2014 Founder's Awards Nominations

Please post your nominations for the various Founder's awards here for discussion. Post not only the Editor's or Admin's name, but also why you feel that person should be the awardee. Nominations will close on the 28th of February, with Nicjansma announcing after he has made his decisions. Negative responses are not solicited, as these are only for nominations.

Five out of the six Founder's Awards are up for nomination; the Founder's Consistent Service Award is completely left up to Nic. The criteria/descriptions of the awards can be found here.

Please post your nominations under the appropriate sub-heading.

  • Name:
    • Proposer's supporting statement
      • Additional Supporters' statements
  • BobTheZombie
    • I may grumble about the amount of extra work it causes me, but I think Bob's taken on a herculean and largely thankless task running around various BattleTech communities promoting Sarna and soliciting comments, so it would be churlish of me not to recommend him here. Although I reserve the right to continue grumbling... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 10:33, 21 January 2015 (PST)
      • Definitly seconded.--Doneve (talk) 11:10, 21 January 2015 (PST)
      • Thirded; most deserving indeed!--Raven 2C (talk) 14:38, 21 January 2015 (PST)

Founder's Honorable Mention Award

from the citation: "awarded...to candidates warranting special recognition for the previous year's efforts; awarded to selected nominees of the Outstanding, Superior & Exceptional awards"
  • Nuclear-Fridge:
    • He fix a sher amount of grammars and spellings on various pages, incredible.--Doneve (talk) 05:19, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • Aldous:
    • During the period he was active here, Aldous put a lot of work into updating a range of articles relating to the Capellan-St. Ives War and Operation: GUERRERO. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 10:26, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • Cache:
    • Cache has been through and systematically updated a wide range of unit images to higher quality versions and added images that were absent before. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 10:26, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • Trifler
    • He has contributed a most valuable amount to the MechCommander 2 information effort. Thankfully he has the time to do such things; it wouldn't be at the level of content where it currently is without him!--Raven 2C (talk) 14:43, 21 January 2015 (PST)
  • ClanWolverine101
    • Although he hasn't been around much this year, ClanWolverine101 did add three large character articles and one unit article to Sarna. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:03, 22 January 2015 (PST)
      • Seconded.--Doneve (talk) 04:58, 23 January 2015 (PST)
  • Cyc
    • This has been another year where Cyc has continued to plug away with edits here at a consistently high standard, despite his Com Guard membership making him a de facto outlaw these days... BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:18, 22 January 2015 (PST)
  • Raven 2C
    • Managed to squeak in a fair number of edits while also actively contributing to the video game work on here and helping shut down someone determined to turn the Merkava page into a polemic. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 00:18, 22 January 2015 (PST)
  • Neuling
    • Neuling's a pretty inspirational guy. Despite having to work outside his first language, he still racked up something in the region of 2,000 edits last year, often plugging away at the kind of boring, nuts and bolts stuff like planet owner history updates and unit composition updates that isn't exciting but is useful. I also think he's sought more feedback here than anyone else on ways he can improve how he contributes here, and he's been slogging away at the same pace for years. Neuling's one of the solid building blocks Sarna's built on. BrokenMnemonic (talk) 09:54, 23 January 2015 (PST)
  • DerangedShadow
    • DerangedShadow has thrown thousands of edits (often putting him at the top of the active user list) at taking out annoying disambiguation pages, and I think he deserves lots of recognition for that tedious and often confusing job. -BobTheZombie (talk) 15:17, 25 January 2015 (PST)
  • Orwell84
    • Orwell84 is with us for a short while, but his high quality contributions special to some Clan pages and character bios are insane.--Doneve (talk) 01:40, 26 January 2015 (PST)
  • Doneve
    • Wanting to give recognition to Doneve for taking on the monumental task of updating and adding information to the planets pages. Over 3,000 planets and he is taking the time and effort to raise the standards of each of the planet pages. DerangedShadow (talk) 06:46, 26 January 2015 (PST)
  • BrokenMnemonic
    • Wanting to give recognition to BrokenMnemonic for taking on the monumental task of updating and adding information to the planets pages. Over 3,000 planets and he is taking the time and effort to raise the standards of each of the planet pages. DerangedShadow (talk) 06:46, 26 January 2015 (PST)
