Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~Hans Christian Andersen.
Hope, deceitful as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route. ~ François Duc de La Rochefoucauld.
Hello ! Welcome to my userpage. I am Sainsf, a YoungAdult Wikipedian from Odisha, India. I joined the community in 2010, but became actually active from 2012. Want to sign my Guestbook? HERE you go! I love writing articles about mammals, thanks to my love for Nature. I contributed to a variety of stuff in my early days, but finally began developing mammal articles and reviewing articles on several topics. I help with the everlasting GA backlog. As you can see, I am obsessed with userboxes and userpages. Note: This userpage is based on a design by Phaedriel .
I don't exactly specialize in any topic, but I love to volunteer. I am an experienced editor good at reviewing and copyediting, and have a good idea of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I prefer improving articles to creating them. Helpful users like Cwmhiraeth, Keilana, Mysdaao, Phaedriel and Sasata guided me in my early, naive days. I am also a host at the Teahouse and member of several WikiProjects (look right for more info). Newbies, I would feel honored to help you!
Talk less, Work more![edit]
Yeah, I have been talking too much! So, here is what I have done hanging around all these years:

Today's featured article
|
The bluebuck (Hippotragus leucophaeus), now extinct, was a South African antelope. Classified in the same genus as the roan antelope and sable antelope, it was smaller than either. The largest mounted bluebuck specimen is 119 centimetres (47 in) tall at the withers, with horns measuring 56.5 centimetres (22.2 in) along the curve. The bluebuck's coat was bluish-grey, with a pale whitish belly. It was a grazer, and may have calved where rainfall would peak. When encountered by Europeans, it was confined to a 4,300-square-kilometre (1,700 sq mi) grassland habitat of the southwestern Cape, but fossils and rock paintings give evidence of a larger distribution. The first published mention of the bluebuck is from 1681. The few 18th-century illustrations appear to have been based on stuffed specimens. Hunted by European settlers, the bluebuck was the first large African mammal that went extinct in historical times, around 1800. Only four mounted specimens remain, in museums in Leiden, Stockholm, Vienna, and Paris; other museums contain skulls and horns. (Full article...)
