User blog comment:ThePurplePi/Vote for Featured User of September!/@comment-24808864-20140823164319

Hello, I though I explained this well last night but there seems to be a little confusion.

I am sorry but there is no vote for featured user of the month. This is decided by the admins and bcrats based on objective data (such as number of edits, quality of edits, etc). It is important that the featured user is not the winner of a popularity contest, therefore you can discuss it if you want, but there is no vote.

There is however a vote for featured article of the the month. That questions IS a popularity question. We usually start conversations like this about five days before the end of the month, so this blog is a little premature, but I think it is ok.
