''¡Hola a todos! Hola a tothom! Hallo alle sammen!'' Bienvenidos/Benvinguts/Velkommen.

Hey there! My name is Gustavo Góngora (, Basque surname meaning either "chieftain" or "small basin"). I'm a British-Spanish-Uruguayan Wikipedian based in Manchester, England. I obtained my Ph.D. in Translation and Intercultural Studies from the University of Manchester. I am not particularly active here, but feel free to contact me either on es.wiki or ca.wiki.

I used to be a member of Wikimedia España (Board member in 2011), Wikimedia UK, and Wikimedia Community Ireland. In the past, I was also a member of Amical Wikimedia, Wikimedia Uruguay, and Wikimedia Norge. As a linguist, I have an interest in improving articles related to minority languages and cultural heritage. I usually translate articles from the English Wikipedia into Catalan, Spanish, Asturian and Norwegian Bokmål. These days I write mostly about notable women, Wales, Ireland, Celtic mythology, Norway, Uruguay, the Iberian Peninsula, and the UK.

I was a jury member for the first edition of Wiki Loves Monuments. In June 2018 I attended the Academia and Wikipedia Conference in Maynooth, Ireland, and in July 2018 I was invited to take part in the second edition of the Celtic Knot Conference, jointly organised by the National Library of Wales and Wikimedia UK. From 2017 to 2019 I served as a member of the Ombudsman Commission.
