Me, circa 2003
Me, circa 2003

I, Evans Knight, (born January 13, 1987 in Shreveport, Louisiana) am a high school student. I am adopted, and am biologically of Dutch, Swedish, Swiss, English, German, Scottish, Irish, French, Creole, Choctaw, Cherokee and African descent. Since 1999, I have lived in Los Angeles, California with my family, where I attended The Buckley School. I am now a freshman at the University of Southern California.

I am an avid reader, but my true passion lies with genealogy. Being an adopted child, my fascination with the ancestry of both my adopted and biological families is a natural one, and it has been a constant factor in my adolescence. I also religiously do the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle, and I have played Jeopardy! with my grandfather since I could speak. When I was younger, I was eligible to join Mensa, but my parents deemed it an inappropriate waste of time. I got a 426 on the Are You a Wikipediholic Test. I am also substantially more well endowed than my fellow Wikpiedian, ParkerHiggins.

Some of my proudest discoveries in the research of my heritage are that I am descended of Nancy Ward, Colonel Thomas Horton and Randle T. Moore, as well as the Houses of Zähringen, Capet, Burgundy, Savoy, Stuart and Plantagenet (the latter through Thomas of Woodstock, the youngest son of King Edward III). I also consider myself to be a member of the Melungeon people. An interesting tidbit is that I have calculated the present Queen of England, Her Majesty Elizabeth II is my 18th cousin twice removed. I am also indirectly related to the the late Diana Spencer (through the de Brienne family), Alexander Hamilton, Daniel Boone and, through the Biddle family of Philadelphia, Nick Biddle, the frontman of Los Angeles based band, The Naturals. My Great-great-great-grandfather John William Jones was the 13th Mayor of Shreveport.

Presentyl, I am attending the University of Southern California as a freshman. I was accepted into the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences, as a member of the inaugural College Honors Program, and will most likely be pursuing a major in Linguistics and Anthropology, or perhaps a synthesis of the two. My area of interest revolves around the culture of Muslim Spain, and the lasting effects that the Arabic occupation had upon the developement of the Spanish language and culture. I am also interested in studying the evolution of Spanish music, specifically that directly affected by Islamic and Gitano influences. I am in the process of contracting a teacher to instruct me in the art of the 'ud, and will continue singing at USC.

Another field of study that I would like to tackle is the Ottoman Empire. Not the whole empire, specifically, but the idea of one great political power ruling over such a culturally and linguistically varied people. I am especially interested in the migration of the Sephardic Jews from Spain to Turkey, and the subsequent use and evolution of the Djudeo-Espanyol language in the Ottoman Empire. Perhaps I shall go at the Ottoman question from an ethnomusicological standpoint, though this will be rather difficult at USC, and may require subsequent graduate study at UCLA.

AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD

The motto of the AWWDMBJAWGCAWAIFDSPBATDMTD is Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet, which translates to "it is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia." This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.


[edit] This is just for me
