Although admittedly Brandon's only been actively editing in the last two weeks, he's been doing some great stuff for the new canon section of Wookieepedia in that time. He's created numerous canon version of our EU articles that needed to be created, and has also nominated our first new canon nom. Despite the fact that he hasn't contributed much to the EU side of the Wook, Brandon has certainty shown that he is a good editor that deserves this. Keep up the good work. 501stdogma(talk) 15:18, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
It's a dirty job in the eyes of most, but someone got to do it. He does. Clone Commander LeeTalk 15:35, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
While Cade and Lelal are both great candidates, I think Brandon has done an awful lot of work in an area neglected by large parts of the community and therefore deserves recognition. 1358(Talk) 07:58, June 11, 2014 (UTC)

As much as I appreciate Brandon's recent and great contributions, I think we should still give him a month or so of more active editing before going ahead with it. Additionally, I can't just overlook the fine, precious and efficient job that Lelal has been doing this past month (and all the work he did before it), even if it's for the WOTM a second time. Lelal is a great contributor that has been creating dozens (if not hundreds) of well-written and referenced "new-Canon" articles, he's always welcoming to assist users in need and many other positive things that I'm sure active Wookieepedians already know about. Both users are worthy of the prize, and I'll be sure to vote again next month in whoever loses here. Winterz (talk) 22:25, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
Both Lelal and Cade have been very active as of late, and although I wasn't sure between those two, I have decided to give my vote to Lelal, per Winterz's comments above. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:52, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
I was happy to accept the nomination for WotM but I agree that it's too early for me; I've been actively editing for only around a month now, but I'd be happy to be nominated again in the future. For now, it was definitely a tough call between Cade and Lelal. Cade obviously does a TON of work, both on his own and with RoboCade. That said, I ended up going with Lelal because of his contributions to the building of the canon pages on Wookieepedia. Not many Wookieepedians have shown a willingness to help with that—which is completely understandable given the prevailing feelings here towards the Canon/Legends split, and how people generally only edit what interests them. But as he is one of the few who has taken it upon themselves to dedicate their time to building the canon information, something that's going to be very important as Rebels, the films, and the rest of the new canon are released, I think Lelal has gone above and beyond. He has more than earned being the next WotM. TL;DR - canon bros stick together. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 02:09, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
I would like to throw out a third option here too. Since I started editing around a year and a half ago, I see Cade here literally every night working hard. Whether it's writing very well written FA's, GA's, or CA's, reviewing articles, his Cadegorization project, and more recently, getting RoboCade operational. Before the tab system was put into effect, RoboCade was instrumental in getting things ready for it. All around, Cade is one of the hardest working users here IMO, and he more than deserves this.

Without Cade we would still be working on getting the Canon/Legends stuff applied to articles. RoboCade has been busy.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 23:03, June 4, 2014 (UTC)
Even though RoboCade has been spamming my watchlist, I'll still give him my vote. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 01:39, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
This guy. You can love him, or hate him, or love him AND hate him. I have trouble deciding. It is certain, however, that he is an abnormally useful member of the Wookieepedia community. -- Darth Culator(Talk) 02:01, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
Per Culator, especially the "abnormal" part. JorrelFraajic 03:49, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
Per Culator. Forget RoboCade, Cade Calrayn is practically a bot himself! ;) Adamwankenobi (talk) 10:39, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
For coming up with the first IU notability policy, he deserves at least a WOTM vote from me. —Silly Dan(talk) 22:37, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
Getting my vote in late here, but, while Brandon and Lelal have undoubtedly done much invaluable work for our Canon articles, I believe Cade has done more for this wiki than anyone else over the past few months, going back to when he pretty much single-handedly revamped our Main Page navigation, which looks great. His brainstorming and bot work helped us implement the new Canon/Legends tab system in no time, when we would otherwise still be arguing about this in the Senate Hall. Great work. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:41, July 1, 2014 (UTC)
Gonna go with Cade simply because of what Tope said. He's made this transition so much smoother than it really should have been. :P MasterFred(Whatever) 00:49, July 1, 2014 (UTC)

For once, we have an actual contest for WOTM! :D As always, I will hold my vote until at least the 15th, both to give me time to think about it and to ensure that all nominations are in (because at this rate we could end up with a four- or five- way race if someone can find another worthy nominee or two).
