Barnstars

Barnstars are a Wikipedia tradition where editors reward each other for a job well done. Any user can award a barnstar by going to Wikipedia:Barnstars and copying one from the list, then delivering the barnstar at the recipient editor's talk page. The Original Barnstar I, HAJARS, hereby award you this barnstar which you deserve for your excellent work (so far) on the Joan of Arc article, improving the text while facing fierce opposition from two particular editors. The Barnstar of Diligence I, George Miller Award you the Barnstar of Diligence for your work tweaking and improving my article on the Photosynthetic reaction centre and for your fantastic encouragement which spurred me on to improve the article.

Navou banter / contribs 16:53, 29 March 2007 (UTC) The Original Barnstar Hey Durova, it's my privilege to award you this barnstar for all your hard work and perseverance in developing community enforceable mediation, and for your contributions in general and your dedication to the project. SlimVirgin (talk) 06:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC) The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar For all your hard work on Wikipedia, across all namespaces, and for being a great admin! Keep the good work up! SunStar Net talk 09:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC) The Surreal Barnstar For resolving complex BLP issues, including the deletion of a problematic article on the 14th AfD nomination. Jehochman Talk 23:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC) What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar I, VanTucky, award you, Durova, this Brilliant Idea Barnstar for founding Category:Eguor admins, which works to combat the feelings of a "sysop cabal" in Wikipedia (especially my own). VanTucky 17:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC) The Mighty Defender of the Wiki Barnstar After seeing and reading SEO Tips & Tactics From A Wikipedia Insider (found via the Signpost), I am awed at a contribution that will serve to educate professionals to aid Wikipedia rather than harm it. As such, I feel that you deserve this Defender of the Wiki barnstar. :) Thank you. Nihiltres(t.l) 21:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC) The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar for continually lending a helping hand to all those who come to your user page seeking help and for always providing options and solutions. --Maniwar (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC) The Editor's Barnstar For helping to promote excellent editing with your Triple crown, I bestow upon you this barnstar. Use it well, Your Imperial Majesty :) — H2O —  07:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC) The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar Many thanks for your tireless efforts in keeping those who intend to disrupt, off this project. Wikipedia is a better quality project because of hardworking and conscientious editors like you! Hu12 (talk) 20:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC) The Resilient Barnstar You've earned this many times over.MONGO (talk) 04:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC) The Barnstar of Diligence Awarded to Durova for her recognition of transparency and oversight. Rather than being a hothead admin and banning people based on whim, she opened herself to ridicule and attack by discussing a block on ANI on or around 17 November 2007. This selfless action improves the integrity and ethics of wikipedia as well as being a good reflection on her character. Chergles (talk) 20:01, 20 November 2007 (UTC) The Resilient Barnstar After what happened the last few days, I award you this star for keeping a cool head, remaining civil, and being honorable about the whole situation. Acalamari 21:47, 26 November 2007 (UTC) The Resilient Barnstar For exceptional class, professionalism when none was due, and dedication to the project through everything: I, Mercury , give you the The Resilient Barnstar Mercury 22:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC) Seconded. IvoShandor (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC) The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar Many thanks for your tireless efforts in keeping those who intend to disrupt, off this project. Wikipedia is a better quality project because of hardworking and conscientious editors like you! Wikipedia has not become that significant due to "perfect editors" but due to good intentions by its contributors. Your hard work, defending Wikipedia and its aims was and hopefully is in future much appreciated! -- Stan talk 22:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC) The Resilient Barnstar I’m of the opinion that the RfAr is needless drama. I mean, this RfAr is sailing through faster than BADSITES did, and it was only hours after your RfC. If we had an RfAr for every time an admin made a bad mistake, we’d be swamped. It disgusts me how many people are goading you for one mistake, and I’m surprised you haven’t tired of the crap and left. If it comes to an RfA, you have my axe, and not in your back. Will (talk) 10:10, 27 November 2007 (UTC) The Resilient Barnstar For enduring a press firestorm, like Joan at her stake. