Yo, trying to make a difference by sharing credible knowledge with the world. Thank you for visiting my page. Have a nice day.

Please feel free to mention if you would like to help with some articles here on talkpage or would like to discuss my edits.

Russian Authors

Rasul Hamzatov

• My Dagestan - I have reworked the article with information on other Wikipedias.
• I might explore other Hamzatov works and possibly translate those articles from Russian to Wikipedia too.

Ivan Turgenev

Currently I am translating/writing articles about Ivan Turgenev's works and life.

Written:

Short fiction

• Asya
• Faust

Needs to be translated:

Short fiction

• The Song of Triumphant Love (1881)
  • This also has a translated Wikisource entry that might be worth mentioning
  • The translator has also worked on some other Russian works, might be worth exploring too

• Ghosts
• Une fin

Plays

• Breakfast at the Chief's (1849/56) /Breakfast at the Marshal's

People in Turgenev's life

I think that some of these deserve articles of their own

• Varvara Zhitova
  • She is mentioned in the Mumu (short story) article and Asya article.
• Polina (Pelageya) Turgeneva
  • There is a photo of her (apparently) on Wikimedia but no article

Contributions to articles related to Hinduism

I have minor contributions to various articles related to Hinduism, mainly undoing the vandalism by Tamil nationalist info-terrorists.

However, I am also currently interested in the following topics:

• Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra#Practices
  • The various practices can each have articles of their own
• Nyasa (ritual)
  • Quite an important practice that is done before many rituals, but the article is a stub.
• Matrikas#Script characters
  • I think this particular part deserves its own article, but published research seems very limited.
• Shiva Sutras
  • This article can use some improvements

Other articles I might consider improving

• Asya
  • Italian article on Asya mentions a comparision to Evgenij Onegin from Aleksandr Puškin. Might want to consider researching this and see if it can be mentioned.
  • Sinzig, mentioned in the novella
    • The german article has a lot of information that can be used to improve it.
  • Leubsdorf, mentioned in the novella
    • Similar to Sinzig

• Codex on the Flight of Birds has some missing descriptions

Biography/Articles on people I have considered

• Miklos Csanyi, Hungarian director
  • Directed a movie on Asya

Lesser known topics I feel deserve articles of their own

• Egyptian love poems
• That one early "anime" based on Kobutori Jisan (It's called a "Manga" in the video itself)
