The following discussion is preserved as an archive of monthly Wookieepedian of the Month nominations. Please do not modify it.

For a long time I've watched this guy tirelessly work on articles on the wiki, fixing much of the formatting and such. He's a great contributor well due for the recognition! Adamwankenobi^{Talk to me! My home.} 19:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Number 6 all time editor with almost 9000 edits. He deserves it. Cull Tremayne 05:46, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- How did you find that out? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
  - The Stats page, I assume. #15! Woo! - Kwenn 20:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
    - Wow, second place! Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 20:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
      - One of our best contributors. MyNz 06:36, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not voting for anyone else for WotM until Erik wins, even if that means I never vote for anyone else again. -- Darth Culator 22:07, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll agree with the rest for once. ;) -- Riffsyphon1024 05:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

If Erik doesn't win this time, I'm going to go insane. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax ^{(Imperial Holovision)} 18:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
He must win this time. He's been nominated for over 4 months now, and still hasn't won. I'm not saying Borsk isn't good, but Erik just deserves it.Master Secura

Skippy Farlstendoiro 06:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC) - I'm with Erik and his Palpatine article.

He has done great work on Palpatine, and has now expanded into Star Wars: Legacy. -- SFH 20:42, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree i have browsed through hundreds of articles and Palpatine is easily has the most infomation.
- Can someone explain why people so desperately feel Erik needs to get this? I hadn't even noticed him until I saw he was nominated last month. The Palpatine page doesn't interest me, so I never spotted him there. He's not on the stat page above, and he doesn't seem to have made a major contributions outside Palpatine. I have nothing against the guy, but can someone explain this popularity to me? --Eyrezer 01:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
  - He has done other notable work, like Beilert Valance, and a lot of work on Legacy stuff. And his writing has inspired others. -- Darth Culator 01:38, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
    - Most of his stuff is wildly POV and written in a completely un-encyclopedic manner. Kuralyov 18:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
      - Last time I checked, NPOV was a good thing. 69.210.82.54 18:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
    - Edit counts are only useful so far. For example, a complete article rewrite is much more valuable than a minor maintenance tagging or spelling correction; however, measuring edit counts doesn't reflect this. RMF 02:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
      - Yeah, I'm aware of that. --Eyrezer 03:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

This user hasn't been contributing for quite a while, but he was quite instrumental in getting the wiki up and running. - Sikon [Talk] 16:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Have you gone mad, Sikon? Seriously though, how can we treat them like a Wookieepedian when all they do is start wikis on wikia. Back then this was nothing. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  - It's a joke, obviously. - Sikon [Talk] 08:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
    - MediaWiki Default is like a deadbeat parent. Has anyone seen him around lately? All MediaWiki Default does is go around making baby wikis and then abandoning them. -- Darth Culator 11:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
      - I get the joke now. Though, lol at Culator. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
