Proposal: Sex Work Barnstar[edit]

Barnstar 2.0 or alternate version
((subst:Template:Sex Work Barnstar|1=message ~~~~)) Sex Work Barnstar

The Sex Work Barnstar may be awarded to editors who've made significant contributions to Sex Work task force-related articles.

The barnstar will be hosted at Sex work task force. Demt1298 (talk) 02:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Demt1298 I like it. I wanted to make some adjustments though; make the umbrella bigger, tamper with the color, and add a shadow for a more 3D look and better visibility overall. I also made a version that better correlates with the userbox I created for the task force, but I haven't uploaded it. Jerium (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jerium Please make the adjustments to it in commons and then put the new version here. I will appreciate the assistance. Demt1298 (talk) 16:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298 About that, I would need your white barnstar just by itself, so I can make the changes on the umbrella without effecting the star. Jerium (talk) 17:02, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jerium I used File:White Barnstar Hires.svg on commons.Demt1298 (talk) 17:14, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thnx, and this was my version. Jerium (talk) 17:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298 File:White Barnstar Hires.svg doesn't look like the barnstar you used, so I had to make my own white barnstar. I uploaded a test file, but I'm personally not happy with it. Jerium (talk) 17:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jerium I might have used an altered version of it from Power point. 18:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC) Demt1298 (talk) 18:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298 Not an issue, but I think we should just stick with yours, it's still better. I also added my pink alternative version in the template. Jerium (talk) 18:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jerium I saw that. I think it is a good idea to have the alternate. My original version is on my home computer. Let me see if I can make the adjustments you recommended and then I will see what you think! Demt1298 (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298, I've updated the test file. If you don't see the changes, click on the barnstar file for comparison from the previous upload. I'm satisfied with this new upload. Jerium (talk) 22:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298 What are your thoughts on the current test file? I would like to upload the test file on your version (overwrite), but I won't do it without consulting you first. Jerium (talk) 18:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JeriumI am working on one with the star I used but your concepts of bigger umbrella and shadows. I should complete it tonight and then we can compare. Demt1298 (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Jerium Look at the pic now. I made it bigger and added shadowing. Demt1298 (talk) 00:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Demt1298 looks awesome, much better than mine. Jerium (talk) 01:09, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone ever given themselves a barnstar?[edit]

Just curious. Not that I'm going to do it. JM (talk) 08:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve seen it, and I think it’s really pathetic. I’m annoyed by it so much that I would propose a guideline to prevent such a thing, but such a proposal would be considered equally pathetic and pointless. There’s no harm in awarding yourself but the feeling is not truly satisfying. Jerium (talk) 09:28, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not a barnstar, but I once gave myself a Silver Wiki after I organized a contest on Wikimedia Commons but was one of only two or three participants. Not so much an award as it is a reminder why I've never organized a Commons contest since. - ZLEA T\C 15:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the end, people just want to be recognized and appreciated for the their efforts, no matter how irrelevant another individual might perceive it to be. Jerium (talk) 20:06, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

award request[edit]

CactiStaccingCrane made a badge award system for WikiProject Unreferenced articles. As I'm not a member of this WikiProject, is anyone opposed to awarding Cacti ((The Barnstar Barnstar)) for this work? The awards will be newly-given for an upcoming backlog drive. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chris troutman Go ahead, there's no rules on how and why on awarding someone. Plus, the editor was willing to put in the effort. Jerium (talk) 21:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two designs I have in mind[edit]

A barnstar for a user who really deserves two
A barnstar for users who work on fruit-related articles or Wikiprojects

JustAnotherUndertaleFrantic -- Talk 21:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JustAnotherUndertaleFrantic I have thought of making two separate barnstars for fruits and vegetables. I'll probably make those at a later time though. As for the double barnstar, a more distinguishable criteria would need to be applied if you wanted it to be included @WP:BARN. Jerium (talk) 14:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
what about for the double barnstar:
A barnstar for users who work on lists  ?
or
A barnstar for users who work on series-related articles (book, movie, album, etc.)  ?

Proposal: Appalachia Barnstar[edit]

Image What to type Title and description
Barnstar 2.0 or alternate version
((subst:Template:Appalachia Barnstar|1=message ~~~~)) Appalachia Barnstar

The Appalachia Barnstar may be awarded to editors who've made significant contributions to Appalachia-related articles.

The barnstar will be hosted at Wikipedia:WikiProject Appalachia. The design purposefully does not use the base barnstar design as a reflection of Appalachia's regional barnstar variant (the quilt star). Dionysius Millertalk 13:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dionysius Miller The design of a barnstar must conform with WP:B2G guidelines, however, there are no guidelines preventing you from hosting your own design at another WikiProject (such as WikiProject Appalachia), so no one here is preventing you from doing so.
