OvervieweditGreetings and welcome to my homepage! First of all, let me introduce myself. I have lived for about four years in Malaysia and currently living in Doha, Qatar. I have been roaming around Wikipedia looking for an article that requires editing since September 2009. In my free time, I will go to Wikipedia to read any random article and modify it where necessary. Most of the time I will be at Simple English Wikipedia to expand stub or sub-stub articles and adding redirects. My interest in Wikipedia began on August 2008 where I gradually depended on it to make some of my projects and researches. However it was not until a couple of months ago where I started to feel the need of helping Wikipedia in expanding its articles. Thanks, WikiProjectseditI am currently active on Wikipedia:WikiProject Qatar mainly adding references and expanding stub articles. Feel free to join the WikiProjects to help it. Use this to do a quick recent changes patrol in this WikiProject. To do ListeditThis is my to do list, as I have problems in remembering on which articles I am working (or going to work) on.
Happy Chandler (July 14, 1898 – June 15, 1991) was the 44th governor of Kentucky (1935–1939), a member of the U.S. Senate, the commissioner of baseball, and the 49th governor of Kentucky (1955–1959). In his first term as governor, he oversaw the repeal of the sales tax, replacing the lost revenue with new excise taxes and the state's first income tax, and helped improve the state's education and transportation systems. He resigned as governor so his successor could appoint him to the Senate. A fiscal conservative and disciple of Virginia's Harry F. Byrd, Chandler opposed parts of Roosevelt's New Deal and openly disagreed with the president's decision to prioritize European operations in World War II over the Pacific War. In 1945, he resigned his Senate seat to become the commissioner of baseball, succeeding Kenesaw Mountain Landis. He approved Jackie Robinson's contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers, initiating the racial integration of Major League Baseball.Photograph credit: Harris & Ewing; restored by Kentuckian
