[edit] Wikipedia and me
I registered as Wikipedia user on 18 January 2008 and I think I enjoy it. What brought me to editing Wikipedia in the first place was reading the book Wikinomics (by Tapscott and Williams).
Most of my edits are on articles that reflect my interests. When I research a topic, I look up important terms in Wikipedia, making minor improvements if I can. Then, if I have time and some relevant information that was not included, I expand the section or article (or add a new article).
[edit] WikiFauna
From the description of the WikiFauna creatures, I think I am closest to the WikiSloth.

[edit] Nahraana. What?
Nahraana is only my Wikipedia username. It comes from the transliteration to English of a female Hebrew name, with its syllables changed of order (see subsection below).
[edit] Changing the order of syllables
This is very common where I come from. Examples are "feca" standing for "café", "rope" for "perro" and so on.
I believe it comes from the time of the large inmigration waves to Argentina in the first half of the 20th century, when settled inhabitants wanted to differentiate themselves from the newcomers. Eventually, the habit became mainstream in regional slang.
