Hi, my name is Dan Padilha, I'm 15 and a college (grade 11) student.
I can not remember when I joined Wikipedia, however it was not long before my first edit on the 6th of April, 2006. Before that, I had done some minor gnome work as an IP user (hell, I still do). I became active during February, 2007, and have not been that active since then (due to a lot of college work).
Most of my time on Wikipedia is spent on vandal fighting, spelling/grammar fixes and wiki-gnome work. I do a lot of other things as well, such as participate in AfD discussions, update and upload images, all that kind of funky jazz. I hope to one day become a Wikipedia administrator. But that's a dream that won't come true for a while. :P
My user committed identity can be located in a comment at the top of this user page.
I am was a Wikipediaholic. I am currently trying to convert Fithakk and EvilJoe into wikipediaholics (no success, though they did both show a lot of interest).
Oh, and then there's G1ggy. Next time he goes for an RfA, I'm supporting. Yes, G1ggy, I know it's an inside joke.
[edit] Miscellanious Information
I was born in Recife, Brazil in 1991. I moved to Canberra, Australia in 1999, and have lived there since.
I can speak fluent English and Portuguese.
I enjoy mathematics and most subjects related to science and computing.
I know XHTML, Javascript, PHP and some Java, Python, and Pascal, and can use MySQL databases.
I play an alto saxophone. :)
I am mostly an A-grade student (especially in maths, science, and computing =P).
That is about as much as I can compliment myself.
