This was mentioned briefly at [[MarioWiki:Personal images]] and so I researched what the main base, [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]], does for these awards. Basically, custom-made images (often stars) are "handed" (added) to user pages, with the name of the hander/awarder. Some users even have a subpage at [[Special:Mypage/Awards]] with a gallery of these. See [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Awards|here]] for more. While 100 awards is way too much for this wiki, I think occasional (once or twice a month) recognition for good contributions (possibly in certain fields), uploading, etc is a good idea (10?).

==Funny Captions in Images==
I've noticed several images with captions that are "jokes".  For example, the Charlieton article has an image caption that reads, "Needs a shave?"  If such quips were added to the article itself, it would be deleted as vandalism.
So, should these captions be allowed, or reversed to more serious ones?[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|Waluigi Freak 99]] 18:39, 13 October 2006 (EDT)
