I, Me, Myself

I created a username on Wikipedia on 24th April 2009, so that I don't make changes in articles with anonymous ISP addresses, so that I can have greater access rights and learn more... I've browsed wikipedia for years, since 2003, and I used to edit articles anonymously without a username... I wonder why I didnt create one earlier, it has been a great experience so far! :-) And a loooong way to go in the learning, I am sooo illiterate at wikiing! :-)

My wikipediholism test says, "You are heavily addicted to Wikipedia and are showing symptoms of Wikipediholism." :-D

Picture of the day

Picture of the day

The Tocopilla railway was a mountain railway built to serve the sodium nitrate mines in the Toco area of the Antofagasta Region in Chile. With a gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm), it ran from the port of Tocopilla on the Pacific coast up to a height of 4,902 feet (1,494 metres), with gradients up to 1 in 24. The railway was built by a joint-stock company founded in London and was designed by William Stirling of Lima, with a detailed description of the initial operation of the railway published by his brother Robert in 1900. The line was electrified in the mid-1920s and expanded in 1930 with the addition of lines serving new areas of mining. It continued operating into the 21st century, but was forced to close in 2015 when flash flooding caused numerous washouts on the electrified section of the railroad. With the declining prospects for nitrate, it was not economical for the line to be repaired. This photograph taken in 2013 shows a boxcab on the Tocopilla railway, leading a train down towards the coast.Photograph credit: David Gubler

Captions

This is an image of the bust of Socrates, and this text is a caption.

An image's caption is text that accompanies the image. The caption may include the title of the picture and/or an explanation of what is depicted in the image. Not every Wikipedia image needs a caption: some are simply decorative, while some others are self-explanatory. Captions should not repeat the article title name unnecessarily.

If you decide that an image does not need a caption, then please follow the advice at Wikipedia:Alternative text for images to specify appropriate "alt" text. Alt text should not be a mirror of the caption text. Captions can be added by using the frame or thumb parameter as part of an image tag. For example: [[File:imagename.jpg|thumb|Write the caption here]]
