About me
- A Romanian born in Cluj-Napoca, who spent a long time in Boston and currently living in Basel
- I love history and archaeology, especially related to Dacians and Romans, the founding nations of Romania
- Other interests include space exploration and astronomy
- Created WikiProject Dacia, WikiProiectul Dacia {{in lang|ro}} and Commons:WikiProject Dacia to better organize the content related to ancient Dacia
- Maintaining WikiProject Romania and created Commons:WikiProject Romania
- I despise deletionists and people who spend their time, energy and effort to delete and destroy others work (often without any attempt to communicate), instead of creating and collaborating. They are usually the same people who attempt to force their views down the throats of others.
- Striving to keep neutrality in my work and judgment, and above all an open mind.
Current projects
I am a member of many projects, but currently focusing most of my efforts on:
- WikiProject Dacia - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Dacia and Dacians. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Feel free to join!
- WikiProject Romania - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Romania. Maybe you are interested
