== Has anyone ever given themselves a barnstar? ==
Just curious. Not that I'm going to do it. [[User:JM2023|JM]] ([[User talk:JM2023|talk]]) 08:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
:I’ve seen it, and I think it’s really pathetic. I’m annoyed by it so much that I would propose a guideline to prevent such a thing, but such a proposal would be considered equally pathetic and pointless. There’s no harm in awarding yourself but the feeling is not truly satisfying. [[User:Jerium|Jerium]] ([[User talk:Jerium|talk]]) 09:28, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
::Not a barnstar, but I once gave myself a [[User:ZLEA/Awards|Silver Wiki]] after I organized a contest on Wikimedia Commons but was one of only two or three participants. Not so much an award as it is a reminder why I've never organized a Commons contest since. - [[User:ZLEA|<span style="color:#6B8E23">ZLEA</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:ZLEA|<span style="color:#6B8E23">T</span>]]</sub><span style="color:#6B8E23">\</span><sup>[[Special:Contributions/ZLEA|<span style="color:#6B8E23">C</span>]]</sup> 15:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
:::In the end, people just want to be recognized and appreciated for the their efforts, no matter how irrelevant another individual might perceive it to be. [[User:Jerium|Jerium]] ([[User talk:Jerium|talk]]) 20:06, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
== award request ==
{{noping|CactiStaccingCrane}} [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Unreferenced_articles#Fresh_barnstars|made a badge award system for WikiProject Unreferenced articles]]. As I'm not a member of this WikiProject, is anyone opposed to awarding Cacti {{tl|The Barnstar Barnstar}} for this work? The awards will be newly-given for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/February 2024|an upcoming backlog drive]]. <span class="nowrap"><span style="font-family:copperplate gothic;">[[User:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">Chris Troutman</span>]] ([[User talk:Chris troutman|<span style="color:#345">talk</span>]])</span></span> 18:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
:{{u|Chris troutman}} Go ahead, there's no rules on how and why on awarding someone. Plus, the editor was willing to put in the effort. [[User:Jerium|Jerium]] ([[User talk:Jerium|talk]]) 21:32, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
