Basic Info edit

I'm just a normal guy who spends too much time doing many things which usually never get finished...

Wikipedia edit

To do edit

Stuff I'd like to do one of these days:

  • Review and polish all the pages for a number of game series, and ensure that the spanish Wikipedia has everything in order related to the english Wikipedia. Some of these games are: Monkey Island (series), Lemmings and Dance Dance Revolution.
  • Expand several articles related to some areas where I've lived: Greater Bilbao with Bilbao included, and smaller towns like Portugalete, Barakaldo, Sestao, Santurce, and then Zamora and a couple of smaller tiny towns.
  • Check what I can contribute with, in my direct interest and experience areas, from books I've read to my favorite musicians, from programming to the art of Van Gogh.
  • Translate several articles from and to the spanish Wikipedia, specially the ones where I know something about and interest me... But I'm open for requests, beep me in my talk if you want something translated or checked.
  • Write a draft for another way at looking at the userbox problem with my ideas and proposed solutions (and some of these ideas are outlined in my userbox page).
  • Write an essay for newbies which comprehensively explains what Wikipedia is, providing further reading for a deeper learning. Its aim and reason is to make new editors to reach an understanding of the project in a fast but solid way, without needing to wander around two dozen articles (which sometimes are difficult to locate). Think about it as some kind of quick shock-treatment so new editors don't make the wrong assumptions about what Wikipedia is.

In Progress edit

I'm converting the current article about Gil Elvgren into a decent biography, hopefully getting directly a B rank. This should help me started on Wikipedia, and hopefully will lead to other expansions.

Contributions edit

A few fixes here and there while I learnt how to properly edit Wiki articles. I've made a few edits before becoming a registered user. I continue to make minor edits of little things that others haven't seen yet, and I've also reverted some vandalism. I participate actively in discussions about changes and merging for the articles which interest me, in hopes that they will improve quality.

For the rest, this is a list of what I consider worthy contributions:

You can also take a look at all the userboxes I've created.

Sandboxes & stuff edit

You can see my sandboxes and what I'm doing and experimenting with. Don't touch these, thanks ^_^

Sandbox One - Sandbox Two - All my user subpages

Rest of blurb edit

Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

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.
