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]]

::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]]