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 22:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC) The Patience Barnstar If for nothing else, that you haven't snapped and bitten off anyone's head given how absurd this has all been. I probably would have! Lawrence Cohen 16:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC) The Saints' Star One of the things that is often credited to saints is having the "patience of a saint" and displaying a remarkably humble disposition. Anyone who would be willing to withdraw their adminship voluntarily in the first place and also civilly respond to the criticism you have received since then has I think demonstrated both of those characteristics. John Carter (talk) 14:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC) The Cross-Stitched Barnstar I am proud to present you with this cross-stitched barnstar for racking up DYKs and generally soldiering on in Wikipedia:WikiProject Textile Arts. - PKM (talk) 08:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC) The Special Barnstar You are a very brave and wise person. ("The Special Barnstar may be awarded to a user as a gesture of appreciation...") With best wishes, IZAK (talk) 10:57, 23 January 2008 (UTC) The Photographer's Barnstar For making many excellent cleanups and rescues of old pictures that would never have otherwise been considered for FP. Keep up the good work! Clegs (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC) The Photographer's Barnstar For your work on restoring historic images, I award you this barnstar.-- Muhammad(talk) 08:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC) The Barnstar of Diligence For recognizing a star in me while many other did not see it, and for your support for WP:SEI which already captured an abuser. Thank you, Igor Berger (talk) 09:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC) The Red Barnstar For working selflessly to improve Palestinian costumes and bring it up to GA status, as well as for your efforts to improve the general editing environment in I-P related articles, I hereby award you this very apt barnstar, and hope you forgive me for anything I might have ever said that may have offended you Tiamuttalk 14:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC) The Red Barnstar You deserve this for a million reasons, and it would be insulting to name a few at the expense of the others. David Shankbone 04:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC) The 24 Wikiproject Barnstar For your great help on Martha Logan, I award you th 24 Barnstar :) Thanks a lot Durova :D Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 07:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia Motivation Award This is for the Triple Crown idea, which has motivated and united all sorts of users in the goal of article creation. Well Done. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC) The Original Barnstar Nice job on "Robert Fulton submarine design" Becky Sayles (talk) 00:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)  The WikiChevrons  I would like to award you the Military History project's WikiChevrons award for your work in restoring many historic images of value to the project to featured picture standard. Nick Dowling (talk) 10:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC) The Photographer's Barnstar Awarded to Durova for her incredible work at promoting FPs. Also for her landmark images page at which i have found two new featured picture candidates. Thanks Durova. --Meldshal 17:45, 11 August 2008 (UTC) WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves In recognition of your exemplary work on military history featured pictures, sounds, and articles. For the coordinators, TomStar81 (Talk) 21:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC) The Barnstar of Good Humor I just wanted to give this to you because of your consistent hard work at WP:FPC and for giving us critics something fascinating and sometimes totally random so often! Intothewoods29 (talk) 20:44, 15 August 2008 (UTC) All Around Amazing Barnstar Because you have so many featured things, work well in featured sounds, are great to talk to about anything Wikipedia and are basically an all round good egg, I proudly give you this. Garden. 10:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC) The Photographer's Barnstar 116 featured pics on this server alone? You obviously deserve this. A job well done, and keep up the good work! --Dylan620 Contribs Sign! 02:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC) The Tireless Contributor Barnstar Upon aimlessly browsing your userspace, I was struck by the sheer quantity of contributions you make to this—and other WMF—projects. For your hard work each and every day, your efforts in achieving "featured" status on Wikipedia assets of a number of different types, and your consistent warmth both here and on Skype, I award you the "Tireless Contributor Barnstar." Please accept the decoration as a small token of appreciation! (Oh, and I do maintain that you have been one of the project's most competent administrators to date. :-)) My best regards, AGK 23:18, 27 December 2008 (UTC) The WikiProject Barnstar For your extensive contributions to the Military history WikiProject, as evidenced by your nomination in the 2008 "Military Historian of the Year" awards, I am delighted to present you with this WikiProject Barnstar --ROGER DAVIES talk 03:56, 12 January 2009 (UTC) The Excellent Userpage Award Durova, your user page is amazing! Johnfos (talk) 20:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC) The Original Barnstar Thank you, for going above and beyond by going with me through the 450 edits of that IP to locate and delete that sneaky citation vandalism. Without you, the college student who tries to use Wikipedia for one of its greatest purposes – looking up useful journals and reference books – would be in a lot of trouble. Truly, you deserve this.
