I'm going to have to disagree with Addfire on this one. I see it to be as simple as checking the user's contributions to see how helpful they've been to the wiki and voting on that. Friendships should not get in the way. Same thing like if a friend was vandalizing the wiki - We wouldn't ignore it. They would be treated the same as everyone else and they would be blocked from the wiki.

I'm unsure where to vote at this point in time. I do get the vibe that when the staff would vote as a group, it would be for who the group genuinely thought contributed the most that month. Versus with the community - Sometimes it feels like it's a popularity contest, which is to be expected I suppose. People want to vote for their online friends. I think one benefit of having the community vote is that it encourages people to participate.

As said in private chat, if we go back to eligible edits - No one should be allowed to vote until all eligible users have been counted and listed. Everyone should start off at even ground.
