Hello, fellow Wikipedians! I started editing on Wikipedia officially in December 2011. My interests are mainly in History, Geography, and Linguistics. I'm not particularly focused in one area at the moment, making edits where ever I can. I also wish to make easier links by expanding current pages, and once I become well-read enough to, create articles. However, I do feel that improving the articles that are on Wikipedia are more important than adding more articles (Quality over Quantity). My main edits so far have been history-related, and mainly about the Middle Ages, but, the articles I've worked on to get to GA status are of the natural sciences (Ornithology-related). If I'm not editing, I'm probably reading, whether it be books, or articles on Wikipedia and other sites. If I make any mistakes, do not hesitate to inform me.
I will try to join certain groups when I get the chance.
Topics of Interests
Middle Ages (Mainly c.800 to c.1500)
Holy Roman Empire (and pretty much anything I can find about it, whether it be people, events, culture, facts, etc.)
11th Century England, Spain and Italy (Sicily & Papal States)
14th-18th Century France
Byzantine relations with Western Europe 11th to 15th Centuries
Song Dynasty China (and Early Ming)
Heian, Kamakura, and Edo periods in Japan
Abbasid and Fatimid Caliphates
Early Modern Period (Huguenot & Catholic conflict in 16th and 17th Centuries, & know little of it, though, Worldwide contact within the 16th and 18th centuries)
Spanish Empire (Particulary Spanish Florida, New Spain in Present-Day U.S.)
Restoration England; and America during that era (Have yet to read about it yet, though)
The Inaccessible Island rail (Laterallus rogersi) is a bird found only on
Inaccessible Island in the South Atlantic
Tristan archipelago. This
rail, the smallest extant
flightless bird, was
described by physician
Percy Lowe in 1923. The adult has brown plumage, a black bill, black feet, and red eyes. It occupies most habitats on the island, from the beaches to the central plateau, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates and some plant matter. Pairs are
territorial and
monogamous; both parents incubate the eggs and raise the chicks. The rail's
adaptations to living on a tiny island at high densities include a low
basal metabolic rate, small
clutch sizes, and flightlessness. Unlike many other oceanic islands, Inaccessible Island has remained free from
introduced predators, allowing this species to flourish while many other flightless rails have gone extinct. The species is nevertheless considered
vulnerable, due to the danger of a single catastrophe wiping out the small, isolated population. (Full article...)
Pelléas et Mélisande is an opera in five acts with music by the French composer
Claude Debussy. The French-language
libretto was adapted from
Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist play Pelléas and Mélisande. The plot concerns a love triangle between Prince Golaud, Mélisande (a mysterious young woman he had found lost in a forest), and Golaud's younger half-brother Pelléas. The only opera Debussy ever completed, Pelléas et Mélisande premiered on 30 April 1902 at the
Salle Favart in Paris, performed by the
Opéra-Comique, with
Jean Périer as Pelléas and
Mary Garden as Mélisande. The premiere was conducted by
André Messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work. This poster by the French painter
Georges Rochegrosse was produced for the premiere.Poster credit:

Note: I'm not necessarily the only or major editor (if significant at all) of these articles, however I do wish to see all of these articles reach a GA status at least.
