block log barnstar

The idea of the block log barnstar is that it is awarded in the quite rare situations when a long term contributor that has a good record for perhaps years and has received a minor block for a minor issue resulting in a smudge on his or her often clean block log. Occasionally we all get involved and perhaps a little bit heated, usually because we care about the project and occasionally on these rare occasions an administrator takes the perhaps unnecessary step to protect the wikipedia from such a contributor for a small length of time - the extremely good faith purpose of this block log barnstar is to add a word of appreciation and support for what is often in these rare situations a quality contributor, and also to add a dash of lightheartedness.


The block log Barnstar
(award details) - I would like to use this opportunity to thank User:***** for his or her fine contributions to wikipedia over the years and welcome him or her to the contributors that got a little heated club and allegedly made that caring extra revert. Many thanks for all your work here. Respect and best wishes to you from Off2riorob (talk)


As I said, these situations are rare and the barnstar is not a common award - so if you are awarded the barnstar. it is indeed in appreciation of your quality contributions to the project, so please, wear it with pride. So you do not feel isolated in this moment, take support from myself and the other recipients of this barnstar: -

  • - User:Itsmejudith -not for making a caring extra revert but for a single edit. The block (for one week and to a clean block log, without any warning) was rapidly reviewed by the arbitration committee and overturned - July 2012
  • - User:Icairns - January 2012 - note - sadly the block was too much for him and he indefinitely blocked his account, requested removal of his administrator rights and resigned.
