Don't you think that the Template:FA-Barnstar should be replaced to The Featured Content Barnstar.

Hi! The WP:CRYZOO needs a barnstar to award to editors who make great contributions to Cryptozoology related articles. We need someone who is skilled in graphical programming to contrive the design.

Yes, Antonu and HellKnows, and I find my concern about that misplaced. The WIkicomons FAQ confirms that "You don't have to worry about server disk space and the loadtime of the Wikipedia pages that refer to them, since the software automatically generates and caches smaller (as specified in the articles) versions." I am not sure we've reached consensus on the revised Userpage barnstar, but as for the rest, I assume that Antonu could simply replace the existing images at Wikicommons; the Wikicommons FAQ page says how.

As you probably know, the LGBT Barnstar selection criteria reads as follows:
The LGBT Barnstar is awarded to editors who make significant contributions that expand Wikipedia’s knowledge about homosexuality, bisexuality, transexuality, LGBT life and culture, notable LGBT people, events and movements, sociological issues, and population statistics.
The three things I bolded have the potential to carry politically charged content. Thanks to the prodigious noisemaking of the LGBT community, many issues, including the definition of homophobia, have been heavily and in many cases irreversably politicized, but to omit them would be to omit notable content. Is this an issue? If so, how should we deal with it?
Just thinking out loud here. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 16:03, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking we should delete content rather than add it. True, we will end up omitting potentially notable information, but like I said the LGBT community is trying to politicize everything and we must be very adamant about NPOV even if it does mean ignoring some things. I believe the relevant barnstar should be repurposed to exclude materials particularly suceptible to POV, or at least a policy implemented that allows the award to be revoked if the neutrality of any of that user's edits is disputed or confirmed to be POV. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 00:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Revivify? Is that even a word? Anyway, I probably was a little "strong" there, but still LGBT is one of the most politically charged subjects facing the world today and if nothing else we must be extra vigilant against POV materials. I just saw potential POVness and thought that if the guy giving the barnstar wasn't careful he could end up praising someone for potential POV material - it's hard to tell what's POV and what's not in that field. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 20:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I oppose the repurposing of the barnstar by removal of LGBT-related scope on the basis that LGBT have a strong opinion. The award is for editors and not LGBT; it is irrelevant if LGBT is controversial or not. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 23:00, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

This, um, Personal User Award would appear on a talk page to give somebody a backhanded compliment, a citation for "Exceptionally speedy action--maybe going just a tad too fast--in correcting an egregious typo," for instance.

The pedagogy barnstar would be awarded for taking existing content on Wikipedia and restructuring it to have higher pedagogical value, that is, helping it achieve comprehension in a greater number of user minds, or lowering the barrier to understanding. Not "dumbing stuff down" via deletion of detail, but rather conveying the same amount of information but more effectively. Kind of analogous to how the computer mouse and the GUI let people use the same kinds of apps as they'd already used, but more effectively and intuitively. This inevitably overlaps with usability or user interface design, but it could also just be via smart editing. It is "making Wikipedia's content easier to digest," and the common theme of the instances is pedagogical improvement. — ¾-10 22:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Barnstars are nice, and I do not propose abolishing them. But I do think it would be nice to introduce a new type of award that overcomes the issues I am about to describe.
The problem with barnstars is that anyone can award them to anyone. And likewise, anyone can fail to award them to anyone. An editor who does something of minor importance that is liked by one person can get a barnstar. And an editor can make many major valuable contributions and get zero recognition from others.
I do not believe people award of fail to award them in bad faith. It's just that not everyone knows about them or is active in looking out for those who deserve them. And since there is no guideline other than anyone to anyone, people have varying ideas of who is deserving of one.
Here is my idea to solve that problem: To create a new award that is handed out by consensus.
The new award would work as follows: An editor would be nominated for an award, either by another editor, or by oneself. The nomination would go to a discussion, similar to other types of discussions that are held on Wikipedia. Other editors would comment with either "support", "oppose," or other similar headings, along with an explanation of why the nominated editor should or should not receive the award. After several days, the discussion would be concluded with the editor either being awarded or not awarded.
Some examples of what awards could be offered for include but are not limited to creation of one or more articles, improvements to existing article(s), finding sources for uncited information, organizing information, de-orphaning article(s), rescuing article(s) from deletion, performing tedious edits, fighting vandalism, resolving disputes peacefully, or anything miscellaneous.
I have not come up with a name for such an award yet. I am first trying to see if anyone likes my idea. Sebwite ( talk) 00:49, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Just so everyone can have an idea of what it would be like, I provided the details of my proposal here. I would still prefer for the discussion to remain in its current location. Sebwite ( talk) 00:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I spend most of my time in userspace and mainspace, so I'm very confused about this. I created a "Portal Barnstar" which was removed by an editor here who used a cryptic edit summary. When I noticed the deletion, I tried to discuss it with the user, but found out that they are blocked indefinitely, so I reverted the deletion. I eventually tracked down Wikipedia:Barnstars_2.0 and discovered that there is an entry for "Portal Barnstar", but it uses my barnstar image credited as having been thought up and created by third parties. The page itself only dates from November, but the false credit under my barnstar says that the barnstar was created in June. I just honestly don't know what happened here, but it looks like a tangle of several errors.

I very much regret that the most visible flag of the country, which made for less than all the victories. At the same time a symbol of the country, has put tremendous efforts to achieve victory over fascism, modestly drawn in the corner of the image ... But how many have shed their blood and Russian, and other peoples of the USSR ... We need only recall the legendary battle of Stalingrad, when a group of people whom the world thought vanquished fought for incineration ruins. They fought a life and death. They did not care at that time the Nazis in Berlin celebrated the victory over the Russian, the defenders of Stalingrad absolutely did not care and that Hitler considered them only as a temporary problem. They are there in Stalingrad, destroying the troops Nazis, who outnumbered the number of Russian dozens of times! But the Russian fought for the Motherland. And the Russian won! The whole world could not believe it ... And then our troops have liberated their country first, and then liberated Eastern Europe. After that, the Russian army captured Berlin. At that time, our troops seized the capital of the country that had recently terrorized us, Hitler shot himself in the bunker. How much suffering was inflicted on our already-suffering people, how much suffering borne and other peoples of the USSR ... This is one of the most horrible things in the history of Russia. But soon Russia will celebrate the anniversary - 1200 years since the founding of our country ... Almost every family in our country have been killed in the war. I also have relatives who perished ... And what did for the U.S. victory? I write all this not to cause your pity. I am writing this and not to offend the American people. I write all this just to make you understand: it's not even an insult - it's a shame when other people forget these things. Very sorry, when the country has made so little for the victory over fascism, attributes her victory, for which my forefathers shed their blood so much ... I beg your pardon for incorrectly spelling suggestions - I do not know much English, and therefore forced to use inernet translator. But most importantly, I hope you understand ... -- 92.124.7.51 ( talk) 14:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I spend most of my time in userspace and mainspace, so I'm very confused about this. I created a "Portal Barnstar" which was removed by an editor here who used a cryptic edit summary. When I noticed the deletion, I tried to discuss it with the user, but found out that they are blocked indefinitely, so I reverted the deletion. I eventually tracked down Wikipedia:Barnstars_2.0 and discovered that there is an entry for "Portal Barnstar", but it uses my barnstar image credited as having been thought up and created by third parties. The page itself only dates from November, but the false credit under my barnstar says that the barnstar was created in June. I just honestly don't know what happened here, but it looks like a tangle of several errors.
TL;DR:

Honoring those who have been indefinitely blocked on Wikipedia for productive, reasonable and well intentioned efforts conducted in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. (per discussion) |
I would like to create a barnstar by which we can recognize users whom we feel have been improperly hit with indefinite blocks for good editing. I think the major class of these is made up of COI editors who are improperly treated. I've given it an invariant text (the first section) in the hope that it won't be diluted by those giving it out to people who simply weren't so bad, rather than those who are truly innocent. The variable section can then be used to cite evidence or argument.

Yes, Antonu and HellKnows, and I find my concern about that misplaced. The WIkicomons FAQ confirms that "You don't have to worry about server disk space and the loadtime of the Wikipedia pages that refer to them, since the software automatically generates and caches smaller (as specified in the articles) versions." I am not sure we've reached consensus on the revised Userpage barnstar, but as for the rest, I assume that Antonu could simply replace the existing images at Wikicommons; the Wikicommons FAQ page says how.

