Revision as of 15:33, 10 April 2014

PRIMUS Database users are welcome to nominate articles found within the wiki for consideration to be featured on the top page. Page of the Month is decided by your votes, so be sure to make your voice count!

  • Nominations for each voting period close at midnight on the 7th of every month.
  • One official vote per user per month. You are allowed to change your vote during the month, but only the last one counts. Honorable mentions do not count as votes.
  • You are allowed to vote for your own page.
  • Be sure to add your comments to the bottom of the list.
  • Try to give a short reason for your nomination.
  • Make sure you sign your comments with your username!

Votes for May 2014

Theme: Magical Heroes and Villains
For the month of May, we are specifically looking for characters with a "magic" theme-- including costume, origin, powers, etc.
Special rules are in effect for this month.
*The winner for Theme Month will be determined by moderator consensus. As such, vote cutoff will take place at midnight, 1st May 2014, to allow time to deliberate.
  • One vote per user. You must sign your votes (use ~~~~ or provide a link to your user page), but a reason isn't required this time unless you want to give one.
    • As moderators will be acting as judges for this contest, they will not be allowed to place votes.
  • An article only needs one vote to be counted as a nomination. If a page is already spoken for, then you must choose another.
  • Nominating your own page is still allowed.

--Add your nominations below.--

I would like to nominate CharmCaster. It's very detailed and makes great use of in-game screens. -Vitality

Throwing my vote at Lash. No, she's not a spell caster, but the origin is magical. The page is well laid out, and the character is interesting. - User:Gijoespouse

As Charmcaster was already spoken for, the extra votes from CONQUER were removed. Commentary is still up in the section below. --Δ Epelesker (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2014 (MST)

...I'm going to throw my vote for consideration to Canadian Fist - Mr.Bushido

Well, this is interesting to say the least. However, my vote goes to Magic Girl. My reason is that I like the use of in-game screens and the art done looks nice, the CONTENT of the page is also interesting. - Mentella

I think I'll vote for Grimoire this month. It's a rather nice page and it's a good representation of magic from the imaginal realms.-Jarne

Juanita has always been one of my favorite pages to read and look at. The pictures and colors really blend well with the style of the character. A really neat page that I'd like to nominate. Leroy's Wish (talk) 10:54, 9 April 2014 (MST)

My nomination is going to Leonard Castellar. - Oboe Shoes

I nominate Divael, very interesting read. -- Cookiegobbler (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2014 (MST)

Other Comments

The most recent entry of the Admin Blog touches on the reason why we've opted to change things up this month. Give it a read! --Δ Epelesker (talk) 10:08, 9 April 2014 (MST)

((Just so you silly peeps know, this is Theme Month, so votes here are for nominations. The actual winner will be decided by the moderators, not the number of nominations. It will return to the previous way next month :P)) --FrozenViolet (talk) 20:30, 8 April 2014 (MST)

  • Oh it's moderator's choice now huh? How convenient that votes don't matter for this month. Oh well, darn. -Caliga, Despot of Conquer
Epelesker posted the updated rules yesterday,but I think it was also posted that this month was going to have a theme and different rules. I was actually guilty of forgetting them earlier today. --FrozenViolet (talk) 21:23, 8 April 2014 (MST)
The rules for this contest are right above your votes, it would be wise to, you know, read them before voting. [[User:Leroyswish|@leroyswish]] (talk) 08:20, 9 April 2014 (MST)
  • I read them. This was more or so just a demonstration, and a message. I won't go into detail, but I'm sure most understand my implication. -Caliga, Despot of Conquer
Actually: No. I think whatever your reasons are, they must be pretty silly. - BlackMethos
I don't see a message. I see petulant tantrums because you can't just throw in a lot of votes and get anything out of it. I enjoy the new rules, in all honesty. It opens up a new era into this popularity contest. --Mr.Bushido
  • The new rules that are only in effect for a month? Short era.

If you look at the AdminBlog, there's been talk of changing the format for PotM since October last year. This is just the first trial run of a new way of handling it. Personally, I like the nomination process. It widens the pool of possible winners. It got really old seeing the same groups voting for their own members pages. While PotM will ALWAYS be a popularity contest, it's nice to see something being done to at least make it a little more fair for all involved. Let's all untwist our nickers, and instead of be passive aggressive about it, maybe offer some feedback as to how to make the new format work better. --User:Gijoespouse
