Hitachi Magic Wand request

Recently promoted to WP:GA quality after a successful Quality improvement project. :) I think this qualifies not for the million, but for one of the other ones. Could someone else check please?

Thank you, — Cirt (talk) 03:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Hitachi%20Magic%20Wand the article gets about 336,756 page views per year. That should be good for the The Quarter Million Award, right? — Cirt (talk) 16:09, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps one of the recently-awarded-editors (such as: SNUGGUMS, Samjohnzon, 97198, Captain Assassin!, Bollyjeff, TonyTheTiger, Retrohead, Redtigerxyz, Jeff Dahl, Montanabw, Epicgenius, or Prototime) might like to do the honors on this one for Hitachi Magic Wand? :) — Cirt (talk) 01:08, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Setup archival

I setup archival to archive pages older than one (1) year. I also archived a few threads that were closed successfully (people requested awards and subsequently got them). — Cirt (talk) 02:24, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Substable template

Someone should create a substable template to make it easier to give out this award.

Then, I'd be happy to give it to people.

Hrm, maybe I'll look into this, but perhaps others could help as well.

FYI: Instead of creating a template, I just used WP:WIKILOVE with the Make your own parameter, and then added File:Million award logo.svg for the image parameter and modeled the rest after Wikipedia:Million_Award#Banner_awards. Still, it could be helpful to have Template:Million Award in the future, but this method wasn't so hard either. :) — Cirt (talk) 01:14, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cleared the backlogs

I've cleared all the backlogs of requests that were on this page.

I've given out awards to eleven (11) users including: SNUGGUMS, Samjohnzon, Captain Assassin!, Bollyjeff, TonyTheTiger, Retrohead, Redtigerxyz, Jeff Dahl, Montanabw, Epicgenius, and Prototime.

If they've also qualified for the actual full Million, then they may feel free to add themselves to the Million Award Hall of Fame at Wikipedia:Million_Award#Million_Award_Hall_of_Fame.

Thanks again to you all for your quality improvement efforts on Wikipedia.

I truly do mean it when I say I'm most happy to see fellow editors that engage in quality improvement efforts to bring pages to WP:GA or WP:FA quality! :)

Hello Cirt, should not I'd be given two awards separately for two different articles? --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 01:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Captain Assassin!:I was given one combined award in the past (by the founder of this award) for multiple articles, see DIFF. — Cirt (talk) 01:33, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think if that's the way here, different awards should be given. I'll agree if TonyTheTiger tells me this. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 01:39, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was just doing it the way it was done by the founder of this award page, itself. I hope you can understand that, Captain Assassin! ? — Cirt (talk) 01:41, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I understand, actually I just wanted to ask Tony once. Curious, what he'd say? --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 01:46, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think the award founder set this all up to be no big deal really. I mean, you can even award it to yourself if you want. It's just nice to get it from someone else. ;) — Cirt (talk) 01:48, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah sure, it's not a big deal and problem, just encouragement. I was just like curious that why is one award being given for two article, but it's alright. Thanks, by the way. --Captain Assassin! «T ♦ C ♦ G» 01:57, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You're most welcome! It was a pleasure. :) — Cirt (talk) 02:01, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You can give your self individual userboxes for each article now. And thank you Cirt. BollyJeff | talk 03:03, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You're most welcome, Bollyjeff, — Cirt (talk) 03:08, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cirt, In the past (as you can see at User:TonyTheTiger/Barnstars), each individual article was awarded with proper quarter, half or full Million awards. What is going on now with a single recognition for assorted efforts? By not making Hall of Fame recognitions and not giving individual award and asking users to give themselves individual awards, you are reducing the significance of this award, which may lead to its demise. I ask that you consider showing the proper respect to the awardees by recognizing them for each effort individually and making Hall of Fame recognitions.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:49, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyTheTiger:I was given one combined award in the past (by the founder of this award itself) for multiple articles, see DIFF. The founder of this award created it to not be such a big deal, you can even give yourself the award. As Bollyjeff pointed out, above, you can now add userboxes for the individual awards, each, if you want. Or you could even give yourself individual awards for each separate award. :) — Cirt (talk) 08:08, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
