Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by fields of interest; Subjects titles between "K" to "L"
This page is dedicated to organization of Wikipedians by encyclopedic topics that they are knowledgeable about or specialize in. Feel free to add new categories and your name! It would be nice if you could add your specialization as well.
Please add yourself and categories in alphabetical order. The original page has grown so large that it has been broken up into smaller sections with their own separate subpages. This section is only for subjects that begin with K to L. If your subject begins with other alphabetic symbols, i.e. A through J, and M through Z, please go up to the Index and click onto your particular section. Then, add your subject (if new) and your user name to that particular page.
