I had an idea for an award given to Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians who's contributions have been recognized after their passing for GA's/FA's/DYK's/whatever. A very simple award, but I'd like to think a needed one. I like Astatine (Talk to me) 21:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Demt1298 I like it. I wanted to make some adjustments though; make the umbrella bigger, tamper with the color, and add a shadow for a more 3D look and better visibility overall. I also made a version that better correlates with the userbox I created for the task force, but I haven't uploaded it. Jerium (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Jerium Please make the adjustments to it in commons and then put the new version here. I will appreciate the assistance. Demt1298 (talk) 16:58, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Demt1298 About that, I would need your white barnstar just by itself, so I can make the changes on the umbrella without effecting the star. Jerium (talk) 17:02, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Jerium I used File:White Barnstar Hires.svg on commons.Demt1298 (talk) 17:14, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thnx, and this was my version. Jerium (talk) 17:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
 
Demt1298 File:White Barnstar Hires.svg doesn't look like the barnstar you used, so I had to make my own white barnstar. I uploaded a test file, but I'm personally not happy with it. Jerium (talk) 17:49, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Jerium I might have used an altered version of it from Power point. 18:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC) Demt1298 (talk) 18:53, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Demt1298 Not an issue, but I think we should just stick with yours, it's still better. I also added my pink alternative version in the template. Jerium (talk) 18:56, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Jerium I saw that. I think it is a good idea to have the alternate. My original version is on my home computer. Let me see if I can make the adjustments you recommended and then I will see what you think! Demt1298 (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Demt1298, I've updated the test file. If you don't see the changes, click on the barnstar file for comparison from the previous upload. I'm satisfied with this new upload. Jerium (talk) 22:50, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
 
Demt1298 What are your thoughts on the current test file? I would like to upload the test file on your version (overwrite), but I won't do it without consulting you first. Jerium (talk) 18:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@JeriumI am working on one with the star I used but your concepts of bigger umbrella and shadows. I should complete it tonight and then we can compare. Demt1298 (talk) 18:32, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Jerium Look at the pic now. I made it bigger and added shadowing. Demt1298 (talk) 00:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Demt1298 looks awesome, much better than mine. Jerium (talk) 01:09, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Has anyone ever given themselves a barnstar?

Just curious. Not that I'm going to do it. JM (talk) 08:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

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. Jerium (talk) 09:28, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Not a barnstar, but I once gave myself a Silver Wiki after I organized a contest on Wikimedia Commons but was onse 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. - ZLEA T\C 15:21, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
