Wow
You know, those barnstars (apart from the real ones) you designed should be actual barnstars! WHY AREN'T THEY?? Anyway, I have a similar thing which is a joke awards gallery. Take a look and comment! --Editor510 (talk) 18:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to say I moved it to a subpage. find it at the bottom of my userpage!--Editor510 (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I simply assumed that you did. Oh well, it's an awesome collection anyway! (I also like the wikipedia logos)--Editor510 (talk) 18:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you're a nice wikipedian too! you know, there should be a barnstar for giving out barnstars...i'll look into that.--Editor510 (talk) 16:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
How nice to look at my user page and find something new which wasn't vandalism! :-D Poindexter Propellerhead 22:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Off the top of my head, I have no idea, but if you could point me to a user page or two that has them, I'm pretty sure I can figure it out. Poindexter Propellerhead 19:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, I took a look at Havok's code, and it's not automated; the message and image will change only as the result of an edit (as far as I can find). This probably explains why they aren't in more common use. If you're interested anyway, you can find the basic code right here.User:Havok/StatusDiv Open it for editing to see what's going on (or to copy and paste a copy for yourself). The file that it looks in to see what message to display is here.[User:Havok/Status] If you decide you want it, despite its non-automatic nature, and need any more help than I've given above, let me know and I'll be happy to.

Please stop repeatedly blanking the sandbox. I'm trying to experiment, and you're disrupting my experiments. -- Smjg 19:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Recent Edit
Thanks for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, and has been reverted or removed. All information in the encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable published source. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them.

Edit comments
Oh, sure! Sorry that I didn't get back to you the other day. It's extremely easy. You know that narrow little box, "Edit summary" that appears below anything you're editing? That's where the comments go. Edit comments are a very good thing, and will often help you keep from being mistaken for a vandal, etc. Like everything else in Wikipedia, once they have been created they exist (somewhere or another) forever, so do think them over a bit before you hit "enter." Poindexter Propellerhead 22:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Why
Because the admins are stupid and don't permit "copyrighted" images (IMO, if a picture is released to the public domain for advertising purposes - especially with no visible copyright notation - then it is "fair use," no ifs, ands, or buts about it.) to be used when a "free" image is available. And for a toy line, a picture of the actual set taken by a user is considered "free," but professional and so-much-better looking artwork is not. It's foolish, but we have to deal with it. -- ~|ET|~ (Talk) 00:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I edited that section because you have not earned all of those, and it could be confusing to some folks. And what else could you use them for other than reference? --  Gravitan ( Talk 11:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I mean by "reference". You have not actually been awarded all of those. You simply have them on your page so that you can refer to them if you decide to give one to somebody. Get it now? --  Gravitan ( Talk 14:21, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar
Read. The. Barnstar.

This is a real award, not some fake one, so you should be glad I gave it to you. But the point of this star is to make sure that everyone gets recognized for their work. In addition, you have given out one Barnstar in your entire time on Wikipedia, so I thought I'd help by giving you a chain Barnstar. Give three or more of these out to people with the specified requirement. But not to admins, because they've got enough work as it is. So get giving! ;) --  Gravitan ( Talk 11:52, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Gah, it doesn't really matter anyway. Give out more of these or I'll take this one away. ;) --  Gravitan ( Talk 18:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * They have to have at least 500 edits. And simply put my text; but do whatever you want for the first sentence (but don't say something like "Gravitan made me give this to you" XD). --  Gravitan ( Talk 22:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstars
re: User:Deskana Just so you know, you should give barnstars on the person's talk page. They can move them to their userpage themselves. See WP:BARN for more. Cheers! Flyguy649 talk contribs 14:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar Q?
You said on your main page, if anyone has a Barnstar Q, to leave you a message. I have one. Can anyone give a Barnstar or can only specific people? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flamingtorch372 (talk • contribs) 04:14, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not Swirlex, but in answer to your question, even IP's can give barnstars.--Supernerd 10 23:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Contribs
I'm not Gravitan either, but in answer to the question you recently asked him, the best way to check is to check the contributions, set the thing at the bottom to 500, and see if you get more than one page. Also, some folks have userboxes that say how much they've done.--Supernerd 10 23:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar Candidate
I've noticed you like to give out Barnstars. Perhaps you'd consider giving one to [] - he's currently blocked for a week for incivility and breaking 3RR - and whilst I've had my fair share of arguments with the guy - he does do a lot for Wikipedia reverting vandalism and removing unsourced rubbish - I think this block may push him out of the project and a barnstar right now might be enough to pull him back from the edge. However I will bow to your greater experience on this one. Kelpin 10:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry when I left the message on your talk page I didn't know how to leave a Barnstar but I figured it out afterwards. Kelpin 08:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Bionicle Groups
Swirlex, I know we've been getting into a bit of an edit war in the Bionicle article, and I wanted to explain my position. I think that section should only be a quick summary of the biggest players in the storyline, and I'm sorry, but I don't feel the Turaga are influential enough. Not one has played a major part since Dume in '04, and I feel their role as Matoran leaders is already summed up well in the section's Matoran summary. Drakhan (talk) 00:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: True Info
Thanks for the Shop @ Home links, but I already included them. The problem is they're looking for "official third-party" sources - as I understand it, fan forums and blogs (like BZP) aren't official enough and "third-party" means it has to be outside of Lego. I don't quite get it either; but I'm tired of fighting these battles so I've gone into (at least semi-)retirement. Drakhan (talk) 16:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
