I live in Bogotá, Colombia and am just starting out on Wikipedia to learn more about use of wiki.

[edit] Projects / Contributions

Just finished translating List of TransMilenio stations from Spanish. It could stand to be cleaned up a good deal.

Want to tie that in with Bogotá neighborhoods' translation to English. Also doing some of the roads.

This is all being done with User:Fisherjs. See all my contributions at Special:Contributions/Hwonder.

I also like to visit random pages on the Spanish wiki to see if there's a decent page on the en wiki. If not, I take a stab at translating it.

Started the 2006–2007 Colombian para-political scandal, part of the Colombia WikiProject. Assessed a ton of articles for that project and now am working to improve them, one slow bit at a time.
