The Wikipedian's Barnstar
The Wikipedian's Barnstar may be awarded to Wikipedians whose contributions are appreciated (all types of users), who tries to prevent vandalism from ruining Wikipedia (administrators), and improving Wikipedia. It may also be awarded to a dedicated and trusted Wikipedian who was rewarded their own day.
Introduced by
Pômgut on March 13, 2010.
For some reason all these already have their own respective barnstars.

Is Template:Kosovo je Srbija this really the type of award we want to be giving out? It's appears to be a reward for editing in a way that espouses a particular political viewpoint. This sort of award could be misinterpreted and appears divisive for the same grounds that we caution users of political userboxes that they may be seen as polemical; see Wikipedia:Userboxes/Politics.

I know that the person before me mentioned country-specific barnstars, but in particular: I was thinking a separation of Barnstars by continent. I think that countries would be too narrow, if you have one country, I feel that you should have them all. For example, who is going to contribute enough to get the Ivory Coast barnstar or the Yemen barnstar? If we have barnstars such as North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Antarctica (haha), then it would be far more broad and possible to work with? Thoughts?
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to log in when I posted this...
I'm currently trying to revive the project, and though it would be good to design a project barnstar. I've created File:WikiProject Bedfordshire Barnstar.png, I'm just not sure if it would be 'acceptable' in the world of quality barnstars. Thanks in advance, Acather96 ( talk) 16:59, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to create my own personal user award to give to people who have helped me make The Human centipede (First Sequence). I know this is obviously a bit of a joke and not super serious, and I realise a barnstar requires consensus approval so I'm not even going to bother with attempting that as it's only really a bit of a joke anyway, but am I right in thinking anyone can make any personal user award they like in recognition of more or less anything? If so I have a rather stupid question, how do I do this? Thanks for any help. cya Coolug ( talk) 16:35, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

A bold remake! I propose to improve the look of the current Copyeditor's Barnstar. I kept close to the original design and the three major points I addressed are: 1) Replace blurry, low-quality broom with a more detailed, newer looking paintbrush; 2) Replace cartoony feel of the quill with a more natural quill; 3) Touch up on the aggressive red colour to make the star slightly shinier and worn, closer to the original barnstar.
Below are my proposed designs (right) and the current version (left):
Comments and suggestions welcome, I am happy to further enhance the design. — Hellknowz ▎ talk 17:54, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't think this is a very good idea. The original one isn't of very poor quality; I see no reason to change to a new one. Kayau Voting IS evil 08:07, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I believe we have reached consensus - this star should be updated to the new version. If someone else agrees, please perform the image update. Quinxorin ( talk) 03:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
One more comment: I don't like the red line being reduced in colour. Perhaps it could go from the old colour, and gradually to the red one? (I'm a non-native speaker so I don't know the name for that.) Kayau Voting IS evil 04:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I think a Barnstar Barnstar would be a good idea. It could be awarded to people who do a great job in awarding other users justified Barnstars.

Here's another idea, I know there's already service awards but these are usually self-awarded. There should be a barnstar available for others to show appreciation to "wiki-veterans" who have been actively editing for x many years.
