====About me====
[[File:AlexCovarrubias.jpg|thumb|146px|right|This is me.]]

* '''Name:''' Alejandro Covarrubias
* '''Location:''' [[North America]] > [[Mexico]] > [[Nuevo León|NL]] > [[Monterrey]]
* '''Position:''' Wikipedia volunteer editor
* '''Member since:''' April 19, 2005
* '''Contact:''' Leave me a '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:AlexCovarrubias&action=edit&section=new  message]''' [[Image:Mail-closed.svg|20px]]
* '''Topics of interest:''' [[activism]], [[geography]] in general, [[politics]], [[geopolitics]], [[Mexico]], [[Latin America]], [[North America]], [[Airbus A320|Airbus aircraft]] and italian singer [[Laura Pausini]]. I also love to design and create images to illustrate Wikipedia.

* '''What I love of Wikipedia:''' The opportunity to donate my free time to improve the overall project, making friends from all over the world.
* '''What I hate about Wikipedia:''' How a single bad-faithed user can disrupt an article and nothing can be done immediatly, how certain administrators are risk-averse when making decisions, systemic-bias.


I'm a Wikipedia enthusiast from the city of [[Monterrey]], located to the northeast of the country. As a patriot [[Mexico|Mexican]] I want the world to ''really'' know my country, the present-day Mexico, especially because Hollywood ''cliches'' tend to give people a very bad, totally wrong idea of what Mexico is. I like writing in Wikipedia and it has become my main ''[[hobby]]''. I'm here to contribute in topics related with Mexico's history, culture, values and political status in Latin America and the world. I also enjoy writing about [[North America]], [[Latin America]] and about [[geography]]-related articles.

I'm currently a full-time [[activist]] in my city, working with the organization ''Frente Nuevo León''.

As a web and graphical designer, I have the skills to produce high quality images and graphics, so I have found myself creating maps and taking pictures to illustrate several articles... and I'm enjoying it a lot!
