  • As listed above, I think we can use the Hollywood Walk of Fame star for Society, unless you think Hollywood is too US-centric. --Deathphoenix 14:06, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Maybe it is, maybe it isn't... but if we do use it, I think that we should: A) Incorporate it into a common "category" theme of some kind and, B) Clean up the image so that it looks like a barnstar rather than an self-taken picture of a Hollywood star. – ClockworkSoul 14:27, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Maybe the word "Hollywood" could be taken out? -- BRIAN0918  15:32, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Here's a weak attempt on my part. -- BRIAN0918  06:38, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I think that actually works... nice job. – ClockworkSoul 17:46, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Looks good. I have no preference what you use the star for, and I don't mind if you remove it from the list to replace it with something else. My suggestion sat all alone on the talk page for a few months before someone gave me the award. I ask, however, if Hollywood Walk of Fame Barnstar is removed that an appropriate one be replaced on my user space. -- AllyUnion (talk) 18:45, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Of course - as far as I'm concerned, you've more than earned it. – ClockworkSoul 19:03, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I moved this star to Culture, where it's a bit more appropriate. – ClockworkSoul 14:32, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Okay - now what do we call it? edit

Everybody seems to accept this star as it is, so before pasting it up, let's figure a name on it. Keep in mind that the culture star is meant to represent some broad categories: Art, literature, music, philosophy, religion. – ClockworkSoul 04:38, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'll start with the obligatory non-creative name. How about the Barnstar of Fame? I think this star would be best for the categories you describe above... but for "modern" themes. I'm not sure that someone who wrote an article on the advanced teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates ("Morons!", quoth Vizini) would appreciate getting such a barnstar. --Deathphoenix 13:38, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
How's this for an obligatory non-creative name: Barnstar of High Culture? I think that can fit all the categories (art, literature, music, philosophy, religion) there fairly. – ClockworkSoul 13:58, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Even worse idea from me: Culture Barnstar. My brian is fried due to classes at college :( Zscout370 18:17, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The Barnstar of the Arts. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:35, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
The name has a ring to it, but I think that it neglects the other aspects, like philosophy and religion. – ClockworkSoul 15:43, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Proposal edit

The Barnstar of High Culture

The Barnstar of High Culture

Category: Culture (art, literature, music, philosophy, religion)

The Barnstar of High Culture may be awarded to an editor who makes particularly fine culture-related contributions.

This award was introduced on March 232005 by brian0918 and ClockworkSoul, and was designed by AllyUnion and brian0918.

Nothing has been said here for a bit, so I'm going to post this proposal. Because the discussion was not active, I picked the image and name that I liked best. Also, I wasn't sure exactly how to arrange the credits so that it would be both correct and brief, so please feel free to let me know if you don't like anything. I don't want to make any unilateral decions! – ClockworkSoul 15:43, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

    • Also, I am including a "Category" subheading that I was thinking that we could include on all the "category" barnstars. As usual, let me know what you think! – ClockworkSoul 15:43, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Looks good to me. I like the Category subheadings. -- BRIAN0918  20:00, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I'm back! I see things have picked up during my absence. This award looks good to me. I especially liked the idea for the subheading with the category description. One thing: are we starting to add the awards to the project page as they are approved here, or are we waiting until all of the category awards are ready to install them all at once?

          • Perfect. You should get the finished proposals to the barnstar page faster. Bratschetalk random 03:28, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
