About me
Hello! I'm a contributor based in Romania, active on Wikipedia and related Wikimedia projects such as Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and OpenStreetMap. I focus on topics related to **geography**, **toponyms**, and **urban neighborhoods**, especially around Cluj-Napoca and Transylvania.
I aim to improve documentation of minor places, rivers, and underrepresented local features — making local knowledge more accessible to a global audience, and also the local audience in Romanian and Hungarian.
I inhabit the obscure niches which are mostly forgotten.
Areas of interest
- Hungarian and Romanian place name etymologies
- Neighborhoods and districts of Cluj-Napoca
- Urban transformation, trails, and forgotten local histories
- Minor rivers and urban streams in Romania (e.g. Becaș)
