My handle (Roadmaster) came from the old Test Drive video game. I want to live here.
Wikipedia is NOT a democracy.
I'm from Mexico, although I currently live in Montreal, Canada. I'm able to help with any Mexico-related articles, of which I've contributed a few myself (see below). I'm also available to help with translation between spanish and english.
Nice articles. The ones with asterisk I started, the other ones I've added stuff to:
- French Press *
- Van Jacobson *
- Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression *
- TAESA *
- World Trade Center México * (this one I'm particularly proud of; my only shame is I never found the time to take the picture myself).
- Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros *
- Torre Latinoamericana * (I can't believe I actually started this one! WHEE!)
- Pesero *
- Flans *
- Torre Mayor *
- Metro General Anaya
- Estadio Azteca
Also I have taken and uploaded some pictures, under the GFDL for use on Wikipedia and related projects.
Of course my pictures will probably never be featured like this one:
George Norman Barnard (December 23, 1819 – February 4, 1902) was an American photographer who was one of the first to use daguerreotype, the first commercially available form of photography, in the United States. A fire in 1853 destroyed the grain elevators in Oswego, New York, an event Barnard photographed. Historians consider these some of the first "news" photographs. Barnard also photographed Abraham Lincoln's 1861 inauguration. Barnard is best known for American Civil War era photos. He was the official army photographer for the Military Division of the Mississippi commanded by Union general William T. Sherman; his 1866 book, Photographic Views of Sherman's Campaign, showed the devastation of the war. This photograph, by Mathew Brady, shows Barnard c. 1865.Photograph credit: Mathew Brady; restored by Adam Cuerden
