===Markaci=== |

'''Markaci''' is my third online [[pseudonym]]. I started out as "machogogo" ([[abbreviation|abbreviated]] as 'mgg'), which was the name of a [[stuffed animal]] this one girl in [[primary education|elementary school]] had. I had a [[unrequited love|crush]] on this girl (nothing happened). I later found out that it means "strong girl" in [[Georgian language|Georgian]]. I switched to "markogogo" to include my real name. However, it still contained "girl". |
|||
I changed to Markaci circa [[September 16]], [[2003]]. "Markaci" is a [[portmanteau]] of my real name and the Georgian word for man, "kaci". It is pronounced 'mar-kah-see'. Some people still call me by previous names because they like them better. I still use 'mgg' when names are limited to 3 characters. However, whenever possible I use Markaci. |
|||
==Wikipedia== |
|||
I'm a [[perfectionism|perfectionist]], so my [[Special:Contributions/Markaci|contributions]] consist of many [[spelling]]/[[grammar]] fixes, [[Copy editing|copy edits]], [[Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Links_and_URLs|wikifications]], and [[Wikipedia:Revert|reverts]]. Sometimes I add actual [[Open content|content]], but it depends on how I feel ([[laziness|lazy]] versus motivated). If I create an article, it probably has something to do with [[Canada]]. |

My [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|signature]], including timestamp, is custom. I don't use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> because I can't customize the timestamp portion. Instead, I use [[JavaScript]] ([[/monobook.js]]) and just click a link, and the code [[automagic]]ally appears in the text. The markup of my signature is on the right. [[Newline|Line breaks]] are used for increased [[readability]]. |
|||
I wanted something that wouldn't have a large footprint, but was still easy to read and understand. For my username, I tried various combinations ([[List of Latin phrases#E|e.g]]., —[[User:Markaci|Markaci]]<sup>[[User_talk:Markaci|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Markaci|tribs]]</sub>), but I settled on dividing my pseudonym into [[syllable]]s. The timestamp portion came later, after I questioned [[User:Mzajac|Mzajec]] about his unique signature. My only criticism about this custom timestamp (other than the inability to set it in [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]) is that <nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}}</nowiki> doesn't conform to [[ISO 8601]] — in particular, the absence of the leading zero when it's only one digit. |
