Team Fortress Wiki:Wiki Cap/Nominations
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. Users cannot nominate themselves. Check the Archives to see if someone has been nominated before.
New nominations should be added to the table in the following format:
|- | style="background-color:#ffbd7e;" | [[User:CoolPerson|CoolPerson]] | [[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.

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

● 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. |

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. |

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 | 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. |

| 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. |

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. ●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. |
