About me
I was born in the USSR in 1980 and I lived in Israel since 1991. I love music and language.
My work
I've been editing Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wiktionary and Wikibooks in Hebrew, English, Russian, Catalan and other languages since 2005 using the username Amire80, which I still use most of the time for personal volunteer editing.
Over the years I cared more and more about languages issues—fonts, bidirectional text, language-related templates, translation, etc. I reported many bugs about them, tested language support of new features, helped Wikipedias in new languages to start, etc. I was involved in the production of Wikimania 2011 in Haifa. In October 2011 I became a contractor in the Foundation to work on improving the support for various languages in Wikimedia projects.
