User:The Obento Musubi/Archive 3

Welcome!

Welcome to my userpage! I have been a Wikipedia user since June 6, 2006. I am not an administrator, but I nominated myself on January 5, 2008, but soon withdrew it, as I realized that I wasn't even close to being ready for administratorship. I am a frequent contributor to music-related articles, namely The Carpenters.

Even though I have not yet written any featured articles, I have tried to get The Carpenters featured numerous times, and I've held a few peer reviews for The Carpenters.

If you have any questions for me, or simply wish to leave me a note, then please go to my talk page. If you just want to say "I was at his userpage!" then go to my guestbook and leave a brief message with four tildes ~~~~ following your message.

I wrote a guideline regarding conduct and editing on Wikipedia on January 4, 2008 called "The Abridged Guide to Wikipedia". If you are a new user and are unsure of how to start pages and edit using wikitext, then you should visit it and give it a brief skimming.

I design templates, and this whole page was designed by me, with indirect help from Bella Swan. If you want me to help you with making a page similar to mine, please contact me on my talk page, and perhaps we can work something out. I am happy to help all users on Wikipedia who aren't vandals or disruptive members.

I have a secret page which is not located at User:The Obento Musubi/Secret page. If you can find it, you can earn yourself a complimentary barnstar acknowledging the fact that you went to my user page and found my secret page! If you, however, steal my barnstar without actually finding my secret page, then I will make sure that you get reprimanded, or at the very least, I will remove or edit your barnstars section of your user space.

About me

In reference to Paul McCartney's song, a bento is like a "Lunch Box/Odd Sox".

I am a wikipediholic, as I scored 8,819 on the Wikipediholism test. As described on the test page, "The effects of Wikipediholism have affected you spiritually. You incorporate Wikipedian standards... religiously." I am, as of January 26, 2008, user number 3,778 on the list of Wikipedians by number of edits. I now have over 9,000 edits on Wikipedia! I contribute to the design of templates (userboxes and infoboxes especially), and music-related pages (that task is reserved for my alternate account).

I am a high school student, and I like listening to rock/pop/disco from the 1970s. I remember the days of the Nintendo 64, and I own a record player, as well as a huge collection of records from the 1970s.

I usually contribute to articles on Wikipedia related to music (especially that of the 1970s) like The Carpenters, Paul McCartney, and Queen, but I strive to make templates better, spread WikiLove, and do grammatical edits. As a user of Wikipedia, I am happy to help you peer review any article you want, and even review it for good article and featured article nominations. Please feel free to contact me if you're interested in having me peer review articles for you.

Wikipedia tends to be my safe haven, where I can read other people's thoughts, do research, and contribute to the community. When I get stressed from being around others, I log on to Wikipedia and start editing.

Here's a little weird tidbit about me. I am related to the current Mayor of Hawaii, Mufi Hannemann. I met him personally twice, and the second time, he smiled, asked me how I was doing, and patted me on the shoulder. I also went to the same school as professional golfer Tadd Fujikawa. On January 26, 2008, I saw KITV weather reporter Ben Gutierrez at the Apple Store located at Ala Moana Center.

Special Thanks

Wikipedia means a lot to me because it is a very interactive encyclopedia that users can be a part of. Many Wikipedians have made me feel welcomed, and I would like to extend a thanks back to those editors. So thank you to the following:

Milestones

My account has had many milestones in its edit history.

My userpage has had milestones in its designing process. Here is a list of changes it went through:

• January 12, 2008 - Created a modified version of Portal:Box-header in my userspace, and used that instead of the portal version; substituted all of my templates in userspace.
• January 5, 2008 - Ditched old design, and created this
• January 2, 2008 - Archived page, and started this
