The February 2009 User of the Month was Degenret01, who was nominated by Azaz129. The other candidates of that month were Hapi007, Bonziiznob, and Rich Farmbrough. Note that Kudos 2 U left the wiki before voting ended.

“ Degenret01 made his first Wikia contribution in January 2008. Since then each and every of Degenret01's 2000+ contributions has been dedicated to editing and bettering the Wikia. Becoming a sysop in late November of 2008, he has since then reverted countless amounts of vandalism, but always remembering to assume good faith and is often willing to offer second chances, a rarely-seen attribute today. He has offered much of his knowledge and help to many users across this wikia and for that this wikia is grateful. It is an honour to name Degenret01 as February's User of the Month. ”

Kudos 2 U

Kudos 2 U Talk • Contribs • Edit count

Although recently new to the RuneScape wikia community, this user has time and time again proven themselves as both a mature and very resourceful user. They've contributed to many mainspace page's, and is responsible for a many of our updated HD images. As an entrusted user of Rollback rights they have reverted many vandals and is proficient in editing grammar/spelling and updating the information contained in this wikia, with now over 2000 edits. It is with this, I nominate Kudos 2 U as a User of the Month.

I nominate Hapi007 again. He made a lot of great contributions. Most of his edits were uploading the most recent images and animations of... anything! Between his images and animations project he also reverts vandalism. This person is very nice to other people. He made over 2000 mainspace edits, and over 1000 image edits :O! That's why I nominate Hapi007 for user of the month Januari 2009. You deserve it Hapi007! Buzz (Talk • # • √ • P ) 08:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Bonziiznob

Bonziiznob Talk • Contribs • Edit count
I'm renominating Bonziiznob since he was nominated late last month. I feel that he deserves a full month as a nominee. Although he has only been editing here for about a month, Bonzii has the edit count of a user that appears to have been here for much longer. He is one of the most active editors we have and he makes good use of his rollback privileges. I don't think I've ever seen someone so dedicated to improving the wiki and reverting vandalism. It is a great honor for me to nominate him. Happy new year everyone. Andrew talk 03:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - As per Soldier 1033. Bonziiznob is very involved and active in the community. Bonziiznob is also very fast and active at reverting vandalism, in my attempts to revert vandalism I have been beaten to it almost every time. I agree that Bonziiznob is a deserving to be user of the month. Bonziiznob has wished everyone a Happy New Year and been welcoming to everyone in the community.

  • Comment - "I don't think I've ever seen someone so dedicated to improving the wiki and reverting vandalism." Well, I've seen enough.

    • Comment - Hapi, you wished me a happy new year, along with a few other users. So why are you opposing Bonzii for doing it too? White partyhat old.png C Teng talk 03:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment - I agree with Hapi007, it's not about making friends, it's about improving the wikia. Buzz (Talk • # • √ • P ) 16:34, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment - :S, I'm not trying to make friends with anyone so please don't be so hostile. It's New Year, why am I being the target of some random assault as wishing people a Happy New Years. I didn't nominate myself and if you look, just about ALL messages sent were before this UotM were created. I am not trying to win votes or persuade anyone. I'm a very happy person and around holiday's, it the meaning to share and bring happiness to each other. What does that mean? I'm tricking people into liking me. Society today is overrun by people who have power and people who are trying to get it. I feel as a sysops I could benefit the wikia, but I am in no rush to get it, and questions I have had about them are just to ensure that when I do run, or am nominated, it can be as positive as possible. Perhaps wishing users a Happy New Years was a bad thing. 20:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Second off I'm an underdog guy and it would make me feel good if I knew I supported a losing team(no offence). Third off (Warning this is from my side of the arguing) I think some admins are being mean to some new blood around here, which me and some other editors find unfair.

Degenret01

Degenret01 Talk • Contribs • Edit count

Degenret has been an active member of the community for quite some time now, he began editing in January '08 and has amassed over 1800 edits. As an admin he has fully followed policy and has reverted countless acts of vandalism. Not only does he always remember to assume good faith, he also tries to give people second chances, an increasingly rare sight now a days.

  • Support - Degenret was the first who sent me a message telling about using "you"s in article, and it was the days that I was a newbie in this wiki (or in any wiki). He is good at giving advice, and continues to do so to other users in need of help. He fights vandalism whenever he could (even while working), and always remembers to fix any errors or mistakes in articles. Degenret has and always will be a loyal wikian, and is an invaluable user/admin for this wiki. Bravo and keep it up!   az talk   08:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - As my nominee as retired from the wikia, I assume I am entitled to another vote. Degenret01 is a great editor. He is professional about his work and his intentions are always for the better good of this wikia. Questioning me on my content, which I know is of good intent, just proves that he is ultimatley trying to maximize this wikia's potential and has shown this multiple times. Although he is my running mate in this User of the Month, and this vote would bring it to a tie, he certainly does deserve this title, more so then I. 14:43, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Support - in fairness to Rick, there is a real person behind this bot and is providing a valuable service to the wiki. I admit that most of the 40k edits are bot edits, but that ought to be irrelevant other than to point out that this is a serious contributor to the wiki. He has been providing a much needed linking and infrastructure to the wiki, and should be recognized for that effort. Pages like this certainly deserve extra recognition as well. --Robert Horning 08:18, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