As you probably know, the LGBT Barnstar selection criteria reads as follows:
The LGBT Barnstar is awarded to editors who make significant contributions that expand Wikipedia’s knowledge about homosexuality, bisexuality, transexuality, LGBT life and culture, notable LGBT people, events and movements, sociological issues, and population statistics.
The three things I bolded have the potential to carry politically charged content. Thanks to the prodigious noisemaking of the LGBT community, many issues, including the definition of homophobia, have been heavily and in many cases irreversably politicized, but to omit them would be to omit notable content. Is this an issue? If so, how should we deal with it?
Just thinking out loud here. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 16:03, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking we should delete content rather than add it. True, we will end up omitting potentially notable information, but like I said the LGBT community is trying to politicize everything and we must be very adamant about NPOV even if it does mean ignoring some things. I believe the relevant barnstar should be repurposed to exclude materials particularly suceptible to POV, or at least a policy implemented that allows the award to be revoked if the neutrality of any of that user's edits is disputed or confirmed to be POV. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 00:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Revivify? Is that even a word? Anyway, I probably was a little "strong" there, but still LGBT is one of the most politically charged subjects facing the world today and if nothing else we must be extra vigilant against POV materials. I just saw potential POVness and thought that if the guy giving the barnstar wasn't careful he could end up praising someone for potential POV material - it's hard to tell what's POV and what's not in that field. Icanhasaccount ( talk) 20:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I oppose the repurposing of the barnstar by removal of LGBT-related scope on the basis that LGBT have a strong opinion. The award is for editors and not LGBT; it is irrelevant if LGBT is controversial or not. — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 23:00, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

The pedagogy barnstar would be awarded for taking existing content on Wikipedia and restructuring it to have higher pedagogical value, that is, helping it achieve comprehension in a greater number of user minds, or lowering the barrier to understanding. Not "dumbing stuff down" via deletion of detail, but rather conveying the same amount of information but more effectively. Kind of analogous to how the computer mouse and the GUI let people use the same kinds of apps as they'd already used, but more effectively and intuitively. This inevitably overlaps with usability or user interface design, but it could also just be via smart editing. It is "making Wikipedia's content easier to digest," and the common theme of the instances is pedagogical improvement. — ¾-10 22:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I know there are barnstars for time and edits on Wikipedia, but I also think there should be barnstars for users based solely on time with Wikipedia. For instance, I've been with Wikipedia for more than four years, but I've only made around 170 edits. I think users like me should get an award based on our time.
For instance:
Barnstar 1... 0-1 years
Barnstar 2... 1-2 years
Barnstar 3... 2-3 years
Barnstar 4... 3-4 years
Barnstar 5... 4-5 years
Barnstar 6... 5+ years

