'''Hello! I'm Scholarus{{/signature}} from the [[United States of America]].'''

My time here on Wikipedia has been rather short; however, I'm fairly confident that my focus will be expanding historically-related articles. My first step as a Wikipedia Editor was writing the [[Edward Bancroft]] article, a task that was quite interesting. However, besides history I am interested in a variety of other article topics. Learning is my passion; I'll therefore be all over the place trying to help out Wikipedia and learn as I go along.

__TOC__

==Interests==

===TV shows===

Some of my favorite TV shows are:

*[[Seinfeld]]

*[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]

*[[The Cosby Show]]

*[[Grey's Anatomy]]

===Chess===

I'm an experienced tournament player and have a good deal of knowledge about playing the game and also about the history of the game. I have played former world champion [[Garry Kasparov]] twice, both in simultaneous matches (he was playing more than one person at the same time). I obviously lost both times, but it was a blast being able to play him anyway. Other notable chess [[grandmasters]] I have played are [[Yasser Seirawan]], [[Joel Benjamin]], [[Hikaru Nakamura]], [[Lev Alburt]]. One notable thing about the Seirawan game was that I had to leave in the middle of the game- but it killed me to do so because I was ''winning''. Although, even though I was winning, I probably would have lost in the end, so that doesn't really matter. I've also met [[Joshua Waitzkin]], whom you might know from the movie [[Searching for Bobby Fischer]].

===Mathematics===

I am a math geek; I'm proud to say that in second grade I earned the nickname "mathematician." I'm generally best at the calculating parts of math, but I've enjoyed all the math that I've learned. I won't be editing many math articles on Wikipedia as they're beyond my understanding now (I'm in highschool), but perhaps I will in the future.

===Science===

I come from a science background and am interested in all forms of science. My area of expertise in the science field is definitely [[biology]], and I will have no problem editing any biology related articles. I am very interested in the sciences just as I am interested in math, and I hope that I can add meaningful contributions to Wikipedia in this subject matter.

===History===

The majority of articles that I will be a part of will be historically related articles; I find it very interesting to expand a stub of a historical figure. My first major edit on Wikipedia was the construction of the [[Edward Bancroft]] article, which I greatly enjoyed writing. Just like Mathematics and Science, I am very interested in history and am eager to learn more about it.

===Random Stuff===

Here I'll just list some random stuff that I'm particularly interested in:

*[[Harry Potter]]

*[[The Lord of the Rings]]

er...I'm sure I'll think of more later.
