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?
ภาษาไทย: ด้วยความสัตย์จริงเลยนะ, ผมได้สร้างหน้านี้ เพราะผมก็ไม่ได้รู้ว่าโดยมารยาทแล้วควรจะจัดการกับสิ่งเหล่านี้ยังไงดี. แต่พวกมันก็อยู่บนหน้าผู้ใช้ของผมมาเป็นแรมเดือนแล้ว, ผมจะมีสิทธิ์ลบมันออกได้งั้นเหรอ, มันจะเป็นการหยาบคายไปรึเปล่า ถ้าผมจะทำเช่นนั้นลงไป? หรือว่าผมควรจะเก็บมันไว้หยั่งงี้, มันจะเป็นทัศนคติที่แย่รึเปล่า?
Español: Hice esta página porque no sé la regla de etiqueta en estos casos. Han estado en mi página desde hace meses; podría tacharlos, pero ¿no sería un grosero? Debo quedarme con los premios, o ¿sería de mal gusto también?
Deutsch: Ich erstellte diese Seite, weil ich die Etikette bezüglich dieser Sachen nicht kenne. Sie waren monatelang auf meiner Benutzerseite…darf ich sie löschen, wäre das unhöflich? Sollte ich sie speichern, würde das auch von schlechtem Geschmack zeugen?
Català: Vaig fer aquesta pàgina perquè no sabia què era d'etiqueta en aquests casos. Han estat a la meva plana d'usuari durant mesos; les podria esborrar, però no seria molt groser? Me les hauria de quedar, o també seria de mal gust?
Italiano: Ho creato questa pagina perché non so quali siano le regole da seguire in questi casi. Sono rimaste sulla mia userpage per dei mesi, posso cancellarle o sarebbe maleducato? E se le tenessi, sarebbe di cattivo gusto?

עברית: בכנות, אני עשיתי את דף זה משום שאני לא יודע את כללי התנהגות על הדברים האלה. הם כבר בדף המשתמש שלי במשך חודשים, האם מותר לי למחוק אותם, זה יהיה גס רוח? אני צריך לשמור אותם, היא חסרת טעם גם כן? 0

Anyhow, I moved them here.  :-)
ภาษาไทย: แต่จะยังไงก็เถอะ, ผมก็ย้ายมันมาไว้ซะที่นี่หละ.  :-)
Español: Así que decidí moverlos aquí. :-)
Deutsch: Wie auch immer, ich habe sie hierher verschoben :-)
Català: Així que vaig decidir posar-los aquí. :-)
Italiano: Comunque, le ho spostate tutte qui. :-)

עברית: בכל אופן, העברתי אותם לכאן. :-) 0

  • 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)

Award Distinction User Date
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)

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)

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 (possibly definitely the GREATEST encyclopedia there ever is, has been, and ever will be (I hope!)). Put simply, you deserve it. Stwalkerster 18:40, 25 April 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)
