Halo Fanon talk:Fanon of the Month/Archive 2

Sabine (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — August 4, 2014
 * Date of Nomination — August 24, 2016
 * Description — Ajax decided to make a character based on Kill la Kill and no one thought it work out. Somehow it did. Then he decided to do it again and by that point we'd learned to stop asking questions. Eccentric choices in source material aside, Sabine is another example of just what a powerhouse Ajax can be when it comes to pumping detail and creativity into an article.
 * 1) As per nomination.

Gods' Word (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — August 11, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — August 25, 2016
 * Description — A good example of how to write a very interesting individual weapon article. Any newer users aspiring to write something like this should certainly give this article a read, so I feel it deserves some attention.
 * 1) Per my nomination.
 * 2) Usually, a 'unique' weapon article is a lot of boring text for a boring idea. Not so here: sev manages to make it both interesting and one of a kind. -- LOMI   Speaketh  12:22, August 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Has my support because it did something for Halo Fanon as a community, namely kicking off the movement towards personalized titled weapons which resulted in the Mythic Weapons page. That Damn Sniper 23:28, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

ODST Battle Dress Uniform (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — June 8th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — September 3rd, 2016
 * Description — An expansion of the gear used by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. It's a little short at the moment, mainly expositing on the variants for most of the length which just exceeds FotM qualifications, but with some more in-depth looks at the materials used or the history of where it comes from, say what company built it and how they corporate-backstabbed their way to that contract, for example, it's on its way to being a solid article. Maybe we'll see it on GA next.
 * 1) As per nomination. That Damn Sniper 04:55, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

Attilus (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 6th, 2012
 * Date of Nomination — September 4th, 2016
 * Description — One of our few well written and unique Jiralhanae articles on the site, Attilus was drawn to my attention by his recent SOTF exposure. The article gives us a view into the world of a rising warlord, his mistakes and lessons learned, all weaved back and forth through Sniper's mythos.
 * 1) As per nomination. --  LOMI   Speaketh  13:25, September 4, 2016 (UTC)

Halo: Power Plays (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 26th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — September 9th, 2016
 * Description — A shining example of what happens when you take a brilliant writer, some of Halo Fanon's best characters and throw them into the chaos of the Created's Uprising, where back-stabbings and simple opportunism takes things from good, to bad, to worse again. Definitely a great read.
 * 1) As per nomination
 * 2) It was fun to watch a riveting community RP turned into a superlative story.  Joshua   (Talk)  (Contribs) 11:31, September 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) As per the above. It was fun to be a part of.

Annie-003 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — September 20th, 2010
 * Date of Nomination — October 24th, 2016
 * Description — A canon expansion article of the unnamed 'Beta-Red Actual' that details the life of SPARTAN-003, the leader of Platinum Team for most of the Human-Covenant War. While not a particularly long article, it's undergone numerous changes during its existence and shows a great attention to detail from the author that makes it a very enjoyable read. As such, I think it deserves its place in the spotlight this month.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) It's always nice to see a canon expansion that's well written, and this is no exception. It has my vote --  LOMI   Speaketh  23:24, October 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) Good enjoyable read, as per nomination Shivly

Claire-G115 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — October 12th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — November 23rd, 2016
 * Description — Its not often that we get a new article focusing on the life of a headhunter; neither do we get one that shows off just how crazy a Spartan can be.
 * 1) As per nomination.
 * 2) An interesting character with a lot of future potential, I think.
 * 3) It's always great to see a good, fleshed out Gamma character.

