User talk:BrianSmithson/Africa Award

I kind of like the ostrich image. It implies "this user has taken his/her head out of the sand" by writing about Africa. It is a bit whimsical, though. —BrianSmithson 20:19, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I think my top pick would be the giraffe, and then the acacia, but actually I like all four enough that I wouldn't object to any of them. Good thinking in creating this! I've been encountering several users lately via List of Missing Africa Topics that I've wanted to encourage to get into more Africa editing--this award will give us a better way to thank/inspire them. --Dvyost 20:31, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Here is my proposal, it is an adaptation of another award that I am trying to propose as a barnstar, Vote here for the Upholder of the Wiki. Anyway hope you like this one for the Afrika Award.--Jcw69 21:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Very good idea Brian. Regarding the Afrika Award barnstar, I must say that it is the best barnstar I've ever seen in WP. Congras Brian and Jcw69. -- Svest 21:49, 10 December 2005 (UTC)  ^{Wiki me up™}

Oo. I'm sold, Jcw69. Good job. I actually tried doing something like this, but ended up getting called away and had to let it go. I'm glad to see you went ahead and created it. I'll add it to the gallery, but this gets my vote. :) --BrianSmithson 22:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

...and mine as well. Cool stuff! --Dvyost 22:30, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that one! It's beautiful. — mark ✎ 13:09, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
