages to translating entire comics and medium-sized articles or just doing simple maintenance/updating on articles that were in need of it. I cannot speak much for their quality, but fact is that those edits are diverse and there are many of them, to have had made a difference on russian part of the wiki. As for him as a person - nice and helpful, not much there to add.

Pictogram plus.png  I've been looking at FanCyy's contributions lately and I have to say that it amazes me the incredible work he has done to the russian wiki in such a short time. Translating a whole comic (one of his most valuables contributions) speaks for itself, you have to be an excellent translator to do that, which is not an easy task. He's constantly creating and updating articles, such as cosmetic pages, patches, weapons, etc. FanCyy is a really valuable contributor to this community, a very active one and it shows that he cares about the game, the community and of course the wiki.

2020-12-21 2021-01-12 Pictogram plus.png  What can I say about this guy? Well, he has been doing image variants, infobox images, as well class gallery images, for a TON of cosmetics. He has also done a lot of Tournament Medal infobox/class gallery pictures, things that has been missing for months, even years. He also makes sure to update pages to include/remove "paintable" and other variables on the infobox, adding Jigglebone categories, updating disambiguation pages, removing {{needimage}} from other pages after the English one was removed. He also uploaded a few Steam Workshop thumbnails. I have composed a big table listing all his contributions related to image-work on the Wiki, which I'll be leaving at the end of my vote. I think Seederat has worked a lot ever since he has joined, he has done ton of work, and not only that, all of his work are high quality. He tries to use a fitting pose on all of his infobox/class-gallery images, he almost never, ever, repeats the same pose twice, and he makes sure that the poses aren't too wide either, he really has mastered on how to work on HLMV, as well selecting the most optimal pose, camera angle, and facial flexes.
Note: The table is ordered from the oldest submissions to the newest. You will see a lot of reds and yellows on the oldest items because these were images already done years ago by other users on the Wiki, but Seederat has improved them, therefore, he may not have worked through all the sections.
Note: The table, as well its contents, was composed and curated from December 20, 2020 through December 21, 2020. The user may upload more images after this nomination has been made.
Color legend: Yes (100%) - Did all images for the section. No (0%) - Did none of the images for the section. In-between (Any%) - Did some part of the images for the section.
Empty - The item does not have the section in question on the article.

Mouseover on In, Cl and P. to know what each abbreviation stands for.
Item names with a green colored background means that Seederat has done all available sections completely.
"TM" stands for Tournament Medal.

Pictogram plus.png  seedrat's helped me out with some things i've wanted done for a long time, and for that alone i think he's deserving of a cap - he really goes above and beyond with taking initiative, something you don't see here a lot these days. all the hlmv stuff for the new cosmetics is great work.
Pictogram plus.png  Seederat is a prime star in the next generation of dedicated, hard-working image contributors, which tend to come and go, but are always extremely useful to have around. His images are very high quality, and I can always count on him -- not just for routine cosmetic images as the updates come in, which have been maintained by his work for more than a few whole cosmetic cases at this stage, but also to help me for special projects, like when I wanted to revamp the Madness vs. Machines medal images so the incoming Gilded Giver medal could have matching paint variants, or tournament medal class galleries, which were long-since neglected before his dedication to the project. The man is more than deserving of a reward for his efforts.

2021-06-23 2021-08-23 Pictogram plus.png  I want to nominate Ashe for its constant contributions, updating and translating long articles into Spanish, also started using and adopting translation resources that we use in the STS, like the Hispanic quotation marks. In the international spectre, he also contributed with some templates, adding dictionary strings to automatize the translation of terms like «seconds», to avoid the irregularities between languages. For this, among other reasons, I want this Ibero-American member to receive his Wiki Cap, for his great collaboration with the Team Fortress Wiki and particularly with the Spanish speaker community.

Pictogram plus.png  Despite my limited interaction with Ashe, I would like to support them for constantly uploading multiple high quality weapon demonstrations, as well as patrolling recent changes and reverting bad edits.
Pictogram plus.png  Ashe has been editing the Wiki consistently for the past nine months straight, always contributing majorly to Spanish translations, reverting vandalism, giving advice to newcomers, participating in talk page discussions, talking on the IRC, and even making a few weapon demonstrations (and is currently working on the herculean task that is the Projectile Shield demonstration video). A very well-rounded wiki editor, and shows much promise.
Pictogram plus.png  Ashe is an active member with numerous, solid contributions, be them updating, correcting, and improving articles both old and new, be them explaining things to newcomers. He works professionally and, for that, deserves a Wiki Cap.

STS review unavailable.
Tekinz Gabrielwoj 2021-08-30 2021-10-26 Pictogram plus.png  Tekinz is a great image contributor that has been both improving and making new images to the Wiki for quite a while. His images are in extraordinary quality, his facial flexing is great, and he is always cautious with his images (for instance, I don't recall seeing a single image uploaded by him that was too wide... wide images appears too small on the Gallery section of pages, this is how cautious he is!).

Not only his images are incredible, he always state the changes made to the images before uploading, never leaving it blank (and for paint variant images, he mention the changes on ALL paints, not just one, which is important as well). He also always license and categorize his uploads correctly. You can see these things on his Special:ListFiles/Tekinz page.

He also always make sure to note his rot, trans and lightrot (values used in HLMV), to later include on the Rotations page. So if anytime the item in question is updated (either new models or materials), or a new Paint Can is introduced to the game, there will be no need to re-do all images again, since these values are essential to have the same angle and positions used on his Paint Variants.

He also updates non-English pages whenever it needs to include extra templates or remove old {{improveimage}} or {{needimage}} notices.

He also worked on the not-so-popular Tournament Medal pages, and include previews for a lot of placement medals, being worn by each class. Sure, his poses/facial flexing are all the same on these class images for each placement medal, but I think that's okay, considering the absurd amount of Tournament Medals we have in-game. Before he started doing these Tournament Medal images, there were already several pages on the Wiki that followed the same format (same poses and facial flexing for each placement medal), he just followed what was already being made.

Here is a compact and convenient table including all of his image-related work done to the Wiki so far (mouse-over the text with a dotted underline for information for each section, as well what "contributions" were made on the "Multiple" and "Tournament Medal" sections) [these tables were orgnanized by time, by oldest to newest, ordering is followed by each column, so for instance, Sole Saviors contributions were made before Telefragger Toque's]:

Please keep in mind that this list was compiled from 08/29 to 08/30, Tekinz may contribute in making more images since this nomination was written.

This man truly deserves it. I think it's time for him to tekinz his cap with him.

2022-01-01 2022-05-22 Pictogram plus.png  I contend that our wiki once again recognizes Joeun's exceptional performance. The 300+ pages that Joeun translated are consistently outstanding, so much so that he could be a member of STS. I assure you that he has always made every effort to provide the best quality translations for Korean readers. He had excelled in that role for the past two years; he even translated more pages and made more edits than me with good condition.

The reason his last nomination was canceled was that he sometimes made minor editing errors. I know this man. He cares a lot about the opinions that he pointed out. After his cancellation, he struggled to not make any remarkable mistakes.

Shouldn't we, by giving another chance that defines the value of the Wiki cap, show this man who we are?

Who we are? Is that not the most fairest process we have on this wiki? Or will we stand by the last verdict of him less resolutely than we stood by the one we used to have?

He will definitely be instrumental in the expansion and revision of translating wiki pages into Korean. I'm delighted to say that he's staying with the Korean team and I look forward to his continued contributions.


Pictogram plus.png  As a big fan of Soldier, I had always dreamt of the perfectly translated page of the "Tribute to Rick May". But "Tribute to Rick May" korean page was poorly translated. I couldn't had stood it, especially the voice line part. Unluckly, lack of my experience on this Wiki and my english, It was impossible to finish. But every korean can appreciate the page in perfect condition now. You know why? simple: there was Joeun! This is the reason why I back him up. He helped and colaborate other editors like me, while he made so many pages. Now his contribution is instrumental on this wiki. I assure that the last 2 years - for me it just 1 year - with Joeun is the a great time of this wiki for me and korean wiki users. So, staff members of this wiki, please give him a cap.


Pictogram plus.png  Joeun is most active person of Korean language. He not only translate new articles but also updates a lot of old articles and corrects grammar errors by other people. He also helps new members who needs help. I got helped by Joeun, of course. this guy took care of Wiki very well as a Korean Wiki Ranger!

