Recognition[edit]

To award another user for their efforts, you don't need to be an admin! Awards such as Barnstars can be placed on users talk pages to recognize them for their work, which makes both the giving and receiving users happy. While giving multiple awards to the same user may devalue it's worth, it is encouraged to still recognize those who have committed considerable effort towards bettering the WikiProject or improving the coverage of Somaliland and its related topics on Wikipedia as a whole by giving them an award. Below are examples of the awards most often given in relation to this project, with the last one being specifically WikiProject Somaliland related.
