As humans, we all like a little recognition for our work. Whether it is winning the parking spot for employee of the month or receiving a Nobel Prize for some major breakthrough for which the world is grateful, everyone appreciates getting a nod for their work.
Wikipedians are no different. On any given day, a number of Wikipedians receive barnstars, awards, and honorable mentions from their fellow contributors to honor and thank the editors in question for all manner of different tasks. These awards differ, depending on the tasks performed. From barnstars which honor work from a number of mainstream sources, to awards issued by individual Wikipedians to recognize unique assistance or accomplishments and honorable mentions for working on a lesser task, anyone and everyone can earn an award for almost any type of constructive edit.
This essay will serve as a walk through on the different kinds of awards offered, the general nature that the award in question seeks to honor, and the reasons for which they are given.
