Why am I here?

I believe in the wikipedia project. It has greatly enriched my life, and increased my information processing capabilities.

I want to make the commons more complete, correct, reliable, accessible, and less biased.

What can I do?

  • I read and write fluently in Russian, English, and Hebrew (with a decent knowledge of Biblical Hebrew).
  • I can create high quality vector graphics, especially maps. If you find articles with poorly drawn but useful maps or illustrations, I'll be happy to redraw them so they're up to wikipedia's standards.

Some maps I've made
