Amartya Bag Amartya Bag (bn : অমর্ত্য বাগ) is a legal professional and a proud Wikipedian. He is a Veteran Editor II, Autopatroller, Reviewer and Rollbacker on English Wikipedia. He came across Wikipedia while searching for some material on Julius Caesar for his school project in the summer of 2005 and he landed on Wikipedia and has been mesmerised by the wonderful contribution of some volunteers. Since then he continued to edit under IPs, mostly related to his place of residence. He is an active registered Wikipedian since 30 December 2005. He resides in a small but beautiful town of Cooch Behar, in the Indian state of West Bengal. He is currently residing in New Delhi - where he works in a legal education firm. He has a degree in Integrated B.A. LL. B. with honours specialisation in Intellectual property law from KIIT Law School, Bhubaneswar. He has a interest in editing pages related to North Bengal, West Bengal, Protected areas of India, Indian law and intellectual property law and his edits are confined to these fields. However in near future he may diversify to some other fields or may be helping in fighting vandalism. Moreover he thinks that "Wikipedia is one of the biggest charity organisation because no donation can be as big as the donation of free knowledge". He is proud to be one in the charity, for the prosperity and growth of knowledge and the human society. Picture of the day HMS Malabar was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1818 at Bombay Dockyard. In 1838, Malabar ran aground off Prince Edward Island in British North America and was damaged, with the loss of two crew members. She was refloated later that year and towed into Three Rivers in Lower Canada. In August 1843, Malabar, under the command of Sir George Sartorius, assisted in fighting a fire that destroyed the United States Navy sidewheel frigate USS Missouri at Gibraltar, taking aboard about 200 of that ship's survivors. Malabar was converted to a hulk in 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and was renamed Myrtle in 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in 1905. This lithograph from around 1843 shows the crew of Malabar watching as Missouri explodes and burns in the distance.Lithograph credit: Thomas Goldsworthy Dutton, after Edward Duncan and George Pechell Mends; restored by Adam Cuerden “ Wikipedia:Motto of the day/June 4, 2024 ” — Motto of the day
