Greetings, all, and welcome to my page!

Who I am[edit]

I am a resident of Niterói - I'm not quite a native, but near enough as to make no difference. In fact, I was born in Ipanema, where I went to school. For a living, I'm a proofreader, journalist, translator and lecturer, and I help people with technology stuff.

I joined Wikipedia way back in 2004, when it was still a large part of the wilds of the internet. This is my original first account.

I don't really have a preferred topic to edit, I sail with the wind.

My Wiki-Idols[edit]

My Wikipedia idols are:

1. Ser Amantio di Nicolao, one of the top 5 greatest Wikipedians of all times and an administrator since June of 2015.

2. Urhixidur, astronomer, Wikipedia enthusiast and expert, and the gentleman who kindly invited me to the Wikipedia:Fifteen Year Society.

Wikipedia stats[edit]

Take a look at Wikipedia:Size in volumes - it's a remarkable work for Mankind, indeed.
