A barnstar for those who put great effort into adding short descriptions onto articles?
I have a friend who does this a lot, I think there should be a barnstar for it.★Trekker (talk) 19:38, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Design idea: Similar to a normal barnstar but with short arms. - ZLEA T\C 19:43, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Freaking genius, I need this. He'll be so happy! :)★Trekker (talk) 20:06, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- I just made a potential design for this barnstar (see right). How's this for an initial design? Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 04:08, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Very cute!★Trekker (talk) 10:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! I guess that means that, if no one has any complaints pretty soon, we can implement this. My only question on the design whether this would count as a Barnstar 1.0 or a Barnstar 2.0, given its atypical design, but one that is still based on the Barnstar 2.0. Any thoughts? Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 18:46, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

- I fully support this proposal. I can't find any other barnstars in this domain that are anywhere near this specific, and this seems like a good use case for a barnstar, so I'm with this all the way. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 03:22, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- By the way, I love your use of a pen for your edit links. Very clever.★Trekker (talk) 10:56, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

- What would we call this barnstar? I called the image "Short Description Barnstar Hires" as a prototype name, but I still am not sure what anyone else would be interested in naming this. If anyone has any thoughts on this, please let me know! (I have no attachment to my prototype name, so any suggestions are welcome.) Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 18:46, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Unless anyone has anything else to add I feel like we should be able to add it now.★Trekker (talk) 10:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- @*Treker: Added. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 17:34, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
*Treker and Noah Kastin, I've created a new version of the Short Descriptions Barnstar. The most obvious change I've made is the color, as the original brown color might be mistaken for the Minor Barnstar. I've also down-sized the barnstar as the original kind of looks like a barnstar with a big center rather than short arms. I haven't uploaded the image as a new version of File:Short Description Barnstar Hires.png yet as I want to know what you think. - ZLEA T\C 21:09, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
- I like it, I think you're right that it's good that it won't be confused with the Minor Barnstar.★Trekker (talk) 08:34, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- I've uploaded the image as a new version of File:Short Description Barnstar Hires.png. - ZLEA T\C 21:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Looks good to me. I like this version better than my original design, so I'm happy for it to become the new official version of the barnstar. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 13:53, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- I've uploaded the image as a new version of File:Short Description Barnstar Hires.png. - ZLEA T\C 21:33, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
The Biography Barnstar
The Biography Barnstar | ||
This is a great barnstar but... a standardised white male icon can be problematic. There are, for instance, quite a few editors trying to address systemic bias by creating bios of women. Is it possible to create a parallel {{The Biography Barnstar-W}}? Grutness...wha? 03:42, 19 May 2019 (UTC) |
- @Grutness: I agree with your point that this barnstar is not equally representative of all subjects; this is historically why barnstars such as the Running Man and Working Man barnstars have become the Running Wikipedian and Working Wikipedian barnstars, respectively. However, as with said barnstars, I would far prefer that there be one barnstar with a single, gender-neutral icon and a parameter to modify the name to the gender of the subject (if such a parameter is necessary, which it may not be for this barnstar given that the problem with this barnstar is the icon, not the name) than that there be multiple barnstars serving the same purpose save for the gender in the barnstar. As such, since I'd like if we could have one barnstar that fits all genders, I'd like to propose that we simply change the barnstar image to the barnstar seen to the right of my post here. Please let me know what you think of simply changing the main Biography Barnstar to this. Thanks! Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 07:35, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- Not a bad idea, since it would save having, say, white man, white woman, black man, black woman, asian man, asian woman, etc etc etc variations. On the other hand, since there's a concerted effort being made on articles about women, a specifically female barnstar would make some sense. Grutness...wha? 11:36, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
- Given your point that there is indeed this effort (as is proven by Wikiproject Women), I agree that a barnstar specifically for this effort is most likely in order. However, there appears to be a precedent for creating individual barnstars, disassociated from the main star, where the topic of said barnstar has a concerted effort (see for example the music barnstar and the emo star, or the Barnstar of National Merit and the PRC Barnstar or even the Michigan barnstar). As such, I'd suggest that the barnstar for the effort on women's articles follow this trend and specifically be a topical barnstar for Wikiproject Women rather than being a derivative of the biography star, as being a derivative does not accurately represent what the star is being used for while being a Women project star likely would represent its usage more accurately.

