User:Mafmafmaf

User:Mafmafmaf, signing as maf, born 1967, from Lisbon, Portugal. Native Portuguese but speaking and writing English every day. Active contributor from May 2006 to early 2008. Since then, virtually non-active.

I believe in a universal language for communication, English. Therefore, I only truly collaborated on the English Wikipedia. Once in a while I looked at the Portuguese Wikipedia but I preferred to stay on this side.

As of my last edit, I was still very much a newbie on Wikipedia's rules and syntax and I think I will never have the time nor the patience to return to better learn them.

These are the articles I've dabbed in (major original contributions are in bold), grouped by my own criteria and showing logical sequenciation, and sometimes with the reasons why they picked my interest (but not why I'm qualified to write on them):
