A Little Bit About Me

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

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).

Picture of the day The Giechburg is a partly reconstructed hilltop castle located in the town of Scheßlitz in Bavaria, Germany. There was a hilltop fort at the site from at least Neolithic times, and the castle enters written history in 1125. In 1390, it entered the possession of the prince-bishops of Bamberg, and its history thereafter is closely allied to the bishopric and the city of Bamberg. The castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the subsequent centuries before undergoing extensive redevelopment between 1599 and 1609. It became less useful to the prince-bishops over the subsequent centuries however, and eventually fell into ruin. After a period in the 19th and 20th centuries in the hands of the von Giech family, the castle was eventually acquired by the district of Bamberg in 1971 and reconstructed as a conference and hospitality centre. This 2021 aerial photograph shows the Giechburg viewed from the north, with the village of Peulendorf in the background.Photograph credit: Reinhold Möller
