Hi! My name is CuteLittleDoggie. Excuse me for creating my own Wikipedia account, but I couldn't resist. I've seen my owner, an experienced Wikipedian (actually an admin... shh... don't tell), on here all the time. So I said to myself, whenever I play on my owner's computer (which I normally do when he is stressed out or away at work), I might as well do something here on Wikipedia.

Oh, please don't call me another one of those silly, silly sock puppets. I am not here to vandalise pages, stack votes on AFD and other places, nor pretend I don't know how to spell. If you want to, you can consider me as my owner's other account. Take a look at my contributions if you like.

Allright, that's about it now. I'll get to work on this page later. Right now, I have to take a walk with my owner and do the things other dogs do. But I'll be back and edit this page again. After all this is a wiki! Bye!

[edit] Today's featured content

The Priestley Riots took place from 14 July to 17 July 1791 in Birmingham, England; the rioters' main targets were religious Dissenters, most notably the religious and political controversialist, Joseph Priestley. The riots started with an attack on a hotel that was the site of a banquet organized in sympathy with the French Revolution. Then, beginning with Priestley's church and home, the rioters attacked or burned four Dissenting chapels, twenty-seven houses, and several businesses. Many of them became intoxicated by liquor that they found while looting, or with which they were bribed to stop burning homes. A small core could not be bribed, however, and remained sober. They burned not only the homes and chapels of Dissenters, but also the homes of people they associated with Dissenters, such as members of the scientific Lunar Society. While the riots were not initiated by Prime Minister William Pitt's administration, the national government was slow to respond to the Dissenters' pleas for help. Local Birmingham officials seem to have been involved in the planning of the riots, and they were later reluctant to prosecute any ringleaders. Those who had been attacked gradually left, leaving Birmingham a more conservative city than it had been throughout the eighteenth century. (more...)

Trains in North Korea were targets of attack by U.S. and other U.N. forces, so much so that both military and civilian trains often had to wait out the daylight hours in tunnels.
