[edit] Contributions

My primary interests are in linguistics and mathematics; I'm here doing a bit of work on various pages related to historical interactions between the Middle East/Central Asia and China. I'm a relative latecomer to wiki; just started using it a few months ago.

• Dungan language
• Chinese in Israel
• Kouang-Tchéou-Wan, the French Colonial Empire's version of Hong Kong
• Zainichi Korean#Repatriation to Korea (may split to its own article; see ja:帰国事業)

[edit] Created or destubbed

* indicates articles saved from some deletion process (WP:CSD, WP:PROD, WP:AFD). I wouldn't really call myself an inclusionist, I just hang around Category:Candidates for speedy deletion because plenty of times, stuff gets listed there simply because it doesn't have much coverage in English; I like the challenge of trying to finding sources for stuff in languages I don't read very well.
