Warriors Wiki talk:Awards/Archive 1

Members and what to do with the Awards
Okay, we gotta decide if we're going to just let people join, or if we're going to sorta vote them in or volunteer or are asked, and how many of them are going to be in this. Perhaps just 5 or 6 to begin with, and once this is lifted off the ground, we can let more in, etc.

After all this is done and good, we can decide how we're going to do these awards and how they're given out and what awards there's actually going to be.

Ideas? 02:52, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

I think awards based on editing would be an awesome way to encourage people to help out around the main space more. 03:18, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Awards based around editing the (Main) space would be fantastic, and would influence new users to contribute more. Awards on who has contributed most around certain projects would be great, too, possibly an award based around how many edits a user has, like milestones, like when they hit 1000, 5000, 10000, etc.... Also, as I said earlier, I agree with the whole members thang. 04:22 Fri Feb 15

For now I'd say 5-6 members who would make the awards since we still have to determine a layout and such, and like we did with the leader vote, people can just nominate other users. I feel as though it'd be hard to keep track of all the users who've hit 1,000, ect. and of course as we've seen with the chat, people can spam edits with minute changes that should not be awarded. And like Trolly said, let's leave the actually awards for another discussion. 04:30, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Mmhm. People who can do a bit of coding ideally. I suppose we can check their contributions or something, but I dunno. 04:52, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... we don't really need that many people to make the awards, per say. Five or six is a good number, and if we need more as the project advances, then I'm sure we can add more. Perhaps a "coordinators" (or something like that...) section, for those who are involved with the coding aspect, and another section for those who actually participate within the other aspects of the project? I would think that would be the creation of the award names, and the qualifications, requirements, ect. Not saying that those who code can't comment, but perhaps they should be separated so at least we know which users are going to work on the creation of the physical awards and such? I dunno, just throwing out ideas.

I actually really like that idea o3o It'll let people who don't mess around with coding give ideas to the project, and like who to ask if there's something wrong with the coding of the awards or whatever else might happen to them. (Though I gotta get my butt around to finding people who can do the coding screech) 04:46, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

I think this would be a good idea c: We can earn awards by helping the wiki out, and we can show them off to the wiki, which will probably encourage them to try and earn them too, and so on. I feel that it would be a great, fun project to have, and so everyone feels that their editing is going towards applause as well as the thrill it gives us. -Feather 11:53, February 18, 2013 (UTC)

You could do like Cloudy said and split the project into two aspects, one for coding and one for giving out and making awards, and vote in two or so leads for each part. The rest of that group could be made up of normal members. That way, the project doesn't start off with only leads, but there are at least a few. 12:46, March 12, 2013 (UTC)

I quite like Skye's idea, and I really support it. The coders and the award givers (excuse my lack of better wording) can do what they do, and it'll be less messy than if we just did warriors and senior warriors etc 09:22 Wed Mar 13

As so I. Berry said it; it might not be well organized if we had the usual warriors and such sections, but Cloudy's example seems like a good idea.

Cloudy's example seems like an excellent idea, I support it fully. 01:29, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, since it seems people support her idea, shall we go with nominating, similar to the userbox project? Or something different? 01:37, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... for the coding aspect, I'd think a nomination process would be a good idea. That way we can separate those who want to take care of that, and have them get on their way. As for those who /give out/ the awards, they should be nominated as well, that way we're not acting bias in the least as to who gets what position, and each and every user can have their say. Or, we could just have whomever give out the awards, and not have them set to a specific group. Either/or, I'm in support of whatever's decided.

'Kay, for clarification purposes, there are just a small group who will handle coding while everyone else helps with the aspects of the project, right? I do not think it's a good idea to designate certain users to give out awards. Actually I'm strongly against that idea because it completely defeats the purpose of the idea of barnstars which was what we agreed on in the first place. Everyone on the wiki is an "award giver" and there are just a few people who have an extra responsibility to take care of the coding aspect. 02:00, March 22, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, on the agreement of having a select group of users to handle coding, shall we begin nominating and voting users to be our coders? 13:26 Wed Apr 24

I'd say go for it. Looks like a general agreement to me, although I don't think there needs to be all that many, maybe two or three. 13:46, April 24, 2013 (UTC)

Aye. 18:19, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

Yep.^ I think we should go ahead. 04:48, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

I don't mean to be pushy, but it's been almost two months, and nothing has really been done about this. Could there possible be a forum or page be setup if we were to nominate?

Joining
I'm just ready to do this project.

I'm sorry, Aprilfeather, but we are only selecting a small number of users to join this project at the moment. If you are nominated, than that's all well and good, but I cannot add you into the project unless that happens. 13:28 Wed Apr 24

Could I join? 17:45 Sun Oct 6

As stated above, Cream, we're only letting a select amount of users to join the project who have been nominated to do the job. 14:12 Mon Nov 4

Stepping down
Okay guys, I'm sorry about this, but I don't have the time or really even the commitment to be leader of this project anymore. I've been busy as hell and the fact is nothing is going to get done with me as leader around here. So I'm gonna step down and let someone else take over, someone who actually has the time and motivation to make this project into what it should be. 02:45, September 29, 2013 (UTC)
