User:Cpiral/porfolio

I started in earnest with Wikipedia on July 4th, 2009. I go through my real-time contributions list occasionally if I need to catch-up for this portfolio.

I am an editor who thinks deeply and carefully about the accepted facts of a subject. I hope this portfolio show you how my mind works to make these factual associations.

These are my "copyedits" and "reviews", which aim for a better teaching quality of the article. By review I mean more than copyedit. A copyedit rewrites, and a review adds (cited?) teaching content.

Talk page style

Displays of passion are not hard to suppress online, yet they slip through disguised.

How I've talked with outstanding members of Wikipedia

Some of these expressions might have no place in an ordinary portfolio, but are the no-pride truth of my passion past.
