Looks like some people have nominated Lafu01, while I'm sure you wanted to nominate Lafu.
Most likely, there are some more nominations containing spelling mistakes...

If in doubt, please check BPIP by searching the name of your nominated members, if your spelling is correct to avoid any confusions.

All mentioned voters are newbie and don't have fulfilled the requirements " You must earned 50 merit to vote "
It is clearly written in voting competition, minimum 50 merits must be achieved.  But all these voters do not have that merit qualification.  So their votes will not be counted.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

All votes for The Pharmacist will be vetoed by The Sceptical Chymist.

In addition: All votes for The Sceptical Chymist will be vetoed by The Pharmacist, so it's just better to not include either one of those usernames in your votes.  Especially not for spambuster.  I don't know what you people are thinking, but it sounds like a fair number of you aren't even reading the rules anyway and just want to slip an easy fill-in-the-blanks post where nobody will think it's suspicious.

• Event of the Year: Bitcoin in Central African Republic

....did what, exactly?

Event of the Year: Pumpkin Curving Contest

Pro tip: pumpkins don't need any help with their curvature.  It's the carving of them that's become an art.

[NeuroticFish]

• Event of the Year: Bitcoin in Central African Republic

....did what, exactly?

Central African Republic has adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. I think it was in April.
Of course, 2-3 more words about it could have been nice in the nomination.
