Hi!
 
My name is Jonathan (M. Finegold Catalán), and I am a citizen of both the [[United States of America]] and the [[Spain|Kingdom of Spain]]. I come from an eclectic background: my mother is Spanish, while my father is a mixture of [[Germany|German]] (mother's side), [[Ireland|Irish]] (mother's side), and [[Israel|Israeli]] (father's side). I have lived the majority of my life in the United States; roughly, two-thirds have been lived in the United States, while the remaining third I have lived in Spain (including between 2007–2008). The majority of my mother's side is [[People's Party (Spain)|conservative]], while my father's family has a healthy mix of [[Progressivism|progressives]] and [[Republican Party (United States)|conservatives]]. All the same, much of my mother's family is staunchly patriotic towards Spain and parts of my father's family are firmly [[Zionism|Zionist]]. I am a "die-hard" [[Libertarianism|libertarian]], borderline [[Anarcho-capitalism|anarcho-capitalist]]; I am a relatively frequent contributor to ''Mises Daily'', a daily online libertarian publication (see my archives [http://mises.org/daily/author/1410 here]).
 
I became an official editor of Wikipedia on December 12 2005. I am not sure what kind of edits I made early on, but the first two major articles I worked on were [[Second Battle of Kharkov]] and [[T-26]]. I worked on both until nominating them as featured article candidates. As my first major article, [[Second Battle of Kharkov]] did not make the cut—at first, poor citations, and later poor prose and insufficient citations. My first featured article was [[T-26]], featured on January 15 2007—not bad, only just over a year since my official registration. Nevertheless, I went on a long "wiki-break" thereafter, returning only by May 2008. Between May 2008 and January 2009 I worked on and successfully promoted thirteen articles to featured article class. These promotions, as well as a featured picture and a featured topic, earned me two coveted awards: the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Awards#WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves|WikiChevrons with Oak Leaves]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Awards#"Military historian of the Year"|Military Historian of the Year (2008)]]. Unfortunately, I burnt myself out and between February 2009 and September 2010 I embarked upon a hiatus.
 
This long wiki-break has allowed me to re-orient my interests. I moved on from my former hobby of [[military history]] to my profession, [[economics]]. I return to Wikipedia hoping to synthesize the two—focusing on the economics of the [[Austrian school]] of thought and Spanish military history. While planning to take it slow for the remainder of 2010, I hope that 2011 can be as fruitful for me as 2008—my objective: twenty-four featured articles. I also plan to partake more in the behind-the-scenes work of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history|Military History]]—especially peer reviews, good article reviews, and a-class reviews.
