These nominations are less for “who I think is great” and more for individuals that have the skills

That is a important objective in this endeavor, I think Whatsup doesn't fall within the latter half. She's great so don't get me wrong on that but she is the Gladce of Steemit and it just doesn't seem appropriate from a professional stand point of all due seriousness of what you are trying to achieve here. It takes all sorts of characters to make a site a success, she plays a integral part as far as that goes but most of what she writes goes under the category fun, funny, funniest and drama, drama queen. When I think of reading serious writings, professional writings or professionalism Whatsup isn't a go to for me in that regard but I surely love her for her ability to stir people's attention by coming up with weird, wacky and dramatic headlines to draw attention to her blog.
