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.)

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.

Today's featured article
Shannen Doherty "All Hell Breaks Loose" is the third-season finale of Charmed, an American fantasy series that aired on The WB. It follows Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs), and Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano), three sisters who discover they are witches and use their powers to protect innocents from demons. "All Hell Breaks Loose" was written by Brad Kern and directed by Doherty (pictured), and aired on May 17, 2001. It was the third episode of the series directed by Doherty. In the episode, Prue and Piper are caught using their powers on live television, which proves to have deadly consequences. During filming, Doherty used a Salvador Dalí painting as inspiration for the episode's aesthetic, and helped her co-stars shoot emotionally challenging scenes. A week prior to the episode's airing, Doherty was fired from the series due to a feud with Milano, which resulted in her character being killed off. "All Hell Breaks Loose" has been cited as one of the show's best episodes, with critics highlighting Prue's death. (Full article...)

The Balearic green toad (Bufotes balearicus) is a species in the family Bufonidae, the true toads, native to Italy, Corsica, and the western Mediterranean Sea region. Although named after the Balearic Islands, it was probably introduced there by humans during the Bronze Age. It is mainly a lowland species but can occur up to 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) above sea level. Formerly treated as part of the European green toad complex, genetic studies now recognise it as a distinct species, though limited hybridization occurs where its range overlaps with related green toads. The species has characteristic brownish or reddish-spotted paratoid glands. It is classified as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, although Balearic populations are declining. This female Balearic green toad was photographed near Giuncarico in Tuscany, Italy.Photograph credit: Richard Bartz