Delta Company (1)

 * Writer —, ,   ,   and
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 25th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — November 27th, 2016
 * Description — I really like this article because it is such an interesting and fascinating take on the.
 * 1) I am an uncreative person and have no idea what to say.  UPgraded (talk) 17:03, November 27, 2016 (UTC)

David Kahn (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 31st, 2009
 * Date of Nomination — December 16th, 2016
 * Description — One of our oldest and most decorated articles, Actene has crafted one of our few bounty hunters in such a way that he stands out as a unique character, having had his hand in everything. Truly a standard for a quality character, and a badass at that.
 * 1) As stated in the nomination --  LOMI   Speaketh  18:23, December 16, 2016 (UTC)

Battle of New Tyre (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 27th, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — December 17th, 2016
 * Description — If anyone needed to see just what Dirge was capable of, look no further than the effort he put into this article. While already interesting because it shows both Innies and the UNSC working together, he also describes the general maneuvers and skirmishes in the article quite well.
 * 1) As per nomination
 * 2) Just had the honor of proofreading the article for Dirge and I can only say that it has more than earned the status of FotM. While the the wide infobox does takes away a more pleasant look at the top of the page the context itself is a real joy ride and very interesting to read. Revan180193 (talk) 00:09, December 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * 3) A nicely-written battle article; don't see enough of them these days.

Kyle-B115 (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — January 18, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — January 18, 2017
 * Description — While it could do with more work for GA status, with the short paragraphs and other stuff, I feel it's pretty good for getting FotM status, as enough work has been put into it already.
 * 1) As per my nomination.

Far Isle Incident (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — June 16, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — January 26, 2017
 * Description — Minuteman's talent really shines when he's writing battle articles and I think this article, which also lends itself to his username, is a great example of this. A well-written expansion on a grim but entirely overlooked detail from canon.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) While short, it's concise and well laid-out.
 * 3) While I agree with the points above, what I also like is how Minuteman also describes the chaotic nature of the events before-hand.

Jez 'Varum (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 14th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — February 22nd, 2017
 * Description — A talented Sangheili warrior, Jez 'Varum was betrayed by the Covenant and fought against them for some time before joining the Swords of Sanghelios. Coolbuddy's been putting a great deal of effort into this article lately, so I think it deserves the award.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) Somehow this article has so far escaped my notice. A tragedy, since it's pretty good. Definitely has my vote --  LOMI   Speaketh  00:40, March 1, 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) Nothing much more can be said than what LOMI and Brodie have already said, a great character article that's been given much attention to and deserves more recognition. (Sierra-A143 (talk) 01:35, March 1, 2017 (UTC))

John-A222 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation - September 11, 2014
 * Date of Nomination — March 13, 2017
 * Description — One of the best Alpha Company Spartans I've seen and one of the articles I see of as a role model, Commander has put a great amount of work in this character, and as such, I feel it deserves more recognition than GA.
 * 1) As per nomination
 * 2) A very well-written, well-presented article. Definitely worthy of the award.
 * 3) I came on tonight with the intention of finding another, better, article to compete for this month's spot. But having read through the article I'm fully convinced this deserves to win FOTM.

Konrad-004 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation - October 22nd, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — April 15th, 2017
 * Description — An original S-II article with a long ways yet to go in the scope of its plans, but those plans look quite extensive. Already, D042 has covered the training and start of the Human-Covenant War with a level of detail I shoot for myself, taking the time to work through canon and additional fanon events alike, topped with a good balance of quotes and images. In short, I think it feels ambitious, and I look forward to seeing how D042 adds to it.
 * 1) Also, being a pilot with Tom Cruise for an out of armor image, it's Top Gun the Spartan. That Damn Sniper 06:17, April 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely has the potential that will no doubt make it a Good Article. Also, "Tom Cruise isn't riding a motorcycle in this article."
 * 3) It was a tough choice, but I feel like Konrad deserves its place in the spotlight for taking on such an interesting concept for a SPARTAN-II.

Shepard-G127 (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — October 2, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — April 19, 2017
 * Description — A winner of two Annual Awards, Shepard is no doubt one of the best Gamma Company Spartan articles on this wiki. While it does have a few small grammatical mistakes like " 's " for "s" and others, nonetheless I feel it is very deserving of FotM.
 * 1) As per my nomination.

