I live in Bogot%C3%A1, Colombia and am just starting out on Wikipedia to learn more about use of wiki.
Projects / Contributions
Just finished translating List of TransMilenio stations from Spanish. It could stand to be cleaned up a good deal.
Want to tie that in with Bogotá neighborhoods' translation to English. Also doing some of the roads.
This is all being done with User:Fisherjs.
See all my contributions at Special:Contributions/Hwonder.
I also like to visit random pages on the Spanish wiki to see if there's a decent page on the en wiki. If not, I take a stab at translating it.
Started the 2006–2007 Colombian para-political scandal, part of the Colombia WikiProject. Assessed a ton of articles for that project and now am working to improve them, one slow bit at a time.
Things I know
- I know about the INA, especially about visas. That's how I spend my time.
- I do a lot of web programming in PHP using mySql. I'm starting to use PHP-GTK and Ruby on Rails, as well.
- I'm an avid Mac user, and have been since 1986. I have worked for an Apple consultancy.
- I'm a former bus driver. I enjoy urban planning as a hobby.
- I enjoy geography, mostly US States and highways, but also just knowing my way around towns and public transportation.
- Latin American politics, especially related to economic, political development, and drug politics.
Things I do not know
- How to spell.
- A multitude of other things, but I will correct that by reading everything on Wikipedia.
- My own limits, apparently. (see above)
Actual contributing I should do
