A Little Bit About Me
[edit]Baked is a minor contributor to the English Wikipedia. I have just started contributing to Wikipedia, I do not do it religiously, but when I see a problem or when I see a need for an article to be expanded. I have trivial knowledge on certain topics pertaining to different areas of life.
I enjoy reading comics, especially Peanuts and Dilbert.
I am also a big sports fan. I support the Los Angeles Lakers as well as the Los Angeles Dodgers. My other favorite teams are the Oakland Athletics, the San Jose Sharks and the newly revitalized San Jose Earthquakes.
Current Events
[edit]I strongly support people's knowledge of current events. That is why I have supplied the largest headlines (which can also be found on Wikipedia's Main Page), and the picture of the day (which can as well be found on the Main Page).

Sherman's March to the Sea was a military campaign of the American Civil War conducted through Georgia by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union army. The campaign began on November 15, 1864, with Sherman's troops leaving Atlanta, recently taken by Union forces, and ended with the capture of the port of Savannah on December 21. His forces followed a "scorched earth" policy, destroying military targets as well as industry, infrastructure, and civilian property, disrupting the Confederacy's economy and transportation networks. The operation debilitated the Confederacy and helped lead to its eventual surrender.
