West Virginia Barnstar

I did NOT create this barnstar, HOWEVER, User: Kelvinsong has done fine/perfect job, and IMO, after creating over 2,300 articles, a majority on WV communities, THIS should be it.

		The West Virginia Barnstar
		Thanks for your work to improve Wikipedia's coverage of West Virginia topics.

HMMMMMM, I was able to post the template for Wikipedia Project WV...thanks for the inputCoal town guy (talk) 20:07, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

There appears to be some sort of html code error with this barnstar. Whenever a new barnstar is posted directly underneath it, it "gobbles" it up. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 20:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I corrected that, I forgot to place a

|}

at the end. That was corrected in the template as well. You know, the one over thar....up yonder.......Coal town guy (talk) 20:22, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the fix! Take care! Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 20:23, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Of course, OH, I almost forgot, our dialect is not said foar yew, we usually, place a more downward accent ALMOST like fur, but just a hint at a more German sound, sans umlaut of course yew, is contracted to ye, the e is short and pronounced like a long a....gives it that more authentic lilt. Just a FYI, no more of courseCoal town guy (talk) 20:33, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

The Excellent New Editor's Barnstar

I created this barn star at the request of User:Gtwfan52 who wanted something to encourage new users who were using best practices at a very early stage. It was created on 12 January 2013. I hope this can be incorporated into our "General Barnstars" for contributors to use when they see excellence in our new users!

This seems to have gained a consensus. I have implemented it under "General Barnstars". Thanks!--Amadscientist (talk) 08:49, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Black Veil Brides Barnstar

I created this barnstar for editors who have contributed to Black Veil Brides' and possibly other hard rock related pages. I like how it incorporates Black Veil Brides iconic "pentacharm" symbol (star made up of 5 "BVB" logos put together). Thatemooverthere (Talk) 00:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Why create this if theres no wikiproject or taskforce relating to black veil brides specifically? You have to ak the community if the barnstar you made is worth it. I dont think this barnstar is bvery usable unless it had a wikiproject and/or taskforce behind it.Lucia Black (talk) 04:13, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I'll ask around WikiProject Rock music. Thatemooverthere (Talk) 22:30, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

The Roller Coaster Barnstar

I created this with Themeparkgc specifically in mind, but it could be used among the folks at WikiProject Amusement Parks.

		The Roller Coaster Barnstar
		For outstanding contributions to the field of amusement park-related articles. Zoke (talk) 21:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I think it's a great idea! What do you think of renaming it the On the Right Track Barnstar? I think that's a great name given the roller coaster track and what it's awarded for.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 13:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I would probably be against that, just because of the narrow use I had in mind and the generalization that that name would open up. I was thinking this would be like a version 2.0 of the already-existing Coaster Star. However, if consensus builds to go on your idea, I won't fight it. Zoke (talk) 16:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

• Support - A fine topic-specific barnstar, and I support the initial name, "The Roller Coaster Barnstar." This, along with Template:Coaster Star could both be added to WikiProject Amusement Parks. Another option would be to also include it on the main barnstar page at Wikipedia:Barnstars. Northamerica1000^(talk) 13:09, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Welcoming Barnstar Proposal

I'd like to propose for a Welcoming Barnstar to be made. It would be awarded to users that welcome new users. I thought of this while looking for a barnstar to give to the user that welcomed me when I joined Wikipedia. Please share your thoughts on this, thank you. --XapApp · talk · contribs 12:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

UK barnstar

We would like to have a barnstar that was suitable for awarding to people who have given exceptional help to our Wikimedia UK events such as speaking at conferences etc. I was thinking of maybe something stonehenge or Glastonbury Tor themed, but I'd be interested in people's inspirations.

barnstar awards candidates

Greetings Wikipedia awards folks,

I would like to nominate the following editors for the Rescue Barnstar award: gtfwan52 cullen328 revent

all three editors have bent over backwards, in my opinion, to help me through my first article (Rittenhouse Elementary School). They have helped out when I've been stuck, guided me to the appropriate help pages, and calmed my occasional bouts of panic. They had also been extremely friendly, kind, compassionate, humorous, and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience, and I feel that they are justly deserving of a barnstar.

Thank you for your consideration
