• I have had this Wikipedia account since I was a very young teenager, and I don't remember why I made it so many years ago or what I did with it back then. The quoted sentence at the top of this user page was left by User:Ks0stm after the first edit I made to my user page was suppressed, presumably because I gave too much identifying information about a minor (I don't remember what I actually wrote). I liked it, so I left it up there.
• In September 2020, I began using my account by revising the Absence of good article.
• In August 2021, I edited the De duodecim abusivis saeculi article.
• In June 2022, I made a major revision to the Best of all possible worlds article.

• In February 2023, I remade the summary of The Open Society and Its Enemies, by Karl Popper, at that book's article. Then, I added summaries for The Ethics of Liberty, The Betrayal of the American Right, Man, Economy and State, and Power and Market by Murray Rothbard; Economics in One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt; Human Action, by Ludwig von Mises; and The State, by Franz Oppenheimer.
  • These summaries were based entirely on the books themselves, which were cited as primary sources. In the articles about the books by Mises and Rothbard, this material was removed for this reason, while there were no such complaints in the other book articles. (I guess someone must have felt a personal connection to Mises and Rothbard.) Although I have stopped following edits to these articles closely, I maintain that the practice was acceptable in all cases, since WP:USEPRIMARY claims that, for a novel, "the novel itself is an acceptable primary source for information about the plot", which surely can extend to nonfiction, when the claims made about its content are non-interpretive, as in the summaries I had added to these articles (and similar summaries). The policy followed by the other editors of those articles, of preventing such non-interpretive summarizing of nonfiction, would, if generalized, severely stifle Wikipedia's coverage of books.

• In May and June 2023, I added a bunch of articles about Brazilian topics to Wikipedia by translating them from Portuguese-language Wikipedia, and revised some articles about Brazilian topics by replacing some or all of the original English-language text with text translated to English from the Portuguese-language article. I think this is not very interesting since these additions and revisions were merely translations, which I consider to be relatively uncreative work, so I won't name all of the articles in which I did this. My favorite creations from this period are probably The First Mass in Brazil (Victor Meirelles) and Carteirada; my most extensive revisions-by-translation on Brazilian topics were to Kardecist spiritism and to JBS S.A., which included additions of some articles about topics related to these.
• In June 2023, I made a major revision to Egregore, which included creating Template:Esotericism. I also revised the Olavo de Carvalho article, reorganizing it and adding more detail on Olavo's conspiracist and philosophical views. As part of a dispute about the fact that Olavo made claims about Obama's "military enlistment" (which may not exist), I produced a complete translation of the newspaper column in which Olavo made the relevant claim, and added it to my user space.
• In July 2023, I continued improving the Egregore and Olavo de Carvalho articles.

• In July 2023, after restructuring the Peter Abelard article, I moved material from the Peter Abelard and Héloïse articles to a separate article titled Letters of Abelard and Heloise. I also edited Open secret.
• On August 31, 2023, I wrote the entire contents of the A Preface to Paradise Lost article, which had been a stub.
• In November 2023, I made edits to the Modern Moral Philosophy article, which would later grow to be a major revision.

• In February 2024, I added a List of set theory symbols to my userspace. I'm not sure if it overlaps too much with the List of mathematical symbols by subject, but I wanted to use the format of the List of logic symbols, which is the best-looking symbol table on Wikipedia, in my opinion.
• In March 2024, I made a major revision to Block matrix. I made many edits to Propositional logic (then titled "Propositional calculus"), for which I created the Template:Formal languages and Template:Logical connectives sidebar. I began putting together the glossary of logic in my userspace, which I finished in April and moved to mainspace.
• In April 2024, I continued editing Propositional logic and making logic-related edits, for which I created the Template:Normal forms in logic and the Template:Diagrams in logic. I also made a major revision to Moral patienthood, and created the Glossary of mereology as part of minor maintenance on Mereology. Eventually, I completed and published the Glossary of logic.
• In May 2024, I made edits to Natural deduction, introducing some usage of the ubiquitous Suppes–Lemmon notation into the article – although still only for the propositional calculus, for now.
• In June 2024, I continued to make edits related to logic and set theory, which included minor improvements to Axiom schema of specification and to Axiom of empty set, as well as a major revision of Scope (logic), the creation of Conjunction/disjunction duality, and further minor improvements to Propositional logic and Natural deduction.
• In July 2024, I continued improving Propositional logic, partly by moving some excessive details to Hilbert system. I still hope to add material to the former, and to replace unsourced material in the latter with well-sourced material, but at least Propositional logic doesn't have any unsourced sections anymore.
• In August 2024, I edited Unigenitus (1343) and participated in a discussion regarding my revisions to Hilbert system, making further revisions in response to the complaints therein. I think this may have turned me off from making major edits to Wikipedia for a while.
• In November 2024, I edited Axiom of extensionality.

