WikiProject Pink Floyd Barnstar
I'd like to suggest a Barnstar for those who have helped improve Pink Floyd-related articles through WikiProject Pink Floyd. I have two ideas for what this might look like:
The Pink Floyd Barnstar | ||
Example No. 1 --Friginator (talk) 18:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC) |
The Pink Floyd Barnstar | ||
Example No. 2 --Friginator (talk) 18:16, 29 September 2010 (UTC) |
- This could be a fine Pink Floyd project award. I prefer the second, pink one, to the first. The rainbow effect recurs in the Special Barnstar and the LBGT Barnstar. Both images are very nicely drawn. ElijahBosley (talk ☞) 19:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
- I too prefer the second one due to its pink shade. --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 04:04, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Err, the clear take off from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon for the first is (and can only be) the right Pink Floyd barnstar ... well, unless you want one related to The Wall instead? Perhaps a Pig on the Wing? The barnstar and the prismatic effect is excellent. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 17:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm thinking that most Pink Floyd fans would prefer a Dark Side of the Moon barnstar, and honestly I think I did a better job on that one. I'm personally a bigger fan of the Wall, so that's part of the reason I made the second one. I thought about one with the Pink Floyd pig on it, but couldn't figure out how to incorporate it aesthetically. Friginator (talk) 16:00, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- IMHO, if you wanted a Wall version, I would use the Wall background, and use the same "font" as the sticker usually affixed to the album cover, draw a Star, and write "Pink Floyd Barnstar" or something like that. That's my 2 cents. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm confident that 90% of Floyd fans would prefer the "Dark Side of the Moon" version. No one who follows Floyd will be confused, and we won't care if anyone else is. HuskyHuskie (talk) 08:29, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

The Editor's Barnstar Ribbon
Hi, I'd like some feedback on my version of The Editor's Barnstar's Textured Ribbon, since I've never made these things before. Here it is: File:EditorsBarnstarRibbon.png
Compare to User:VernoWhitney's ribbon for The Original Barnstar: File:Original Ribbon 2.png
Thanks. Guoguo12--Talk-- 14:16, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Personally, I'm a big fan of consistency (some even call me picky), so all of the ribbons I've created have been derived from existing ribbons so that the size and transparent borders and shadows and stripes match up. Given that, my feeling is rather "meh" (I have the same reaction to the option 2 service ribbons and EdChem's since they don't really match the existing ribbons). <shrug>
- My personal fussiness aside though, and since there's no ribbon there at the moment, I don't see anything wrong with going ahead and adding it to the table. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick reply. I have made a new ribbon using your ribbon for The Original Barnstar. Here it is: File:EditorsBarnstarRibbonB.png
- Better? Guoguo12--Talk-- 16:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- The second one fits in better with the other textured ribbons, so yeah, I like it better. ^_^ VernoWhitney (talk) 17:10, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Help ceate a star for WikiProject Disability
I'm asking for help as I am worse than useless at graphic design - I don't have the tools either! I would like to have a barnstar for WikiProject Disability. My idea is to place the international disability access symbol (File:Handicapped_Accessible_sign.svg) in the middle of a basic star. Is there anyone here who would like to volunteer to create it please? I hope is is ok to solicit such work here. Roger (talk) 15:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support the creation of this as a Topical Barnstar but I have to leave the artwork to others: I'm swamped right now.ElijahBosley (talk ☞) 16:30, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Done. Let me know if you'll need something else ;) Antonu (talk) 16:41, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Roger (talk) 17:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- I hate to bother you again but I'm making a complete mess of creating a template for it. What I'd like is a "box" that has the image on the left then the title "WikiProject Disability Barnstar" in heading text and a brief message saying that it is "Awarded to [Username] on [Date] for hard work and excellence in contributing to the Project".
- Thanks again for all your help. Roger (talk) 18:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Done. Simply use {{subst:The Disability Barnstar|message ~~~~}}. I'll be glad to help if you'll need something again :) Antonu (talk) 19:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Barnstars based on time with Wikipedia
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
Thanks, AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 03:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think so, because there can be a number of cases where users would have made 4-5 edits (sometimes vandalism) in 4-5 years. I don't think they deserve so. --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 04:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- AmericanXplorer13, at this time you have 191 edits in total in 4+ years. You are almost up to another Service Award. What about your time at Wikipedia that isn't recognised by Service Awards do you feel is barnstar-wothy? Barnstars and awards are generally about achievements or contributions, IMO. EdChem (talk) 04:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Extra, you make a valid point. This was just an idea for those members who don't really have many awards to show off. Ed, sorry, but I'm still working my way around I just now decided to get back involved with Wikipedia. I honestly thought that barnstars and service awards were the same thing. Oops... Thanks, AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 04:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- No problem, AmericanXplorer13. There are some achievement awards that are awarded semi-automatically (for 25, 50, ... WP:DYK contributions, or the WP:FOUR award or the Triple Crown). There are also some ribbons like these - for getting an article onto the main page at DYK, or to GA status, for example. Some editors also like to take on tasks from the Reward Board, were fulfilling editing tasks can 'earn' barnstars and the like. There is nothing wrong with looking to have contributions recognised, but unlike the time + edits formula of the Service Awards, all others (that I know of) are criterion-based or are like barnstars, recognition awarded by others at their discretion.

