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
[edit]- 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:
- Astridah Banda (broadcaster and nun)
- Thomas Dambo (artist)
- Mech Dara (reporter)
- Wally Dion (artist)
- Kathleen Kim (actress & puppeteer)
- Samantha Martin (businesswoman)