Has been nominated once before.

TheRilonh Foxbite
FanCyy
Radist
2022-06-06 2022-09-10 Pictogram plus.png  Note: This user got himself on this list for the first time roughly 3 years ago. All points presented then stand and his contribution to /ru became even more substational since, though he wasn't much active past 2020.

To sum up, his translations are well-written and span over a wide range, сovering stuff frequently overlooked or at times neglected, like unused and community-made content, community events, strategy guides, character responses and localization of site templates. Additionally, he's been helpful on the community side, setting new editors straight.

Personally, I want to put an utmost emphasis on the quality of his work -- in my eyes, for a /ru member, Rilonh is definitely someone to look up to. It is hard for me to provide proper substance, but I (and leading users of the "bygone" community, like Radist) can surely attest to that personally. In pratice, I can be confident in my own work when relying on examples and standards set and maintained by him.

Pictogram plus.png  Knew this lad for quite a long time now and always wondered why doesn't he have a wiki cap. Could agree with stuff Foxbite said, furthermore TheRilonh was always friendly to me, remember all those times i seeked his advice when making my own edits. Even tho there were pauses in his edit streaks i think all the efforts they put into wiki should finally be taken into consideration and awarded respectively.

Pictogram plus.png  It's my fault that I did not support the previous nomination. Sorry about that.... I was very happy when I heard about this new nomination, and I hope that the result will be positive. I have always liked his translations because they are very accurate and enjoyable to read. Really high-quality translations. When the next update was released, I always knew for sure that they would be translated correctly and quickly. He translated most of the Russian pages (many type of pages, like patches, pages of weapons, maps...) and every translation by him has no mistakes. I'm pretty sure that every Russian reader would appreciate to read his translated articles and I would really like him to finally get a Wiki Cap, because he really deserved it.

Yossef Ryo
Epsilonal
2022-12-08 2023-03-18 Pictogram plus.png  I nominate Yossef for its valuable and constant contribution to the Wiki. Not only on the Spanish articles, where he works hard, but his lot of editions in other language articles to update them and fix some errors in all translations of each article, not only in our language version, keeping consistency between articles in all languages. I want to highlight also his outstanding work by updating and translating long articles into Spanish, as making the most of new articles for updates and items during the last year. Also he started to use translation resources from Crowdin to keep all the information identical to the game, bringing first quality translations and using translation modism from Spanish translation team, like the Hispanic quotation marks. Maybe his work is unnoticed for some users, but he makes great one of the most spoken communities of the Wiki and for this, among many other reasons, I want to nominate this Hispanic-American member to receive his Wiki Cap, for his great collaboration with the Team Fortress Wiki and particularly with the Spanish speaker community.

Pictogram plus.png  I'd like to concur with everything Ryo mentioned above - I myself have seen Yossef contributing countless translations, corrections and updates in a very detailed-oriented manner. He's an important contributor to the translation efforts of many languages, ensuring a high degree of consistency is maintained between the (many) different translations of the same article. It's important to note that his hard work on many of the small details around the wiki hasn't precluded him from making contributions that are much larger in scale, translating numerous pages in full over the past year - helping to maintain a key resource for one of the largest language communities on the Wiki. However, I'd like to turn away from the editing side of things for a moment, and talk about his wider engagement with the site as a whole.

The TF2 Wiki has been struggling with a lack of staff members for a while now, and I think Yossef's efforts (especially monitoring the recent changes queue) should definitely be noted. However, in my view, an even more important aspect than the lack of staff has been a lack of editors - as a newer editor myself, I think I'm somewhat well placed to comment on this in particular. Yossef has taken an active role in outreach with newer editors, giving helpful and constructive feedback via discussion pages, IRC, and even chatting over Steam. Efforts like these are what keeps editor retention much higher, and without people making efforts like these I think it's likely that the Wiki would be in a much more dire situation these days. His clear dedication to improving the quality of the Wiki, outreach with various facets of the community, and active engagement in numerous discussions (most recently, the discussion on Wiki Cap nominations themselves) leads me to believe that he's well deserving of the privilege.

Andrew360 Gabrielwoj
Akolyth
2023-08-01 2023-08-24 Pictogram plus.png  So, Andrew360, also known as Asomn. An image contributor that has been contributing to the Wiki since 2021. I've been looking at this individual's contributors for a while now, and, I think now it's the perfect time to nominate him. Since then, he has improved a lot in the whole process of creating images for the Wiki, be that for regular images as well painted variants of cosmetics.

Not only he focuses on creating imagery for newly released cosmetics, he also makes sure to improve old ones on the Wiki. This is something very uncommon on the Wiki and it's highly appreciated. Andrew is someone who, during the downtime of the lack of content packs / updates for TF2, makes sure to update and remake old images found throughout the Wiki to be in better quality.

Their contributions is incredibly varied too, ranging from remaking painted variants, images for the infobox and class galleries, as well for some more unknown parts of the Wiki such as images for the Team Fortress Classic and Quake Team Fortress. Even more unknown articles such as Communication has an image made by them.

Their image creation are always in line and consistent with the rest of imagery on the Wiki. Lighting on player models are on point, the angle and camera panning is on point, anti-aliasing is perfect, high-quality textures, everything is fine and dandy how it should be. He got a good grasp on how previous image creators have made images in the past. And, in the rare cases an image may end up not being the most ideal, he makes sure to remake it with a better improved version, something which is okay in my opinion that even happens with me from time to time. Let's appreciate their dedication in making the best quality image possible, even if it means uploading again.

When working on Painted Variants, Andrew makes sure to save the rot and Trans values used for it on the Rotations page, so it can be easily remade in the future in case the item in question gets texture / model change, or if a new Paint Can is introduced (which hasn't happened in a while, but can happen).

For instance, in the Wiki as a whole, some older painted variants were made when the After Eight and Mann's Mint Paint Cans weren't in the game yet, and in the cases these didn't had the values saved on the Rotations page, these 2 variants would look off with the rest of the ones in the table once these Paint Cans were added. Be that for wrong lighting, different angles, inconsistent image width/height, and so on. With Andrew's cooperation in making sure every painted variants they have done in the past has its values properly saved and archived, it means that, if for some reason there are new Paint Cans added to the game, there will be no need to remake the entire paint variant chart to include just the new ones due to the lack of values.

Aditionally, if a page required editing to include new tabs for painted variants (such as the inclusion of more classes like the Exorcizor page), requiring fixing of a filename, and / or had a improveimage / needimage notice, he makes sure to edit all language pages and not just the English one.

Alongside in creating images, Andrew has created some Taunt Demonstrations that got accepted to the Official TF2Wiki Youtube channel. They are as follows:

Bare Knuckle Beatdown
(Talk page on TFWTalk:Weapon Demonstration)
Shooter's Stakeout
(Talk Page on TFWTalk:Weapon Demonstration)
Scaredy-cat!
(Talk page on TFWTalk:Weapon Demonstration)

Additionally, the April Fools Taunt Demonstration for the Corolla Corral was also created by Andrew360
(Post regarding it on Ashe's Talkpage)

To continue a tradition I have been doing since my last two nominations, below is a table with all Andrew360's image work since he started editing the Wiki. Mouse-over the text with a dotted underline for information for each section, as well what "contributions" were made on the "Multiple" section, and specifics for the "All / Everything" section. The tables have been organized by time, from oldest to newest.

As you can see, Andrew360 has made many many pictures over the 2 years that he has actively contributing on the Wiki. I think the time has arrived for this gentleman to receive their dapper Wiki Cap.

Pictogram plus.png  I've been procrastinating giving a YES vote on this, because I wanted to add something more than the magnanimous eulogy Gabrielwoj wrote. It's a litany of Andrew being a truly humble and hard-working user in this wiki and I wish I could have half of his consistence getting into the nitty-gritty work of what must be done with image renders, formatting, etc. It reminds me much of the jobs taken for granted in IRL like sanitation, power plants, infrastructure, and all that keeps things running. Skimming his uploads alone leaves one impressed by such professionalism for such an old yet beloved game that shines to this day. He's proven he would be a needed employee at Valve, really. And by that metric, I abide by Gabriel's reasons above and say he needs the Cap to paint as green as his hats and he makes the Recent Changes log. Terminus est. (or just the beginning?) Clank the gavel! 🧑‍⚖️

Andrew360
2023-11-09 2024-01-09 Pictogram plus.png  Well well, if ain't my man H20verdrive. Both H20veridve and Andrew360 started contributing to the Wiki around the same time, and both users contributed significantly to the image creation side of the Wiki. Originally, I was going to nominate both Andrew and H20 at the same time, but, I thought H20's time wasn't ready yet... well, until today, that is.

