Welcome to my userpage. This might be my last chance at succedding. Although I haven't been at Wikipedia for a long time I have already noticed how different it is then most people imagine. Most people don't use Wikipedia because they think anybody can edit it. That is true but that's why there is a whole bunch of admins and bots and other stuff to revert vandalism. Don't get mad about what I think on a certain subject and there won't be any pain. :) As you can probably already tell I like to have fun and some of my edits might show it too. So try not to take everything I type to seriously. My userpage is mostly like the main page so that I don't have to check out the main page which might be vandalised.

The Reference desk is for questions about life, the universe, and everything (other than about Wikipedia). It's a virtual version of the reference desk at a library. Wikipedians are very knowledgeable, and if they don't know the answer, they can probably find it pretty quickly.
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.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
