Warlike (contribs)	Lexar TheDoctor Apparition Hefaistus SS2R	2012-01-18	●Warlike, in a nutshell, this user has contributed to one of THE most out of date parts of the wiki.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.	N/A
Hefaistus (contribs)	Warlike TheDoctor Lockon	2012-01-23	●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	N/A
Pin (contribs)	Flippy Yjy950105 TheDoctor	2012-01-23	● 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.	N/A
Frika (contribs)	Keisari The Noble Scout	2012-02-05	● Frika has worked actively for a year now, expanding and improving /sv pages of the wiki. She has done tons of new pages and proven to be hard worker not fearing the red links. For that reason I think she needs to be considered to get the cap. ● Who doesn't deserve that cap on the /sv boarder then this user. Not only has this Miss proven out to be good backup as Medic ingame, but when it comes to translations, fixings, spelling corrections and helping users... damn. Frika might be the oldest swe's around who has been there since the beginning,but mostly the helpful person at her boarder. I salute thee, O' Jolly Doctor.	N/A
HunterCham (contribs)	Tturbo	2012-02-12	● 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.	N/A

Users who have received a "No" verdict still have 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:

MrPaulolefou	Tturbo Wind	2011-09-23	2011-08-07 2011-10-09	● 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 Fyahweather	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.	N/A
Plumpkins	Sniper-Combine Plummaster Nero123 Cappy Gero* Stevoisiak CsS El señor Caja	2011-08-24 2011-10-20	2011-09-25 2011-10-30	● Great wiki translator and contributor. ● He's always looking for new things to do on the wiki. ● He edits Russian, English and Spanish articles. ● He's on the IRC channel quite often. ● Very polite and helpful. ● Member since November 2010. ● Takes part in many discussion. ● Good man and helper. ● He has translated a lot of pages. ● He has created lots of new translated articles in Spanish ● Very modest, never trying to take credit or look for recognition for his accomplishments. ● He usually makes brainstorms in order to improve the spanish section of TF Wiki.	● Has been nominated once before.
T-Wayne	SackZement TheDoctor Lexar Keisari Gero* (Loginov)	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.	N/A
Evaldas256	Wingless Mr. Magoolachub i-ghost Cooper Kid Fyahweather Chocolatewaffle Nixshadow SilverHammer MrPaulolefou	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.	N/A
Mr. Magoolachub	Moussekateer Fyahweather i-ghost Piemanmoo Balladofwindfishes SilverHammer	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.	N/A
Stevoisiak	Moussekateer Tturbo 404 User Not Found Mr. Magoolachub	2011-08-07 2011-11-26	2011-08-07 2012-01-08	● 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.	N/A
Gun-n-rose	Pin Gero* (Loginov) Cappy	2011-11-27		? He is always one of the first ready to translate missing or new articles into Russian. ? He helps newbies (like me) a lot. ? Overall, he made over 1900 edits and spend many times translating and editing articles. ? I believe that he is worthy an award as any one else. ? Good Russian Translator. He has been awarded as contributor of the week twice. ? He makes a very high-quality translations!	N/A
M-NINJA	Mpnov Stevoisiak Rocket Ship BBQ Cooper Kid Mr. Magoolachub Fyahweather	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.	N/A
Cooper Kid	Mpnov Rocket Ship BBQ Hinaomi Mr. Magoolachub Lexar Fyahweather	2011-08-07 2011-12-09	2011-08-14 2012-01-22	● 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.	N/A

Mr. Magoolachub	RJackson Nixshadow Lexar SS2R Mellotaku i-ghost	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.	N/A

Evaldas256	SilverHammer Wingless MogDog66 SS2R ScoutKast i-ghost Chocolatewaffle Lexar Nixshadow Cooper Kid Cructo Xenak NeonHeights MrPaulolefou	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.

Shane Alvarado	SilverHammer RagnarHomsar inShane Cructo	2011-08-30	2011-09-25	● The only way I can think to describe this kid is as a "ghost of a keebler elf".

He's worth the attention, I think.	N/A

Proof. ● Makes great translations to Portuguese (Brazil). ● Can usually be found in the IRC. ● Takes part in many active discussions.	● Re-nomination, previous nomination date was August 07, 2011
T-Wayne	Lexar Cthulhu1992 Xenak	2011-09-27	2011-10-09	● 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. ● 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.	● Was re-nominated on November 25, 2011
RagnarHomsar	Mr. Magoolachub Xenak Balladofwindfishes Fyahweather	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.	N/A
Fyahweather	The Noble Scout Mr. Magoolachub NobleSkull RagnarHomsar NihonTiger	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.	N/A
T-Wayne	SackZement TheDoctor Lexar Keisari Gero* (Loginov)	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.	N/A
Evaldas256	Wingless Mr. Magoolachub i-ghost Cooper Kid Fyahweather Chocolatewaffle Nixshadow SilverHammer MrPaulolefou	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.	N/A
Mr. Magoolachub	Moussekateer Fyahweather i-ghost Piemanmoo Balladofwindfishes SilverHammer	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.	N/A
404 User Not Found (contribs)	Chronohawk Rocket Ship BBQ Mpnov	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.	N/A
TheDoctor	haze-e Cronos Dage T-Wayne Warlike	2011-10-27 2011-12-28	2011-11-13 2012-01-22	● 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. ● 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 [[1]]. 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!	N/A
