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.)

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)
Mughal India
And pretty much any facet of History from c.375 up to c.1815.

Today's featured article
John Bullock Clark Sr. (April 17, 1802 – October 29, 1885) was an American militia officer and politician. A lawyer with a colorful reputation, he was also an officer in the Missouri militia. During the 1838 Mormon War, Clark was given the Extermination Order. A candidate in the 1840 gubernatorial election, he was later a member of the Missouri state legislature. In 1857, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives. After the American Civil War began in 1861, he became a general in the pro-secessionist Missouri State Guard. He fought against the United States military at the Battle of Carthage and was expelled from the House. Clark later resigned his military commission to join the Provisional Confederate Congress. A Confederate senator for a term, he was not re-appointed due to concerns about his personal behavior. He was subsequently elected to the Confederate House of Representatives. Clark fled to Mexico after the defeat of the Confederacy, but later returned to Missouri. (Full article...)

Picture of the Day

Picture of the day

Le droit d'aînesse ("The Birthright") is an opéra bouffe composed by Francis Chassaigne. The original French libretto was written by Eugène Leterrier and Albert Vanloo, with an English-language version titled Falka translated and adapted by Henry Brougham Farnie. The story concerns an arranged marriage intended to make a governor's heir, his nephew, an aristocrat. Through a series of mishaps that place the governor's nephew and his niece each in danger, the niece, Falka, becomes the noble heir. Falka was first produced at the Comedy Theatre in London on 29 October 1883, the same year as the French premiere, with Violet Cameron in the title role of Falka, running for 157 performances. It was revived at the Avenue Theatre in 1885, still starring Cameron, and also enjoyed successful productions in Australia, New Zealand and the United States, including productions in 1884 and 1900 on Broadway. This poster for Falka was produced for a production at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1885.Poster credit: David Allen & Sons Ltd.; restored by Adam Cuerden
