==Presentation==
Hi, my name is João and I'm from Portugal. I joined Wikipedia on 17 August 2004 and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20040818025524&limit=50&target=Joaopais my first edit] was on the article [[Portugal]]. I'm happy that my first edit was on a country that I am very proud to live, but I only realised that my first one was on Portugal almost two years after. Also of note, is that the second article I've edited was on a Portuguese clown: [[Batatinha]]! My major fields are History of Portugal and Portuguese politics, and to a minor degree, Portuguese football. I have an extensive work in three articles: [[John III of Portugal]], [[History of Portugal (1578-1777)]] and [[History of Portugal (1777-1834)]]. I'm also the founder of [[Portal:Portugal|The Portugal Portal]] and a minor contributer, since I only sporadically update the news. You can also see my work in the ongoing process of creation/improving of the articles of Portuguese royal family members, and also in the templates on the four Portuguese dynasties: [[Template:House of Burgundy]], [[Template:House of Aviz]], [[Template:House of Habsburg]] and [[Template:House of Braganza]]. Regarding lists, I've been quite active in the promotion of [[List of Presidents of Portugal]] and [[List of Portuguese monarchs]] to featured status, and I'm currently working on [[List of Prime Ministers of Portugal]]. I was also a (incredibly) minor editor in the also featured [[List of municipalities of Portugal]]. In the end, I'd like to say I consider myself a little IPA-pronunciations-maniac, since every article that seems Portuguese to me immediately receives an IPA pronunciation. 

Here's a list of my edits:
