Hello, I am Applodion.

About me

edit

My particular interests include history, politics, religion, biology (especially evolution), and psychology. Of these topics, I am most proficient in regard to the first two, so these are the fields in which I mostly contribute on Wikipedia. My interest in human history is almost universal, though I mostly work on Middle Eastern, East Asian and African history articles on Wikipedia, as these topics are chronically underrepresented despite the great work of several dedicated Wikipedians.

I know what a daunting task it can be to write about Zhou dynasty history, but you did a great job with Zhou–Chu War and Rebellion of the Three Guards. You're a wonderful Wikipedian! I look forward to reading more of your contributions! Zanhe (talk) 04:03, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
