WikiThanks

[edit]
WikiThanks
WikiThanks

The WikiThanks may be awarded as a way to say thank you to other Wikipedians.

This award was introduced by MattTM on September 9, 2004. The original image was created by Anthere.

Suggested syntax: {{subst:WikiThanks|thankyou message}} or [[File:WikiThanks.png|43px|left|WikiThanks]] You should drop it on a user's talk page, per the below message:

Note : When I introduced the picture, it was meant to be a THANK YOU note. I do *not* support the barnstar system. I started putting it on meta, on Raul talk page first as a simple thank you. It is meant to be little, to be gentle, to be hardly visible at all, not to be displayed in user page. Those who use it as a barnstar have made me great wrongness, because this little thank you note was precisely meant to be different of the barnstar system, all splattered on user page. If you appreciate what I do for Wikipedia, please DO NOT KEEP this on your user page, but leave it simply as a little thank you flower on your talk page and let it fall in your archives. This is simply what it was meant to be. This image is under GFDL, so, yes, you can do whatever you want with it, but if you want to be nice and stick to its original spirit, please do NOT use it as a barnstar. It pains me.

The Builder, Cool, Veneration of Virtue Award

[edit]
Image What to type Description
{{subst:Builder Award|text ~~~~}} The Builder Award
No community can grow without a certain amount of political infrastructure: policies, procedures, processes. Casual readers never see it; editors generally hate it; but it supports all we do. Like all major construction, it requires broad vision, attention to detail, and hard work.

Building this infrastructure is distinct from routine maintenance of it; the latter is recognized by the WikiMedal for Janitorial Services.

Introduced 14:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC) by John Reid.

{{subst:User:Mr. Bouncy/CoolAward|reason=(add reason)}} The Cool Award
The Cool Award is intended for those who are cool in everything they do. It is for those who seem to do everything right on Wikipedia, and go beyond that to show excellence and be respected in every aspect. This award was introduced by Mr. Bouncy on December 30, 2006.
{{subst:The Veneration of Virtue|recipient's username|~~~~}} The Veneration of Virtue Award
The Veneration of Virtue is awarded to Wikipedians who must – like V – work anonymously against the forces of ignorance to preserve our intellectual traditions. This award was introduced by Scartol on 11 November, 2007.
The Editing Reward
Editing The Editing Reward (better known as The "Happy Editing" Reward) is awarded to any well-trained Wikipedian or Administrator.
Some Wikipedian has earned a Cernen's Plusbox for doing something witty, brilliant, or otherwise noticable, and if Cernen sees it, will award a plusbox, but this award is otherwise inherently worthless.
