Dude, what's your problem!!! You're the only one who objected to this in the first place. Besides, this barnstar has been out for a week, and already awarded to numerous users. Changing the image will change all of the given awards, unless everyone used (subst), which is going to cause major problems. And there was consensus, because no one, except for you, and South Philly (Gray Porpoise still supported the idea) opposed the image. --Ed 17:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yo, Ed, take a deep breath - this isn't personal. As you said, in your last sentence - I'm not the only one who objected. If you toss out the sockpuppet voter, and those people who were supportive of the award, but not the design, there was no consensus.
The award was posted on August 2, on August 3, I moved it to the PUA page. You happened to make the move while I was travelling, otherwise I would have commnetd on 8/2. I support the award, but not the image. In July, I recommended it get approved as a PUA because of the lack of support and the lack of consensus. If you want to see an idea with real support, look at the TV. award. The Islamic Award was given out before it was even posted to this page. People can do that if they want to. I think if we are going to list it here, we should hold out for a better image. --evrik 18:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments on the votes
The original Islamic Barnstar was introduced and designed by Irishpunktom. That version was clearly rejected. The new version {{IslamicBarnstar}} was introduced and designed by me. Acceptance for the idea - the Islamic Barnstar Award - as well as the current design has been accepted. --JuanMuslim 1m 19:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Compromise

Medical barnstar

Medicine is a major part of Wikipedia, having tens of thousands of articles, but has no award. It falls awkwardly between Science and Life. It may not be suitable as a barnstar, but if not chosen for that, I'm sure WikiProject Medicine wouldn't mind having this as a WikiProject award. smurrayinchester(User), (Talk) 15:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Have you seen this?
The Encephalon Cross for commendable contributions to medical articles.

TV/Radio Barnstar

I think that there are enough television and radio articles to warrant a barnstar meant for extraordinary contributions to television and radio. This proposal would be used by WikiProjects Television and Radio (plus any subprojects, like Television Stations).

I have also uploaded an image that is my first proposal (or rough idea) of the Barnstar. -TrackerTV 02:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Support--I still support #4.Transcendentalstate 18:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems mostly that way, although my personal opinion has not changed. --Gray Porpoise 19:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Railroad Barnstar


These are two concepts for a barnstar for rail-related articles. EASports 19:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Barnstar

Mediation Barnstar, created by Sango123

I noticed that Cabalists, Mediators and Arbitrators do an awful lot of work on Wikipedia, and they hardly get any recognition. I thought we ought to roll out a barnstar in their honor. I approached Sango123 to ask her if she would design the barnstar, seeing as I am no good at design. So, she came up with this.

It would be awarded to Cabalists, Mediators and Arbitrators who do an excellent job on a specific job, or just a great job in general. Tell me what you think!

  • You need support from the Wikiproject first. And please sign your comments.--Ed 13:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I thought the fact that I signed my name in the frame would have been enough. And I have support from my Wikiproject, including most active members and the other co-ordinator. I don't know the next step from here, thuogh. Killfest2Daniel.Bryant 05:57, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • You must add a link from this page to the discussion you had with the project's active members. As long as we have evidence of a project's approval, it can become a Wikiproject award.--Ed 13:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Another discussion just began on the link above. I put that there for simplicity. I still need your discussion with your other friends right below that link.--Ed 15:07, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose didn't we already support a soccer award? --South Philly 01:24, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The A-League project is distinct and has its own community. See no reason not to have a new barnstar. -- Wantok 01:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no problem with an A-League only barnstar. It looks good and a lot of people do edit a lot of A-league stuff so why not. -- Boltonfan22

Esperanza Barnstar

Support of Esperanza

This is for those Esperanzans who go out of there way to spread the spirit of Hope and Wikilove to which the Project stands for. Esperansa is one of the most active and outgoing projects on Wikipedia and members of said project do many many great things here. This would most likey if approved go in the PUA catergory.

Other Discussions on this Topic: See Esperanza for the discussion on their barnstar.

User:Leroyencyclopediabrown/Support Making it a PUA is a great idea, but there is a huge support from Esperanza, that there is a possibility for it becoming a WikiProject award.--Ed 15:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar Star

I am proposing a slight modification to the barnstar barnstar. In the existing image there is a black dot in the middle of the smaller star (most likely due to copying the image which changes transparent parts to black, if anyone knows how this can not be done please inform me). I have eliminated the spot, though it is a bit pixely if anyone can fix that, and I am proposing the switch here just in case there is any opposition. --WillMak050389 19:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
