Wikipedia:Service awards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shortcut: WP:SERVICE

Editor service awards are simply a way of acknowledging editors who have made significant contributions over a long period, and to provide for editors who are so inclined a displayable mark of long service.

Unlike other awards, editor service badges are achieved strictly by a mechanical count of time of service and number of edits. There is no process for receiving the awards - you just pick the badge up yourself if you're eligible. This is one award that is intended to be given to yourself. (Of course they can also be given to eligible editors by a second party.)

1 Levels

[edit] Levels

"Tutnum" etc. are alternative terms for those who find "yeoman editor", "senior editor" etc. too stuffy. For the same reason, two badges for each level are provided. Editors may display the one of their liking, or for that matter both. Or neither. ("Burba" is Italian for "Rookie", according to Babelfish; "Novato" Portugese for "Beginner"; "Grognard" ("Grumbler" in French) was Napoleon's pet name for his Old Guard; and "Tutnum" is just a made-up word.)