H20 is a very talented image creator. I always enjoyed his poses and facial flexing that he has done for cosmetic items. He strives to make unique poses and facial flexing for each cosmetic image, and in some cases, they even fit around the theme of the cosmetic that is being shown. Not to mention that he makes sure to keep everything in check (stock weapons, proper lighting, everything!). If there was a mistake, or if an image didn't look as good as he thought, he makes sure to go back and fix it as well!

He has also made several Painted Variants for several items, keeping it consistent and nice looking compared to existing painted variants around the Wiki. His commitment has been shown to everyone during Scream Fortress 2023. Yet again, we got a lot amazing creations by him, and pure dedication to make sure no image is left behind. He has done so much in this update alone, ranging from Infobox images as well an abundance of painted variants (even for cosmetics with several styles), and this is not counting every other contribution he has made ever since starting contributing to the Wiki, and probably after this update as well.

Once he ends a batch of Painted Variants, he makes sure to remove all "needimage" tags on pages, including sub-pages (language pages that aren't the English one), as well making sure to add the Rotation values to Template:Painted variants/Tutorial/Rotations, making it easy to keep consistency with his paint variants if for some reason we get new Paint Cans added to the game, as it would require new images to be created.

So, to keep a tradition, I made a list of everything that H20 has made over the years. It also includes an extra table for potato.tf / Moonlight MVM painted variants. H20 worked in a lot of paint variants for these community MVM events, and I needed to make sure to show how important these are with how many pages these are included with.

Outside his image creations, he is also a very nice and respectful guy whenever I talked with him. So yeah. It's time for H20 to receive his Wiki Cap, because he deserves it, a lot.

Pictogram plus.png  H20verdrive is an amazingly consistent contributor, as Gabrielwoj's table demonstrates. He often does the images for the newest cosmetics soon after they come out, with consistency and image quality at the forefront of his mind; even redoing the images when the cosmetics' models update in later patches, to ensure that the Wiki displays the most recent models for each paint table.

On a personal note, he's collaborated with me on the articles for community Mann vs. Machine operations extremely often, creating all the necessary images for newer medals added to the game each time, (and often redoing older paint tables, for the sake of display consistency,) to make the articles look their best while they were still in my Sandbox, so they could be pushed to the mainspace already set to go, when the operations launched. He's been an invaluable help to my upkeep of those articles, and I can certainly vouch for the quality of his work.

Pictogram plus.png  H20verdrive has made many wonderful images over the years, all of them with very nice looking posing, facial flexing, and with the best quality settings. Some of my favorites of his are the Victorian Villainy image, the Lavish Labwear image, the Audio File image, and the the Elf-Made Bandanna image just to name a few.

Alongside his cosmetic preview images, he has made many painted variant images. All of which use the correct material files to hide certain parts of the class, have good looking and consistent rotations (the camera view), and he makes sure to enter all of the 'rot' and 'trans' values in the painted variants template to make sure if the cosmetic is updated then the painted variants can be remade easily.

As also shown in Gabrielwoj's huge table of images he's made, it's time for H20 to finally wear his own shiny Wiki Cap.

Pictogram plus.png  It's great to witness the commencement of Guest's Wikicap nomination.
In addition to what Profiteer has mentioned, Guest takes an active part in connecting the TF2 schinese community to the Wiki. Before I entered the Wiki, he is responsible for delivering the latest update info to all the schinese players in "QQ channel", and fixing the Wiki-related issues reported by them.
Well, I don't have anything else to say as Profiteer has covered Guest's contributions more comprehensively.

2011-08-22 2011-09-11 ● Been a big help on finishing off the painted images recently, seems to do a lot of work on the Wiki's images and he's been a long-time contributor.
Does great work to fix what needs to be done, instead of adding in new problems. Really great contributor.
Mr. Magoolachub (Chub) has demonstrated a strong desire to forward the efforts of the Wiki project through his involvement in fixing the Wiki Cap gallery, helping round-off the painted item preview galleries, and uploading fixed and generally better versions of existing images. Chub has also shown a strong desire to tackle new challenges as they face him, helping pioneer the 3D item image preview work with Moussekateer; his willingness to help others learn the Source SDK, with particular focus on modelling, has earned him the status, at least in my opinion, of a valuable Wiki contributor. As arbitrary as this may sound, I feel that others also share in my assessment of him. I wish Chub the best of luck in obtaining the coveted, and apparently cursed, Wiki Cap.

2011-08-28 2011-09-25 ● Always has the best interest of the wiki in mind.
● Can pretty much always be found in the IRC
● Amazing artist, always putting working to galleries and images.
● Special kudos for being the one to finally pull the Wiki Cap gallery together.
Very active on the irc, very friendly, and does great HLMV work for hat and gallery pages.
● Fantastic Artwork and uses the IRC Channel on a regular basis.
Evaldas has consistently uploaded high quality images for the Wiki, fixing old images and even taking user requests or 'gifting' well-posed images for user articles. While lacking what many would consider 'traditional' edits in the form of article writing or fixing, Evaldas has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Wiki project and is an easily approachable and friendly character, willing to help others learn the intricacies of Valve's broken tools. I would be proud to have him represent the Wiki via a Cap.
Helps out a lot around the wiki, helped me with several problems I was having with HLMV and is just generally an all around nice person.

T-Wayne shows much interest and much determination to both finish and better the german wiki, being one of the only 3 editors in the language he has done many great jobs and gotten many pages for the wiki done. T-Wayne also displays his desire to mix with the community by getting involved in chats and being a regular on the irc. Overall T-Wayne has always displayed a positive attitude and has always jumped to any job he is offered.
● Has been of help quite some times on the IRC channel when i was in need of more details about how a certain page or template should get treated.
● As far as I can tell he's done a great job so far on the German wiki pages, and I have seen him very often on the IRC. He often participates in wiki activities, and is very active in the wiki. Once I got scammed and he replaced my lost item, which was incredibly nice of him. He is very determined to help the wiki anyway he can, and for that I would be proud to have him represent the wiki with a cap.

2011-10-13 2011-10-30 RagnarHomsar (henceforth Ragnar due to my laziness) signed up for the wiki in November 2010, has been an active contributor from the 11th of August 2011 and since then has only become an increasingly excellent contributor. I believe Ragnar should be awarded a Wiki Cap primarily for two reasons, the first of which being his demonstrated ability to contribute to a very high standard in multiple areas of the wiki. For example, take his edit on the Community Engineer strategy page, that by itself is a huge edit. He saw that it was marked for cleanup, and I'll be damned if he didn't go through and clean up nearly that whole damn thing. He didn't just do a little and leave the rest, he slogged through the whole article and did a thoroughly good cleanup.

Take a gander at one of his many fine images, as an editor who works primarily with images myself I have personal experience with the amount of care Ragnar will put in to each and every image he takes, Ragnar is not the type of person to go "oh, well that looks good enough I guess" and then leave it at that. On countless occasions Ragnar has asked for public opinions on his images over IRC to check that he hasn't left any corner unturned, and will often lament over clipping issues, he won't just accept that it clips horrifically and take the picture anyway, he will do the best he can to change the pose or edit the image so that the clipping issue can be improved. As a result, the images he uploads to the wiki are of a very high quality.

Ragnar, as well as being very active on the IRC and easy to talk to, will often contribute to discussions on the wiki, demonstrating his desire to improve the wiki and ability to work as a group with the rest of the wiki, here's a topic that he started for example (and got a positive reaction to).

Ragnar, while not participating in the weapons portion of the 3D models project, has been active in the testing of the hats portion and I can only assume will be doing 3D hats along with the rest of the 3D models team once the last few issues with the scripts are worked out. He has also had some involvement with the Tips Revision/Suggestions project, as well as some involvement with other projects.

