 * No problems. What types of topics are you interested in ? John Vandenberg 07:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm interested especially in a variety of literature (from anywhere, although with a focus on works in Spanish and English, since I read them directly), but also in language in general, politics (often international, but also Argentine), and, as a result, philosophical considerations related to semantics and linguistics, society, culture, creativity, and being. I'm also a fan of id Software's computer game, Doom, which has gradually encouraged me to get in touch with the Internet and many issues and subjects revolving around it (e.g., design principles, information sharing, copyright, and software). I'm also something of a cinephile. - Who is like God? 08:53, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

In order to help people find you, you may like to put the following on your "user page" (i.e. User:Who is like God?):
 * User Argentina
 * User es-N or User es-3
 * User en or User en-3

You might like to try your hand at some translation task on Translation into English/Spanish, or some tasks on WikiProject Argentina/To do or just keep an eye on Portal:Argentina. If you know of any good academic journals from your region of the world, I would love to hear about them over at WikiProject Academic Journals.

It would be great if you could do some research into the words Cinephile and Cinemaphile (see the talk page for this one). That topic is "unsourced" which caused an administrator to delete it. I have rescued the article, but it needs some sources and some improvement otherwise another administrator will delete it again. Let me know if I can answer any queries you may have.

 * At first glance they seem more fitting in the Wiktionary, that already includes cinephile; I see them more as two variants of a word defining movie aficionados in a general sense, rather than some distinct category that can be clearly defined. In a way, the existing Wikipedia article is describing a variety of geek.


 * I had already added the Babel tags, after seeing them on your user page. And translation is one of my "habits", so I'll probably get into that to some degree. As for academic journals, I think I could dig some up, particularly journals on literary studies, philology, and philosophy. - Who is like God? 12:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
Aloha!

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.

I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.

I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.

I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!

Thank you,

Victor Grigas
