I'm Waldir Pimenta, a Cape Verdean nerd born in Russia and currently pursuing a PhD in computer-generated holography at Universidade do Minho in Braga, Portugal.
On Misplaced Pages, I tend to do mostly maintenance work. Besides random fixes to articles I stumble upon daily, I enjoy:
- Creating/improving disambiguation pages and redirects, adding disambiguation hatnotes to articles and sections, and adding useful links, in order to make information more easily findable
- Creating new articles in somewhat obscure yet encyclopedic topics
- Improving templates, mediawiki messages and scripts to make the interface more user-friendly
- Cleaning up and standardizing the articles' wikicode to make it more readable and easier to edit
- Copyediting and formatting articles to conform to encyclopedic standards
- Improving help and project pages to ease Misplaced Pages editors' learning curve, by reducing text ambiguity, providing specific examples and linking to more specific guidance or resources whenever appropriate
- Improving coverage of Cape Verde-related topics
- Cleaning up talk pages to better preserve the history and evolution of a topic's collaborative development
If there's anything I can help you with (especially if it involves tasks related to the above), drop me a message in my talk page :)

- Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Cape Verde/Watchlist

To do
- Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Cape Verde
- Add content to (or create) articles in the category:American politicians of Cape Verdean descent from material stored in my computer (see also this)
- Create a dedicated importance scale, like WP Saints', and link Template:WikiProject Cape Verde to it rather than to Misplaced Pages:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria#Importance of topic as currently it does. Maybe a custom one for the Quality scale too.
- Change the stats table to use parameters to PAGESINCAT rather than ifeqs
- Add more entries to Cape Verde#International recognition from Lists of countries and territories and List of international rankings. See also: International rankings of Hong Kong
- bring data from The University of Florida Book of Insect Records (see also ). details at /UFBIR
- Move useful/encyclopedic content from Exploding head to the Scanners article and/or back to the disambig page.
- Properly format the articles titled after each of the Nereids.
- Add an attribute support table to Comparison of layout engines (Scalable Vector Graphics), similar to what they have in http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/presto26/#opsupport. See also http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/attindex.html, http://developer.mozilla.org/en/SVG/Element#Categories and http://developer.mozilla.org/en/SVG/Attribute
- try to illustrate Mammal articles without images with images from http://animalphotos.info
- rewrite Temporal paradox
- Albert Hammond's "I'm a Train" seems to have some similarity to the Hawaiian War Chant at least as performed by Timon and Pumbaa. Check this and make links if appropriate.
- Write essay Misplaced Pages:Observer effect (see WT:OR; {{Neologism}}; Observer effect (physics); Observer effect (information technology); Wikiality; truthiness; History is written by the victors; Truth by consensus; Misplaced Pages:Truth; Misplaced Pages:Verifiability, not truth; Misplaced Pages:The Truth; WP:CIRCULAR; Circular reporting)
- fix uses of {{?}} so that it can be used as a regular table cell template
- Can {{Infobox OS}} be recoded as a specialized {{Infobox software}}?
- Move some entries from Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Miscellaneous to more specific pages, and organize the rest. See also Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Views and affiliations vs. Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Views vs. Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Wikipedia/Editing philosophy.
- Natalie Dylan AfD (see User talk:Spartaz and User talk:Milowent)
- {{IPAc-en}} (see , also Misplaced Pages:IPA for Spanish)

- map2 in infobox country
- Template:Openness (see Misplaced Pages:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 January 6#Template:Openness)
- Apply the table/matrix approach to ccTLDs and ISO 639-1
- Help development and simplification (or at least code readability) of {{charmap}}. Examples of target usage: Ç#Computer, Â#Character mappings, É#Character mappings, Yer#Computing codes, A#Computing codes.

- G8-broken redirects
- R3-implausible typos

tools and links
- {{Lifetime}}
- Misplaced Pages uses the logical quotation style (thank god!)
- Dates (January 01, 2024 → 01 January 2024): find (+) (\d\d?), (19|20)(\d\d), replace $2 $1 $3$4
- Help:Footnotes#List-defined references & Help:List-defined references
- retrieve DOI of a document given its title and other data
- {{xsign}}

Anonymous Edits
- 212.13.33.178: Some of these are mine -- the IP's from where I currently live, anyway (Viana do Castelo, Portugal): . I am not sure all of them are mine, though. The ones about Utopia certainly are. I definitely hope the others are not =P. But the only one I can firmly assure wasnt me, is the first one, since I wasn't in Viana do Castelo prior to September 2004.
- 194.79.75.114: I didnt realise I wasnt logged in until I had made several edits. The contributions of that IP are mine or from someone at my university (I think most of them are mine but I haven't checked them all). See also wikiscanner's entry on this IP.
- 82.155.122.172 (as of today, 11 dec 2008, a single edit -- the system somehow logged me off moments before I clicked the save button)
- 85.244.8.13 on 6 May 2009. I was too lazy to login.
- 188.82.193.82, 7 April 2011. Same as above.
- 188.82.108.42, 16 April 2011

- meta:Research:Oral Citations

- Topics of interest
- Open source governance, Grassroots democracy, Deliberative democracy, Consensus democracy and others. Need to clarify what exactly are the differences between them
- Mind reading: Brain–computer interface#MEG and MRI. Cognitive neuroscience. Statistical parametric mapping. fMRI (and more generally, Functional neuroimaging). History of neuroimaging. Mind transfer#Brain imaging. Computational neuroscience#Cognition, discrimination and learning. Dramatized in Black Hole (House) –relevant scenes compiled here– (and probably many others). Nature: Identifying natural images from human brain activity, Nature: http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v12/n3/full/nn0309-245.html, and associated links. An interesting comment. Maybe create a template?
- Technological unemployment refers many interesting sources about automation and its effects on a capitalist market system.
