[edit] Derivations
I was thinking of this the other day,and it it struck me that the name of the Quarren and Mon Cal homeplanet may be derived from the words Salmon and Calamari,well calamari is Italian for squid,and the Mon Cals do have the large fish eyes and some do have a salmon coloring,,and most associate the color and image of Admiral Ackbar with the name of Mon Cal.

- There is some similarity in how they sound, but to include information like this in Wikipedia we'd need some sort of external source backing it up as well. The Wikipedia:No original research policy seems applicable here. Bryan
[edit] Inaccuracies
I don't think Mon Calamari can breathe underwater. In Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple , Bant, a Mon Calamarian, is imprisoned underwater. The book describes the urgency in getting her out, saying "Bant could survive for long periods of time, but she needed air to breathe."" Inclusive disjunction 03:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mon calamari.jpg
Image:Mon calamari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