The second reason I believe Ragnar should be awarded a cap is his noticeable improvement over time, highlighting his commitment and dedication to being an excellent contributor. To highlight my point, compare this image, one of the first he uploaded, to this one, a newer image and a personal favourite of mine. The first image has some noticeable issues, the reflective putty face, some less than amazing cutting and a kinda weird facial flex (please don't hurt me scout), some of his other early images have other quality issues (cropping, transparency etc, might want to have a look at some of your older stuff Ragnar :P). When compared to the newer image, it just blows the old images out of the water. The lighting is perfect, the pose is visually interesting, the facial flex is done nicely, the angle is amazing and the hat is shown off beautifully, much like most all of his recent images. Over time Ragnar has only become a better and better contributor and this is reflected in his edits.

For these two primary reasons (as well as some smaller ones, like his willingness to go the extra mile) I believe that Ragnar should be considered for a Wiki Cap, and I sincerely hope he receives one.

RagnarHomsar has been basically a god of photography ever since he signed up in October. His work has always been top-of-the-line and that Engineer strategy page he almost completely redid was a gigantic edit and was very beneficial to the state of the wiki. I would be honored to have Ragnar represent the wiki with a Cap.

Takes amazing images and always works hard to keep the quality of those images very high. His poses are very expressive and fun, and lead to a very pretty looking wiki. He also was a major contributor the tip revision project, even if that never quite took off as intended. Ragnar is an long time contributor to the Wiki and I believe he deserves a Wiki Cap.

RagnarHomsar is not JUST a god of photography, as stated above. He is also a kindly person who participates in the IRC and UGC Tournament well, and helps other people customize their userpages by making pictures for them; I've got at least four myself. He also helped remove quite a bit of useless junk on the community strategy pages; his Engineer and Medic ones are particularly noteworthy. The 3D Images he worked on are also particularly useful to the Wiki, and he shows that he's quite fun enough to work with.

2011-10-13 2011-10-30 Fyahweather has a count on over 1700 edits and has been on the Wiki for over a year and a month. He has been greeting several users and beeing a positive user, a important Wiki Trivia Executioner, disabled alot of red links, focusing on correct linking on several articles, grammar fixings and more. He have been seen on the IRC sometimes and when he is talking, he spreads joy and can be a real great person to talk to about almost everything. He leaves a couple of messages to users who have recent entered the Wiki or just to inform others about stuff.

This is a true cooperative user and has a burning desire to maintain balance in the Wiki.
Holy shit you are telling me Fyahweather DOESN'T have a Wiki Cap? I've seen this guy everywhere, he's always chipping in to discussions and doing important work and god DAMN has he been doing it for a long time. The only reason I haven't nominated Fyahweather is because I thought he had the darn thing.

As soon as I met Fyahweather I could tell what a friendly, nice, and slightly insane person he was. Great editor, contributes nice and frequently, with good edits. Like I said, great within the community. I dare a single user to find a reason why this awesome slice of person should not have the Wiki Cap.

I literally have not seen ONE bad edit or change from Fyahweather. He's damned near always in the IRC, he's always helpful to those who need it, and he's probably the first person I've met on the Internet who's asked me to do something politely. He's also pointed out things that need some changing around that I've missed (lack of set images over on the Item set page, along with set images that needed massive reworking), and also deserves the title of Trivia Executioner, along with a Wiki Cap.

The man is a bad trivia killing machine. Maybe that means HE'S A ROBOT! Or he's just very good at what he does. But yeah, Fyah's a frequent contributor who does good editing work on the Wiki. He's deserving of his nomination and a cap.

2011-10-27 2011-11-13 Reason for nomination: Added a lot of german new pages, and made also a lot of other edits. Stole my userpage, still a good contributor to the german wiki. Doesn't stick with other guys much, as far as a single person can tell, but i guess someone could nominate or vote with me for him.

Reason for nomination: German pages, and has helped me to better-read this wiki.

2011-11-25 2011-12-04 Always one of the first to translate missing/new articles into german. Made an excellent job on translating tons of maps into german (and we all know how painful translating maps is). Thanks to him we have 100% of the official maps translated. Is familiar with the "complicated" stuff like the dictionary template etc. Arranges and works cooperative with the other german contributors. Overall, made over 900 edits with a high quality and above average new pages.

He is a very very very very good contributor to the german wiki.He helps new people (like me), to learn the important tricks and other stuff from the wiki, and has overall a good view of important and unimportant articles which needs to be translated. I'm ashamed to say that but he is most of the times the first guy who translates for the german wiki, and has a good way of translating the english articles. My last reason is a mere statemet: We are a few but we are good, i don't want to say that we have only 10 active translator, but we have only, picard, sackzement, t-wayne, and thedoctor. That's not a reason but a consideration to you guys about what he does and all of us, we have a lot of viewer but not so much translator. He would have voted for Obama: Change!!! Hope!!
I believe T-Wayne deserves the cap due to his many contributions to the slowly progressing but highly demanded german section of the wiki.

Overall T-Wayne has always displayed a positive attitude and has always jumped to any job he is offered.
Hard worker, participates greatly in community (IRC, Highlander, etc.) and being badass.

2011-11-26 2011-12-04 There is a lot I can say about Evaldas. So I'll start from the beginning. Evaldas is an excellent contributor this grand base of TF2-based knowledge. Although he doesn't contribute in the most traditional way, one doesn't have to go far to see what he has done for this Wiki, visually speaking. While he has come under some controversy regarding uploading images that didn't need replacing, one cannot say that his quality of work isn't far better than most and doesn't deserve to be showcased on all pages, thus, in my opinion, making the previous point moot. Secondly, Evaldas is undeniably a wonderful person. He is constantly smiling, at least virtually, and is always a pleasure to speak to. He is constantly seen on the IRC and is a calm approachable person; should one have any questions regarding his area of professions (that being HLMV, Source SDK and Images). Truly, if one is deserving of a Wiki Cap it is unequivocally Evaldas himself, not only for his appetence and strong work ethic toward improving the Wiki, in his own ways, but also for being the kind and generous person we all know and love.

Seconding that I don't think my previous complaint about image replacement should be in any way held against Evaldas. Like I said before, he makes great images for the wiki at a consistently high standard and is also a very nice person, that's what he should be judged on.
Same as before. My reason can be found in the archive of past nominations (below).
Just take a look at Evaldas's contributions. He's uploaded a huge amount of really great images for the Wiki, and spent a lot of time adding them to their respective pages. It takes a certain type of person to have not just the patience, but also the artistic talent to take pictures like this, this and this. Evaldas is also a genuinely great character, and has helped several users - including me - with many aspects of imaging, from getting Source SDK installed, to fixing minor glitches with imaging software. He's helpful, friendly, and a high quality contributor. What more can you ask for?
Evaldas is not your average image creator. He's also one of the kindest editors I've met, always cheerful and willing to oblige. He participates heavily on the IRC, giving everyone compliments and pats on the back. His images are very high quality at a very consistent level. I find that Evaldas' work towards the Wiki has been very beneficial and nominate him to the pinnacle of wikidom.
He does some of the best images I've seen, he's always working hard to improve the existing wiki content, and is also a really nice guy, always worrying about others and trying to help and cheer them up. He even helped me learn how wiki code works when I was clueless. He has shown great commitment for a long time.
Very kind fellow, usually see them in Source SDK making new and improved images for the wiki. No jaggies on this front! Re-Nomination.
A number of veterans on this wiki have trouble being friendly and approachable, but that's something you know that you never have to worry about with Evaldas. Exceptionally kind, exceptionally talented, and just so darn cute to boot.
Evaldas has been doing some quality work (and particulary with that SDK tool). While he's also very kind, he's also very present on the IRC channel and deserves to be rewarded.

2011-11-26 2011-12-04 Contributed a huge amount of high quality images to the wiki. Showed a strong desire to improve the wiki, creating his own guide on how to work with models in HLMV. Always pleasant to work with and helpful whenever needed.
Helps significantly with our Wiki's photos, including additions and improvements. Displays a kind and helpful demeanor to everyone, and frequently chats in the IRC.

Same as before. My reason can be found in the archive of past nominations (below).
Lots of good image uploads, and weapon demonstrations are always highly sought after here. His list of wikichievments sort of speaks for itself, in my opinion.
Doesn't neglect older, less looked at hats such as older hats that need galleries and new images. He's a great asset to the Wiki.
Magoolachub's got this vibe to him that I can only describe as a valor to improve the wiki. Doesn't exactly makes sense, but it feels right. Videos, photos, damn impressive 3D models... this guy.

2011-11-29 2012-01-08 ? Shows an extraordinary amount of enthusiasm for the wiki and Team Fortress in general. Goes above and beyond what is usually expected; investigated paint splotches and the paint system, and published his results; even though they weren't used, they could have been and may be useful for further reference. Joined on November 17th, 2010, and since then has made several key renovations of major pages; Advanced Weaponiser being one of them, and hundreds of minor edits that could be considered noteworthy. When Dr Grordbort came crashing into TF2, he was one of the first to implement the new weapons onto the wiki, apparently neglecting to sleep. Though people sometimes get the wrong end of the stick with him, and he has been known to lose his temper, he is generally a nice person to talk to and one of the people who can fluently understand wiki formatting and therefore pick up on the mistakes of others. Said that "it'd be nice to be acknowledged for the amount of work I cram into the short amount of free time I have". Well, this is my official acknowledgement; even if he doesn't get a Wiki Cap, I'd like him to know his work is appreciated.

? In case you happen to run into his not-so-friendly side, you most likely have yourself to blame. His temper doesn't show up often, but when it does, he has clear, good reasons as to why he disagrees with the stubborn.
? He's an excellent member of the wiki, helpful, friendly and hard working. He really deserves it. He understands what should and shouldn't be done on the wiki.

2011-12-28 2012-01-22 TheDoctor has been a significant help on the german Wiki pages in the past. He is a member on the TF2Wiki since June 2011 and up until now, he has reached an edit count of 1087 [[4]]. We are not that many translators in the german wiki, not as much as you would expect us to be. Worth mentioning about his work is his ability to work together with others and his open-minded attidute, where he is open to wait for decisions and discuss stuff out, rather than being stubborn and do it his way. He's only striving for the best so far. TheDoctor has been creating a handful of community match-up pages and, while others of us were either absent or on vacation while Christmas, taken care of the Christmas 2011 Update, almost all alone as far as I saw. That's a pain in the butt of work for a man alone to handle. TheDoctor has, since November, been regularily visiting the IRC and created contacts between other translators and himself. He is also able to edit Templates, create anchor links and many other stuff! I mean, just take a look at his contributions, this guy must've skipped Christmas O.o!!!. For all his devotion and contribution and struggling and else and stuff, I do believe he is worth being rewarded with a Cap by now. He undoubtly is one of the most hardworking german translators.

TheDoctor is an amazing Wiki editor who has contributed large amounts to the German Wiki. Not only that but he is also an amazing guy to talk with and he's a regular on the IRC channel, always in for some casual talk all the whilst making (be it big or minor) edits. He has helped me aswell and I am grateful for that. His editing also extends to the Dutch wiki, always keeping an eye out for possible bad links/weird edits etc. He is just a great contributor that definately deserves a reward for his work!

2012-01-23 2012-02-19 Pin is one of most active Russian contributors. He made a lot of useful edits. He always helps new members. Also Pin has been awarded as contributor of the week.

He made over 1000 edits since 10 month ago. As Flippy says, Pin also always helps new members. In fact, I'm not a new member. But, he helped me too :) I think Pin is very kind person.
Welcome to the wiki. All arguments said. He earned himself the right to be nominated.

He is a very active Russian translator, he also greeted alot of people and helped them out right away (including me) by telling them how to improve or the style of translating, I think Pin deserves to have a wiki cap

2012-01-18 2012-05-20 Warlike, in a nutshell, this user has contributed to one of THE most out of date parts of the wiki. He contributes to community discussion and is easy to approach. Warlike has shown a strong desire to help better the dutch wiki for users to read and has taken into consideration a lot when translating. Warlike I believe, deserves the cap for his major contribution and overhaul to the dutch wiki, not only that but he is a very kind person.

Warlike is the most active dutch translator(okay there are only 2, still the point stands...), he improves after each edit. He uses his acquired knowledge to make the dutch articles reliable and long lasting(use of good templates(item name etc.). He has already done >XXXX edits, and most of them are creating new (translation) pages. He get's his first year citizen medal for living in wikitopia very soon, so let's get him a little reward. Also he listened to everything i told him and knew, and he didn't complained :) .
What can I say? Warlike has made and fixed many Dutch articles on his own, due to the absence of Dutch translators until assistance on his workfield arrived. He has helped me with several coding issues when I first started contributing to the Dutch Wiki, and notably strifes for a better Dutch TF2 Wiki. If someone silently deserves the Wiki cap, it's certainly him.
Warlike has shown impressive improvements during his time on the Dutch Wiki. While his first edits were not all that great, he rapidly improved and produces high quality Dutch pages nowadays. His rapid pace and enthusiasm allowed him to quickly translate the most important missing pages: weapons, updates and hats. No task is too big for him and for that, he has my support.
Warlike is one of the most helpful wiki user considering he has done a lot of work for Dutch and other langauages for people around the world.Even though he joined near Janurary 2011,he did edit some articles,adding things to it,and fixing up some grammer.He then,realized that the Dutch Section was getting enough work on,so he took the privilege to do it.He was the one to do it and plus,he is one of those people you can count on.Also,he adds strategies or tips on improving gameplay which is really useful and is focused on the Dutch Wiki.Just one little error,he'll fix it before you can say "Team Fortress 2!" He has done a major job in the TF2 wiki and should be rewarded because he is the one that helped me while i was going through problems understanding the other languages on the wiki.Minute by minute,he improves editing and will sooner later become a boss!He is a kind,smart,and active person and should be knowned for his work.Please take consideration and vote for him.

2012-03-13 2012-06-17 In a nutshell, this man really too long wait his own wiki cap and he really deserve it as the one of the best German contributor. He worked hard over 2 month since reviewed on this nominee and I think he made too much good-contributed wiki pages. So let's make his dream come true! :)

TheDoctor is an active regular both on the Wiki and the IRC. Not only do I often see him working on the German pages, I also see him regularly reaching out to new editors and help them. Helpful, friendly and hardworking, I was quite surprised to find out that he didn't have a Wiki Cap yet. Ergo, I am of opinion he deserves a Wiki Cap.

Doctor is a perfect translator, he translates everything that could be translated to German, also he helps new users to find out what to do on the Wiki. Of cource, he deserves a Wiki Cap. :D

Active. Dedicated. Community minded. Those are the three words that come to mind when I think of Doc. He has edited and translated so many German pieces (and as far as I can tell they seem relatively high quality aswell) and is always on the IRC chat to contribute to discussion or help out other people/correct others. They say the third time is a charm...

I've definitely seen TheDoctor around on the IRC quite a lot. He/she/it's an incredibly nice person who is always there to offer advice or give criticism when needed. I've also seen him sending newcomers messages on their talkpages, which is a great touch. All in all I'd say if anyone were to receive a wiki cap, it'd be him/her/it.

As a newcomer to the Tf2 wiki, i was welcomed by TheDoctor. He/she/it was extremely nice to me and above all helpful. TheDoctor gave me suggestions in a nice way, not in a way that had a tone of "im better than you listen to me newcomer".Also i saw the many contributions that TheDoctor has made. TheDoctor is really a community-minded person who deserves the Wiki Cap.

Although I do not follow his contributions to the Wiki due to not having a clue about German, I can tell he has done a lot of valuable additions to the Wiki. TheDoctor has shown to be active and helpful on the IRC and to be someone who deserves an award for his efforts.

I am in the IRC often, and I see him often too. He helped a lot with fixing the Item-sets split bug. He also helped me with learning how to use the Wiki. taught me about invisible titles - A truly good guy that deserves a wiki cap.

Sometimes I didn't know things that was remove by him isn't fit with wiki guideline. I didn't saw him often because I didn't log in too many but I saw him edited most recently and most of his edit are critical change.

TheDoctor is IRC regular, he is active and main or one of the main contributors of the German version of the Wiki, and he edits English pages/has ideas for English pages of the Wiki every now and then. He deserves his cap in my opinion.

Helpful. Friendly. Funny. Efficient. Knows what he's done and what needs to be done. Isn't this enough to be called useful contributor?

For everything above. Nothing else needs to be said.

TheDoctor helped me when I was new to the wiki, he is often in the IRC and he is an active contributor. More reasons above.

