[edit] Apprehension
With no offence meant, aren't you propagating editcountitis and accountageitis with this award (the very things that we keep arguing about for ages on WP:RFA)? And, why should an implicit hierarchy of awards be created? --Gurubrahma 06:19, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- As far as I know, there is no way that the greatest members of Wikipedia can be truly congratulated for their efforts and made to really feel how important they are to us. That is why this award exists. I am not trying to force editcountitis or accountageitis, but if they do make such a huge contribution to Wikipedia then they should be thanked.

- P.S. I have now reworded the page. I hope it is now more appealing to your ideals. The Neokid 18:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandals
I hope you realise that a large majority of wikipedias good editors and admins have vanadlised wikipedia when they started, just to see if they could. Your requirement excludes a large majority of the population. Mike (T C)

- I have changed the requirements so that only users who are vandalise-only editors are dissallowed. Better? The Neokid - Wikihalo Project Director talk 17:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Honestly I'd just drop it, if they only vandalise, they are either perm blocked, or not interested in voting in anything. Sockpuppets on the other hand is the problem (as you covered). Also per your rules, you cannot vote =) Mike (T C) 17:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- Wrong. Although it will be 2 days until this username has been on for a month, I have been on for much longer but I changed my username. The Neokid - Wikihalo Project Director talk 17:59, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

What is the purpose of this project? What is the difference from Wikipedia:Barnstars...? Also, did you read Wikipedia:Projects? How many others are involved here already? ~MDD4696 23:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Whoah!
- Purpose: Reward the very best editors.
- Difference: Different requirements and cannot be given by anyone.
- Wikipedia:Projects: Yes.
- Others: Unknown...

[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 14:31, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Delete
I can't believe someone is going to just swoop in and nominate this for deletion. What a jerk move incredibly inconsiderate move, a move that completely ignores the community of users trying to make wikipedia a friendlier place. Instead of discussing it on the talk pages of the award, or going to the Awards and Proposals page, Pepsidrinka just up and nominates it for deletion. evrik 19:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC) with edits evrik 21:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- It is not a jerk move. If you have any problems with the nomination, or you want to have a voice, do so at the nomination page at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Wikihalo. Pepsidrinka 20:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nowiki Tags
Why have nowiki tags when you can just use includeonly tags? --GeorgeMoney T·C 01:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Problems
Umm, we really don't "vote" here. See m:Voting is evil, Meatball:VotingIsEvil and Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_democracy. What we do on Wikipedia is discuss things, and try to come to a sort of consensus. And I don't think that WikiHalos are needed: what's wrong with a barnstar? Bratschetalk 19:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. All decisions will be reached through discussion except on the nominations, as you really have to vote on that (and all of the other nominations do!). The Neokid talk 17:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Requests For User Banning
NONE
Sockpuppets shouldn't be able to vote. -- user:zanimum
- Please see the requirements at Wikipedia:Wikihalo nomination. Sockpuppets are already not allowed. The Neokid talk 15:53, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ???
Hi. I belive i might have been visited by a vandal. My userpage was awarded with a wikihalo. As much as i would love to recive this wikihalo, i dont think the person who gave it to me did it in Good Faith. So i guess im gonna have to report this user User:AwarderofHalos. I guess you have to take away my award now. Frankly id rather not have a award if it wasnt earned or given to me in good faith. Thank You Hubert Derus 21:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
-
- And likewise me. I was happy to see the award — and the designation "for the constant reversion of vandalism and general improvement of wikipedia" probably does apply — but I, too, received it from User:AwarderofHalos.
-
- I'll take it down from my page. Since Hubert, above, and I are doing this voluntarily, you might want to create some enforcement/verification mechanism, since other Awarders of Halos might spread these things around.
-
- Also, just thinking, and you may have discussed this already when devising the Wikihalo, but there are an awful lot of bad-faith users out there who, when edits are properly done through consensus and verified/cited, etc., get heatedly uncivil and may try to "Swift boat" otherwise deserving candidates. Is there a mechanism for recognizing this? Thanks -- Tenebrae 11:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
