Hello, and welcome to my user page! I'm Espyo, one of the [[Pikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] of Pikipedia. If you have ''any'' question about anything wiki or ''Pikmin'' related, please, do not hesitate to [[User talk:Espyo|ask]].


But seriously, there's almost nothing to talk about me, per se. So let's see...
==About me==
I currently own a [[Nintendo GameCube]] and a [[Nintendo Wii]], as well as the European [[Region|version]] of the [[GameCube]] [[Pikmin series|games]]. I will very shortly obtain a Wii U and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', and as for the ''[[New Play Control!]]'' versions, I do have access to them, but do not own them.
 
In other places, I am also known as SRB2Espyo or EspyoPT; mostly when "Espyo" is already taken. I was born in 1991, and I'm from Portugal. My current project is the [[fanon:Topic:Pikmin Engine by Espyo|Pikmin fangame engine]].


==About me==
==Me and the wiki==
I own a [[Nintendo GameCube]] and a [[Nintendo Wii]], as well as both [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]]. I don't have the ''NPC!'' versions, and I'm looking really forward to ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.
I've had a long past with the wiki, amounting to me being the fan I am today. Don't assume I'm an administrator for no reason, as I've always fought tooth and nail for the best interest of this community I'm so invested in.


I am also known as SRB2Espyo. I was born in Nov 1991, and I'm from Portugal. I'm currently working on a rhythm game based on ''[[Mother:Mother 3|Mother 3]]'''s battle combo system, http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1627/logo2128.png '''''[http://pkrhythm.sourceforge.net PK Rhythm]'''''.
Back when [[Pikipedia:About|Pikipedia]] was still hosted at Wikia, I had ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', and decided to search for a wiki specialized in the ''Pikmin'' franchise. I found it on Wikia and for quite a while, I dedicatedly contributed to it in any way I could, eventually reaching over 400 edits, before having to leave the wiki behind, when the split happened. On Pikipedia, only a few of the most dedicate fans remained, me being one of them.


Despite being Portuguese, I think I know the English language quite well. In fact, I avoid mistakes most people tend to make. Notably: its vs it's. I do have a ''bit'' of trouble with constructing sentences but hey, it's not my first language, so sue me.
During my time on post-split Pikipedia, I eventually worked on several articles, always cleaning up and adding things wherever I could. As time passed, my English skills, my ability to work with wikis, and my ''Pikmin'' knowledge grew ever stronger. Currently, I'd say I'm one of the most dedicated ''Pikmin'' fans out there.


==I can...==
In 2014, one of my most active years, I worked on raising the bar on article quality several times over. Sometimes noting a thing that could serve as a new guideline, sometimes realizing something to add to a template, etc. Every little detail I could find, I tried to improve upon and update the corresponding guidelines, in order to maximize the wiki's quality. On top of that, I also started getting technical and abstract, and started working on content and articles that relate to stuff [[:Category:Real world|outside the games' canon]], as well as technical content from within the game's data, specially [http://tcrf.net unused content]. I also worked on other small details here and there, such as the [[Fanon:Topic:Pikmin Engine by Espyo|engine]], tools to help examine game content, and a bot for the [[Special:WebChat|chatroom]], known as Testyo.
If there's anything Pikmin-related you need that requires some extra tools, and I'm able to do it, you can send me a request on my talk page, and I'll probably do it, specially if it's important for the wiki.


That said, I can...
Eventually, this caught the attention of editors at Pikmin Wiki, which, at the time, was monumental. I was called in to discuss the possibility of a merge between the two wikis, something I've always planned on doing. We talked, we discussed, we planned, and after a long night, we eventually reached the conclusion that the community will all stick in Pikipedia, in order for it to become the ultimate ''Pikmin'' wiki.

At last, after many years, Pikipedia is finally growing to be the incredible ''Pikmin'' encyclopedia that I – and no doubt, so many more wonderful members of the community – so tirelessly fought for.

Hello, and welcome to my user page! I'm Espyo, one of the administrators of Pikipedia. If you have any question about anything wiki or Pikmin related, please, do not hesitate to ask.

About me

I currently own a Nintendo GameCube and a Nintendo Wii, as well as the European version of the GameCube games. I will very shortly obtain a Wii U and Pikmin 3, and as for the New Play Control! versions, I do have access to them, but do not own them.

In other places, I am also known as SRB2Espyo or EspyoPT; mostly when "Espyo" is already taken. I was born in 1991, and I'm from Portugal. My current project is the Pikmin fangame engine.

Me and the wiki

I've had a long past with the wiki, amounting to me being the fan I am today. Don't assume I'm an administrator for no reason, as I've always fought tooth and nail for the best interest of this community I'm so invested in.

Back when Pikipedia was still hosted at Wikia, I had Pikmin, and decided to search for a wiki specialized in the Pikmin franchise. I found it on Wikia and for quite a while, I dedicatedly contributed to it in any way I could, eventually reaching over 400 edits, before having to leave the wiki behind, when the split happened. On Pikipedia, only a few of the most dedicate fans remained, me being one of them.

During my time on post-split Pikipedia, I eventually worked on several articles, always cleaning up and adding things wherever I could. As time passed, my English skills, my ability to work with wikis, and my Pikmin knowledge grew ever stronger. Currently, I'd say I'm one of the most dedicated Pikmin fans out there.

In 2014, one of my most active years, I worked on raising the bar on article quality several times over. Sometimes noting a thing that could serve as a new guideline, sometimes realizing something to add to a template, etc. Every little detail I could find, I tried to improve upon and update the corresponding guidelines, in order to maximize the wiki's quality. On top of that, I also started getting technical and abstract, and started working on content and articles that relate to stuff outside the games' canon, as well as technical content from within the game's data, specially unused content. I also worked on other small details here and there, such as the engine, tools to help examine game content, and a bot for the chatroom, known as Testyo.

Eventually, this caught the attention of editors at Pikmin Wiki, which, at the time, was monumental. I was called in to discuss the possibility of a merge between the two wikis, something I've always planned on doing. We talked, we discussed, we planned, and after a long night, we eventually reached the conclusion that the community will all stick in Pikipedia, in order for it to become the ultimate Pikmin wiki.

At last, after many years, Pikipedia is finally growing to be the incredible Pikmin encyclopedia that I – and no doubt, so many more wonderful members of the community – so tirelessly fought for.
