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:
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:
Shirley Graham Du Bois (November 11, 1896 – March 27, 1977) was an American-Ghanaian writer, playwright, composer, and activist for African-American causes. Born in
Indianapolis to an Episcopal minister, she moved with her family throughout the United States as a child. After marrying her first husband, she moved to Paris to study music at the
Sorbonne. After her divorce and return to the United States, Graham Du Bois took positions at
Howard University and
Morgan College before completing her BA and master's at
Oberlin College in Ohio. Her first major work was the opera
Tom-Tom, which premiered in
Cleveland in 1932. She married
W. E. B. Du Bois in 1951, and the couple later lived in Ghana, Tanzania and China. She won several prizes, including an
Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for her 1949 biography of
Benjamin Banneker. This photograph of Graham Du Bois was taken by
Carl Van Vechten in 1946.
