The Afghan Barnstar
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, wouldn't the flag for the barnstar need to be changed? --Firestar464 (talk) 05:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Just an FYI: I left a message on your user talk page on the Wikimedia Commons, then noticed afterwards that you wanted requests for remastering barnstar images to go here. I'm not sure if my message qualifies as being such, but please accept my sincere apologies in advance if this was where you wanted all barnstar image-related messages to go.

Rowing barnstar request
Hi Antonu, was just looking who has some graphics capability for producing a new barnstar and it seems I've come to the right person. Great work! Could you please create a barnstar styled like the Running Man Barnstar but using the rowing pictogram? Much appreciated.  Schwede 66  23:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Spoken Wikipedia Barnstars
Hello. I was wondering if you could remake these barnstars for WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

Thank you. --Walk Like an Egyptian (talk) 10:58, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, sorry for the long answer. Please help me find a suitable clipart. --Antonu (talk) 14:46, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

 * We just created the entire award system at the Albanian Wikipedia from scratch and 90% of it is thanks to your work. Although I do have some questions:
 * 1. Continuing on the white background subject, this BoNM is the only one with a white background. Can you make it like the others?
 * ✅ BoNM - Madagascar Hires1.png --Antonu (talk) 12:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 2. Are you planning to do more BoNM? I think only Europe and Asia are fully represented until now. Also, I saw some of them are not from you. Is the quality the same (the style does look the same though)? - Klein Muçi (talk) 03:08, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Can - Scotland Hires.png this be made Hi-Res as well? - Klein Muçi (talk) 03:34, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ BoNM - Scotland Hires.png --Antonu (talk) 12:53, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you a lot, Antonu! :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:09, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 3. Can you remove the background from this too? And please ping me if you can. So I know when you write to me. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ BoNM - Mali Hires.png

Workers Barnstar

 * 1. Although this is not your work, can you help with this image? It's supposed to be without a background and yet it always comes with a white background when set in a page.
 * . I'm sorry, I cant do this. For me that symbol is not the symbol of workers, but the symbol of horror, terror, famine, occupation and mass murder. I have many relatives who was killed with no guilty in the name of that «workers» symbol. --Antonu (talk) 13:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I understand. We've suffered from Communism too in our country. - Klein Muçi (talk) 00:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

About your email request:
 * 1) In Albania, as in Russia, there is a low standard of living compared to the democratic capitalist countries of the West. One of the main reasons for this is that we had communism, which is inefficient in nature and always leads to poverty.
 * 2) In fact, people always trying to escape from the country where someone is trying to build communism, so the «comrades» have to build an Iron curtain and the Berlin walls, but people still run from there, even risking their lives.
 * 3) One of the few countries that still have communist regime is North Korea, if you and I lived there, then we wouldn’t have even basical human right, the access to the Internet and the wonderful American Wikipedia.

I recommend watching the films «Tunnel», «Crossing», as well as «East/West». These are feature films about how people dream of escaping from the socialist «paradise».

If you want to read books, I recommend the «The Black Book of Communism» and Wikipedia Articles

Best regards. --Antonu (talk) 09:22, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your detailed information! I will spend quite some time reading what you have mentioned. Especially the book you mentioned is one I've been interested to read for quite some time now.
 * Can you help me with one more thing barnstar related? This is your creation. Can you make another one the same but where the symbol in the middle isn't the lightning bolt scar? Maybe his glasses would be a good choice (since it would seem like a head with the hat on top of it). The lightning bolt scar and the Deathly Hallows symbol are the most used HP symbols but they both represent not very positive things regarding the story, if I can put it like that. - Klein Muçi (talk) 13:24, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, Antonu! :) Do you still deal with barnstar images? I wanted to let you know that we're still interested in the last request I've made (regarding the Harry Potter barnstar), although it's been a while. These past month we've been working continuously with the barnstars at our community and we would benefit from the HP one because of its use at the HP WikiProject. I see you haven't been much active these past days but if you ever find time for it, please let me know, whenever that is. - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:41, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
