My primary focuses include:

  • Folk music topics, particularly bagpipes and improving and organising coverage of highly localised musical traditions
  • Central and South Asian Islamic history, particularly in terms of rendering existing and new articles into NPOV
  • Improving sourcing and academic accuracy of Indian articles on castes and social groups; the subject is woefully prone to puffery and pseudo-history
  • Military history, particularly translating articles on conflicts not generally covered in English-language publications
  • Militancy and paramilitary organisations, to include sectarian and revolutionary groups

US Senate new gavel.jpg To show appreciation of your many additions to the currently labeled List of members of the United States Congress killed or wounded in office‎, I present you with the Senate gavel... just don't tell the senate I gave it to you.

Now get back in there and make it even better!

For translating so many articles from Russian, I'd like to give you this ;-) Pattont/c 20:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Updated DYK query On 29 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Jewish American military history, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that more than 500,000 Jewish Americans served in the United States armed services during World War II (one soldier's grave pictured), and roughly 52,000 received military awards? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
