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! Biblioworm 18:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
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)

Congratulations on reaching 100000 edits. You have achieved a milestone that very few editors have been able to accomplish. The Wikipedia Community thanks you for your continuing efforts. Keep up the good work! ```Buster Seven Talk 21:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
I think it is appropriate to give you a barnstar for disregarding the mistaken oppose vote and allowing the Rfa for User:Go Phightins! to have unanimous support. Perhaps a modest act, but one for which the modest barnstar is probably intended. After I looked into the oppose vote, I had hoped it would be disregarded, which seemed fair under the circumstances. Donner60 (talk) 05:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
The Christina Aguilera WikiProject Thanks You!
As a member of the Christina Aguilera WikiProject, I am very delighted to award you this barnstar for your heavy contributions to Christina Aguilera-related articles, as well as protecting them. Much appreciated, Simon (talk) 04:32, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

The following text is not an actual award, but due to its content, and by the fact it's a message from Mr. Jimbo Wales, it's just as good as an award. Here is the edit he made. Since the message Mr. Wales posted on my talk page ultimately got archived, I have copied and pasted it here for others to read:
You did the right thing. You were polite and sensible throughout. It is no problem. :)--Jimbo Wales 02:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for wishing me happy birthday! I had a great day - well, it could have been better, I spent all day studying for an exam! But let's concentrate on the positives, hmmm? :) My friends got me a great cake, a lot like this one, and since you've been so kind, I saved you a piece. Hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your day :) Riana(talk) 20:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks A, I appreciate your kindness, as always :)
Thank you for your beautiful words and warm wishes on my birthday, dear friend! I took a well-deserved one-day wikibreak and spent it with my family and my friends... and actually had a beer after months of forced abstinence! :) Of course, there's no way I'd forget about you, so I saved a great, tasty piece of chocolate cake just for you - but sorry, no beer left! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to wish me well, and have a wonderful day, dear Acalamari! Love, Phaedriel - 07:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Have you checked your mail lately, Mr. Anderson Acalamari? Tons o'hugs! :) Phaedriel 12:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

The Fried calamari for Acalamari
Here is a treat for your Wiki-birthday. It has been one year since you joined Wikipedia! Happy Wiki user creation anniversary! I had fried calamari today for dinner because I knew that that today, October 19, is your user creation anniversary, and I was thinking about you, so I went to a restaurant and had fried calamari there. I am the one who uploaded the picture of the fried calamari on your left. I took a picture of that fried calamari. NHRHS2010 Talk 22:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
The Fried calamari for Acalamari
Thanks for semi-protecting User talk:12.206.33.125. That blocked IP kept cursing at me on his talk page, which is something I really hate. Since you semi-protected the talk page, I am, once again, awarding you the fried calamari. NHRHS2010 talk 02:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
As with many designs on Wikipedia, this one was of course, inspired by the wonderfully talented Phaedriel, our design Obi Wan.

The following is not an award, but still something that deserves to be placed on the page:
