The result of the discussion was  Delete This was both a WP:SNOW delete and a speedy delete as a page created by a sockpuppet of a user who was blocked at the time of creation of the page. Either way, there was no point leaving the discussion to run for a week. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:26, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Template:Civility barnstar


My question: should such rude gesture (masquerading as a civility template to trick us into thinking otherwise) be allowed on Wikipedia when we want people to be constructive to the project? Last I know, some annoying IP editor came by my page and posted this, twice even after I've removed it. Now, that is not a pleasant thing to do, right? Also, patrolling admin please note that this template was created by the sock (User:Fred the Oyster) of a de-facto BANNED editor User:WebHamster in defiance of his ban/block. Strongly suggest to delete the template before more mischief can be caused by other like-minded IP editors. -- Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:43, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There are barnstars for just about everything, If you start removing the extreme ones for WP:IDL, you are heading down the road to having them all considered. Maybe that's not a bad idea.  As far as the note for the patrolling admin, I'm not sure what the nominator is looking for.  The edits he refers to are now gone.  My only advise would be: If you do not needlessly stir up the trolls with immature comments, you will less ofter find yourself the target of these attacks.  Bringing this here w/ all of the drama comments has only provided another meal for a well fed troll. 31.186.86.42 (talk) 17:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete This serves no useful purpose and has been created seemingly with the sole intention of causing offence. It may be able to be deleted under speedy deletion db-g5 as a page created by a banned user in violation of their ban. Either way, it shouldn't be on Wikipedia.

 * Delete and speedy, this is a personal attack barnstar and has absolutely zero - no, less than zero - reason to be tolerated in any way, shape, or form on the project. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:46, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Files don't make personal attack, editors do. This for example, as rude as it's usage can be perceived, has not in fact been used (at the time of this edit) in the context of a personal attack.  I actually think the both of them need deletion, but not for the reasons specified by the editors above. 31.186.86.42 (talk) 22:55, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It enables personal attacks, and has no other purpose. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:56, 10 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I cannot see any appropriate use case for this template. It only promotes personal attacks. TOW  talk  05:39, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