There are so many religions out there, and there have only been a selection that are barnstars. It would be silly to create a barnstar for each and every one of them, so why not have a religion barnstar for them all? Also, some people may not just work on a single religion, so getting a barnstar for each religion would clog up his/her page. -- Richard Talk Contribs 16:52, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I've posted a Happy Holidays card as a Personal User Award, since that seems the only appropriate place for what amounts to Santa's congratulations for being nice and not naughty. I think we should create a separate Greeting Card page though. A card is a different kind of pat on the back than an award. Thoughts? ElijahBosley (talk ☞) 15:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Barnstars are nice, and I do not propose abolishing them. But I do think it would be nice to introduce a new type of award that overcomes the issues I am about to describe.
The problem with barnstars is that anyone can award them to anyone. And likewise, anyone can fail to award them to anyone. An editor who does something of minor importance that is liked by one person can get a barnstar. And an editor can make many major valuable contributions and get zero recognition from others.
I do not believe people award of fail to award them in bad faith. It's just that not everyone knows about them or is active in looking out for those who deserve them. And since there is no guideline other than anyone to anyone, people have varying ideas of who is deserving of one.
Here is my idea to solve that problem: To create a new award that is handed out by consensus.
The new award would work as follows: An editor would be nominated for an award, either by another editor, or by oneself. The nomination would go to a discussion, similar to other types of discussions that are held on Wikipedia. Other editors would comment with either "support", "oppose," or other similar headings, along with an explanation of why the nominated editor should or should not receive the award. After several days, the discussion would be concluded with the editor either being awarded or not awarded.
Some examples of what awards could be offered for include but are not limited to creation of one or more articles, improvements to existing article(s), finding sources for uncited information, organizing information, de-orphaning article(s), rescuing article(s) from deletion, performing tedious edits, fighting vandalism, resolving disputes peacefully, or anything miscellaneous.
I have not come up with a name for such an award yet. I am first trying to see if anyone likes my idea. Sebwite ( talk) 00:49, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Just so everyone can have an idea of what it would be like, I provided the details of my proposal here. I would still prefer for the discussion to remain in its current location. Sebwite ( talk) 00:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I spend most of my time in userspace and mainspace, so I'm very confused about this. I created a "Portal Barnstar" which was removed by an editor here who used a cryptic edit summary. When I noticed the deletion, I tried to discuss it with the user, but found out that they are blocked indefinitely, so I reverted the deletion. I eventually tracked down Wikipedia:Barnstars_2.0 and discovered that there is an entry for "Portal Barnstar", but it uses my barnstar image credited as having been thought up and created by third parties. The page itself only dates from November, but the false credit under my barnstar says that the barnstar was created in June. I just honestly don't know what happened here, but it looks like a tangle of several errors.
TL;DR:

I was just looking through
Category:Barnstar award templates and the various barnstar lists looking for a barnstar for someone who works at TfD, finding templates that don't fit the scope of Wikipedia as well as giving their input in discussions. There's one such barnstar for AfD, but none for the other XfD processes. Since I don't have a photo editor and don't really have experience designing barnstars, I'm just gonna go ahead and propose it here...

I very much regret that the most visible flag of the country, which made for less than all the victories. At the same time a symbol of the country, has put tremendous efforts to achieve victory over fascism, modestly drawn in the corner of the image ... But how many have shed their blood and Russian, and other peoples of the USSR ... We need only recall the legendary battle of Stalingrad, when a group of people whom the world thought vanquished fought for incineration ruins. They fought a life and death. They did not care at that time the Nazis in Berlin celebrated the victory over the Russian, the defenders of Stalingrad absolutely did not care and that Hitler considered them only as a temporary problem. They are there in Stalingrad, destroying the troops Nazis, who outnumbered the number of Russian dozens of times! But the Russian fought for the Motherland. And the Russian won! The whole world could not believe it ... And then our troops have liberated their country first, and then liberated Eastern Europe. After that, the Russian army captured Berlin. At that time, our troops seized the capital of the country that had recently terrorized us, Hitler shot himself in the bunker. How much suffering was inflicted on our already-suffering people, how much suffering borne and other peoples of the USSR ... This is one of the most horrible things in the history of Russia. But soon Russia will celebrate the anniversary - 1200 years since the founding of our country ... Almost every family in our country have been killed in the war. I also have relatives who perished ... And what did for the U.S. victory? I write all this not to cause your pity. I am writing this and not to offend the American people. I write all this just to make you understand: it's not even an insult - it's a shame when other people forget these things. Very sorry, when the country has made so little for the victory over fascism, attributes her victory, for which my forefathers shed their blood so much ... I beg your pardon for incorrectly spelling suggestions - I do not know much English, and therefore forced to use inernet translator. But most importantly, I hope you understand ... -- 92.124.7.51 ( talk) 14:59, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

The Indefinite Barnstar | |
Honoring those who have been indefinitely blocked on Wikipedia for productive, reasonable and well intentioned efforts conducted in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. (per discussion) |
I would like to create a barnstar by which we can recognize users whom we feel have been improperly hit with indefinite blocks for good editing. I think the major class of these is made up of COI editors who are improperly treated. I've given it an invariant text (the first section) in the hope that it won't be diluted by those giving it out to people who simply weren't so bad, rather than those who are truly innocent. The variable section can then be used to cite evidence or argument.
Of course, like any barnstar, this is an individual decision that some may disagree with. Wnt ( talk) 08:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
