Hello, for various professional reasons I'm using a pseudonym. My relevant interests are history (especially 20th century Middle-Eastern and European including Holocaust), and to a lesser extent political, religious and cultural issues. I do not have a personal connection, either by family, descent, or religion, with the people and places I write about in Wikipedia.
I have been a Wikipedia administrator since April 22, 2004.

A test account I have
Zero0001 (talk · contribs) is used by me to test aspects of Wikipedia's protection/authorization system that I cannot test from an administrator's account.
Some tasks that need doing
- Jenin — the historical background, especially ancient identifications, is very poor. TellJenin03.pdf is a good guide.
- Jewish_views_on_marriage#Ages_of_marriage — this does not very well correspond to the historical facts, especially for the Middle East and North Africa.
- Abdullah_I_of_Jordan#Assassination — details are confused and sources are poor. Wilson and Anu Nowar are better sources.
- 1099 Jerusalem massacre in several articles misquotes sources
- Missing history in Jewish National Fund, incl influence of Prussian Settlement Commission
- The story of Shatta
- Haavara Agreement elides the boycott movement even though it features prominently in all the sources.
- Check if the doctored quotation from the Village Statistics in Walid Khalidi appears in Brawer's review.
- The origin story at The Protocols of the Elders of Zion no longer has the discredited version from the Berne trial, but that version has now disappeared entirely. Write a section explaining the history of the origin story. Levy has a good summary.
- Berne Trial needs more from Hagemeister.
- Levy's assessment of the actual significance of the Protocols is worthy of reporting.
- Fix Sami al-Jundi "quotation" from proper source.
- Finish the Buraq Mosque article already.
