This page is a list of things I did at Wikipedia, in chronological order. I have divided my contributions by "periods" of what I seemed to be on about at a given time. I mention the contributions I thought most worth noticing, and the date in which I made them. For many of the articles that I mention at a particular date, I returned to them at later dates to make further edits, which is not mentioned.
Origin–June 2022: Medieval and early modern philosophy
I have had this Wikipedia account since I was a very young teenager, and I don't remember why I made it so many years ago or what I did with it back then.
In September 2020, I began using my account by revising the
Absence of good article.
These summaries were based entirely on the books themselves, which were cited as primary sources. In the articles about the books by Mises and Rothbard, this material was removed for this reason, while there were no such complaints in the other book articles. (I guess someone must have felt a personal connection to Mises and Rothbard.) Although I have stopped following edits to these articles closely, I maintain that the practice was acceptable in all cases, since
WP:USEPRIMARY claims that, for a novel, "the novel itself is an acceptable primary source for information about the plot", which surely can extend to nonfiction, when the claims made about its content are non-interpretive, as in the summaries I had added to these articles (and similar summaries). The policy followed by the other editors of those articles, of preventing such non-interpretive summarizing of nonfiction, would, if generalized, severely stifle Wikipedia's coverage of books.
May–July 2023: Esoteric and Brazilian content
In May and June 2023, I added a bunch of articles about Brazilian topics to Wikipedia by translating them from Portuguese-language Wikipedia, and revised some articles about Brazilian topics by replacing some or all of the original English-language text with text translated to English from the Portuguese-language article. I think this is not very interesting since these additions and revisions were merely translations, which I consider to be relatively uncreative work, so I won't name all of the articles in which I did this. My favorite creations from this period are probably
The First Mass in Brazil (Victor Meirelles) and
Carteirada; my most extensive revisions-by-translation on Brazilian topics were to
Kardecist spiritism and to
JBS S.A., which included additions of some articles about topics related to these.
In June 2023, I made a major revision to
Egregore, which included creating
Template:Esotericism. I also revised the
Olavo de Carvalho article, reorganizing it and adding more detail on Olavo's
conspiracist and
philosophical views. As part of a dispute about the fact that Olavo made claims about Obama's "military enlistment" (which may not exist), I produced a complete translation of the newspaper column in which Olavo made the relevant claim, and
added it to my user space.
In May 2024, I made edits to
Natural deduction, introducing some usage of the ubiquitous
Suppes–Lemmon notation into the article – although still only for the propositional calculus, for now.
Nothing else I did is worth noticing, for now.
