Pelléas et Mélisande is an opera in five acts with music by the French composer Claude Debussy. The French-language libretto was adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist play Pelléas and Mélisande. The plot concerns a love triangle between Prince Golaud, Mélisande (a mysterious young woman he had found lost in a forest), and Golaud's younger half-brother Pelléas. The only opera Debussy ever completed, Pelléas et Mélisande premiered on 30 April 1902 at the Salle Favart in Paris, performed by the Opéra-Comique, with Jean Périer as Pelléas and Mary Garden as Mélisande. The premiere was conducted by André Messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work. This poster by the French painter Georges Rochegrosse was produced for the premiere.Poster credit: Georges Rochegrosse; restored by Adam 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.
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.
