¡Hola a todos! Hola a tothom! Hallo alle sammen! Bienvenidos/Benvinguts/Velkommen.

Hey there! My name is Gustavo Góngora (Spanish pronunciation: [gon'gora], Basque surname meaning either "chieftain" or "small basin"). I'm a British- Spanish- Uruguayan Wikipedian based in Manchester, England. I obtained my Ph.D. in Translation and Intercultural Studies from the University of Manchester. I am not particularly active here, but feel free to contact me either on es.wiki or ca.wiki.

I used to be a member of Wikimedia España (Board member in 2011), Wikimedia UK, and Wikimedia Community Ireland. In the past, I was also a member of Amical Wikimedia, Wikimedia Uruguay, and Wikimedia Norge. As a linguist, I have an interest in improving articles related to minority languages and cultural heritage. I usually translate articles from the English Wikipedia into Catalan, Spanish, Asturian and Norwegian Bokmål. These days I write mostly about notable women, Wales, Ireland, Celtic mythology, Norway, Uruguay, the Iberian Peninsula, and the UK.

I was a jury member for the first edition of Wiki Loves Monuments. In June 2018 I attended the Academia and Wikipedia Conference in Maynooth, Ireland, and in July 2018 I was invited to take part in the second edition of the Celtic Knot Conference, jointly organised by the National Library of Wales and Wikimedia UK. From 2017 to 2019 I served as a member of the Ombudsman Commission.

Thank you for quality articles in several languages, including here Elena Zuasti and La Paz, Canelones, and there es:Termas del Arapey and es:D. H. Lawrence, for service from 2006, growing to a "Wikiholic who is proud of his addiction", - Gustavo, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Miscellaneous

Born in the Americas, I've always been interested in genealogy, heraldry and cultural heritage, although my contributions to these fields on Wikipedia are scarce. Outside Wikipedia, I have worked extensively on genealogy-related topics.
