I am an Architect born in Brazil, who have been working with garden plants, and mostly orchids, during the last 20 years. I am an authorized taxonomist of American Orchid Society and of Orchid Conservation Coalition. I am one of the reviewers of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - World Checklist of Monocotyledons. I have published a number of articles on Selbyana, Orchids Magazine, and some other journals, but I am more interested in publishing easily available online free articles, rather than publishing on paper.

Ok, so let me add some more about me here now that I've been accepted. I am not a native English Speaker therefore my grammar may seems odd sometimes, I will need assistance of English Speakers after I upload the articles I will work on. I joined wikipedia last September and have ever since dedicated much of my time to it. I creaded about two thousand new sketches or articles mostly on Orchids. From these, four have been featured and are completely original I have also uploaded more than a thousand of my own photographs to commons. After these 5 months editing there, I am not happy there and feel I need more serious environment.  
{{TOC|right}}
A list of [[/Orchid_genera_of_Brazil|orchid genera of Brazil]] I am writing some articles for now.


Despite I can write in English, I feel much more confortable working in Portuguese for texts come much easier and bolder. I am ready to help whenever Portuguese articles are allowed here. I am also ready to translate any documentation page to Portuguese.
{{Usertime-text|Dalton}}{{Template:Utc|-3}}


I see Botany pages are still on its baby steps. I have much to learn before starting etiding Citizendium and need to get used to the differences from Wikipedia, however it seems reasonable that I translate the article about Orchidaceae I wrote last month for Portuguese version of wikipedia. Any corretion or advice will be much welcome.
==Finished articles==


I applied to an Editor position also, but that is not important at this time, although I am sure I can help with general lines of development of orchid taxonomy related articles.
I am not a native English speaker therefore my grammar may seems odd sometimes. The following articles are finished but still need copy editing by native speakers. Please, feel free to do it and erase it from the list, Thanks!

The column of the flowers of Ornithocephalus myrticola resembles the head of a bird, therefore the name of the genus. Their tiny flowers are just like birds showing off or getting ready to fly.

I am a Brazilian Architect graduated at Universidade de São Paulo, who have been working with garden plants, and mostly orchids, which I started to grow in 76, during the last 20 years. I am an authorized taxonomist of American Orchid Society and of Orchid Conservation Coalition. I am one of the reviewers of Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - World Checklist of Monocotyledons. I have published a number of articles on Selbyana, Orchids Magazine, and some other journals, but I am more interested in publishing easily available on line free articles, rather than publishing on paper. Classical music has been one of my hobbies during the last 30 years so I am able to contribute on articles about this subject too.

A list of orchid genera of Brazil I am writing some articles for now.