About what most of the others said. Helped me on numerous occations A helpful and dedicated person to say the least.

Doc is passionate about his projects to improve the wiki not falling by the wayside. This shows commitment and dedication.

Similar to Xenak, Doc has stood out to me in my 3-or-so-days of being back as a humorous yet hard-working individual who is autonomous and shows great flair towards editing and improving the Wiki. He, too, is almost always seen in the IRC and is a wonderful person to speak to. Another fantastic nomination.

Pictogram minus.png  Does grammar work and is undoing edits. Most is copy+Paste or even less work.

Although I've had slight conflict with him in the past, it does not negate Hinaomi's extremely visible dedication to making the Team Fortress Wiki into a utopia. He prominently looks out for something to edit, and when he catches a problem, he corrects it, no questions asked. Hinaomi works excruciatingly hard to make the wiki a professional, consistent, and polished place. This is impressive, especially due to his lower-end skills of the English language (which I am sure he will improve). There is no intermittency or even the slightest slack in his work. All these things reward more than just a nomination; he has earned my personal respect, and this is the biggest award I can give.

Hinaomi is an excellent editor, restlessly patrolling pages and carefully scrutinizing each reported bug to ensure that the bugs' style and importance are consistent with all the other pages. Hinaomi also adds and removes sections (such as "see also", for example) to a large amount of pages so that the consistency and format of the wiki is equal throughout all the pages. The quality of Hinaomi's edits are top notch, and I believe Hinaomi deserves a Cap for his contributions.

Pictogram minus.png  Hinaomi has always shown a strong urge to undo edits for either illegitimate reasons or because it's easier than properly fixing the edit. Hinaomi has also been very hostile toward other editors many times in the past. I strongly believe he should not be rewarded for this behavior.

2012-06-12 2012-11-04 Flying_Furry is a great contributor of virtually flawless, high-quality images. Whenever we speak, it's readily apparent that his motivation is excellence - always either proud of doing the best job possible, or asking for advice and opinions for improvement. (Getting there, but please provide specific examples, this was already a problem in his initial review. How are his better than the next person's? -Lagg)

Flying_Furry is a great contributor, I like reb have experienced him asking me for advice on how to do various things that he didn't know or was unsure of how to do, so it's obvious he cares about what he puts out to the wiki. Not only that, but he is also a very helpful person, helping me solve a problem with my hlmv that appeared out of nowhere and seemingly for no reason. The solution was equally baffling, so I'm very thankful to him for looking in to that. A great contributor who cares a lot about what he puts in.

Flying_Furry has uploaded many, many Steam Workshop image thumbnails, a project which he undertook entirely himself. I think that shows dedication on his part.

For what it matters, i've been talking to Flying_Furry quite enough lately, and he explained me quite a few wiki-related things i would have prolly took time to find out by myself, apart the fact he has shown to have a pretty good attitude at it, too. So, behavior-wise, i see no problem at all and i gladly nominate him.

2012-08-22 2012-12-16 R4wrz0rz0r, commonly known to the community as rZ, has definitely had his share of mishaps during his time here. That, however, was before. After rZ took and returned from his wiki-break, I've noticed he's acted much differently from how he'd acted earlier. I believe with his helpful and supporting attitude he now possesses the qualities to properly represent the Wiki. His work for the Wiki is also of excellent quality, and his role on the Wiki is a jack of all trades of sorts. You can give rZ any job about anything on the Wiki and he will do it diligently. He does drone work, janitorial work, template work, and he watches the Recent Changes feed keenly and consults with other users on talk pages whether it be asking a question or collaborating with them, among many other jobs. Because of both his positive, helpful attitude and his continuous work for the wiki, I believe rZ would represent the wiki well with a Wiki Cap. (give examples - Lagg)

Pictogram plus.png  rZ definitely had a bit of a tough start, having some issues with various things, but then, something changed in him and he became a damn good editor. Going through his contributions list, it is obvious that he does his best in whatever he does - he constantly fixes and maintains various templates and dictionary's (something a lot of editors don't seem to do!), he checks the recent changes and purges bad edits, does "taskmonkey" edits such as pushing new versions of templates, and so on. He also seems to have a vast amount of knowledge regarding internal Wiki issues, and is willing to answer most people's questions should they need it. In addition, he is almost always seen in the IRC and is very fun to speak to.

Pictogram minus.png  He's the guy that have many conflicts with another users like me. example case: Conflict with Askarmuk about icon images.

Pictogram minus.png  Although December does good work with some of the competitive articles, he is not highly active and has not made any large-scale changes to these pages. The majority of the edits are minor legibility edits or small standardization changes.

2013-12-26 2014-02-15 Pictogram plus.png  As far as I know, he actually have helped much for the Brazilian-Portuguese Wiki. For example, he started with bugs when he came here and had to left the Wiki for a year for personal stuff, but then came back with alot of work and then he translated the Robotic Boogaloo Update. He also Uploads nice good pictures about items. Even if I am not following pt-br pages and neither his translations since I don't understand portuguese, I think he should earn a Wiki Cap, since he is working hard after a 1 year hiatus from the Wiki.

Pictogram plus.png  He always stays in pt-br sections to translate the things that Valve added, even though he's translator, but can do a lot of jobs like class image, category fix, and much more. this is him
Pictogram plus.png  Metroid7 is primarily a pt-br translator, and a dedicated one at that (examples: Sniper_Robot/pt-br, Magic spells/pt-br, Public Enemy/pt-br) As of late, he has been spamming making tons of little consistency edits (examples: 1, 2, 3) and top-notch images (examples: File:Bountiful Bow.png, File:Bozo's Brogues.png, File:Snaggletoothed Stetson.png) All of this combined should qualify him for the shiny hatte.
Pictogram plus.png  Metroid7... his performance amazes me. I feel a warmth inside my heart, because he reminds me that there are angels. He deserves all the recognition he can have! How quickly he translates full item pages, the precision of the images... I would hate to see him not get this hat. Metroid... You are a gift to this wiki! Never stop what you do, Because it is what you do best. Better than most on this wiki! I have many cousins from Brazil. The chances that they have benefit from YOUR edits are there, if they do, that makes their lives easier, which makes mine easier too! You also have rarely to never have demonstrated negative attitude to anyone, on this wiki, at least, you are a great friend, editor, and a awesome person.
Pictogram plus.png  Ever since I joined the TF2 Wiki, most of the translations I see in recent changes have been by Metroid7. He's been a great contributor, and even though I don't speak or read the language he translates, he does a lot for that side of the wiki. He isn't just translating every other page, he works hard to make sure that he translates over half of them. If you don't believe he makes that many useful translating edits, then you should definitely check out this.
Pictogram plus.png  I could go on and on saying good things about metroid, but I'll just say he's just an amazing, quick, and excellent translator and editor that definitely deserves acknowledgement for the things he has done in the Wiki, he's one of the nicest and most humble people I've met on IRC and he has encouraged me and others to make worthy edits and be less shy around other editors. He's a pretty cool guy.
Pictogram minus.png  I have decided to take my time to review Scotty's (aka Metroid7) translations myself. And even though several other users have praised his efforts by the huge amount of work he has done (even though this very page clearly states that "edit count is not relevant to eligibility"), I'm afraid the quality of his translations does not correspond to that. Though, I do not know anything about his other contributions – images, talk page discussions, IRC, etc. –, but I do know that his texts do lack a bit more of revisions, corrections, and dedication. His errors consist mostly of misspellings, grammar incoherencies, and untranslated texts (i.e. terms from the official translation). A few mistakes in some of his pages can be found here (every [!] indicates specially severe errors). I know Scotty is fully committed to contribute to the Wiki, but I feel his translations lack dedication. I hope to see some improvement on his part from now on, mostly on his grammar and orthography – but I don't think he is deserving of the Wiki Cap just yet.

This user, quite the amount of translations under their hand however activity is kind of on and off. However taking out activity, the translations on the Finnish side of the wiki seem great. Keeping it up to date, though the quantity of translations may be true, the quality is what the kicker is.