• In December 2024, I edited Essays and Reviews.
• In January 2025, I edited Sorites paradox.
• In March 2025, I made a major expansion to Infinite Energy (magazine), and created Artists in Exile.
• In June 2025, I made major edits to Pragmatics; added a lot of text to Oriental despotism; created La Voltairomanie and Questions sur l'Encyclopédie by translation.
• In July 2025, I made a major revision to Well-ordering principle and added most of the page content (at the time) to Three Books of Occult Philosophy. I also made a major revision to Paradoxes of material implication.
• In August 2025, I created Viterbi semiring. I added content to Terence Horgan and to Newcomb's problem, as well as illustration.

• In October 2025 I created "Conditional logic".
• In November 2025:
  • Philosophy of language: I got really into the Wittgensteinian philosophical idea of "language games" and analyses of arguments in terms of it, especially by making formal dialogue games; so I did simple revamps of Lauri Carlson, Reason (argument), Private language argument, Social ontology, Situation semantics (including Situation theory), Conversational scoreboard, and Speech act. Related to this, I created articles on How to Do Things with Words and Speech Acts (book). Since, in the latter book, Searle referred to what we now call "Ordinary language philosophy" as "linguistic philosophy", I found that interesting, so I revised that article as well. I made a revision to Verificationism and, as part of that, created Template:Logical positivism sidebar.
  • Conversations I was having: I also did a revision-by-translation on National Day of Zumbi and Black Consciousness in order to better explain the holiday to some Italians I was talking to at work, who had mistakenly attempted to schedule a meeting on that day; and I added Concept horse paradox to explain the concept horse paradox to someone who I was talking to on X (formerly Twitter). I created Farmland Protection Policy Act because I was looking into the act's effects on housing development.
• In December 2025, I revised Four-dimensionalism, and created Associativity equation. While revising Conditional logic, I created Richmond Thomason and "Ramsey test", as well as Brian Chellas. Since I was dealing with Chellas anyway, I went ahead and created Agentive logic and STIT logic. There were complaints about my edits to "Conditional logic" and "Ramsey test", which I disputed; I still think it was unfair that the complaints mentioned no specific issues with tone or sourcing. I then edited A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities and The Myth of the Framework.
• In January 2026, I created Locke's place-time-kind principle.

• In March 2026:
  • I developed Template:Peg solitaire diagram and Template:Peg solitaire sequence, allowing much better depiction of positions and moves in the Peg solitaire article, which had previously relied on monospaced text makeshifts.
  • On March 18, 2026, I made a Wikipedia essay on AI policy on Wikipedia, WP:PANGRAM, but it quickly became outdated because on March 20, 2026, Wikipedia:Writing articles with large language models/RfC changed the LLM guideline on Wikipedia, which, given its consensus-supported strong wording and WP:PGE, is tantamount to a policy change.
  • I also created Category:Triangles named after people, and Hayekian triangle.
• In April 2026, I realized that my LLM policy essay had become outdated and moved it back to my userspace. Although it was already outdated as of March 20, it took me until April 8 to realize this. Any violations of the updated policy from before April 8 were done without knowledge of it, and I obviously have no intention of violating policy.

• In June 2026, I edited Polylogism and Ludwig von Mises, mostly by cutting some original research from both articles.

Nothing else I did is worth noticing, for now. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2026 (UTC)
