Hello....

My name is RICK CORDEIRO, I am a native Hamiltonian (Born: August 14, 1968) and honours graduate of the Graphic-Arts Production Co-ordinator program in Mohawk College, Brantford campus.

I decided to make contributions to Hamilton, Ontario wikipedia articles because I wasn't satisfied with the amount of information we had here prior to joining wikipedia. That's when I decided to roll up my sleeves and do something about it. In the summer of 2007 I went around town with my camera and took snapshots of our city and uploaded them to all the Hamilton, Ontario-related articles here on wikipedia. Close to 400 photos have now been uploaded here and in the process of uploading them all to WIKICOMMONS.

As well, on June 28, 2007, Hamilton, Ontario was promoted to the "FEATURED ARTICLE" candidate status here on wikipedia, making it only the FORTY FIFTH city from around the world, (and 3rd Canadian city, Vancouver and Dawson Creek, British Columbia being the first 2), to reach this milestone status. This places Hamilton, Ontario in the same company with cities like Boston, Hong Kong, Jerusalem and San Fransisco. Absolutely amazing! and because of all my work here on wikipedia I was featured in the local Hamilton Spectator newspaper, "Street Beat" article written by Paul Wilson on April 16, 2007.

On Friday, February 29, 2008, Hamilton, Ontario became the "FEATURED ARTICLE" here on wikipedia...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!...and I was featured once again for the second time in Paul Wilson's "Street Beat" article that day as well in the Hamilton Spectator. Article can be found here. Great exposure for the city as wikipedia gets well over 300-million page hits daily.

The next phase of my work here will focus on the Streets of Hamilton which are on the mountain. Many of these still need to be created. A lot of my preliminary work will be off line as I will do a lot of research and gathering of information down at the Hamilton Public Library as well as sometime in the early spring will travel around town with my digital camera and snap up photos to upload to those articles after the snow has melted.
