Hello. I mostly edit articles about Ukraine, especially in the fields of geography, architecture, intangible cultural heritage, history, tourism, nature, and metro. Although some of the topics may seem obscure, I see the creation/expansion of such articles on English Wikipedia as a way to popularize them globally.
