Through words, deeds, and actions, you have shown the true spirit of wikiHow.


From ICGIL - My first barnstar, thank you!



The Patroller's Barnstar



As of 11:34 AM CST or 5:34 PM UTC time, I am pleased to give you this barnstar in honor of your patrolling. You are also the first wikiHowian in 5 months to bypass my patrolling numbers, which has been challenged throughout all of the time, and yet with a true leader was finally called in. When I first came in, you looked like a normal newcomer. However, your quick learning for patrolling and the traditional side, along with the wikiHow policies within two weeks is impressive for many wikiHowians. Even you decided to patrol constantly and steal some of my patrolled edits when I was about to mark them, but your speedy action has saved many wikiHow articles, even with a small patrolling number of 4,500+. You should be proud that you managed to do a task. However, it's Quality over Quantity, but overall, thanks for your help patrolling around this site! :)


From Lily - Thank you, it means a lot!



Quality wikiHow Contributor



GB742- Wow. That's what I think when I see what you've done in a mere month. You have already made over 1,000 contributions, patrolled over 9,800 edits, became a NABer, and much, much more. Let me say this again, IN A MERE MONTH. How do you do it? I have no idea, but you are phenomenal. You show compassion and wikiLove to everyone no matter what. These reasons are why I am awarding you this Barnstar. I can’t imagine wikiHow without you. Thank you, GB742! -Lily


From Chris (EpcotMagic) - Thank you!


From Roselyn - Thank you very much!


From Leon - Thank you so much!



The Patroller's Barnstar



Hi, GB742. I award you this special barnstar, because I have just realized, that you have over 10,000 patrols, and you’ve only been on wikiHow for a month. That’s way more than me. I’m very amazed. I can tell you are strongly dedicated and you have lots of knowledge! You are one of the most helpful people I know, and I can’t wait to see you reach 100,000 patrols! You’re an amazing patroller! -Leon


From Z - Gratias tibi valde!


From ICSIH - Thank you very much, it means a lot!

Please use it to show your appreciation for the truly exceptional wikiHow contributors. Like everything on wikiHow, these awards can be given in the \"wiki way\" meaning that anyone can award them to anyone. They don't require gathering a community consensus or a vote. But that said, let's try and use these awards rarely so they maintain their meaning. \n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Origin-and-Purpose-of-the-Barnstar-Award\">Origin and Purpose of the Barnstar Award<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The idea to award Barnstars at wikHow was originally proposed by <a href=\"\/User:Estel\" title=\"User:Estel\">Nathan Wong<\/a>. It was inspired by the the creation of the Barnstar as a Wiki award by <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/usemod.com\/cgi-bin\/mb.pl?SunirShah\">SunirShah<\/a> on <a href=\"\/index.php?title=Meatball:BarnStar&amp;redlink=1\" class=\"new\" title=\"Meatball:BarnStar (page does not exist)\">MeatballWiki<\/a> and the common usage at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barnstars_on_Wikipedia\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikipedia:Barnstars on Wikipedia\">Wikipedia<\/a>. In <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usemod.com\/cgi-bin\/mb.pl?BarnStar\">Sunir's words<\/a>, the goal of the barnstar was to celebrate fantastic displays of wiki community effort: \n<\/p><p>\"One of (the wiki community) most central values is BarnRaising. We believe in building things collaboratively and collectively. To do this, each person plays their part, for sure. Some people create content. Other people edit. Some reorganize. Others bridge...to other communities. Some write software. Others manage projects. There are as many ways to contribute as there are hands helping. Occasionally, a person stands out above the rest and does something none of us would have thought of doing or were too lazy to do. They give a large gift to the community that shines against the background of our daily smaller gifts. Sometimes we thank them and maybe even congratulate them for a job well done. Sometimes we merely appreciate their contribution silently. Certainly people here know their work is appreciated and respected, but that isn't always enough.\"\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Image-Credit\">Image Credit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The barnstar image is a public domain image created by Sunir Shah of the Meatball Wiki community.
