I generally edit Mesoamerican articles to do with archaeology or folklore, particularly in Guatemala and Mexico. I occasionally edit fortean or paranormal articles. See also my page at Wikimedia Commons, with photos I've uploaded of Mesoamerican archaeological sites and one or two Guatemalan villages. I also contribute to the Spanish-language version of Wikipedia from time to time (click to see my user page there).
