User:Jimbo Wales/Barnstars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honestly, I made this page because I don't know the etiquette on these things. They've been on my user page for months, am I allowed to delete them, would that be rude? Should I keep them, is that poor taste as well?
Thai: ด้วยความสัตย์จริงเลยนะ, ผมได้สร้างหน้านี้ เพราะผมก็ไม่ได้รู้ว่าโดยมารยาทแล้วควรจะจัดการกับสิ่งเหล่านี้ยังไงดี. แต่พวกมันก็อยู่บนหน้าผู้ใช้ของผมมาเป็นแรมเดือนแล้ว, ผมจะมีสิทธิ์ลบมันออกได้งั้นเหรอ, มันจะเป็นการหยาบคายไปรึเปล่า ถ้าผมจะทำเช่นนั้นลงไป? หรือว่าผมควรจะเก็บมันไว้หยั่งงี้, มันจะเป็นทัศนคติที่แย่รึเปล่า?
Spanish: Yo hice esta página porque no sé la etiqueta de estas cosas. Han estado en mi página hace meses; podría tacharlos, o ¿sería yo grosero? Debo quedarme con los premios, o ¿está de mal gusto también?
German: Wirklich, bildete ich diese Seite, weil ich die Etikette auf diesen Sachen kenne. Sie auf meiner Benutzerseite für Monate war…darf ich sie löschen, wurde das unhöflich sein? Sollt' ich sie speichern? Wurde das auch nicht annehmbar sein?
Anyhow, I moved them here. :-)
Thai: แต่จะยังไงก็เถอะ, ผมก็ย้ายมันมาไว้ซะที่นี่หละ. :-)
Spanish: Pues, decidí moverlos aquí... :-)
German: Sowieso, ich nahmt sie hier.
- Keep them, as some sort of an archive..there aren't THAT many barnstars either..it's not like it floods browsers and crashes 56K modems ;) -- SoothingR 07:49, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

For treating himself as just another editor. The ultimate spirit of an admin is "It's no big deal", he has the most power on wikipedia, and still carries that "no big deal" aspect with him. Absolutely amazing!!! | Businessman332211 | 01:31, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC) |

A barnstar for Jimbo - he is so nice. Someday a historical statue will be built for him! Like this! | 0 | 01:31, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC) |

Some people give barnstars for improving Wikipedia. Here is one for making it ;) | Viva La Vie Boheme! | Undated |

Here's another barnstar from me and the Ars Electronica crew. | Joi | 05:07, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC) |

Yet another barnstar for Jimbo. I use wikipedia nearly every day as a reference at work. I design Access Management System for Transportation (did you know that a modern subway turnstile has a PentiumIII in it?), and our products incorporate a huge array of sub-components. Wiki helps me to get a quick reference on subjects that I only got a vague grip of. Thanks! | 81.57.15.180 | 01:28, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) |

I, Steptrip, award you this barnstar for a spectrum of things. Two of which being the facts that you created Wikipedia, and the second one being that you keep your cool while putting up with uncivil trolls. | ~Steptrip | 23:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC) |

For reaching 1000 edits, I award you the Tireless Contributor Barnstar. It must be wound once every three days. :) | Grunt ҈ | 20:44, 2005 Feb 18 (UTC) |

For your amazing contribution to the world by creating Wikipedia. I use it almost every day. In fact, I use it about as often as I search Google - which is saying something. Again, thanks! | Werdna648T/C\@ | 12:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC) |

Hi, Jimbo. Well, here's a barnstar for, uh, creating Wikipedia, being kind towards other users, creating Wikipedia, improving articles, and creating Wikipedia! | The Great Llama talk | 23:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC) |

A resource that anyone can edit? Truly something you wouldn't find in a traditional encyclopedia! Many thanks for it. | Timrollpickering | 17:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC) |

I award this barnstar because I enjoyed the Clint Eastwood movie about your outlaw days. | Mrgate3 | 16:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC) |
|
For you, Jim. Congrats on reaching 3000+ edits, too! This barnstar comes with a little motor (two AAA batteries included) so you don't have to wind it, and it runs on batteries, so you can take it anywhere! :-) Thanks for making Wikipedia. You must be proud of how far it's come! | Ryan Got something to say? | 18:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC) |

I award this barnstar to you for the smile on the userpage. Keep smiling! = ) | Supermiggelo | 16:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC) |

Even though its official name is the "Son of Jimbo" award, I award you this for simply BEING the one and only Jimbo Wales. If you come up with any other great ideas, don't forget to put them into practice, like you did with Wikipedia ( |

A papal tiara. Now you are the spiritual as well as the temporal ruler of Wikipedia (just kidding). | SFGiants | 00:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC) |

This Outlaw Halo is hereby presented to Jimbo Wales in recognition of his taking bold action to protect the 'pedia. Thank you for not allowing Wikipe-tan to be pimped. | Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ | 02:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC) |

I hereby award this barnstar to you, to recognise the outstanding lengths you've gone to in order to adhere to the official decree by the Supreme Cabal Regime of the English Wikipedia (regarding the climbing the Reichstag building dressed as Spider-Man in order to gain advantage in a content dispute). Your restraint on this is exemplary, even inspiring. I'm doing my best to emulate you in this respect, at every given moment. | Talionis (Shout me · Stalk me) | 00:25, 14 July 2007 (UTC) |

For being the creator of Wikipedia. | Angel David,?!? | 20:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC) |

| I understand how insignificant this may seem, but, well, you've just done so much to support and protect Wikipedia ever since its inception that I think you deserve this. Candleguy1994 (talk) 13:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC) |

This user just got a generic mini-barnstar from CompuHacker. |
