How about replacing this with some sort of "Wikistar"? - [[User:Lord Emsworth|Lord Emsworth]]

I replaced [[:Image:Barnstar.gif]] with [[:Image:Barnstar.png]], an updated and better-looking one. If it's not transparent it's because your web browser is broken and not standards compliant. [[User:Silsor|silsor]] 00:39, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)
:Looks A LOT better. Not sure "broken" is the right word, but I catch your drift. Why not just replace the ugly one with this one, bad browsers beware. Given the purpose, the lack of transparency is not really a problem - [[User:Marshman|Marshman]] 01:01, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
::It is not transparent on MSIE. So here we go again. 90%-95% of internet users use MSIE. Can we postpone standards fetishism till at least half of these people have changed their habits, in other words indefinitely? [[User:Erik Zachte|Erik Zachte]] 04:28, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)
:::Works fine on MSIE for Mac. ;)
:::8-bit transparent PNGs work fine in MSIE for Windows, though you don't get the smooth edges. It's a simple matter to fix in the Gimp if anyone cares to do it. --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion]] 05:03, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I accidentally reverted this image to an earlier version (a fidgety mouse hand and lack of sleep are a dangerous combination), but it seems to be better now. Sorry about that, folks! [[User:Chris Roy|Chris Roy]] 03:32, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

: ''note that there is nothing to stop a user from putting a barnstar on their own page.''
Except other users being able to edit the page to remove it? [[User:MyRedDice|Martin]] 21:03, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

(to [[User:MyRedDice|Martin]]) Now you have to think what the analogous symbol is for annoying and awkward Wikipedians... ;) -- [[User:Oliver Pereira|Oliver P.]] 09:22, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
How 'bout rats (= "star" spelled backward?) -- [[User:HarmonicSphere|HarmonicSphere]]
Rats: N'rab! [[User:MyRedDice|Martin]]
== unicode barnstars ==
There's &#X272B; (<font size="6">✫</font>) and &#X272C; (<font size="6">✬</font>), so you can even drop them into summaries :) [[User:Marnanel|Marnanel]] 20:27, 14 Aug 2004 (UTC)
== Working Man's Barnstar ==
ummm...so what exactly is the [[Working Man's Barnstar]] awarded for? [[User:Thesilverbail|Deepak]] 21:07, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WMBarnstar.png Working Man's Barnstar] is awarded for "tireless" and/or "unrelenting" work on various wikipedia activities, apparently. I'm not entirely sure how this differs from the new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Barnstar-rotating.gif Tireless Contributor] barnstar, which has just been created and not yet been awarded. (Sorry for the HTTP links, I don't know how else to link directly to an image page.) -- [[User:FirstPrinciples|FirstPrinciples]] 16:29, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
: Check [[Wikipedia:Barnstars on Wikipedia]] - Everything is summarized there quite nicely. -- [[User:ClockworkSoul|{{User:ClockworkSoul/sig}}]] 08:30, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
== Leaf Clusters ==
Dare I propose that added awards on a medal have an appropriate Leaf Cluster? See my addition of a ''[[User:LordSuryaofShropshire#Awards|Banyan Leaf Cluster]]'' to one such award. I thought [[Banyan]] was appropriate foliage because of the association of that award being with [[South Asia]].--[[User:IFaqeer|iFaqeer]] 23:56, Sep 17, 2004 (UTC)
==Who is allowed to award barnstars?==
I've never actually seen anything that says ''who'' may give these out. Can any user do it, or do you have to be an admin? -[[User:Litefantastic|Litefantastic]] 17:49, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)
:Anyone. [[User:Silsor|silsor]] 17:54, Nov 10, 2004 (UTC)
== Barnstar sabotage ==
*User Wanker001 has sabotaged the barnstar image, please somebody correct this... Perhaps this image should be protected from editing?
