[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 around 2004 or so... 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.
- Computers and the likes.
- 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 sure gets me lots of messages from bots saying that I've uploaded images that don't comply with the fair use criteria. :-D
[edit] My Articles
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.
- List of Puerto Rican Academy Award winners and nominees
- 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)

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

[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!
