I am an avid daily (and nightly) user of wikipedia, and I feel like I will never be able to repay this community for everything it gave to me during the past {{age|2005|01|01}} years or so. Anyways, after years and years of postponing, on 24 February 2018 I decided finally to register and I made my first little modification.

Since then, I have been editing some pages from time to time, mostly about mathematics (differential geometry) and mathematicians, as well as stuff I read/watched/bumped into, both in the English and the Italian wikipedia. Unfortunately, I have never committed too much time in it, but doing so is my constant new year resolution.

Since February 2021 I am more active, doing at least a couple of (non-minor) edits almost every week.

Pages I have created, translated and/or substantially improved

Here you can find the full list of my contributions (in reverse chronological order) and some [https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/index.php?user=Francesco+Cattafi&project=en.wikipedia.org contribution statistics].
