Hi!

This is my user page I guess. Thanks for dropping by!

Although I will edit any pages I come across that look interesting, I am particularly inclined towards pages related to marginalized and underrepresented groups (LGBT, indigenous, non-Western, non-white, disabled, etc).

Ongoing projects

• Translating some pages from Spanish Wikipedia - specifically, for musicals missing from English Wikipedia (see: Musicals (Spanish Wiki); to translate: Acompáñame, Azabache, El gran soñador, Escuela de calor, Las mil y una noches, Marta tiene un marcapasos, Otelo (musical), Quisiera ser)
  • If I get through the musicals, I might also try to add some plays missing from English Wikipedia
• Peacemakers; writing articles on peace activists and organizations. Articles are marked with .
• Other potential subjects:
  • Ahmed Abu Artema (activist)
  • Astridah Banda (broadcaster and nun)
  • Thomas Dambo (artist)
  • Mech Dara (reporter)
  • Wally Dion (artist)
  • Rula Hardal (activist & lawyer)
  • Nava Hefetz (rabbi & activist)
  • Kathleen Kim (actress & puppeteer)
  • Samantha Martin (businesswoman)
  • May Pundak (activist)
  • Jules Rabin (activist & baker)
