I think people who greatly contribute to WP:SPOKEN should get a barnstar like the one above. The criteria should be something like you have to do one of the following:

• Create ten good Spoken Wikipedia articles (only three people currently qualify).
• Create several long, high quality Spoken Wikipedia articles (a few might qualify).
• Do an incredibly good job making a Spoken Wikipedia article of one very long and very tricky featured article, possibly by adding external audio (nobody yet, I think).

This recognition of non-text contributions is in the same spirit as the Photographer's barnstar.

I like the first image with the headphone. Kind of captures the spirit of the spoken project. Bratsche^{talk 5 pillars} 01:21, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the first image has already been awarded to two users. Sango123 02:16, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Should we just accept it then? I think it works just fine. Bratsche^{talk 5 pillars} 13:57, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Sure, why not? Is a vote necessary in this case, or do we jump right to the final proposal (with the first image)? Sango123 15:38, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Well, I don't know about the vote. Here's the proposal:

The Spoken Barnstar Category: Spoken articles The Spoken Barnstar may be awarded to an editor who creates three or more high-quality spoken articles for Wikipedia. This award was introduced on May 29, 2005 and designed by Chameleon.

Here's my proposal: — Chameleon 20:53, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Spoken Barnstar Category: Spoken articles. See WP:SPOKEN The Spoken Barnstar may be awarded to an editor who makes outstanding contributions in the form of spoken articles for Wikipedia. Outstanding contributions may include: recording ten good articles, recording three featured articles, or doing an incredibly good job of recording one long, complex, excellent, featured article despite all odds. This award was introduced on May 29, 2005 and designed by Chameleon.

Vote or Die?

Shall we accept the first proposal (above) for the Spoken Barnstar?

Yes Bratschetalk 5 pillars 15:55, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) Sango123 17:01, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC) Deathphoenix 12:08, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No No, just three spoken articles is too easy. I've done it already. I think that it should be awared for "outstanding contributions" to the Spoken project, with the criteria I gave above being the guidelines for deciding what counts as outstanding. — Chameleon 14:50, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Shall we accept the second proposal (above) for the Spoken Barnstar?

Yes Yep — Chameleon 20:53, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC) Sounds good. Sango123 21:01, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) That's a better criteria. Bratschetalk 5 pillars 21:16, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC) Sure. The criteria for awarding a barnstar is never set in stone anyway. People are free to award these things however they see fit. --Deathphoenix 11:53, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No no votes

Everyone who has voted for the first proposal has reconsidered and voted for the final proposal. Is it safe to close this vote? Sango123 June 28, 2005 17:20 (UTC)

Yeah, it's safe. I'll do it right now. --Deathphoenix 28 June 2005 18:28 (UTC)
