Portal:Harry Potter Barnstar

• 
  Proposal A
• 
  Proposal B
• 
  Proposal C

I have found several other portal barnstars such as Portal:Star Wars, Portal:World of Warcraft, Portal:Pokemon, therefore the creation of a Portal:Harry Potter Barnstar, should be made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpfan9374 (talk • contribs)

• • Support as a PUA. I was all for this as a WikiProject award but the designing seriously needs work. Michaelas10 (Talk) 09:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

• • That's fine, I just didn't have any idea.. or what could represent Harry Potter, a wizard hat, a scar, a wand, a time turner. But, sure, what do you propose the Portal:Harry Potter Barnstar include, as I am very interested with these barnstars..? - 19:32, December 22, 2006 - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpfan9374 (talk • contribs)

Would there be any way to use just the lightning-bolt scar image, maybe by placing it down the center of the barnstar? Badbilltucker 19:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Good Idea. We could simply use the original barnstar, and place a lightning bolt scar in the centre.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpfan9374 (talk • contribs)

• How about something like Barnstar B?--theblueflamingo^Speak 08:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• • Well I like Barnstar B, though I don't think it follows the 'barnstar design.' I think we need a barnstar for this WikiProject, although I am uncertain of the creation of a graphic. The Original Barnstar, with a lightning-bolt scar..? Hpfan9374 10:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

• • • I have now included a third proposal graphic, though I would like to make the scar bigger, and in the center of the barnstar. Hpfan9374 ^{( u t c w a g c s c r)}

• Oppose The images here need a lot of work. --evrik ^(talk) 20:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

• Neutral Designs need a lot of work, but I support this as a WikiProject award. ← ANAS ^Talk? 12:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I agree with both, evrik and Anas Salloum, they do need work, so we should discuss the colors, should it be the same color as The Original Barnstar award? And, then I can simply lay a lightning-bolt scar in the center of the new-color barnstar? - What are you thoughts on the design, they are now simply there as a promotional image, we need to create other designs, colors and variations of the barnstar.

• This proposal needs to develop or it will be archived. --evrik ^(talk) 21:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I like the 2.0 version the best. Also, could you be a bit more specific regarding the intended scope of the award. Is it intended for Hong Kong articles in general, or is it perhaps intended as the project award for Wikipedia:WikiProject Hong Kong? Badbilltucker 19:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Good question, Badbilltuker. It is intended for Hong Kong articles, for all wikipedians Jacklau96 8:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Personally split vote in half between 1.5 and 2.0. 21:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Other design(s) of the barnstar are welcome. --Jacklau96 04:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose as a barnstar. Would be more open to a WikiProject Award. --evrik ^(talk) 20:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree, it being a WikiProject award is more suitable. ← ANAS ^Talk? 12:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Okay, now this barnstar is for only WP:HK. --Jacklau96 09:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support - This is a good idea since our Wikiproject is pretty active. VegaDark 00:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support - active WikiProject deserving of a registered award. Johntex\^talk 03:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support Strongly. I know some people who deserve it. I think there could be a better image though. — Arjun 04:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support - It's a good way to reward the tireless effort of the WP:CFB General125 04:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - I have added an alternate image that was proposed at the WP:CFB talk page. Please consider it as well. --BigDT 05:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support award, prefer alternate image. Badbilltucker 16:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose both due to designing issues. I would support the alternative version as a WikiProject award but just in case the football would be color-corrected. Michaelas10 (Talk) 11:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral Support the concept as a WikiProject Award, don't like the design. --evrik ^(talk) 20:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral per evrik. ← ANAS ^Talk? 12:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support - I like it Corpx 14:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
• Some work needs to be done on the image or one of the two will be placed on the PUA page and the proposal will be archived. --evrik ^(talk) 21:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Text Barnstar

• Could a more "star-like" shape be generated? Perhaps by using a full Shift-JIS character set? --tjstrf talk 23:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Done., but I'm not so sure about the Shift-JIS thing. I suggest you contact Tra, who did most of the work. Oh, and I made it brown to reflect the original Barnstar. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 00:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• Support - I have created a different version of the barnstar, which reflects the original barnstar. Hpfan9374 02:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I prefer the original, as it is more clearer and has the hole in the middle. Good version, though... --AAA! ^(AAAA) 03:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I kinda like the 2nd one more, cuz it looks more like the original version. Dark Ermac 12:44, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I can't really see how it's like the original Barnstar. It's also a bit faint to see properly. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 13:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Like this:

