- I took over this award from Karmafist after a deletion debate to ensure non-admins would be able to view its history. - Mgm|(talk) 10:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a tradition of users awarding things called Barnstars to other users for a variety of things to help out the project. However, I think when someone becomes an administrator, for all the potential grief they deserve more than just the star, they deserve the entire barn.
So, for each user I vote approval for on at Requests for Adminship, I offer them a barn to do with as they like.
At first I used the pictures at the barn article, but eventually i'd like to take pictures of other barns throughout New England, and trust me, we've got enough for an entire wiki on barns, the only obstacle is procrastination.
Please feel free to join this tradition by taking your own pictures of barns or awarding barns to users you believe are worthy of administratorship. Karmafist 23:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
