WP:RIB
I noticed you have requested the creation of some WikiRibbons. I've already made File:WikiProject Ribbon.png, File:Admin Barnstar Ribbon.png, and File:Wiknic Ribbon.png and I'm wondering which Barnstars you'd most like transfered into Ribbon form. (Drop me a Talkback if you would be so kind). Achowat (talk) 17:07, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * First off -- nice new ribbons! My current favorite is the Quasar Ribbon. By my count, you've added four to the page; eight more gets you a complete set of the rewards being offered. Since you're taking requests (and since you seem to specialize in "shadowed" ribbons), my order of preference is:
 * 1) Shadowed ribbon for the Copyeditor's Barnstar: [[Image:CopyeditorStar7.PNG|17px]] ✅
 * 2) Shadowed or textured ribbon for the Anti-Spam Barnstar: [[Image:No spam barnstar.png|17px]] ✅
 * 3) Shadowed or textured ribbon for the Writer's Barnstar: [[Image:Writer's barnstar.png|17px]]
 * 4) Shadowed or textured ribbon for the Fraternity and Sorority Barnstar: [[Image:FSBarnstar.png|17px]] ✅
 * 5) Shadowed or textured ribbon for the Red Link Removal Barnstar: [[Image:Red Link Removal Barnstar.png|17px]]
 * 6) Anything else.
 * But, in the end, it's entirely up to you! I happily encourage the creation of any new ribbons as they allow for a cleaner display of one's acheivement's on the Wiki. Cheers! NielsenGW (talk) 17:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Odd, I got this message just as I was finishing up File:Human Sexuality Ribbon.png (Since someone was using a Placeholder for that). I'll make those 5 my next goals. Thanks. Achowat (talk) 17:53, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

So from my count, that's 12 since the Reward was placed out there I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII. Are those to your liking? Achowat (talk) 19:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Well done! Barnstars have been awarded. NielsenGW (talk) 12:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And now I'm wondering if you might be able to help me out. I'd like to use the Numeral system for my Stars, but since I've really compressed them to be able to fit in an infobox, I've been entirely unable to make it work. What am I doing wrong? (and, since I know there's an issue with the whole "white space" thing to the side, the order is important to me). Achowat (talk) 12:57, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * As a first guide, take a look at the code on my Awards page. I took a look at your ribbons page, and you'll have to scale down the numeral image to 55px and set the left margin to minus-53px and the right margin to 2px. If you put the tags in the right place, you should be able to put the numerals on the ribbons just fine. Let me know if you need any more help. Cheers! NielsenGW (talk) 13:27, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I stole your coding verbatim, and it worked relatively well (I found that -55px/0px centered the numbers perfectly). But it intoduced some white space between the Ribbons that I find unattractive (See here) especially on the top row. (Compare to the un-numbered version here). Can anything be ton about that?

Wikipedia:Reward board
I've come to claim a barnstar for File:Israel barnstar rib.svg and File:Tao barnstar rib.svg.

I'm working on a couple more, so I'll be back soon :-).

Thank you, Inkbug (talk) 14:04, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Reward Board Barnstar Ribbons
Hi, is this request still open? If so, what are the specific criteria? Are we required to create a completely new ribbon, or would creating a textured version of a previously existing ribbon qualify? Thanks.  Frigid Ninja  03:18, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I have created ribbons for five different barnstars: File:Geology Ribbon.png, File:Liberty Ribbon.png, File:Automotive Ribbon.png, File:Music ribbon.png, and File:Gear barnstar ribbon.png.  Frigid Ninja  04:43, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
