I joined Misplaced Pages on October 19, 2006, though the logs say that I joined on the 20. That's only because of time differences, since Misplaced Pages is on a different time to me. The main reason I decided to register with Misplaced Pages was so I could correct minor errors in articles. I have fixed mistakes that I know I can correct. However, I have done much more than just sort out minor errors, and as a result, my contributions are much, much better than they were.

My major mainspace contributions to Misplaced Pages include heavy editing to the Fergie (singer), Christina Aguilera, Pussycat Dolls, Anna Nicole Smith, and Paris Hilton articles. I have also done a lot of editing to the Aly & AJ, Nicky Hilton, Shakira, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Haylie Duff, Mandy Moore, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Alyson Michalka, and Amanda Michalka articles. I've done many changes to several Star Trek related pages as well, including cleaning up List of Starfleet ship classes and USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E.
I created the Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Brooke Hogan, Trina, Missy Higgins, Laura Branigan, and Corinne Bailey Rae templates, and I've done a lot of work on other templates, most notably on Fergie, Rihanna, The Pussycat Dolls, and Editor review doc.
I also alerted an administrator about a virus I found on one of the Christina Aguilera articles. This virus has been sorted out, though I do occasionally check the sites I found it on.
Upon hearing about the deaths of Molly Ivins and Anna Nicole Smith, I went straight to those articles to help out. It is sad that some people vandalized these pages when they heard about the deaths.
I was in a mediation case as well, and I have been involved in many important discussions. I help deal with sockpuppets and trolls, vandals, and other disruptive users. On a nicer note, I give help to users whenever I can, and if my Misplaced Pages skills don't cover what a user needs, I will always check the Misplaced Pages help pages or ask an someone who I know has the knowledge of something I'm not totally familiar with.
December 22, 2006, 02:58; reached 500 contributions. It was a message to "Talk: Kylie Ireland".
January 17, 2007, 18:24; reached 1000 contributions. It was an edit to "List of Starfleet starships ordered by class", in the "Constellation class" section.
March 5 2007, 23:49; reached 3500 contributions. This was an edit to "Adam Sandler" article.
May 18 2007, 03:52; reached 10000 contributions. This was a minor edit to "Starfleet".
June 11 2007, 23:27; reached 12000 contributions. It was an edit to the article "Tamia", and I removed an image with no source and no copyright status.
According to Misplaced Pages: List of Wikipedians by number of edits, I am our 758 highest user with the most edits. However, this does not mean I am "higher ranking" than other editors; it just means I'm on the list.
Another thing: this user page has been vandalized 58 1/2 times. I thank all the kind users who have reverted the vandalism.
Plus: When the English-Language Misplaced Pages reached 1,500,000 articles, I typed in this message to acknowledge Misplaced Pages.
Finally, here is a link to my first editor review: W:ER/Acalamari. I encourage you to take a look; that way you'll see the review, as well as find out my total number of contributions to Misplaced Pages.
Former proposals: User: Acalamari/Warning Removals and User: Acalamari/IWN.
I can also be found on Meta at m:User:Acalamari.
Origin Of Acalamari
The meaning of my username: Acalamari does not have anything to do with me being a squid. It is named after the animal, and it is also named after a fictional planet called "Mon Calamari". The "A" at the front separates it from "calamari". I also think the name Acalamari just looks and sounds good.
For some reason, some people don't seem to be able to spell my name right. Instead, they just put "Aclamari", "Alcamari", "Alacamari", or "Acamalari". I do not know why they aren't able to spell it correctly. Acalamari is easy to spell, but some users still type it wrong. As for the pronunciation of my username, I pronounce it as "Ac-ala-mari" instead of "A-calamari" or "Acal-amari". How others pronounce my username doesn't bother me.
My username has also been parodied, or "spoofed", as Persian Poet Gal calls it. Here is a list of my parodied/spoofed names:
Acalamari has a WikiCrush on Alison (talk · contribs)
Acalamari would like to see Natalie Erin's "inner angle" (talk · contribs)
Acalamari would like to see Natalie Erin's "fertile crescent" (talk · contribs)
I've also encountered certain users who are opposed to me. See these edits:

Barnstars
These barnstars and other awards are on a subpage. I wish to thank HighInBC for both creating the subpage and for awarding me my first barnstar. My RfA/RfB-related awards are located on User: Acalamari/RfA-related awards.
My three most recent barnstars are transcluded onto my user page:
|
Bureaucrat's award |
| Hi Acalamari,
I've seen that you've been closing most of the recent RfAs, and I thought I'd give you this just so you know that your work doesn't go unnoticed. Keep it up! |
|
The Bureaucrat's Barnstar | |
| Time and time again, the bureaucrats of en-wiki demonstrate their levelheadedness and expertise. Like an anesthesiologist in an operating room, you spend most of your time screwing around reading a magazine, but stand ready to spring into action when needed, only to fade into the background once your important work is done.
Or perhaps that's more like Batman? Whatever your preferred metaphor, I am consistently impressed by the bureaucrat corps. Thank you for your service. HiDrNick! 12:46, 6 August 2015 (UTC) |

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | |
| After serving as a Wikipedian for exactly 10 years, this is for the countless contributions you've made throughout the past decade. Very few people I know of have even come close to working on the site for so long. That takes serious dedication. Happy 10th Anniversary! Yes; I timed this to coincide with the very minute you registered your account per UTC time. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:29, 20 October 2016 (UTC) |
