Wikipedia interests [ edit ]
I am a long-time user of Wikipedia, and I want to start giving back. I have made tiny, anonymous edits, but now I am interested in becoming a more active user.
Due to my language skills, I am excited about doing some translations. Additionally, there are certain subjects I am interested in enough to want to watch and work on expanding, especially topics relating to Carpatho-Rusyn topics, like the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life, Uzhhorod .
