’Ia ora na ’oe i ta’u ’api parau i te Vitipetia i te reo Paratāne! Vau i te hō’ē vitipetia ta’ata nō Tatarūnia e.

I will be mostly contributing with Catalan-related content.

Welcome to my User Page
I'm Catalan (from Catalonia) and this is my weblog: Galindaines where you can find what worries me, my travel pictures and all this stuff.

I'm not a regular contributor of the English Wikipedia. In fact I'm a regular contributor of the Catalan one, and just seldom link here relevant articles on the English one. So pls., excuse me if I do not read frequently any message, and cannot respond it.

You can jump to my Catalan user page. Please write there any urgent thing, even if I could seldom take some time to read it! :)

Gaspar de Portolà right spelling
Gaspar de Portolà

The correct writing in his own signature is Gaspar de Portolà and not Gaspar de Portolá. I understand there may be some confussion for non accented language speakers. References to prove that are: And many other I can add upon request. Therefore, both pages should be swaped.
