I believe in a universal language for communication, English. Therefore, I only truly collaborate on the English Wikipedia. Once in a while I look at the Portuguese Wikipedia but I prefer to stay on this side.

As of my last edit, I am still very much a newbie on Wikipedia's rules and syntax and I think I will never have the time nor the patience to learn them better.

These are the articles I've dabbed in (in bold, major original contributions), grouped by my own criteria and showing logical sequenciation, and sometimes with the reasons why they picked my interest (not why I'm qualified to write on them):
