Hey there! I'm Nafield. I'm only a Spanish Wikipedian who came to English Wikipedia to improve his English... And stayed!
Well, I don't like those enormous texts of 2,000 words about someone's relation with Wikipedia that can be summarized in one paragraph, at most. Neither I like to find someone's PhDs, Bachelors, or MAs, specially since I'm not American and I don't get what's a PhD exactly.
My main passions are writing, eating, and linguistics in general. Also, I like demographics, history (specially WWI, and WWII), alternate history, current news (and social impact of these). But, above them all, I have one passion, the United States, concretely, New York City. I think it's such a beautiful city, I'd love to visit it (not yet, though) and who knows... Maybe moving there someday? After all, knowing more about the U.S. and NYC is the main reason I try to improve my English.
As I am Spanish, I thought my contributions would be more useful to Spain-related topics (specially in the start), so it was the first topic I worked with.
I'm currently assessing all of the unassessed articles related of WikiProject Spain.
