Goals

My goals as an editor of wikipedia are

To increase the amount of available knowledge

Knowledge is an important thing to people, and adding to it is a great task to accomplish.
Also it may help a person who needs certain information.
Wikipedia is a free source of knowledge and deserves to be as good a possible; I hope to make it better.

To contribute to the comunity

Wikipedia is a community effort, that needs everyones collaboration to succeed.
Also, it is more than just text; it is the effort of people from every part of the world.
Many people believe that Wikipedia is "no good", and I'll try to change their minds by writing higher quality articles.

and to learn in the process

As I progress and grow I will aquire more knowledge naturally.
And Perhapse, I will learn more about myself along the way.

Featured Article

Shovel Knight Showdown is a 2019 fighting video game developed and published by Yacht Club Games. It is an add-on to the platform game Shovel Knight. Players battle using one fighter among twenty characters, each with various movesets and fighting styles. Modes include "Treasure Clash", to collect the most gems, and a "free for all" battle to death. In story mode, a single player battles against AI-controlled opponents across several stages before facing a boss. Completing this mode with each fighter allows the player to unlock new stages and characters. Yacht Club Games envisioned Showdown as a small minigame similar to modes in Mega Man 7 (1995) and Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988). The developers gradually built a more expansive title which they compared to a party game. Showdown was released for Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Wii U on December 10, 2019. It received average reviews on release, with praise towards its characters and multiplayer gameplay, but many reviewers criticized the single-player mode for its difficulty balancing.

-[[Image:Blaise pascal.jpg|thumb|left|Blaise Pascal]]
-'''Blaise Pascal''' ([[June 19]], [[1623]] &ndash; [[August 19]],[[1662]]) was a [[France|French]] [[mathematician]], [[physicist]], and [[religion|religious]] [[philosopher]]. Pascal was a [[child prodigy]], who was educated by his father. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied [[science]]s, where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical [[calculator]]s and the study of [[fluid]]s, and clarified the concepts of [[pressure]] and [[vacuum]] by expanding the work of [[Evangelista Torricelli]]. Pascal also wrote powerfully in defense of the [[scientific method]].
-He was a mathematician of the first order. Pascal helped create two major new areas of research. He wrote a significant treatise on the subject of [[projective geometry]] at the age of sixteen and corresponded with [[Pierre de Fermat]] from 1654 on [[probability theory]], strongly influencing the development of modern [[economics]] and [[social sciences|social science]].
-Following a [[mysticism|mystical]] experience in late 1654, he left mathematics and [[physics]] and devoted himself to reflection and writing about philosophy and [[theology]]. His two most famous works date from this period: the ''[[Lettres provinciales]]'' and the ''[[Pensées]]''. However, he had suffered from ill-health throughout his life and his new interests were ended by his early death two months after his 39th birthday.
