Hi.

I have been lurking around Wikipedia since I was a kid, and I find it to be one of the most interesting human endeavours in the last couple of millennia.To be able to be part of it, even with brief contributions, is a moral duty with the future and a honor with the present.

Although reclusive, I decided to make a user page in order to enhance my appeal if[or when] confronted by older Wikipedians in the endless hunt for vandals.

I contribute to different topics, sometimes radically, sometimes only through minor edits. My main goal is to create a two-way flux of information between the English and Portuguese Wikipedia. The gap between both is enormous and while some users won't help reducing it, I'm very glad for their work for it enables mine as a translator. It's an herculean task, but one must imagine us all happy.

I firmly stand by the "non-vinculating" yet compass-like[1][2]Five Pillars and I am avaliable if needed.
