No problems. What types of topics are you interested in ? John Vandenberg 07:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm interested especially in a variety of literature (from anywhere, although with a focus on works in Spanish and English, since I read them directly), but also in language in general, politics (often international, but also Argentine), and, as a result, philosophical considerations related to semantics and linguistics, society, culture, creativity, and being. I'm also a fan of id Software's computer game, Doom, which has gradually encouraged me to get in touch with the Internet and many issues and subjects revolving around it (e.g., design principles, information sharing, copyright, and software). I'm also something of a cinephile. - Who is like God? 08:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


In order to help people find you, you may like to put the following on your "user page" (i.e. User:Who is like God?):

You might like to try your hand at some translation task on Wikipedia:Translation into English/Spanish, or some tasks on Wikipedia:WikiProject Argentina/To do or just keep an eye on Portal:Argentina. If you know of any good academic journals from your region of the world, I would love to hear about them over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals.

It would be great if you could do some research into the words Cinephile and Cinemaphile (see the talk page for this one). That topic is "unsourced" which caused an administrator to delete it. I have rescued the article, but it needs some sources and some improvement otherwise another administrator will delete it again. Let me know if I can answer any queries you may have.

At first glance they seem more fitting in the Wiktionary, that already includes cinephile; I see them more as two variants of a word defining movie aficionados in a general sense, rather than some distinct category that can be clearly defined. In a way, the existing Wikipedia article is describing a variety of geek.
I had already added the Babel tags, after seeing them on your user page. And translation is one of my "habits", so I'll probably get into that to some degree. As for academic journals, I think I could dig some up, particularly journals on literary studies, philology, and philosophy. - Who is like God? 12:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