SpaceGuy987
2018-10-31 2019-01-24 Pictogram plus.png  I feel like TheRilonh's contributions have gone a bit unnoticed, so let's change that. Mainly focusing on the most active years from 2014 to 2016, they not only contributed to the fast translation of new updates and their associated pages, but also many tournament medals, lots of patches, and also entire comics because why not. What also impressed me is their dedication to the translation of the more obscure articles (which kinda is a necessity since /ru tends to be at a high completion rate all the time, thanks to translators like Rilonh), for example competitive maps, community strategies and responses. And it doesn't even stop there, a majority of their work consists of updates to existing pages, an often neglected aspect of translation. And even though the quantity of their contributions decreased over the years, I feel like the total amount is more than enough to warrant a Wiki Cap. Oh, also this 193k update just recently.

Pictogram plus.png  Upon inspecting the candidate, he's done a great deal on the /ru side of the wiki - his contributions ranging from translating articles about medals, patches, cosmetic items, community strategies and other minor stuff to updating other articles and templates. Based off the talk page, it can be argubly said that the quality of the translations seem to not be an issue - although it can't be exactly verified by me. Though, as TidB have noticed - his activity has gone down - that's clear, but the impact that he had on the state of /ru can't be underestimated.
Pictogram plus.png  As Goodjob previously mentioned, TheRilonh has done a very good job to the /ru portion of the Wiki. He has edited and contributed over 500 edits, most of them being positive. At least half of the edits are still current, such as Casual, Competitive, and the ConTracker pages, all in Russian. He has been noticed being very friendly to numerous users, including myself. I would cast my vote for him in regards to his Wiki Cap.

2019-08-27 2020-01-06 Pictogram plus.png  From time to time, I keep watching the Recent Changes, and I'd always see this guy contributing a lot. He has been updating multiple pages from multiple languages to support the "View listings on the Steam Community Market" button, he also updates /zh-hans that are outdated, and has been seen also translating complete pages for /zh-hans, namely the new 2019 cosmetics. He's also been helping new Chinese translators too. I think he is ready to receive his cap, due to how much he has been working, and how consistently his work has been.

Pictogram plus.png  Dereko has been contributing greatly to the Chinese part of the Wiki. They have translated a lot of pages to /zh-hans, and have kept many old translations up to date, with some of their biggest translations being 军团要塞2/Team Fortress 2 and 火焰兵幻境. They have also been doing maintenance edits (such as marking items as being marketable) across all languages, and have helped out many other Chinese translators on the Wiki. Over 250 Chinese pages are being kept up to date by them (check the userpage for a list). They also participate on discussions in talkpages and on the IRC channel.
Pictogram plus.png  After look in his/her recent contributions, I saw more bigger and solid stuffs such as translation update in templates and pages. He/She outcome my doubt about him/her and like I said earlier that if I see more solid works I'll support, and here it is.
Pictogram plus.png  Dereko seems like a very solid editor. Dereko made lots of edits (many solid ones) on chinese wiki. User also makes many technical changes to many pages in all languages. Also Dereko is quite active on #tfwiki IRC channel.
Pictogram plus.png  I’ve taken the past few days to observe this user’s editing, and I’ve noticed they’re quite active in the IRC channel. After seeing their massive amount of contributions, I can safely say they’re deserving of a Wiki Cap. Obviously, the work being done with Chinese translation is the biggest factor here, but I’ve also noticed they have been contributing to English pages of newly added game content, which is honestly amazing considering how recently it was added.

Since he began his work with this wiki as a translator, he has excelled in that role for the past 1 year and is now more than ready to take a wiki cap. He is proficient and passionate, definitely one of the best korean translators that I have ever met before. I assure that he has always made every effort to provide the best quality of the translating for korean readers. Not only his ability in translating pages but also cooperating with other translators will be a tremendous asset to korean team and all of korean wiki users. He created and revised almost every korean pages of cosmetic items which were added last year. One of his astonishing contribution is the translation progress of map articles has been goes up 40% to 50% by himself. I want to make sure that he gets some recognition for his hard work and contributions to the translating map articles. His great enthusiasm as a translator managing map pages played a vital role in the improvement of korean pages's translation progress. I strongly believe that our wiki should recognize his exceptional performance. He will be instrumental in expanding and revising of translating wiki pages into korean. I'm delighted that he's staying with my team and look forward to his continued contribution. Staff were too hesitant on casting their votes and no consensus could be made at the time.

2021-06-22 2021-09-01 Pictogram plus.png  My main reason to nominate Lexzach is the constant effort in adding class images of a LOT of tournament medals, painted variants of recent cosmetics, etc, at (almost) the level of the latest Wiki Cap owner Seederat. The creation of Lexzach's HLMV Transparent Program helped some users to upload images too!. The program is intuitive and easy to use, and is more efficient that doing the cycle of "screenshots, gimp, transparent, crop, save". Good pal.

Pictogram plus.png  As a veteran "image guy" here on the Wiki, seeing the strides Lexzach has made to make the Wiki a better place with his images is an astounding feat. I can personally attest that his HLMV Transparent Program has helped me as I've made my return to making Wiki images. He is consistently active, and was quick to churn out images as soon as the Summer 2021 update came out. I strongly believe Lexzach is deserving of a cap.
Pictogram plus.png  I took a break from editing nigh 3 years ago, and I was lurking for a long time but finally returned to really see how the community's doing - and I'm very pleased to witness that users like Lexzach work hard all the time for this Wiki! He's a prime example of a deep love for TF2 and he has done pro-level work especially considering his age, such as HLMVTP which is an excellent tool I need to test. Give him a Cap. ^_^
Pictogram minus.png  I usually abstain from making "negative" votes, but I just felt having to write this one. While I think HLMVTP is a handy tool, it's still more troublesome to configurate (and use) it than using GIMP to make the images transparent. It may be useful for image contributor veterans, but for newer users... I'm not so sure. It's still easier for users that are naive with computers in general to just rely with the GIMP method for making images transparent.

And for your contributions other than the program... they don't really reflect how useful your program can really be. Majority of the tournament medal pictures use the exact same pose and facial flexing, and that's not only for the different placements (1st, 2nd, 3rd, participant, staff, etc.) from the same page, the identical poses and facial flexes goes on for several different tournament medal pages. You can see how often poses repeat on his Special:ListFiles page.

Because the background removal process has been automated with the creation of HLMVTP, more time could be used to make more unique poses and facial flexing, but instead, basically every tournament medal images are exactly the same, on every tournament medal page he contributed to, other than the medal attatched on the class.

As mentioned on my Tekinz nomination, I think it's okay to repeat poses and facial flexing for different medal placements in a single tournament medal page, due to the absurd amount of medals we have in the game... however, it is also important to change these poses and facial flexing when doing images for different tournament medal pages.

And for the quality of the images per-se... they aren't very good. You can see how it's not using high-quality textures (notably on Heavy, Engineer and Medic's class emblems). While his most recent uploads did got improved ever since his arrival (lighting position being fixed, and proper cropping, for instance), some things still could be improved. On the few images that use different poses and facial flexing... they all use very basic poses and facial flexing (for instance, images showing the classes' teeth has only appeared at the very start of his contributions, before his poses and facial flexing became the same for almost every image ever since).

The anti-aliasing in most of his images are also kinda poor (it feels kinda "jagged"), it was only recently that this has been improved... which might be a bit late since majority of his images have been uploaded with poor anti-alasing. If the purpose of the program is to remove the background and make it transparent completely automated, without using image editors like GIMP, this should be something to be resolved in the very first versions of the program. The method to remove the background on GIMP gives proper anti-alasing.

I was the person who edited and shared the pre-configured dxsupport.cfg on Help:HLMV for others to use, and for everyone who I have helped with (talking with them directly via Steam or via other methods), not a single one of them had problems with textures or anti-aliasing (anti-aliasing inside HLMV, not anti-aliasing from removing the background afterwards), in fact, installing the .cfg always resulted in the best quality possible. I don't think Lexzach is really using the .cfg. Not even on his first uploads seem to be using high-quality textures (the dxsupport.cfg is always reset upon verifying the game's cache on Steam, and sometimes people don't realize it [which is a common mistake that even I had a few times], which is why I think he never installed the .cfg in the first place).

And, for his most recent contributions, being the Paint variant table for some of the newer items. Some of them are great, others... not so much. For instance, the old images for Meal Dealer and Sightliner were just the cosmetic itself, there was no "class attachment", so unmodelled polygons could be seen (Sightliner not having the strap area modelled from the inside... as it's not needed in-game due to not being visible in-game, as Engie's head is covering it... and the Meal Dealer having Scout's backpack missing, which let an invisible gap in the middle of the images).

