I'm Waldir Pimenta, a Cape Verdean born in Russia and currently living in 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 :)

Articles to watch
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.
- Recheck the stats table to make sure the numbers are correct. Might need to tweak the banner template's categorization scheme.
- 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.
- 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)
- Standardize pages for individual days, see User:Waldyrious/16 February 1986
- 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.
- Make a calendar filled with International observance#Days and possibly List of commemorative days (if they're not specific to a nation or subset thereof), using {{calendar}}
recurring tasks
- Category:Dead-end pages vs. Can We Link It?
- Disambiguation
- Disambiguation pages with links vs. dab fixers / Suggestions for disambiguation repair
- {{Lookfrom}} (prefixindex) and {{intitle}} (intitle search)
- {{refer}}
- Misplaced Pages:Disambiguation pages aren't articles
- Category:Orphaned articles and Special:Lonelypages
- Categories starting at "Cape Verde". Look for red links and fix them.
admin tasks
- edit requests on protected pages
- history merges (howto)
- Unprotection requests
Deletion
- todo: make templates below add specific categories, so that backlog can be counted
- G1-nonsense
- G2-test pages
- G6-uncontroversial cleanup/housekeeping (db-g6 | db-move | db-disambig | db-copypaste)
- G8-broken redirects
- R3-implausible typos
- F10-bad format
- U1-user request
Files
- Duplicate Misplaced Pages files on Wikimedia Commons (probably {{db-f8}} should be merged into {{Now Commons}}):
- with the same name, from:
- with a different name, from:
- Duplicate Misplaced Pages files on Misplaced Pages (the two templates / categories below should probably be merged):
- F1-dupes (added by {{db-f1}})
- Duplicate Misplaced Pages files (added by {{duplicate}})
- F2-corrupt files
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
- Notes and references:
- Help:Footnotes#List-defined references & Help:List-defined references (references defined in a list at the end of the page, rather than inline)
- WP:REFNEST (nesting references, e.g. a footnote with a reference of its own).
- Help:Shortened footnotes (named references with split sections for the short notes and the full references)
{{rp|12,34}}—Lorem ipsum— and{{rp|at=12:34}}—Lorem ipsum— for referencing pages, timestamps, etc. while reusing the same main reference- meta:WMDE Technical Wishes/Book referencing does the same but natively
- retrieve DOI of a document given its title and other data
- Several tools for references and external links
- References and punctuation: WP:REFPUNCT and WP:PAIC
- {{xsign}}
- Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request
- Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/May 2010 skin change/Bug reports
- How to fix bunched-up edit links:
{{FixBunching|beg}}, {{FixBunching|mid}}, {{FixBunching|end}}. - {{Plain image with caption}}
{{div col|colwidth=10em|cols=3}}...{{div col end}}- {{ql}} & {{diff2}}
- Check out the age counter at User:Wikitanvir/userboxes (and also the user age userbox)
- {{flatlist}}
- auto-updating timelines! See mw:Extension:EasyTimeline#Using the current date and {{Timeline openSUSE}} for an example.
- test sorting order of various characters: Help:Sorting#Alphabetic sorting order
- IMO WP:CLUE should actually point to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject on Adminship/Goals of the adminship process#Discernment, possibly also linking to Misplaced Pages:Guide to requests for adminship, Misplaced Pages:Miniguide to requests for adminship, Misplaced Pages:Advice for RfA candidates, and Misplaced Pages:Administrators#Expectations of adminship (as listed on this discussion)
- Javascript Wiki Browser (JWB)
- Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Layout#Order of article elements (e.g. section headings, templates...)
- Quick cheatsheet: "See also" > "Notes and references" (one or two sections) > "Further reading" > "External links" > templates (navboxes, commonscat, etc.)
- For revision history search, an alternative to WikiBlame is WikiRever (example)
- {{Annotated link}} → produces a link to an article followed by its short description; very useful for "See also" sections

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
- Contributions/188.82.72.82, 8 February 2014. Using the Android mobile app, apparently my login had expired or something, but the interface still showed me as logged in. After a log-out/log-in, it worked properly.
