I am a Mexican student who just obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. For at least a couple years before signing up I had been mostly fixing spelling mistakes in Wikipedia. At some point I realised I was spending a significant amount of time in the site so I decided to create myself an account in April 2005.

I mainly edit topics related to Chemistry and Mexico, but I tend to hang around History and fencing articles too. However, I generally contribute towards anything that manages to grab my attention. I also do wiki housekeeping chores from time to time, of which cleanup receives most of my time.

I only peer review articles in areas and topics I know I will be able to give significant input beyond layout suggestions or superfluous comments. This requires me to be comfortably familiar with the subject and therefore limits the number of articles I am able to review. I try to make up for this by giving thorough feedback on each article, but whether or not I am able to do this successfully is left to others to judge.

As an editor I consider myself to be neither inclusionist nor deletionist. I believe each article should be judged on its own merits even if the subject seems ludicrous at a first glance. As a consequence I hang around articles for deletion with certain regularity too.