SPARTAN-A274 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 3, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — May 20, 2017
 * Description — SPARTAN-A274, called as Daniel, was a SPARTAN-III of Alpha Company who was recruited by ONI to work under their supervision. Jericho has put a lot of effort in this article, and while the unfinished sections hold it back for a GA nomination, it deserves some time in the spotlight.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) Can't deny DM Jericho put a lot of work into this article, going above and beyond for history sections some people would deem irrelevant.
 * 3) While the unfinished parts does bother me a bit I find what has already been written to be of high quality and very entertaining to read. Revan180193 (talk) 08:31, May 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * 4) The page could really do with some more content to seem more complete, but what is there is well laid-out and nicely written.

Winston Zhou (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 12, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — June 24, 2017
 * Description — It's an older article, but not only is Winston Zhou's page put together very well it also creates a great assassin archetype that ties in well with the rest of Brodie's broader universe.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) As per nomination. Lieutenant Davis
 * 3) I approve of those article

SPARTAN-II Program, Class II (2)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — May 11th, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — July 17th, 2017
 * Description — While the caretakers of the Halo franchise have forgotten about the concept of more Spartan-IIs since the launch of Halo 3, CB's expansion on this project proves that the loyal fans have not. While nowhere-near finished, I believe CB's insistence on detail and ensuring compatibility with the other Class II S-II articles deserves to be rewarded.
 * 1) As per nomination.
 * 2) A very nicely laid-out, detailed article that was a fun read. With some more work on it I'm pretty certain that this page could be a definite contender for not only Good Articles, but this year's Annual Awards.

Gilgamesh Free State (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 23rd, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — July 27th, 2017
 * Description — A faction article written with Minuteman's trademark style and attention to detail, the Gilgamesh Free State also provides the backdrop for the ongoing community RP Status Quo that's still going strong.
 * 1) As per nomination.

Baal Defense Solutions (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — April 25rd, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — August 14th, 2017
 * Description — An article detailing the workings of a rather unscrupulous private military corporation that became prominent in the years following the Human-Covenant War. Colin's put a lot of good work into this page lately, and I feel like it deserves more recognition on the site.
 * 1) As per  my nomination.
 * 2) Mind, it could use a few more images, but in spite of missing out on the RPs of late, I've heard a lot about Colin's use of BDS to connect the new characters and groups of various users within it, and something to encourage that kind of collaboration I always find welcome. That Damn Sniper 05:46, August 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) It definitely needs more images. The article also needs to be filled with written record of all the shenanigans its gone through because at the moment of this writing, this organization has earned its place in terms of execution, but, less-so in writing. The collaboration and world-building that Colin has implemented is no short of inspiring. Distant Tide

Raak'ezh Warrior Creche (2)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — November 21st, 2010
 * Date of Nomination — August 26th, 2017
 * Description — An older article, but like many of SpecOps's old articles a very high quality one that never really got the recognition it deserved. A great Covenant military organization that ties into much of SpecOps's personal lore.
 * 1) As per  my nomination.
 * 2) As per nomination.

Expendable (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — April 17th, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — September 21st, 2017
 * Description — I've noticed that no one seems to nominate any Weekly entries for whatever reason. Despite having not won its submission, I found that Actene still managed to write an interesting and intense piece despite the limited space.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) It may lack some of the quality for being nominated the Weekly Winner - it is definitely a solid piece in Actene's continuously impressive portfolio of accomplished short stories. This is a shorter piece, but, it manages to throw in a plot twist and a decent message on morality with the few hundred words allowed. Definitely worth its salt.
 * 3) It's been forever since we've had a story nominated for FotM. A short but enjoyable piece.

Colt Blaster HDW Mk.15 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — May 7th, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — October 21st, 2017
 * Description — Designed during the Interplanetary Wars, the Colt Blaster would have faded into obscurity had it not been illegally uploaded onto the into an easy-to-assemble and modify format. Seeing service throughout human space, it has become ubiquitous with humanity's colonies as a whole, though its age has started catching up to recent years.
 * 1) As per nomination
 * 2) Positively excellent article, used it for my own universe, and very happy with the wide appeal it has.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 23:09, October 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * 3) I think this article stands as a testament to the 'if you can write it well enough, it should work' thing I've been saying for years. Tide's done well to make a concept like this work within the Haloverse, and the page definitely deserves praise for that.

