I'm just gonna drop my thoughts here before all of you started a war against the pro-FU and the anti-FU.

Featured User is a nomination that is updated monthly, that puts up a featured user that is nominated and chosen by users depending on these aspects:
 * 1) How helpful (s)he is to the community
 * 2) His/Her contributions to the community
 * 3) How (s)he was able to lend a helping hoof/hand to those in need
 * 4) How (s)he followed the guidelines and rules of the wiki
 * 5) How (s)he contributes to the togetherness of the community
 * 6) How (s)he reflects to WWPD
 * 7) How (s)he kept the place neat and orderly

However, we encourage voters to avoid voting for a user due to this aspects:
 * 1) Personal relationship (as friends)
 * 2) Number of edits
 * 3) Quality of fanon work
 * 4) Favor
 * 5) "Meh, I'll pick him/her. She's nice to me."
 * 6) How much attention (s)he deserves.

We also do not want a Featured User (FU) to be treated:
 * 1) "Like a BAWS"
 * 2) As an honorary
 * 3) As the most popular guy/chick in town
 * 4) More than usual.

We also do not expect those who are ruled out from the nominations to feel:
 * 1) There's favoritism
 * 2) "Nobody loves me :'("
 * 3) "THIS IS NOT LEGIT!"
 * 4) The admins are giving him/her a chance because (s)he's better than me!
 * 5) Abandoned; Deserted
 * 6) Forever Alone
 * 7) Feel like turning into Pinkamena Diane Pie and perform Cupcakes to everypony.

We would like the FUs to:
 * 1) Act as usual
 * 2) Improve their great work and contribution to the community
 * 3) Tell those that doesn't win the FU everything is going to be alright.

We would like those who lose to the FU in the FU nomination to:
 * 1) Improve their great work and contribution to the community
 * 2) Contributes and helps on the expansion and organization of the wiki
 * 3) Live their lives as usual
 * 4) Not planning to pay revenge on the FU
 * 5) Run for next month's FU again!

There is nothing wrong in being a FU and losing to a user in the nominations. It doesn't mean that you're not the favorite: It's just that you have to improve yourself and be a better user for the community.

Your admin, Rainbow Dash.
