Can someone add the USA barnstar of national merit to this list please?

That's amazing could you or someone else add this to the list of National merit awards and/or fix the Ukrainian one? Thanks. Outstanding job.

Thank you. I am not as good at coding. (: Historyguy1138 (talk) 19:12, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the size guys. I don't know why it is doing that. Feel free to change that. Historyguy1138 (talk) 19:13, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Historyguy1138: See Template:The United States Barnstar of National Merit. Jerium (talk) 11:33, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Come on, bring back my discussion right now, what the hell are you doing deleting what we were discussing, now my star is impossible to find :( Spectra321578 (talk) 06:51, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What discussion? What star? I think you replied to me, when you were trying to reply to Jerium or someone else. Historyguy1138 (talk) 16:12, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Barnstar of the Order of the Owl Spectra321578 (talk) 07:44, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What was that? Historyguy1138 (talk) 09:06, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Find the people I spoke to, they will explain it to you. Spectra321578 (talk) 12:40, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry good sir. I am a relatively new wikipedian and do not know who specifically you are referring to so I have no frame of reference to these individuals or your proposed Barnstar. I hope that works out for you though. Historyguy1138 (talk) 15:49, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm Spectra321578 (talk) 17:51, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal: The Pinball Barnstar

I propose that we institute a new Barnstar for significant contributions to the topic Pinball. I searched all the topical Barnstars and one does not exist...therefore I propose it be created.

I also have a proposal for the Icon Mindstrm (talk) 10:32, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mindstrm: I agree with your proposal. Jerium (talk) 16:18, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fabulous, I am new to this...what is the process of adding it now? Just edit the page and follow the format of the previous entries? Mindstrm (talk) 17:24, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can do it for you, if you don't mind. Jerium (talk) 17:25, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please do! Thanks a bunch Mindstrm (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's done, see WP:TBARN. Jerium (talk) 18:54, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! Mindstrm (talk) 19:47, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Joke Barnstar

The only real point of this barnstar would to be to give to others (or yourself) for the purpose of humor, as it is obviously not a well-made barnstar.

Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 17:32, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But there's already a barnstar for that, see the Barnstar of Good Humor. Jerium (talk) 19:15, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar for editing a personal page

What do you think about introducing Barnstar for editing a personal page?

Spectra321578 (talk) 07:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly do you mean by "personal page"? A user page? - ZLEA _T\^C 08:47, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User's personal page Spectra321578 (talk) 09:22, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's already a barnstar for having a well-designed and layout userpage, see the Userpage Barnstar, and your barnstar does not align with design guideline WP:B2G. Jerium (talk) 10:00, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So let yourself be rewarded, that's all Spectra321578 (talk) 11:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have the best personal page now if you gave me a reward for it I would be very grateful, besides it could be my first star, I created the Wise Owl Barnstar to reward for faith And wisdom, can you reward me for the user page with an award please 😥 Spectra321578 (talk) 08:10, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't worry about that kind of stuff. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Then why can't you just reward me for my user page ? 🤨 Spectra321578 (talk) 19:58, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
