I edit for the English, Spanish and Hebrew Wikipedia primarily on the following topics:

• Texas
• Oaxaca
• Judaism

In some places I am known as: ניקולס

• I am also a file-mover here on the Commons. In the interest of neutrality, I choose not to exercise that privilege on files (other than my own) related to the Middle East or Palestine-Israel conflict.
