My primary focuses include:

  • Central and South Asian Islamic history, particularly in terms of rendering existing and new articles into NPOV
  • Improving sourcing and academic accuracy of Indian articles on castes and social groups; the subject is woefully prone to puffery and pseudo-history
  • Military history, particularly translating articles on conflicts not generally covered in English-language publications
  • Militancy and paramilitary organisations, to include sectarian and revolutionary groups
  • Folk music topics, particularly bagpipes and improving and organising coverage of highly localised musical traditions