The Barnstar of Liberty Upgrade
Greetings colleagues! I propose to change old WP:HUMAN RIGHTS barnstar on new shining 2.0 star. What do you think about that idea?
- Upgrade. New looks more like freedom symbol. Antonu (talk) 08:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- Upgrade. Generally just like the new design better, gives it a more positive look. // Finns 18:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure I'm biased, but I prefer the Liberty Bell reference of the old one. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:05, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Upgrade as Alt 2.0 --Extra 999 (Contact me + contribs) 16:06, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Upgrade as alt per consensus in main 2.0 discussion. ~NerdyScienceDude 03:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Strongly Oppose this proposed change. This is NOT an upgrade, this is abandonment of one of the cleverest barnstars in the pantheon, with its inclusion of the Liberty Bell imagery. Don't change it! HuskyHuskie (talk) 08:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose ^^Same reason as HuskyHuskie^^ --RichardOwen97 (talk) 15:07, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose - I agree with HuskyHuskie, this is in no way an upgrade. You're dropping an existing and very impressive Barnstar for a bizarre new design. Nutiketaiel (talk) 16:14, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
New Small Ribbons
I created five small ribbons to be added to the current list:
Thanks! AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 02:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've added them to the tables at Wikipedia:Ribbons. VernoWhitney (talk) 03:34, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- You may want to have a look at the reward board offer from NielsenGW relating to ribbons, s/he may consider your contribution barnstar-worthy. :) EdChem (talk) 03:40, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Adding Barnstars to the Ribbon page
If there is a barnstar with no ribbon (Defender of the wiki barnstar), could I add it to the ribbon page myself if I attach a ribbon to it?
Is this okay or should I post it here and have someone here add it? AmericanXplorer13 (talk) 02:58, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Wiki Lei Barnstar
Hi, I've just added this barnstar to the Wikipedia:Personal user awards gallery page - I'm not sure if I'm supposed to get consensus first. Let me know if I do and I'll take it off and wait. Thank you. teinesaVaii (talk) 05:09, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- Personal user awards don't need a consensus. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 11:19, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oh good. Thanks for that! teinesaVaii (talk) 11:49, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
Barnstars 2.0 need help
Please help me improve description (the entry) and templates for those pages:

Barnstar proposal
I have just conceived and iota of an idea for a new barnstar; an award for cleaning up criticism on criticism sections of articles, or articles about it, like Criticism of Google, for example. —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 09:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Similar looking barnstars
These two barnstars are very similar:
The What a Brilliant Idea! Barnstar
I suggest the technology one should be replaced with another picture depicting a range of tech stuff or the idea one to be replaced with a thinking bubble with a exclamation mark (!). --RichardOwen97 (talk) 14:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Brilliant Idea one was recently replaced. I have no issue with replacing Technology with something more "technological". — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:04, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Replaced with what? --RichardOwen97 (talk) 15:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- If you look at File:"What_a_Brilliant_Idea!"_Barnstar.png you can see both the current version and the older one it replaced. The older one was not as nice but was along similar lines to the current image. EdChem (talk) 15:16, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- Replaced with what? --RichardOwen97 (talk) 15:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Here is an idea for the technology barnstar with the binary code. I know I'm not good at it, just an idea that popped into mind. --RichardOwen97 (talk) 15:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
