The1884 United States presidential election was held in November 1884 betweenGrover Cleveland of theDemocratic Party,James G. Blaine of theRepublican Party, and twothird-party candidates. The election was narrowly won by Cleveland, who won 219Electoral College votes to Blaine's 182, ending a run of six consecutive Republican victories. The issue of personal character featured strongly during the 1884 campaign. Blaine had been prevented from getting the Republican presidential nomination during the previous two elections because of the stigma of a set of letters that he had written, while Cleveland was perceived as having high personal integrity. This campaign advertisement for Blaine, captioned "Another voice for Cleveland", was published in the New York magazineThe Judge on September 27, 1884, and aimed to shift this balance and attack Cleveland's morals by alleging that he had fathered an illegitimate child while he was a lawyer inBuffalo, New York. Thechromolithograph illustration depicts a weeping woman holding a baby who cries out "I want my pa!" as Cleveland walks past. Cleveland's campaign responded that he had formed a connection with the woman in question and had assumed responsibility for the child, but that his paternity was unproven.Poster credit: Frank Beard; restored byAdam Cuerden
I started editing at wikipedia simply out of frustration. Late in the year 2014, I got interested in Indian football history (national teams), and wanted to know about Indian football statistics and players and to my surprise there were inadequate and scattered information on google or wikipedia and were not organised well. So, I thought why not just create & improve articles in wikipedia and provide as much as information about national team players, statistics, leagues, all national teams. Today, I am one of the main author and contributor of various Indian football articles in wikipedia viz.men's team,women's team and all other age group u23 & u17 national teams, various statistical pages related to Indian football, Indian football leagues, and Indian players. My motive here is to improve as much as existing articles (lot of which created by fellow wikipedians ArsenalFan700 and Coderzombie from the project) related to Indian football and create informative articles. The significant contributions and improved articles are listed below.
This editor is aTutnum of the Encyclopedia and is entitled to display thisBook of Knowledge with Coffee Cup Stain, Cigarette Burn, and Chewed Broken Pencil. The journey with Indian football history also made me a football statistician and became a member ofRSSSF, a foundation dedicated to football statistics, the biggest football database/archive in the world. Often provide and publish statistics there on Asian football. Interestingly,AIFF updated its website on December 2019 where they maintained a footballhistory timeline, majority seems to be taken from the wikipedia articles which I have worked in, some are exact lines and stats which I've provided. Again, prominent footballing and sports website are directly taking materials from wikipedia and RSSSF. Like thisgoal.com article of India national team hat-tricks. However, ironically was replicated from the wrong version ofthe wikipedia article and many more such articles exist online. Another example,History India team at Olympics by Olympic.com based on the articleIndia national football team at the Olympics a GA article I created here. So, surely I'm happy as directly or indirectly the purpose is served, telling history of Indian football to people and so that more people may support Indian football. My dream related to football is to see India football teams qualify for the FIFA Men's and Women's World Cup and other age group W.Cups and winning those, & me writing articles likeIndia at the FIFA World Cup andIndia at the FIFA Women's World Cup someday with pride.
Along with football, soon I took interests in athletics, cricket and other sports articles, improved many related articles. My interest is also to work with the articles underWikiProject India &WikiProject Asia, and created and improved several articles and hope will continue.
