Note: This topic has been unedited for 5988 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not add to unless it really needs a response.

I for one do not aprove that the period should be extended to 2 months. One, it would allow the person to make an edit on the first month. Wait and then become nominated the second month. What if the guy is nominated on the third month, would we have a massive controversy if the guy has that much votes? No.

Since I'm afraid that this is my first time in getting NotM and I don't want to loose the chance next month. And since YTTE is a great guy who shows potential. I say we both get the award this month. Note that this is a one time thing and it's not going to be permanent. And it would make us both happy. I would get NotM while he would get NotM. We all win and we're all heppy. So, For, or Against.

Dude, extending the period to two months was just my idea, I'm not suggesting it be done. Yet. The thing is, I think some folks have a little slower learning curve. It may take them a couple extra weeks until they really get the hang of the place, especially if they're unfamiliar with wiki coding. But what if, say after three weeks, they get into full swing and start pumping out featured articles and helping with site maintanance and all that? Shouldn't they still be eligible for the next month? -OptyC Sucks! CUN19:24, 26 Apr

No, because the award is for getting the hang of things right away. Adding another month of eligibility would completely change its nature. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 21:03, Apr 26

Ah, gotcha. I thought it had more to do with the quality of their initial contributions rather than the speed which they get the hang of things. I stand corrected. -OptyC Sucks! CUN21:06, 26 Apr

I don't see any reason you should get the award

For two reasons:

1. If TKF wouldn't realize YTTE's ineligibility he would win by a staggering majority. Hence, I see no reason you should win by four votes just because he was booted.
2. The fact that you had the unstoppable need to come over to his talk page and gloat, disaqualifies you in my view. So I'm seriously thinking about dropping NOTM all together for this month. ~ 20:54, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Mordillo is in the best position to judge this with his experience and I agree with his judgment. YTTE was one of the highest supported noobs ever and should have won. --Sir DJ ~ Irreverent 09:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

This isn't about me winning. It's about us both winning. Me and YesTimeToEdit would both get the award. Read the top people! --The Improver talk • contribs • 21:14, Apr 26 2008 (UTC)

Improver, I have to agree with Mordillo. Your actions today weren't exactly the actions of a good Uncyclopedian. They were the actions of a jerk who is more occupied with winning a stupid virtual badge than being polite and civil with his fellows. But the idea of this leading to your winning with only four votes versus YTTE's 17 is just as ridiculous as extending eligibility. I think you would have been wise to stay out of this whole ordeal; nothing you can say will help your case at this point. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk!

You know, you can just vote for Rcmurphy if you like. --The Improver talk • contribs • 21:32, Apr 26 2008 (UTC)

I may not be an admin myself, but I can tell that you're treading on thin ice. I would have been more than happy to vote for you if you had been a little more grown up about all this. I'd hate to see you banned/leave on your own due to stupid drama. I'd much rather we take a step towards being rational and keep things in perspective. It's a stupid award. There are other ways to become a CUN. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 21:39 Apr 26

Chill out. Rcmurphy is leading by 5 votes. Which means I won't be winning the award. Rcmurphy will, just chill out. --The Improver talk • contribs • 21:40, Apr 26 2008 (UTC)

Rcmurphy? NotM? Could this be the month he actually wins it? ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 21:48 Apr 26

Yes. Also read this. I am confused by all the drama. This should of been fair but instead it's turned into drama. --The Improver talk • contribs • 21:54, Apr 26 2008 (UTC)

The Improver, you're taking this way too seriously. It's just an award, and whether or not you get this award does not determine or even effect your value as a human being. I see that you're trying to put in a good word for YTTE, but you're trying so hard and going back and forth so much that it's kind of suspicious. Just relax and let the award go to whoever earns it. If it's you, hooray. If it's not, learn from this experience. And keep it cool, boy. --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 22:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Go for it. It's a template on a parody website, and anyone making more of it than that is probably the one making a big deal out of it. Hell, put it on your page 10 times. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 00:20, 27 Apr 2008

Yeah, just give it to 'em both, and go for the easy, quick-fix, make-everyone-happy-at-once solution. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 01:39, Apr 27

Alternate Proposal

Fuck 'em both and give it to Rcmurphy. Hell, he's been patient, and he's even leading at the moment! -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 02:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Lolwut!

As most of you already know by now, The Improver is a confirmed sock of NXWave. That douche just doesn't know when to quit harassing us. That destroys any need for this topic or this proposal. Thank you all for playing. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 23:32 Apr 27

Huh? /me rubs eyes. What? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to clarify that this proposal and this topic are now pointless after The Improver was discovered to be NXWave. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 00:29 Apr 28

And I just wanted to be clear that I just woke up from a nap, and you blindsided me with this news. Also, a pillow. Jerk. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:31, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not a pillow. And even if I were, I would never want to be your pillow. Jerk. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 00:35 Apr 28

I'm curious, how does one confirm such a thing? Do you have to take DNA samples and send them to a paternity lab? Or is a birth certificate enough evidence? --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 00:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

ZB got Sannse to run a CheckUser on him. Sho' 'nuff, it's him. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 01:01 Apr 28

No no, it's certainly was the DNA stuff. ~ 13:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
