Author Topic: 2009 Member of the Year Nominations (Read 12730 times)

Joe Sermarini · « **on:** December 02, 2009, 09:28:07 am »

Please nominate your selection for our 2009 Member of the Year, who will be awarded the title Tribunus Plebis (male) or Tribuna Plebis (female). Nominations will close on 12 December.

Please only make one nomination or second and only nominate or second the one person for whom you actually intend to vote.

Curtis Clay and Patricia Lawrence have already been awarded Perpetuus status for selection as member of the year twice. They are no longer eligible for nomination since they are already Tribunes of the People for Life!

To be eligible, the member must:
- Have been a member the entire year.
- Be one of the top 50 posters (currently that means more than 780 posts).
- Either hold one or more of the other titles or serve as a moderator.

Only one Tribunus or Tribuna Plebis will be elected each year. Polling will begin after the nominations are complete. A member that is elected twice will be designated Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus (male) or Tribuna Plebis Perpetua (female) and will be excluded from future election because it is unnecessary. When a Tribunus Plebis Perpetuus (male) or Tribuna Plebis Perpetua (female) is selected, the member with the second highest number of votes will be selected as member of the year and awarded the title Tribunus Plebis (male) or Tribuna Plebis (female).

Our Tribunus Plebis and Tribuna Plebis to date:
Martin Griffiths (maridvnvm) - Tribunus Plebis 2008
Steve Minnoch - Tribunus Plebis 2007
Patricia Lawrence - Tribuna Plebis Perpetua (2006 & 2005)
Hans-Joachim Hoeft (Jochen) - Tribunus Plebis 2006
Curtis Clay - Tribunus Plebis Perpetua (2005 & 2004)
Dane Kurth (Helvetica) - Tribuna Plebis 2003

It is difficult to choose. There are several members who contribute so much.
I nominate Pep. His sterling work on the Website Award committee deserves to be recognised.
Martin

Pscipio · « **Reply #2 on:** December 02, 2009, 10:00:03 am »

I nominate Martin, especially for his fake detection work.

Lars

I nominate Lars... a lot of knowledge in all fields...

romeo · « **Reply #4 on:** December 02, 2009, 10:53:43 am »

I certainly second Pep, he puts in a lot, and i mean a lot, of work for Forvm.

moonmoth · « **Reply #5 on:** December 02, 2009, 11:20:01 am »

I nominate Jochen, who puts in so much work on the background to the coins, and is quick to help others with attributions as well as showing his own lovely coins.

Yes, so many great members, but I, too, strongly support the nomination of Jochen, whose contibutions here on FORVM linking ancient coin depictions with recorded mythology from various sources, with various alternative definitions, is so valuable!!! Such information seems to be covered in bits and pieces here and there. I don't have, and have never seen, LIMC (Lexikon Iconographicum Mythologiae Classicae), so I can't comment on its contents, but it is staggeringly expensive and generally not available to us common folk.

Yes, I'll second the nominations of Jochen, a true amateur in the several best senses, and in none of the worse ones. Pat L.

Potator II · « **Reply #9 on:** December 03, 2009, 02:37:04 am »

I"ll second the nomination of Lars (Pscipio) for his knowledge, his permanent attempt in helping others, and the creation of ACSearch...

Jochen · « **Reply #10 on:** December 03, 2009, 05:21:06 am »

I nominate moonmoth because of his sharp look on the depictions of coins, which often leads to new and surprising results.

Best regards

Pep · « **Reply #11 on:** December 03, 2009, 08:12:52 am »

Wow, thank you Martin and romeo!

I second maridvnvm, especially for his latest work concerning the IAPN/BOC reports.

I'll second moonmoth as an extremely helpful/polite/knowledgable member and well deserving of a nomination.

slokind · « **Reply #14 on:** December 04, 2009, 12:56:44 pm »

So would I, but I already seconded Jochen. I can hardly choose between them. PL

Danny S. Jones · « **Reply #15 on:** December 04, 2009, 02:32:53 pm »

This is going to be a hard one. There are so many here who contribute so much to the ancient coin community, and all deserve to be recognized. Just a thought for everyone... since the Perpetuus status winner allows the runner-up to receive the award for Member of the Year, we could have two winners again this year. Two nominees could possibly win this title, since they've already won once.

They all deserve it!

Regards,
Danny

Just like you military types to stick to rules

Regardless of eligibility, you and the rest of your staff should know that in many minds, you are the members of the year!

While I'm not a fan of this obsession with ranks, titles etc., while we're talking about helpful and knowledgeable
forum members archivum must be mentioned.

I would like to nominate Steve Minnoch for his big help at identification section

Pscipio · « **Reply #23 on:** December 07, 2009, 09:06:40 am »

I hope someone will nominate tacrolimus for his superior skills in identifying worn bronzes.
