[edit] About myself

I work as a business analyst, but privately, I'm interested in the so-called Humanities, such as Philosophy, History, Linguistics, Sociology, Religion, Politics, Judaica, etc. and this the area where I try to contribute to Wikipedia. I currently focus on the topic of Polish heraldry and Polish national symbols. I also try to answer Poland and Central Europe-related questions at the Humanities and Language reference desks. — Kpalion^(talk) 20:54, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
