Me, Myself & Wikipedia
Most of the basic facts about me, you can read them above. I'm from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and very proud of it.

I believe I reached Wikipedia through a Yahoo!/Google search around 2004 or so... and, being the "hungry self-learner" that I am, I started browsing and reading articles. After months of continuous browsing, reading and editing articles at Wikipedia, I finally found the time to log in, and create my own account.

I'm married with the most wonderful woman in the world and I doubt I could ever find anyone better (and I'm not willing to find out either).

I'm not nearly as active on Wikipedia as I was years ago, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

My Interests
I have lots of interests in my life, and I enjoy reading (and writing!) about a lot of things. Some of my interests that I've shared in Wikipedia by writing or editing articles are:


 * Christian music, specially Christian rock.
 * Rock music in general.
 * Sports, specially Puerto Rican-related sports.
 * Any article or subject related to Puerto Rico.
 * Films, actors/actresses, etc.
 * Puerto Rican music.
 * Puerto Rican celebrities.
 * TV shows and programs.
 * Puerto Rican politics
 * Computers and the likes.
 * Games, toys, etc.

...and the list goes on and on.

My Articles


You can browse my "contributions" for a vast list of articles I've worked with, but here are a few ones I feel quite proud of.

One that I feel quite proud of is the article of one of my favorite music bands, Petra (band). I basically worked this one from scratch. I created almost the whole discography and almost all the articles on all the band members. I haven't worked in it in awhile, though.

I've also worked with a lot of articles of Puerto Rican politicians, creating countless of articles on current and former Senators, Representatives, mayors, etc.

Other articles I started, or worked extensively with, were...
 * Balance of Power (band) (including the whole discography)
 * Danger Danger (including some of the albums)
 * White Heart (including some of the albums, and most of the band members articles)
 * Slaughter (band) (including the band members articles)
 * Jars of Clay (including the discography)
 * Third Day (including the discography)
 * Fiel a la Vega (including the discography)
 * Adventures in the Magic Kingdom (I loved this game when I was a kid)
 * Marcos Jiménez de la Espada (I knew nothing about this guy, but there was a request for translation from the Spanish article, and I worked it out)
 * Objetivo Fama (sort of a Puerto Rican American Idol)

I compiled this list a long time ago. I need to update it with what I've been working recently.

Ponce and Puerto Rico
I always try to work with articles related to my hometown, Ponce, or to my country, Puerto Rico. Here are a few related articles I've created and/or expanded.


 * List of Puerto Rican Academy Award winners and nominees
 * 1918 Puerto Rico Earthquake
 * Ponce Museum of Art (one of the top museums of Puerto Rico)
 * Ednita Nazario (including the whole discography)
 * Francisco Zayas Seijo (Former Mayor of Ponce)
 * Ponce Cathedral
 * Parque de Bombas
 * Serralles Castle (beautiful mansion with a spectacular view of the city)
 * La Perla Theater
 * Hacienda Buena Vista
 * Río Piedras State Penitentiary
 * Angel Nieves Diaz (recently executed Puerto Rican)
 * Humberto Vidal Explosion
 * San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
 * Dupont Plaza Hotel fire
 * Isla de Cabras
 * El Cañuelo
 * Ponce Lions (basketball) (local basketball team)
 * Cruceta El Vigía

...and lots of others. Like I've said, you can browse my contributions.

I have posted several pictures of mine here in Wikipedia.

I stopped compiling this a long time ago, but I'm currently sitting at over 20,000 edits.

My Closing
I also have some articles in Spanish, but I barely work with those (even though it is my native language). Visit my Spanish page to read more. I really should work more there to help with translations and stuff, hehehe.

I'm in no way taking whole credit for all the articles listed here. Wikipedia is a constant contribution of various people and sources, so I might work an article today and someone else might edit it completely. I think that's the beauty of it, but you can see what my interests are with this rough list. Like I said above, I'm not nearly as active here as I was years ago, but I still like to chime in every now and then.

Peace, y saludos a todos!
