Revision as of 01:46, 7 March 2007
Misplaced Pages:Service awards
The service awards were proposed in July 2006, with the relevant discussions being here and here. Inspection of both reveals 50/50 for and against, and it seems that the proposal was archived early by Ed. Herostratus, the founder and maintainer of the awards, refuses to resubmit this to Proposed Awards, apparently because he fears delisting, so I am forced to bring this here. I find an award given on the basis of people rather than edits kinda worrying, and somewhat against the principles of Misplaced Pages (people don't matter, edits do). I don't really think this has a place on Misplaced Pages. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Very strong need to keep - we have plenty of awards that are given out because the giver subjectively thinks that the recipeint should receive them. We need these awards, which have refreshingly objective criteria, to keep a balance. Johntex\ 23:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep This gives an idea where users are at in terms of service though some users have more edits than time (or vice versa) than others. Chris 22:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)This comment moved from Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards by Johntex\ 01:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Do not agree with nom's reasoning at all. If nom wanted this listed at "Barnstar and award proposals", and main page-author did do it, nom should have done it instead of punitively MfDing it. Especially since known support level for the template by nom's own admission is ca. 50% as of middle of last year and almost certainly higher now, since page has multiple editors at this point. Don't agree with deletion rationale either. By that reasoning, user pages themselves (the only place these templates are used) should all be deleted too. I think nom is confusing Wikipedian principles for artice writing and policy formation, on the one hand, with user page twiddling, on the other. — SMcCandlish ツ 01:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- I think you're voting on the wrong MfD. In any case, if users want to show how many edits they have and how long they've been here, they can via a userbox. See my page, for example, where I have both. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
