[edit] Me, Myself & Wikipedia

Most of the basic facts about me, you can read them above. Yes, I'm from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and I'm proud of it.

I believe I reached Wikipedia through a Yahoo!/Google search about a year or so ago... and, being the "hungry self-learner" that I am, I started browsing and reading articles. Well, after months of continuous browsing, reading and editing articles at Wikipedia, I finally found the time to log in, and create my own account.

I'm married with the most wonderful woman in the world and I doubt I could ever find anyone better (and I'm not willing to find out either).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[edit] My Interests

I have lots of interests in my life, and I enjoy reading (and writing!) about a lot of things. Some of my interests that I've shared in Wikipedia by writing or editing articles are:

• Christian music, specially Christian rock.
• Rock music in general.
• Sports, specially Puerto Rican-related sports.
• Any article or subject related to Puerto Rico.
• Films, actors/actresses, etc.
• Puerto Rican music.
• Puerto Rican celebrities.
• TV shows and programs.
• Games, toys, etc.

...and the list goes on and on.

I have a thing for uploading pictures to Wikipedia. The thing is, I believe most of us are visual species, hence I think that most articles are enriched by a picture illustrating the subject of it. Well, that gets me into some "trouble" with Wikipedia administrators cause you're only supposed to upload pictures under certain circumstances and criteria :-D

[edit] My Articles

This Boricua Tireless Contributor Barnstar is presented to User:Thief12 for his continous work on Music related articles. Presented by Tony the Marine 17:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

You can browse my "contributions" for a vast list of articles I've worked with, but here are a few ones I feel quite proud of.

The one I feel more proud of is the article of my favorite music band, Petra (band). I basically worked this one from scratch until the way it is now. I created almost the whole discography and almost all the articles on all the band members.

Others are...

• Balance of Power (band) (including the whole discography)
• Danger Danger (including some of the albums)
• White Heart (including some of the albums, and most of the band members articles)
• Slaughter (band) (including the band members articles)
• Jars of Clay (including the discography)
• Third Day (including the discography)
• Fiel a la Vega (including the discography)
• Adventures in the Magic Kingdom (I loved this game when I was a kid)
• Marcos Jiménez de la Espada (I knew nothing about this guy, but there was a request for translation from the Spanish article, and I worked it out)
• Objetivo Fama (sort of a Puerto Rican American Idol)

[edit] Ponce and Puerto Rico

I always try to work with articles related to my hometown, Ponce, or to my country, Puerto Rico. Here are a few related articles I've created and/or expanded.

• 1918 Puerto Rico Earthquake
• Ponce Museum of Art (one of the top museums of Puerto Rico)
• Ednita Nazario (including the whole discography)
• Francisco Zayas Seijo (Mayor of Ponce)
• Ponce Cathedral
• Parque de Bombas
• Serralles Castle (beautiful mansion with a spectacular view of the city)
• La Perla Theater
• Hacienda Buena Vista
• Río Piedras State Penitentiary
• Angel Nieves Diaz (recently executed Puerto Rican)
• Humberto Vidal Explosion
• San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
• Dupont Plaza Hotel fire
• Isla de Cabras
• El Cañuelo
• Ponce Lions (basketball) (local basketball team)
• Cruceta El Vigía

...and lots of others. Like I've said, you can browse my contributions.

[edit] My Pictures in Wikipedia

I have posted several pictures of mine here in Wikipedia. They are:

José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum	Entrance to Earthquake (Universal)	Newberry Opera House	Riverbanks Zoo
Entrance to Shrek 4-D (Universal)	Crown Colony House (Busch Gardens)	Entrance to Buzz Lightyear's ride (Magic Kingdom)	Fort El Cañuelo
Isla de Cabras Recreational Park	La Plata River

[edit] My Closing

I also have some articles in Spanish, but I barely work with those (even though it is my native language). Visit my Spanish page to read more. I really should work more there to help with translations and stuff, hehehe.

I'm in no way taking whole credit for all the articles listed here. Wikipedia is a constant contribution of various people and sources, so I might work an article today and someone else might edit it completely. I think that's the beauty of it, but you can see what my interests are with this rough list.

Peace, y saludos a todos!
