A brief introduction

edit

Welcome to my userpage. I'm User:ChamithN and I started editing Wikipedia in 2014. I mainly edit articles related to computer science and entertainment; however, I'd be glad to help if someone needs my assistance for articles outside of my comfort zone. I tend to make a lot of typos over the course of editing. So, if you come across any (even in my talk page comments), feel free to revert/fix them, and/or ask me for clarification. I believe in WP:BRD cycle; ergo, I'm always up for civil and meaningful discussions. If you have any questions regarding editing Wikipedia, feel free to ask at the Teahouse or my talk page.

Ujelang Atoll, where Martín was marooned
Ujelang Atoll, where Martín was marooned

Lope Martín (marooned 21 July 1566) was an Afro-Portuguese maritime pilot. Martín was a free mulatto from Lagos, Portugal, who became a licensed pilot in Spain. He was contracted for Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition from Mexico to the Philippines and was the pilot of a patache called the San Lucas. Martín and the San Lucas separated from the rest of the fleet and sailed through the Marshall Islands and the Caroline Islands before arriving at the Philippines. Without the rest of the fleet, Martín then embarked upon the return voyage from Asia to the Americas and arrived in Mexico. The Real Audiencia of Mexico ordered him to return to the Philippines and appear before Legazpi, who was expected to execute him for having deserted the rest of his fleet. Martín's ship, the San Jerónimo, departed Mexico and Martín led mutinies and took command of the ship. He anchored the San Jerónimo at Ujelang Atoll (pictured) in July 1566, where Martín and 26 other men were left behind and never seen again. (Full article...)

Female black-faced blenny
Territorial male black-faced blenny

The black-faced blenny (Tripterygion delaisi) is a species of fish in the family Tripterygiidae, the threefin blennies. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent Atlantic Ocean coasts, at depths from 3 to 40 metres (10 to 130 ft), and prefers shaded areas such as rock faces and crevices. During the breeding season, territorial males develop a characteristic yellow body with a black head, while females and other males are coloured grey-brown for camouflage. The black-faced blenny produces a red fluorescent signal using specialised cells in the iris, which it can regulate in brightness. Males defend nesting territories beneath overhangs, aggressively repelling intruders and defending the eggs from predators until they hatch. These black-faced blennies, one female and the other a territorial male, were photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, off the Portuguese coast.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