  S
SSSSS
 SSS
S   S

In fact, I was originally going to use the '*' to make the text star, but it didn't turn out right.Dark Ermac 14:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• • Oh right. But the star is actually supposed to reflect the original Barnstar, not the text star. *Sigh*, I need some milk... --AAA! ^(AAAA) 22:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Neutral I'm not really sure what this award is trying to accomplish or why it is different from exisiting awards. --evrik ^(talk) 22:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I tried. I'm not too sure if i like it. if anyone wants me to modify it (colours, etc.) let me know - i couldn't find any. If there is already a neuroscience barnstar someone let me know. Looks better when its smaller, but im too tired to change it. thuglas^talk|edits 06:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar looks good, but what do you have to do to receive one? --AAA! ^(AAAA) 07:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Contribute to neuroscience or psychology/neuroscience articles. thuglas^talk|edits 14:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... my advice is to photoshop the original Barnstar and add the other effects on it aswell to give it that special look (As you can see with the other barnstars). --AAA! ^(AAAA) 22:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually I was thinking the exact same thing this morning, when i took a look at the purple heart barn star. I'll do that right away. thuglas^talk|edits 01:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I changed it to the original barn star, made it the proper size, made the dendrites and axons much more clear by adding some stroke stroke. Thanks for the feedback AAA, I would have given up on it, and now i really like it. thuglas^talk|edits 02:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome! Another piece of advice is you should upload it to Commons, so it can be used all around Wikimedia. And maybe make those sparks around the star blue like on the original one (I find that easier to see). Oh, and one more thing, Support. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 06:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

There. I'll re-size them if we figure out which one will be used. - im not really sure why my images are going into the other posts... if someone could help it would be great. thuglas^talk|edits 15:11, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

What I meant was, keep the Barnstar red, but make the sparks blue. Sorry for sounding like a bother. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 22:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I like, I like... --AAA! ^(AAAA) 23:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, awesome... so how do i do this vote thing? noone seems to be helping but you haha.. thuglas^talk|edits 23:50, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I deny everything! Those members were already dead when I found them! --AAA! ^(AAAA) 23:52, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

haha so you're the culprit. im heading out ill frig around tomarrow or somethighn thuglas^talk|edits 10:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, being serious for a moment, all we can do is just wait for other people to take notice. That's how the voting thing works. --AAA! ^(AAAA) 00:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I like the red star color of #4, the dendrites and axons formatting and shapes of #3, with the blue color from #2. There, is that picky enough for you? :-) I just think the cyan color (the lighter blue of #4) gets a little lost. #2's color stands out the most boldly (though that might be because the star is darker color and that might get lost a bit against the brighter red in #4). I'm happy to offer my support once the criteria of the award is clarified a bit more. Who is giving this out and to whom? What are the requirements? Is this a topical Barnstar or a WikiProject one? Nice job. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 01:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I dont really know what it should be i just made the star. I figure its just a way to show people who contribute to neuro articles some recognition. i dont know how much i can do about the colors, i could alter the color of #4's dendrites.... #3 actually has the same shaped neurons as #4 thuglas^talk|edits 13:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose This is already covered by the science star. Is this supposed to be a WikiProject Award? --evrik ^(talk) 22:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Random Edits

The Barnstar of Random Edits should become a barnstar because its not the same as the random acts of kindness barnstar, because this one deals with people that go to different pages, that are on different topics and contribute helpfully towards them.

This is one. This is the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zazzer (talk • contribs)

I don't know if this has been done yet but if not i support the concept. HOWEVER, the image definately needs work. Its great that you put effort into wikipedia and we love to see people contributing; however, barnstar images should be much more polished and refined than a mspaint program could do. I support the concept like i said, but OPPOSE this barnstar image. I believe that if you deny someone an addition to wikipedia you should do it yourself, if this barnstar concept is approved and you are unable to make a more professional image, i will attempt to do so myself. thuglas^talk|edits 20:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC) How about this one then, thuglas^talk|edits

• Oppose --evrik ^(talk) 22:44, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Gender Studies Award Proposal

Hi, I'd like to propose a barnstar for WikiProject Gender Studies as a Wikiproject award. The text along side would read: For editors who make significant contributions to gender studies articles that expand Wikipedia’s knowledge about gender, gender theory, feminisms, masculinities and/or sexuality studies.--Cailil 02:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Support. thuglas^talk|edits 04:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Suspect sexuality studies could probably be covered by the LGBT Barnstar, but Support for the rest. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Support as WikiProject Award. --evrik ^(talk) 22:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Vector images

Maybe a "Barnstar" for those who have uploaded/converted a lot of bad jpg/gif/pngs to SVG? I for one have spent many a day on such an activity and I'm sure there are others like me. --Indolences 06:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC) Edit: The barnstar would of course be in SVG format.

• Oppose --evrik ^(talk) 22:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Photography contest

I was interested in setting up a contest for the best pictures personally taken by wikipedia members that had been released into the public domain and added to important pages (such as core topics or featured articles) within a period of time (such as 2007). The winner would be selected by a panel of wikipedia individuals (perhaps administrators) that had some expertise in photography. The winner would be awarded a barnstar and given some amount of money (like $100 which I would put up). I was wondering if anybody had done anything like this and what the community thought about it. Remember 12:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

National Merit for Iranology articles

A new barnstar proposal

As far as I can see, there is no fixed national medal/barnstar for contributions to Iranian articles. And considering that there are a ton of Iranian related articles, I think having this barnstar/medal is worthwhile and constructive.

I designed the barnstar. The flora used on the star are of traditional Safavid motif designs often seen on Persian rugs, and the calligraphic script, called shekasteh, symbolizes the epitome of arts and literature in modern Iran. It says "Iran, oh blessed land", which is the name of a national anthym of Iran. I have refrained from using pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary emblems on the flag to make the barnstar non-political (see Flags of Iran). Anyway, I think this should be a splendid addition.--Zereshk 17:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Support. Nice one, Zereshk. --Rayis 18:17, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
