Nomination edit

Pinkie Pie (talk · contribs) – Hello, everypony. Today I'm here to nominate one of the best ponies from Equestria, our favorite pony Pinkie Pie! Her actual full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and she is, as her name would suggest, a bright pink-colored Earth pony. Due to her cheery and outgoing demeanor, I believe she is well capable of handling the mop at Wikipedia, and is willing to help anypony out whenever they're in need. She has been residing in Ponyville since season 1, demonstrates a talent for baking cupcakes at Sugarcube Corner, enjoys throwing parties for her friends, and represents the element of laughter. I'm sure that with her optimism and ability to defy conventional logic, she frequently break into another song and dance to just about anything, and occasionally break the fourth wall, requiring a clean-up. If you've managed to read everything all the way to this point, congratulations! Now go vote for Pinkie! :D —stay (sic)! 10:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