Yun'da'Klem (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — February 09, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — October 26, 2017
 * Description — This has got to be one of the most unique and strange supersoldier characters I've seen in recent memory. A Prophet supersoldier, something new and unique on Halo Fanon. It seriously deserves some recognition. Plus the introduction of new interpretations of concepts of the Halo universe, much of what Revan has added is recently revealed material from 343 meaning an untapped field from which Revan currently controls. While I did notice a number of grammatic mistakes this looks like it has a lot of potential going for it.
 * 1) As per above. I wish him luck, even as my rifle is competing against him and I am biased for my own toy! Distant Tide (talk) 04:09, October 27, 2017 (UTC)

SPARTAN-II Program, Class II (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — May 11th, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — November 19th, 2017
 * Description — Created during the height of the Human-Covenant War, the second class of the SPARTAN-II Program was designed to help reinforce the limited numbers of the original class while also attempting to address the weaknesses found in them.
 * 1) As per nomination.
 * 2) In the same vein of high quality, SPARTAN-II, Class II is clearly inspired by the stylistic execution of Delta Company while taking the time to expand in its own direction and come into its own. While many users have used Class II for their own devices in the scope of Halo Canon on HF for many years, there hasn't been a time more needing of Class II as the numbers continued to be swallowed up by 343 among Class I's legendary numbers - there just aren't enough SPARTAN-IIs to go around anymore. However, Coolbuddy's attempt to create more space for more Spartan numbers to be freed up is both impressive and a logical step in the right direction. This page will definitely give other users leeway to expand on their own Class IIs and have something to work off of in the future. Very impressive, I hope to see it receive much greater activity in the future as more Spartans become created, maybe they will join the ranks of Class II - only time will tell. Distant Tide (talk)
 * 3) An excellent, well-written canon expansion article by Coolbuddy here. I've got a few small gripes, like how they chose the exact same ship for the Class II's to recover as the original SPARTAN-II's, but nothing that actually detracts from the page's quality. In any case, it's nice to see the poor Class II S-II's getting some love.

Halo Spotlight: Reunion (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 21, 2016
 * Date of Nomination — December 14, 2017
 * Description — Continuing the rare tradition of nominating Weekly entries for Fanon of the Month, I figured why not nominate one of my favorite short stories I've read? "Reunion" is a brilliant piece showcasing the reunion of two Spartans, who were more brothers than teammates, after decades, under the false belief that one of them was dead. While this month is hectic for users considering the AAs, I still feel this story deserves some time in the Spotlight (heh), and FotM is just the thing for that.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) Despite being short even by Weekly standards, I did enjoy how LOMI used every word selectively, keeping the focus on Riker's turbulent headspace up until the unveiling of Laz.
 * 3) I don't see enough stuff about Riker and Laszlo - two of my biggest article inspirations when I first joined the site - these days, so it's great to have a happy short featuring them once again. Short but sweet.

Gilgameshan honey bee (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — July 31, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — January 17, 2018
 * Description — Not too long ago, there were some among us clambering to get a site meme on the front page of Halo Fanon, in this case, the honey bees from the Status Quo RP. Created on a whim by Echo for the butt end of a joke, this wonderful mistake somehow made it to Legendary Article of 2017. The Gilgamesh honey bee is honestly impressive, somehow they're so plot-critical that UNSC Snipers during the Gilgamesh incursion killed more beehives than insurgent marksmen. For their loss, they deserve some kind of immortalization. At least a month is warranted for a laugh. Either that or wait til April. In all seriousness, it admittingly just barely passes the minimum byte limit. However, I think we can have a sense of humor every once in a while. I think having a bee article on the front page of the site wouldn't hurt anyone.
 * 1) As per my vote I guess. Distant Tide (talk) 23:57, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) As long as it’s only for a month and as long as it’s not under my userbox, why don’t we just let Echo’s page bee on the main page?  08:01, January 18, 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) As per the others. It's a creative future warfare concept that doesn't get played with a lot and I enjoy seeing articles that blend a bit of humor into the usual seriousness.
 * 4) I still can't bee-lieve the buzz this article has caused on the site since its creation. Godawful puns aside, this is a genuinely interesting page that covers a little-seen niche on Halo Fanon these days regarding fauna on colony worlds. Good job.

