User:Meaghan/Shining Stars

Shining Stars is a spinoff of Wikipedian of the..., my previous award program. This program will feature both repeats from WOT... and brand new users. It's similar to WOT..., but uses different periods of time, and the awards are more barnstar-like.


 *  Everyday, one user will be awarded the Red Star for kindness, helpfulness, or just being a great user. The Red Star is kind of like WOTD, except it's more barnstar-like. 
 *  Every three days, a user who has received the Red Star will receive a higher award, the Orange Star. 
 *  Every nine days, or every three Orange Stars, a user who was awarded the Orange Star will be given a higher award, the Yellow Star. 
 *  Every 27 days, or three Yellow Stars, a user who has received the Yellow Star would receive the shiniest award of all, the Blue Star. 

I created some userboxes for users who were awarded a Shining Star. Remember to replace the dates with your date(s).

Cycle #2 (December 7, 2009 - January 2010)
Cycle #2 will start on December 7, 2009. The first nine Red Stars will consist of repeats from Cycle #1; the repeats will be users who didn't receive the Orange Star in Cycle #1. One of the repeats will receive the Yellow Star. The other 18 users will be all new users who have never received a Shining Star.
