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.

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.

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.
