Barnstars
[edit]Barnstars are used on Wikipedia to reward users who make outstanding contributions in a particular area. To give someone an award, all you have to do, is copy the code from the table onto the talk page of the person you want to give the award to, and tell them why you have given it to them. There are many types of barnstar to choose from; if you are sure your choice is appropriate - don't be shy!
WikiProject awards
[edit]A WikiProject's award is awarded for substantial contributions towards a particular WikiProject.

Other related awards
[edit]Other related awards, In addition to barnstars, there are several other awards as well. While barnstars are generally reserved for a long-standing pattern of excellence, the following awards are more often given to honor specific actions or events.
Personal user awards
[edit]In the Personal user awards there is a wide range of awards to chose from, from the "Golden Wiki" award, for users who have made outstanding contributions, to the "Son of Jimbo" award, for users with the last name "Wales". So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude?
Service awards
[edit]Service awards may be self-awarded dependent upon number of contributions and the length of service.
These are also "tests" so don't take them "seriously"
[edit]Barnstars
[edit]Barnstars are listed in chronological order, that is, in the order in which they were introduced to the English Wikipedia. Please add any new Barnstars to the bottom of the appropriate section.
General Barnstars
[edit]General Barnstars are awarded for work or contributions that do not fall into a specific Wikipedia category, but instead that describe contributions or editing along a specific theme.

Adoption
[edit]I have a fairly strict adoption program in which, in order to graduate, you will eventually have to create an article and get it promoted to at least B-class. This program will start with the very basics, more as a way for me to gauge your level of "wiki-literacy", than pose any real challenge. The tasks will be given at User:Drew R. Smith/Adoption/Porkchop28. You should probably watchlist this so you know when I have updated it with the next challenge.
As your adopter, I will be watching your contributions closely. If you get in a tight spot, I will help you if you are right. If you are wrong, I will merely deflect some of the criticism (a little criticism is always a good thing), and point out your errors. I will never be a shield, and you must never attempt to use me as a sheild.
If this is what you want, reply either here, or at my talkpage, and I will set up your first task at the above mentioned page.Drew Smith What I've done 20:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- And P.S., you may want to make a subpage for, or archive, these tests. They're cluttering up your page man!Drew Smith What I've done 20:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
This is what I want. How do you make an archive
Just Reminding You...
[edit]Nsomeone21 already has a welcome and all because your edit is more graphic doesn't mean you can welcome him twice! Programmer13 (talk) 14:50, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks!
[edit]Thanks for the Barnstar! I've been working on the my user page. I guess hard work pays off! Hey, I found out you were adopted by Drew R. Smith! Programmer13 (talk) 15:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
