My handle (Roadmaster) came from the old Test Drive video game. I want to live here.
Wikipedia is NOT a democracy.
I'm from Mexico, although I currently live in Montreal, Canada. I'm able to help with any Mexico-related articles, of which I've contributed a few myself (see below). I'm also available to help with translation between spanish and english.
Nice articles. The ones with asterisk I started, the other ones I've added stuff to:
- French Press *
- Van Jacobson *
- Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression *
- TAESA *
- World Trade Center México * (this one I'm particularly proud of; my only shame is I never found the time to take the picture myself).
- Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros *
- Torre Latinoamericana * (I can't believe I actually started this one! WHEE!)
- Pesero *
- Flans *
- Torre Mayor *
- Metro General Anaya
- Estadio Azteca
Also I have taken and uploaded some pictures, under the GFDL for use on Wikipedia and related projects.
Of course my pictures will probably never be featured like this one:

Venus Anadyomene is an oil-on-canvas painting by Titian, dating to around 1520. It depicts the Greek goddess Venus rising from the sea and wringing her hair, with a shell visible at the bottom left, taken from a description of Venus by the Greek poet Hesiod in which she was born fully-grown from a shell. The wringing of her hair is a direct imitation of Apelles's lost masterwork, also called Venus Anadyomene. The painting is in good condition and achieved public ownership in 2003 when it was purchased from Francis Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland. It is now in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland.Painting credit: Titian