Goddess Barnstar | ||
The Goddess Barnstar is given to those individuals who have helped reduce systemic bias by increasing the number or visibility of Wikipedia articles about women. |
Grutness...wha? 11:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- PS - I've mentioned this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women, so hopefully some of those involved in that project will add some input on the idea. Grutness...wha? 11:58, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Given that I can't find any official logo, catchphrase, or other visual or linguistic items that act as identifiers for the project, this could definitely work as a barnstar for the project. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 06:29, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Given that it's been over two weeks and there still hasn't been any feedback on this topic from WikiProject Women or from other editors of this project, I think it's safe to just implement the Goddess Barnstar now, so I'll go ahead and do that when I get a chance to do so. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 19:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- OK, done. Grutness, if you wouldn't mind looking at the Goddess Barnstar's entry at WP:Barnstars#Topical barnstars, I'd like to know what you think of it and if there's anything we should change. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 20:05, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 19:55, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I agree that the current image is somewhat lacking, but I see no reason to change it on gender or racial lines. PrussianOwl (talk) 04:36, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
An anti-Wikibullying barnstar
I was recently the victim of Wikibullying and another wikieditor stood up for me on more than one occasion. For this, I think it would be appropriate to create a barnstar dedicated to anti-Wikibullying. I don't have any design ideas, however, so I'm open to suggestions. Any thoughts on this idea? werewolf (talk) 02:44, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I think it is a decent idea.★Trekker (talk) 10:09, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- The base barnstar should be pink (but not breast cancer awareness pink to avoid confusion) as that is the color of Anti-Bullying Day. I'm not sure what the other features of the barnstar should be, though. - ZLEA T\C 12:15, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- How does pink with a shield icon over it (symbolically representing the awardee's defense of someone else) sound? Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 13:56, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I think this design sounds awesome.★Trekker (talk) 14:03, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Just drafted up a design (right). How does this look? Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 20:32, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- I like it, but maybe move the shield a tiny bit lower.★Trekker (talk) 21:14, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

- @*Treker: OK, I tried moving the shield a bit lower for you. How does it look now? (If this doesn't render properly, try clicking through to the barnstar on Commons and/or purging the page cache. Hopefully that should work.) Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 17:25, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Noah Kastin: I think it should be added now.★Trekker (talk) 18:00, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- @*Treker: Looks like Revirvlkodlaku added the barnstar to the list earlier, and I just made the template for it, so I think everything should be pretty good with this now. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 20:46, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, I thought it was completed. Does the image need to be updated on the Wikipedia:Barnstars page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Revirvlkodlaku (talk • contribs) 23:05, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

You don't need to update the image, as the new image was uploaded as a new version of the old file under the same name. - ZLEA T\C 23:24, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
- Awesome, thanks for the help, and sorry I'm still so new to all this :) werewolf (talk) 02:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
More project specific barnstars?
I think there should be more of these, there are many people who spend most of their time working on projects within a specific WikipediaProjects and I think it would be nice to have barnstars for those. I have a friend who does amazing jobs on horror fiction articles and I think he's really earned recognition for that. There are some peoject specific ones at Wikipedia:Barnstars 2.0/Awards by WikiProject but I think we can expand it.
- Some projects I think should have Barnstars
Among others. How do you feel?★Trekker (talk) 16:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- This reminded me to check, and it seems that Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism also lacks one. —PaleoNeonate – 16:54, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- These seem like a reasonably good idea. The first three and the last all seem to have project icons, so that should make things easier. I'm not sure how much time I or anyone else will have to design all of these barnstars, though, so if these could be prioritized somewhat, that would help for me at least in trying to figure out which ones to make first if I get a chance to do so. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 17:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- How do you make these?★Trekker (talk) 17:57, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- *Treker I use Adobe Photoshop. However, it's not free, and a popular alternative is GIMP. - ZLEA T\C 18:18, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
- @*Treker: I mostly use GraphicConverter—which is apparently pretty much free these days—to orient pictures, change their size, crop parts, adjust their colors, etc. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 18:53, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

New numismatics award
I created a new award for Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics. My plan is to replace the current barnstar with this and create other versions of the "WikiDollar" for more specific awards. - ZLEA T\C 23:41, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
- @ZLEA: I wouldn't mind this existing as a 1.0 version of the Numismatics barnstar, which currently doesn't have a 1.0 version. I'd be leery of replacing the 2.0 version, though, as 2.0 barnstars are supposed to hold to a set of standards so that they can all be easily identified as barnstars, and the WikiDollar conforms to none of these standards for 2.0 stars. However, like I said, if you'd like to implement this as the Numismatics Barnstar 1.0 (as 1.0 barnstars have no such strict standards), I'd be fine with that.
- Alternatively, if you're considering making a series of WikiDollars that 1) will span across many fields and 2) may be intended for things less grand than the "long-standing pattern of excellence" that barnstars are designed to be awarded for, you might consider simply introducing a new award type. Many already exist, and some (e.g. the WikiCookie) are already widely used, so you could definitely get a shot and making your WikiDollar something well-known, well-loved, and well-used even if you don't want it to exactly be for barnstar purposes.
- Let me know what you think of these ideas. I'd be happy to get your feedback on my suggestions for your idea.
- Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 14:19, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ideas, you're right, the WikiDollar isn't a barnstar, and prpbably shouldn't be treated as such. This should probably be listed at Wikipedia:Awards by WikiProject instead. - ZLEA T\C 17:06, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
- Haha, that image is hilarious. —PaleoNeonate – 18:13, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
