This also allows us to give them advice to do even better. I don't think there's all too much parallels between the two systems. The achievement system seems to reward more for quantity of edits and consistent activity on the wiki. My suggestion is more for rewarding quality edits and reverting vandalism; granted, if you revert a lot of vandalism, the achievement system may reward you a "Adding 50 images to pages!" achievement.

I think the barnstar system is flawed in other ways– a lot of awards are based on subjectivity, and distribution will end up leaving some deserving editors overlooked.

It's up to y'all. :) (Also, you could leave a post of feedback when awarding such a thing– no need for "either/or" there.)

Maybe we should start using it a bit more, or would it be too similar to a Barnstar?
