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.

Swift with her Best Female Video trophy for the song

"You Belong with Me" is the third single from Taylor Swift's second studio album Fearless (2008). Big Machine Records released the song to radio on April 20, 2009. Swift and Liz Rose wrote the lyrics, which discuss unrequited love. Swift and Nathan Chapman produced the track, which has a banjo-led country pop production. The song was nominated in three categories at the 2010 Grammy Awards, reached the top 10 on several charts and received certifications in Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. The song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100; the RIAA certified it seven-times platinum. Roman White directed the song's music video, which stars Swift in two roles, and won Best Female Video (pictured) at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where Swift's acceptance was interrupted by Kanye West. Following a dispute about the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "You Belong with Me (Taylor's Version)" for her 2021 album Fearless (Taylor's Version). (Full article...)