Diana (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — October 7, 2008
 * Date of Nomination — February 12, 2018
 * Description — The AI partner of the renegade SPARTAN Simon-G294 is very well-known among all of the major HF folks for her cold and calculating personality. Having caused the Bombing of Philadelphia, an article which not only won Best Event of the Year, but also the Legendary Article of the Year award along with the Chancer V in 2014, Diana is obviously a well-written AI, and that stands as the reason for my nomination.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) One of my longtime favourite characters on the site.
 * 3) I like Craig, having interacted with the character during RPs, however, I also feel like thematically he's a bit all over the place. For that, Diana has a little less story but she has an established history personality and honestly does better job as an evil Cortana than evil Cortana. She has my vote. Distant Tide (talk)

Kyle Craig (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — June 5th, 2014‎
 * Date of Nomination — February 17th, 2018
 * Description — Brought up in a broken home, Kyle Craig would enlist into the UNSC military to fight help in their fight for survival, until he turns to a criminal lifestyle. Vadum's been putting a lot of work into him lately, and I figured it's only natural that his efforts should be recognised.
 * 1) As per nomination

The Silent Garden (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — March 9th, 2018
 * Date of Nomination — March 22nd, 2018
 * Description — How do people get into the Domain remotely? 'Something something technobabble' might be the usual response, but Tide gives us a much more intriguing and in depth look at how it works... with a healthy side of technobabble here and there.


 * 1) Per my nomination -- LOMI   Speaketh  23:40, March 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) The article makes some of the throwaway technobabble introduced in the Forerunner Trilogy actually seem to mean something, which makes their use here dozens of times over more appreciable here than in canon. That Damn Sniper 01:12, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) Having talked and suggested Tide on this article for various times, I am very delighted to see him pull off the concept neatly, and I can happily confirm that there is more interesting technobabble on the way. 02:27, March 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) This is honestly one of my favorite concepts to come along in recent memory. A lot of Halo fans complain about the influx of Forerunner space magic concepts in the newer games, but at the very least it provides some great fodder for articles like this.

Dipdip (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — January 9th, 2018‎
 * Date of Nomination — March 26th, 2018
 * Description — Unggoy articles are intriguingly hard things to writes - trying to take a character that's meant for comedic relief seriously is a massive task all on it's own. That said, UZ rises to the challenge with an Unggoy of his own take on an Unggoy during the war, succeeding for the most part.
 * 1) As per nomination.

Grono 'Yendam (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — January 7th, 2018‎
 * Date of Nomination — April 16th, 2018
 * Description — So, I was a bit apprehensive on this nomination since I'm not very familiar with UZ's work. I'm pleased with much of his collabs with Sev40 but that's as much I've really seen from him. Giving this article a looks over, I can honestly say - I'm impressed. Fully realized, very few grammatic or spelling errors from what I can see and as its already achieved GA status, I have to say it deserves it wholesale. I have some witheld feelings about some of the character's story, such as infiltrating ONI but that's more of a personal bias rather than a fault of the author. I'm honestly impressed with UZ's work and I hope to see more out of him as time goes on and he becomes more accustom with developing large-scale stories and worlds.
 * 1) As per nomination. Distant Tide (talk) 02:01, April 17, 2018 (UTC)


