Ethel Smyth (1858–1944) was an English composer and a member of the
women's suffrage movement. Her compositions include songs, works for piano, chamber music, orchestral works, choral works and operas. Smyth's extensive body of work includes the Concerto for Violin, Horn and Orchestra, and the
Mass in D. Her opera The Wreckers is considered by some critics to be the "most important English opera composed during the period between
Purcell and
Britten". This photograph of Smyth was taken in 1922.

George Town is the capital of the
Malaysian state of
Penang, encompassing
Penang Island and surrounding islets. With a population of 794,313 as of the 2020 census, it is the
core city of Malaysia's
second-largest metropolitan area, which has a population of 2.84 million. George Town serves as the commercial centre for northern Malaysia. Its technological sector, anchored by hundreds of
multinational companies, has made the city the
top exporter in the country. It was the first British settlement in Southeast Asia, and its proximity to maritime routes along the
Strait of Malacca attracted an influx of immigrants from various parts of Asia. In 1974, the city was
merged with the rest of the island, throwing its administrative status into doubt until 2015, when its jurisdiction was reinstated and expanded to cover the entire island and adjacent islets.
UNESCO designated the
city centre of George Town as a
World Heritage Site in 2008. (Full article...)
PersianPoetGal here, pleasure to make your acquaintance. I'm a half
Persian (
Iranian) female born and raised in great sunny
California! I enjoy many things such as
poetry (obvious of course),
reading,
writing,
history, playing
video games,
filmmaking, light
programming, and just making a person's day better :). I used to be active at the Windows Movie Maker Forums but now I have sort of semi-retired due to being crammed with my studies. I also contributed to "The Persian Page", a page devoted to implementing custom effects and transitions into Windows Movie Maker 2 using
xml which is hosted and now fully edited by "PapaJohn" Buechler. I voluntarily patrol the
"Recent Changes Page". While on patrol I keep on the lookout to make sure articles are free of
vandalism and abide by the
Wikipedia Golden Rules :P. I also help create
Wikipedia Ads for different WikiProjects, see this
page for details. Believe it or not I start new articles and edit pre-existing ones every now and then! So please feel free to mercilessly
any of my Wiki-Contributions just the same. I honestly feel there is always someone who can add a little extra ;). However, those not-so-nice enough to
vandalize my page or anyone else's for that matter, it will not do you any
good. Thanks for reading a little bit about me :D!
This section is not merely devoted to the awards I receive but to the users who take the time out of their day to reward others with such kindness. Thanks nice Wikipedians!
This spoof of a well known search engine was inspired by
Swatjester's (originally
Gurch's) spoof of a well known social networking site. It is important to remember however that Wikipedia is neither :P.
