User:Pi72

Basic Info
I'm just a normal guy who spends too much time doing many things which usually never get finished...
 * Handle: Pi
 * Location: Spain
 * Birthdate: 1972
 * Hobbies: I do have a wide range of interests, but my main ones are music, reading (specially science-fiction), and movies.

To do
Stuff I'd like to do one of these days:
 * Review and polish all the pages for a number of game series, and ensure that the spanish Wikipedia has everything in order related to the english Wikipedia. Some of these games are: Monkey Island (series), Lemmings and Dance Dance Revolution.
 * Expand several articles related to some areas where I've lived: Greater Bilbao with Bilbao included, and smaller towns like Portugalete, Barakaldo, Sestao, Santurce, and then Zamora and a couple of smaller tiny towns.
 * Check what I can contribute with, in my direct interest and experience areas, from books I've read to my favorite musicians, from programming to the art of Van Gogh.
 * Translate several articles from and to the spanish Wikipedia, specially the ones where I know something about and interest me... But I'm open for requests, beep me in my talk if you want something translated or checked.
 * Write a draft for another way at looking at the userbox problem with my ideas and proposed solutions (and some of these ideas are outlined in my userbox page).
 * Write an essay for newbies which comprehensively explains what Wikipedia is, providing further reading for a deeper learning. Its aim and reason is to make new editors to reach an understanding of the project in a fast but solid way, without needing to wander around two dozen articles (which sometimes are difficult to locate). Think about it as some kind of quick shock-treatment so new editors don't make the wrong assumptions about what Wikipedia is.

In Progress
I'm converting the current article about Gil Elvgren into a decent biography, hopefully getting directly a B rank. This should help me started on Wikipedia, and hopefully will lead to other expansions.

Contributions
A few fixes here and there while I learnt how to properly edit Wiki articles. I've made a few edits before becoming a registered user. I continue to make minor edits of little things that others haven't seen yet, and I've also reverted some vandalism. I participate actively in discussions about changes and merging for the articles which interest me, in hopes that they will improve quality.

For the rest, this is a list of what I consider worthy contributions:


 * Corrected the myth of Moonlight Shadow being about Lennon's murder.
 * Cleaned up some template usage for the Monkey Island (series) and some minor edits in all the pages.

You can also take a look at all the userboxes I've created.

Sandboxes & stuff
You can see my sandboxes and what I'm doing and experimenting with. Don't touch these, thanks ^_^