 * 1) As per nomination. There are a few grammatical errors, but nothing like that really means to affect my overall opinion of the article. UZ clearly has potential, and I have some high hopes for him. Good going, bud!
 * 1) As per nomination. In the introduction you say that he never rose above ultra, yet in the infobox it says he's a shipmaster. There are some issues with lore. Like his meeting his father and training with him and his uncle even though Sangheili never knew there fathers. The reason is that not knowing who their father is makes a male Sangheili more open to listening to everyone and anyone who will teach them, which in turn leads them to be better warriors. No favoritism. No bias. Despite these minor hiccups the article still got GA status, and the article has good characterization.--Andromeda Vadum (talk) 23:37, April 28, 2018 (UTC)

Kyle Craig (2)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — June 5th, 2014
 * Date of Nomination — May 21st, 2018
 * Description — A man with a long and storied past of criminality, government work and even service as a Spartan, Kyle Craig stands out as a definite villain in a morally grey universe. While I'll admit that the page is still pretty rough around the edges I can't deny the work that Andromeda's put into this article, and I'm hoping that it'll only be improved more in the future to bring it up to GA or even AA standard.
 * 1) As per my nomination
 * 2) As per nomination. A few grammatical errors, but not anything too big. I didn't really think much of this character when I first joined this site, but after having done several collaborations with Andromeda and this character, I feel safe to say that this article deserves its nomination, and further all, a position on Fanon of the Month.

Merlin-D032 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — May 25, 2017
 * Date of Nomination — May 24, 2018
 * Description — Likely the most fleshed out individual character from the Delta Comapny collaboration and one day away from it's one year anniversary, Merlin is a compelling character who's exploits I enjoy following. In addition to hashing out an interesting story of his own for D032, Tide has also sought to have him interact with other writer's characters including my own, which is always great to see. So yeah, he's got my nom.
 * 1) As per nomination.User:Spartan-D042 screw this sig stuff 14:30, May 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * 2) A bias towards Delta, and because Merlin is one of the few characters on the site that I didn’t write that I still follow considerably. The page is really well made, has a lot of well written text and quality pictures, and no empty headers like most of my pages. While the infobox is broken on my iPad, that’s not the fault of the article, and as that was my only issue with the page, I have nothing else to add.

 * 3) I disappear from the site for a year or so and suddenly we've got a new user of Distant's talent; definitely worth FotM, one of his best articles. slowfuture  (Talk)  (Contribs) 16:34, May 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) Doesn't deserve anything more because he couldn't save his girl from the attacker, letting her die. Learn from Deryck you stupid, he killed the guy instead.

Kyle Craig (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — June 5th, 2014
 * Date of Nomination — June 21st, 2018
 * Description — If anyone has lived a thousand lives and done a million different things, its probably Kyle Craig. For this master thief, life never seems to be set and his legend is hard to comprehend. He's been nominated twice this year, third time is the charm. Right?
 * 1) As per my nomination. I am a little concerned that there is a lack of definitive vision for this character by Vadum but I have already voiced such concerns to him in the past on it. As it stands, Kyle Craig is a seasoned character and an accomplished roleplay character with its size, it surprising he hasn't received a FOTM victory yet. Here's hoping this time is the right time.

 * 2) As per nomination. I agree with many points, and as can be seen above, voted for this article last month, and see no reason why I should not vote in favor of Kyle Craig again. This indeed should be recognized for its qualities.UnggoyZealot (talk) 18:05, June 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) While there are definitely some things that need to be worked on, Vadum has put years of work into this article and it is definitely deserving of recognition and accolades. slowfuture  (Talk)  (Contribs) 18:11, June 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * 4) While the page still needs work to push it into GA/AA levels of quality, Andromeda has certainly put a lot of effort into its creation and has worked hard to improve Kyle over the last few years, so I think that it deserves some recognition for that.
 * Yep, I agree with Brodie. It could definitely improve with more work and restructuring, but I won't deny how much work and effort Vadum has already put in Craig for years, and it deserves an FotM award for that.

