I presume that any enquiries will eventually land here, so I have rather slothfully put my observations here before I embark into a more journalistic report of whats and whys.
This page is pure egotism. Thus, against the principles of Wikipedia. But not so about GNU. If you know me, please fill in! If you do not, meet me first. tutu-ruru-tu-trum-trum-...
Well, after a long lapse of parasitosis (of me into my room,) I decided to ignore my oath for humility and start filling out this page by myself... I must say that if you still have (or should have) any comments, questions, suggestions; silly complains, uncensorable insults, or even more preferably: answers (henceforth regarded as absolute truths about facts that I might have blasphemously tainted with the slightest air or doubt,) they are all welcomed at the bottom of this page in my ring of comments.
I came back to my original purpose of bringing some life to the unbearably dreadful mathematical reference on the web. Don't misinterpret the content is so far very decent, more than what I could really predict a year ago, but it's still crying for some structure.
Come on, just go a watch Wikipedia:Requested articles/Mathematics and realize the abysmal deficit between offered gifts and wish letters to Santa Claus.... we are FAAAAAAAAR from it.

Probably the hardest part of writing a mathematical article (actually, any article) is the difficulty of addressing the level of mathematical knowledge on the part of the reader. For example, when writing about a field, do we assume that the reader already knows group theory? A general approach is to start simple, then move toward more abstract and general statements as the article proceeds. The structure described below is one way of achieving this.
I am a partisan that if something can be addressed to a level comparable to that of any elementary article or research material as in the American Mathematical Monthly, it should be done so.
User:Michael Hardy is quite an interesting guy; I guess I will look for some more vivid communication with him. to the public in general, please help me get in touch with yourself if you're a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Participants list, which surprisingly enough is still quite small (boooooom! -- hope this will not result in an membership explosion in a few days)
Bugs, Compliance Issues and Incompatibilities
Rather banal and frivolous, but still here, is my list of inconvenient claims:
- I don't understand this system of titling subjects. OK. algebraic geometry as opposed to Algebraic Geometry causes none to lose anything (other than my sense of orientation) and, granted, The Fundamental Theorem of Xxxology... has become rather a laughable chiché in the mathematical phraseology. But come on! reading Hilbert's nullstellenstatz simply desenchants the student and even hurts the pride of german speakers. (Go and ask!) But... whatever.
Biography and further paraphernalia
My name is Fernando. Mmmhhhh... Fernando Espinosa, rather. More completely, Fernando Espinosa González... yet another González. I was born in Mexico City (surprise?) on Saturday, April 11 1981, 20:25 (UTC), and emigrated to Canada on 1998 (surprise?) A recent «study» has shown that the average people born about mid-April in the northern hemisphere consider themselves happy 15% more often than the rest. Although statistics is nothing else but a pompous name for lie, I find it rather amusing because I often find myself drawn into an uncontrollable state of happy mediocrity and the coincidence just can't be so huge...I am...
- I'm a highly unsuccessful mathematician living in Toronto, still Canada (oddly enough, there is a Toronto in Texas.) Graduate from the infamous University of Toronto and keeping myself bussy reading whatsoever comes to my hands, and always trying to believe the least possible. Lots and lots of years in the making, but right now totally fed up with... the early 20's.
- A cheap existentialist. Almost a denyist. An idealist. An stupid idealist. While some people have stupid ideals, most fancy only expensive illusions.
I love...
- Mathematics.
- Poetry.
- Chess. Presumably, I was going to become a professional chess player instead. By 15, I did nothing but play it. I never became really good, however.
- Programing. As in Computer Programming. I am self made, almost a geek. Not yet a guru, but that's certainly my objective.
I hate...
- Manchester United. In general, anything that smells like English soccer. No hate mail related to this issue here, please... hooligans go away, fui-fui!

Great editor of math artiles :D, I really apreciated your extensive knowledge, in other words YOU KICK ASS!
-- gee, thanx!
