Revision as of 11:56, 16 August 2008
I was born in 1985 in Rio de Janeiro, where I am living nowadays. I obtained a Bachelor of Economics at PUC-RJ, a university in Brazil. Between September/2005 and September/2006 I was member of the PET, a research group of students with the tutoring of teachers. In 2007 I worked on an enterprise of valuation and management consulting, but didn’t like it. Now I am studying to some exams, focusing the master’s degree in the field of International Relations.
The other main fields where I am interested to contribute here are History and Education. I like music, cinema, to travel, well, a lot of things, but probably I am going to be a reader instead of a righter on these themes.
I was a sysop at the Portuguese Wikipedia but got exhausted with all its internal conflicts and unmanageable problems, so I gave up. I think that Wikipedia will face big snags in the long-run if it doesn’t change some of its policies and principles… and probably it won’t change.
I don’t have too much time to work here but I would be happy to help this small but growing project. I believe that Citizendium has a much healthier environment than Wikipedia, a great potential to grow and it could even get the forefront of free online encyclopaedias (in overall quality, not quantity... Why? See the last external link below, please).