Blake Karmyn (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — May 3rd, 2018
 * Date of Nomination — July 28th, 2018
 * Description — Once a street urchin on Earth-based Germany, he joined up with the UNSC, became a Marine, a Scout Sniper, served tours through the Human-Covenant War and eventually became a SPARTAN-IV. There is a lot of potential in this character even if he's just starting out. I see great things in the future for this character and its author.
 * So, it's been a while since we've had a true new-blooded user come in and give us something to nominate for FOTM. Not since UnggoyZealot which was a few months ago but even then, it's rather rare for new users to pop up and create something worth the showcase. I think we have one in LowBudgetKnight's Spartan-IV, Blake Karmyn. He's a little rough around the edge but I think this character and its author are more than deserving of winning FOTM in August for sticking with it and polishing up the article little by little. I cannot deny that its a little rough around the edges, for example, its use of an unusual formatting style in the Biography where the military history is separated from the childhood and called "Biography" when typically that would encase the entirety of the character's life. Also is the implementation of very small images and some rough-looking formatting choices like all the images locked to one side or not having perfectly aligned everything in here. That said, Blake is certainly on his way to being a character I can see appearing prominently in future stories, RPs, and community projects down the line if LowBudget decides he wants to stick around for the long term. He has already shown himself to be an appreciated member of the community and I'm happy to see him start dipping into character creation and Fanon writing. This is to him in hopes he only continues to flourish and improve!
 * 1) For the last week all I've been seeing is big lists of Knight's changes to it, many of them exceeding five thousand bytes per day, so it's easy to see where all that detail came from. I do agree it is very rough - missing spaces, image placement, and a lot of empty sections. However, given how zealously he has been working on Karmyn, I can only guess how it's gonna look within a month or the end of the year.
 * 2) It's always great to see newer users putting out articles of great quality like this. There are a few minor details that could do with tuning up, like needing to spell out numbers, run-on sentences and a few capitalisation issues, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality. Fix these up and I think we'll have a good GA or even AA contender soon! With all the work put into it in such a brief amount of time, I think it definitely deserves the honour this month.
 * 3) Per the others nominations! With a few of my own opionions such as good character development and great detail on each sections.--Andromeda Vadum (talk) 12:55, July 31, 2018 (UTC)

Edmond Dahm (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — December 29th, 2015
 * Date of Nomination — August 24th, 2018
 * Description — In patrolling the site for an August FOTM nominee, my recollection drew me back to this article. Dahm is already highly decorated on this site, but as I quite enjoy the concept of a more "everyman" style of Halo character and still remember fondly the task of writing for him in the latest SOTF season I see no reason why the cop-turned Marine-turned-militia fighter shouldn't be a contender here.
 * 1) As per my nomination.
 * 2) Easily one of my favs on the site! Hopefully it gets expanded on more in the future.--Andromeda Vadum (talk) 23:20, August 24, 2018 (UTC)
 * 3) "Error 404: Requested Information has been Dahmed to hell." Pun courtesy of
 * 1) What can I say? Everyone's fallen for this charming cop even when his presence has been lackluster as of late :P

Simon-G294 (Winner)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — November 6th, 2008
 * Date of Nomination — September 24th, 2018
 * Description — One of, if not the original 'Spartan traitor' pages on the site, Simon-G294 has consistently been one of the best Spartan articles around thanks to Actene's constant work on the page, chronicling his hard life as a trainee turned-fugitive. Honestly it's more of a surprise that this page hasn't been nominated for FotM in the almost ten years it's been on the site.
 * 1) As per my nomination
 * 2) Dammit if I don't second that. Simon was my inspiration to join Halo Fanon. And if no one picked another candidate this month, Simon is easily on the short list. Make it happen.
 * 3) I was 14 when this article was created, I was active on site at the time. My experience here, on Halo Fanon, has always centred around Simon and my friendship with Actene. This article has developed and grown up along with him; it is deserving of all the praise it gets. slowfuture  (Talk)  (Contribs) 02:12, September 25, 2018 (UTC)