I'm sorry Lex, but I don't think your time has come yet. Yes, it is important to create and upload images that are missing on the Wiki... but your contributions seem lazy, and it gives a bad impression especially that you made and are using an automated tool... in which you could have been making different poses and facial flexing by using the time saved from using said tool. And for quite a while, the tool didn't properly do anti-aliasing, so your contributions felt like "more quantity than quality" for quite a while. Yes, tournament medal pages may not have the biggest traffic in comparison to other cosmetics, but even then, high quality images are always important. Seederat, for instance, always did great imagery, even for tournament medals, and his poses and facial flexing on his tournament medal images didn't repeat on other pages.

2021-11-03 2021-12-09 Pictogram plus.png  Some people ask if aliens exist, some people ask if god exists, but I ask; how In the actual hell doesn't someone like Boba already have Wiki Cap. He's been on this wiki for a little over 2 years now, and you can safely bet that he has spent those two years drastically improving the wiki in multitude of ways. So, where do I begin with his numerous contributions. Well, I guess we shall start from the simplest: For one, he has uploaded over 700+ files and various images, all with excellent quality and consistency. Plus, he also went an extra mile and added detailed information about the files in their summary, just so that any future editors can be spared of unnecessary hussle. Secondly, he corrects and fixes things, a lot of things, thousands of things. In fact he's been doing so much various fixes and correction, that he might as well be competing with Mgpt at this point. Whether that be fixing deadlinks, adding new redirects, moving pages to a correct destination, improving categories, adding missing information to existing pages, fixing images etc. You name it! Thirdly, this guy loves templates. He is willing to go wrestling with the deepest depths of css code just so that we can get a usable product. The most clearest example of this would be his work on the Selfmade owners template. His attempts to improve this messy template had to be one of the biggest solo projects the wiki has ever seen. Now, all of this is just scrapping the iceberg. There are thousands of more contributions which he can be attributed to. And because of that, I trully think that this guy is completely deserving of a Wiki Cap. Hell, I would say that he earned his fair share two times over by now.

Pictogram plus.png  That was nearly about 1 year ago, for the changes had took place on the page Unusual/zh-hans, Dereko received postive feedbacks and words of gratitude from Chinese users, to which I answered, the ones deserved more appreciation would be those people who made constructive changes on the original page, not this mere translator, yes? Among all the solid editors who have been devoting themselves to those large scale pages, which require not only a lot of passion and time, but also a satisfactory way of long-term management to be kept fresh and tender, Boba the editor has already proved his visible eligibility to wear the cap of honor, with practical contributions in the past, the present, and, the foreseeable future, no? Hmm, Dereko was worrying if the spoken words are not that same practical. Say, with those seperate and consistent templates, I regard the Unusual page has completed a successful "modularization procedure" under the hands of Boba. Some people may argue that the page didn't change too much on its apperance, but from what I have experienced, a page like this is much more easier to update and make flexible edits, which is of great significance in our multilingual Wiki home. Also, if people pay a visit to the contribution history of Boba, one could be amazed by the breadth of his work, for what some people would like to address him as a "Jack of all Trades", while at the same time Dereko believes he isn't just content to make extensive small edits only, but keep motivated to bring out further progress. Dereko says sorry if the specific cases given are too limited, but they are so impressive in the perspective of a translator - 's watchlist.

Nominee's general attitude towards other community members made it unfeasible for the voting staff members to endorse their actions at this time.

2022-06-01 2022-11-15 Pictogram plus.png  Alex's contributions have been exceptional for the past two years. As for translations, he's one of the most active members in the /zn-hans team, all the way from creating hundreds translated articles from scratch, to constantly updating existing article in order to keep the Wiki Quality Standard. But his contributions does not end with only translations, he is also an active contributor in the Weapon Demonstration Project, and for his outstanding work, the OTFW upoaded several videos he made, for example: Pooped Deck, Texas Truckin', Profane Puppeteer, The Drunken Sailor, and so forth.
Alex without a doubt, is Wiki Cap worthy, he is the embodiment of a quality TF Wiki contributor.

Pictogram plus.png  When Alex started editing on our Wiki in 2020, I didn't expect him to be an editor who would (1) stay active for almost two years. (2) He has not only made significant and constant contributions to the translation of Simplified Chinese, (3) but also participated in non-translation projects, notably, most of our latest demonstration videos are made by him.

WIth skilled editing experience at the starting point, (4) Alex has made no obvious mistake in formatting and operations, which is much better than what I used to do. Meanwhile, (5) it's fair to say he played a very constructive role in improving overall standards for Simplified Chinese translation, despite we hold different opinions on the necessity in some cases.

While Dereko supports Alex without reservation, I didn't nominate him first for the following reasons - although they may not be related to the nomination requirements, they have something to do with my personal willingness, in which I hope he will perform better in the future:

(I) I find no obvious improvement in his overall editing quality in the two years, maybe it's because he already did very well at the beginning.

(II) His translation works mainly focus on new cosmetic pages and patch pages, which are just too easy for his skills, at the same time I have no impression of him translating larger articles from scratch, such as map pages, mechanic pages and weapon pages (rework), which are mostly needed for zh-hans in my point of view.

(III) Use of "machine translation + polishing" programme, which is no secret. Although the quality of his translation is generally qualified in terms of results, and every translator finds himself in need of tools more or less, sometimes I just find sentences that could be translated much better with his level - which are probably the results of efficiency-oriented editing methods. A more professional statement on this issue could be presented in a formal translation review. Personally, if he is going to be a Wiki Cap owner as a translator, it would be better if changes were made.

Notes: In my memory, translation editors would need STS reviews on procedures for the Wiki Cap. Considering STS is no longer active, I'd like to recommend two former STS members to conduct the reviews, on the premise that their help is needed.

Staff were too hesitant on casting their votes and no consensus could be made at the time. Removed from nominations until re-nominated.

2024-04-03 2024-06-09 Pictogram plus.png  It has been a year since Profiteer joined tfwiki, but he has already made significant contributions on tfwiki, especially in Simplified Chinese. Profiteer created a great number of map articles, including some super-huge pages: Carnival of Carnage/zh-hans, Gold Rush/zh-hans, Foundry (Control Point)/zh-hans, Badwater Basin/zh-hans, Gorge/zh-hans, almost all of the arena maps, and he continuously created and updated a large number of map articles EVERY DAY for several months, resulting in a rapid progress in zh-hans map translation from 26% to 51%. Profiteer has continuously updated new content for 2023, such as Zombie Infection/zh-hans and almost all new maps, such as Krampus/zh-hans, Carrier/zh-hans, and all official VSH maps.

Besides editing maps, Profiteer also involves editing of a variety of pages, including tactical article (Offclasses (competitive)/zh-hans), pages for almost all cosmetics of the Smissmas 2023/zh-hans (one of them was created by BEFUK), mechanism article (Disguise/zh-hans), Server Browser/zh-hans, updates for "did you know" in zh-hans, and updates for all Demoman weapons articles, two of which Stickybomb Launcher/zh-hans and Half-Zatoichi/zh-hans are particularly LARGE. And also uploaded a lot of image files related to some recent cosmetics, maps and other content.

Profiteer is frequently active in tfwiki discussions and is very willing to help solve the problems of others (like mine). Profiteer also did a lot of helpful things for our team: he helped tfwiki's official bilibili account upload Chinese subtitles of instructional video series, launched a new questionnaire on the use of tfwiki by Chinese visitors, By the way, Profiteer has made great efforts to find new members for our team (and he did), while providing a reference tutorial for new editors. So, Profiteer is already the backbone of the Chinese editor team, and he is undoubtedly an excellent contributor.

Pictogram plus.png  As a new here,I wish my point of view can support Profiteer to get the Wiki Cap.Since I joined the TFWiki,I have found that he is very active in editing it.There are many long-standing problems in TFWiki (zh-hans) ,but he's solved many of them.He has created a lot new pages for us,too.He is willing to help the newcomers.From our conversation, I realize that Profiteer is very responsible for our translation project.For our group which poor in new blood (LOL) , he's done his best.I know I shouldn't take a lot personal feelings here,but I want to say that Profiteer deserves his own reward.
