The red-lored whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis) is one of nine species of whistler occurring in Australia and a member of the family Pachycephalidae. It resides in the low mallee, spinifex, cypress pine and broombush woodland in the desert of central New South Wales, north-western Victoria and adjacent south-eastern South Australia, preferring low mallee woodlands or shrublands with open canopy, above a moderately dense but patchy scrub layer. The male bird has an orange or buff face and throat, a grey breastband extending around the neck and over the head, and rufous underparts with pale yellow or olive edging to primaries. The female is similar but with a paler throat and underparts. While it is often seen perched in trees and shrubs, the red-lored whistler feeds, for the most part, on the ground. Little is known about the movement of this species, although it is thought to be sedentary, with some movement possibly after breeding. It builds a substantial, cup-shaped nest made mostly of coarse bark and mallee leaves, neatly woven around the rim in low shrubs and lays two or three eggs. The species's limited range has seen it listed nationally as a vulnerable species. This red-lored whistler was photographed in the Nombinnie Nature Reserve in New South Wales.Photograph credit: John Harrison
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.
The journey with Indian football history also made me a football statistician and became a member of RSSSF, 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 football history 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 this goal.com article of India national team hat-tricks. However, ironically was replicated from the wrong version of the wikipedia article and many more such articles exist online. Another example, History India team at Olympics by Olympic.com based on the article India 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 like India at the FIFA World Cup and India 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 under WikiProject India & WikiProject Asia, and created and improved several articles and hope will continue.
