User: Rosalina2427

Hi there! My username here is Rosalina2427. I went on Wikipedia for the first time around 2008, but I didn't become a registered user until 2010. In the beginning of my Wikipedia life, I went around hurricane talk pages, constantly forgetting the fact that Wikipedia is not a forum. I was also young, inexperienced, and absolutely naive about Wikipedia itself as an exceptionally annoying WikiKitten. After being warned a few times by more experienced (and extremely exasperated) users, I found my footing and became, well, more experienced and mature on Wikipedia.

Nowadays, I go around undoing vandalism, copyediting, updating tropical cyclone information, and checking out the Teahouse at times when I can squeeze it in to help and guide new users who are just like me back in the day.

Picture of the day

Michael William Balfe (1808–1870) was an Irish composer, best remembered for his operas. Balfe was born in Dublin and grew up on Pitt Street, which was renamed Balfe Street in 1917 in his honour. After moving to Wexford with his family as a child, he began a career as a violinist, moving to London in 1823 after his father's death, later relocating again to Italy and Switzerland, where he married the Hungarian-born singer Lina Roser. Balfe began pursuing an operatic singing career as well as composition, and moved back to London with his family in 1835. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he composed at least 29 operas, almost 250 songs, several cantatas, and other works. He was also a noted conductor, directing Italian opera at Her Majesty's Italian Opera House for seven years, among other conducting posts. His most notable opera is The Bohemian Girl, which continues to be performed. This photograph of Balfe was taken by the studio of the French photographer Nadar; this albumen print was made in 1900.Photograph credit: Nadar; restored by Adam Cuerden
