I'm Waldir Pimenta, a Russia-born Cape Verdean PhD student in computer generated holography at a Portuguese university.
On Wikipedia, I tend to do mostly maintenance work. Besides random fixes to articles I stumble upon daily, I enjoy:
- Creating/improving disambiguation pages and redirects, adding disambiguation hatnotes to articles and sections, and adding useful links, in order to make information more easily findable
- Creating new articles in somewhat obscure yet encyclopedic topics
- Improving templates, mediawiki messages and scripts to make the interface more user-friendly
- Formatting and standardizing articles, and improving help and instructions pages to make the editing process more streamlined
- Improving coverage of Cape Verde-related topics
- Cleaning up discussion pages to better preserve the history and evolution of a topic's collaborative development
If there's anything I can help you with (especially if it involves tasks related to the above), drop me a message in my talk page :)

[edit] Anonymous Edits
- 212.13.33.178: Some of these are mine -- the IP's from where I currently live, anyway (Viana do Castelo, Portugal): [3]. I am not sure all of them are mine, though. The ones about Utopia certainly are. I definitely hope the others are not =P. But the only one I can firmly assure wasnt me, is the first one, since I wasn't in Viana do Castelo prior to September 2004.
- 194.79.75.114: I didnt realise I wasnt logged in until I had made several edits. The contributions of that IP are mine or from someone at my university (I think most of them are mine but I haven't checked them all). See also wikiscanner's entry on this IP.
- 82.155.122.172 (as of today, 11 dec 2008, a single edit -- the system somehow logged me off moments before I clicked the save button)
- 85.244.8.13 on 6 May 2009. I was too lazy to login.
- 188.82.193.82, 7 April 2011. Same as above.

Maybe create a template?
