Revision as of 05:36, 3 January 2013
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: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.
Active nominations
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 "he works hard" or "he's trying really hard". An example of a good reason would be: "The quality of his set of weapon demonstration videos for X, Y, and Z far exceeds anything else I've seen."

2012-09-07 |  ● 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. |

2012-09-16 | ● Has been around the wiki for a good long time. Takes loads of images, LOADS. Loves the wiki and spends tons of his time contributing to making the wiki better. 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.
● <Everyone> RagnarHomsar, do everything! * RagnarHomsar does all the things, and does them better than anyone else.Also lots of video thumbnails

Aperture AI | 2012-09-29 | ● Mobius244 provides useful information about the articles to other users. On of the most active russian wiki users at this time. He watches the new items' pages and expands russian ones. And he was active for a long time — more than the half of year. I have not seen him, nor has any other staff apparently.

2012-11-07 |
● 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. |

Codename S.P.Y. (contribs) |
The Noble Scout |
2012-11-14 |
● Codename S.P.Y. is an editor and translator who is dedicated both time and focus to his work. 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.

● Themokey is a Korean who dedicates mostly of his time adding updates to Korean articles and doing quickly translations to new articles added to the Wiki. He started doing the translations in 2011 and worked fine since then. He also do minor fixes to other languages articles and upload images (rarely). 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. :)

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:

● 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. |

● 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!! |

| 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. |

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). |

● 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. |

● 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. |

● 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. |

| HunterCham | Tturbo DaTa |
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! :) |

| Hefaistus | Warlike TheDoctor Lockon Macinzon |
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.
●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. |

●His interest, perseverance, and dedication for improving the Wiki is actually clear. Not only for the amount of edits he has made; all of them were useful and don't lack a pinch of quality. His enthusiasm inspired me to work even though I've never really talked to him. Quite a worth guy, one of the few spanish translators that usually translates and keeps translating over days, always giving the best of him. |

● Wingless is not only an extremely hard worker when it comes to the Wiki, but also a great guy. He works very hard, relentlessly patrolling the pages to weed out the bad trivia and make sure only good trivia stays on whatever page his focus is on. He's almost always in the IRC, and is very a very approachable person whether you have a question/problem or not.. He's a great guy, and I'd be proud to have him represent the wiki with a cap. ● I'd not really noticed Wingless until he single-handedly began a review of all the trivia. A massive undertaking that will greatly benefit the wiki, and which earned him my respect. ● rewrite
● Wingless is a very active and helpful contributor. He is often seen fixing stuff at various pages, either by fixing links, adding new templates or removing bad trivia. ● Wingless is always doing useful contribution and he is fixing articles by fixing links, adding lang icons etc. He works honorably much, and is helpful, cooperative and friendly. He is also IRC regular, and he is person you can talk to or ask from, if you have anything to talk/ask. ● Wingless is a very active editor, he always edits small things in the Recent Changes, also he is a good helper, always helping others. You deserve it man! ● Wingless constantly contributes and has contributed so much to the wiki. He is constantly fixing bad trivia and adding content to the wiki. This user is an amazing contributer and deserves to be given 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.

2012-06-13 | 2012-10-21 | ● Karmacharger makes videos, quite a bunch of them, and does it on time. What more to ask? 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! |

| Asplode | Liquid Fire rZ Neg TheDoctor Wingless |
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.
● 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. He is constantly maintaining the Finnish wiki, making sure that all fixes are fixed and incorrect edits are correct. In addition, he is in the IRC a lot, and is a funny guy to speak to. |

2012-06-19 | 2012-11-04 | ● Although he hasn't been active for few weeks, LiquidFire is still the main contributor of Danish version of Wiki, and he is the person who has made Danish version of the Wiki A MUCH better place, by fixing and translating articles and templates. 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.
● 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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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!! |

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. |

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. |

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! |

2012-01-18 | 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 :) . |

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. |

2012-06-11 | 2012-09-16 | ● rewrite
● 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.

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)
