Whether an editor collaborates with a team of editors on a WikiProject or is improving articles independently, an editor can give a Wikipedia award (often a barnstar) to another deserving editor.
Editors may reward vigorous Wikipedia contributors for their hard work and due diligence by awarding them a fitting barnstar, or other award. In addition to these virtual awards, editors may nominate someone to receive a gift in the mail from the Wikimedia Foundation.
A list of barnstar awards is available at Barnstar award templates.
