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

 Bomb exploding near the Berghof
The bombing of Obersalzberg was a World War II air raid that targeted a complex of residences and bunkers built for Adolf Hitler at Obersalzberg, Bavaria. It was carried out by 359 Allied heavy bombers on 25 April 1945, during the last days of World War II in Europe. The Allies believed that the German government would use the Obersalzberg complex to command an Alpine Fortress. Many buildings were destroyed, though the Berghof, which was Hitler's residence, and the bunker network were only slightly damaged. Hitler was not present. Two bombers were shot down with the loss of four airmen, and 31 Germans were killed. Historians have identified several motives for the attack, including supporting Allied ground forces, demonstrating the effectiveness of the heavy bomber, convincing die-hard Germans that the war was lost and obscuring the memory of pre-war appeasement policies. The raid was celebrated at the time, but – as the Alpine Fortress proved to be a myth – most post-war histories make little mention of it. (Full article...)

Inveraray Castle is a
Grade A listed country house near
Inveraray in the county of
Argyll, in western Scotland. It is located on the shore of
Loch Fyne, Scotland's longest sea
loch. Designed in part by
William Adam and
Roger Morris, it was constructed from the 1740s and is one of the earliest
Gothic Revival buildings. The current building replaced an earlier 15th-century castle at which
King James V stayed in September 1533. The castle, the seat of the
Duke of Argyll, chief of
Clan Campbell, houses a collection of more than 1,300 pikes, muskets, swords and other weapons, and is open to visitors. This photograph shows the facade of Inveraray Castle in 2010.

Potential Good/Featured Topics
[edit]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.
Will definitely add more topic boxes....
