I have a high respect for several of the former admins, but as much as I love them, this is not for them, this is for people who did not and cannot be thanked as they should, or put more into this wiki then any other person during their time to a extent that the wiki is covered in their influence. so I guess the questions we need answered are:


 * 1) Do all editors who go to war for their country get this honor
 * 2) If they do, do we give it to all, or only those who do not return.
 * 3) Can/Should active editors have this honor? We are saying you dont need to die to earn this, yet what do we do when we give this honor and somebody we thought gone returns?
 * 4) How do we handle "nominations" and how can we politely filter applicants?
 * 5) Somebody mentioned above something like this, should we note honorable mentions, of editors who have done good work here, yet are not "honored editors"
 * 6) If so, what do they have to do, how common will this status be, and does this make them "next in line winners"?
 * 7) If we do this Honorable mentions thing, would this have a negative effect on how we find new people? I don't want people being overlooked because there are guys on this list we need to focus on first.

I think thats it, I am sorry for adding all of this, but this should be done right and we should ask and answer everything that comes to mind, at least I think so. 1. While going to war or serving during peace is a very honourable thing, I cannot decide here. Firemen or other jobs like this are also dangerous and honourable. Then why give it only to the soldiers? Personally, I would love to honour all those people but as a wiki we cannot really manage all those honours and there would be pretty many honours, I guess. So I think it's not such a great idea after all.

2. stuff I said above ^

3. Then the honour gets removed, as it would be for people who went away, I think. If they're back, the greatest reward for them is knowing we remembered them.

4. If we have to decline a "nomination", we have to do it politely and with reasoning behind it. We're making rules for this we will follow them. We can't find all of the people to be nominated, so perhaps any users could "nominate" them.

5. I think MOTM does this already?

6. stuff I said above ^

7. We don't need too many titles. New users might find themselves not useful and not great amongst a load of people with titles, right?
