I rarely contribute here, I am mostly a browser but I will occasionally make edits when I feel the need to. I mostly focus on the Arabic Wikipedia version, you can check my [[:w:ar:مستخدم:عباد ديرانية|user page]] there for further information, or take a look at my ”'[[Astronomical filter|sole contribution]]”’ to English Wikipedia. |

Username transliated is: Abbad Diraneyya.
I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2007 (officially with an account since 2009). I’m usually on Arabic Wikipedia, where I mostly contribute to featured content on astronomy, wildlife and history. I also do a great deal of organizational work in the ‘places’ where I live. I have been a co-founder of Wikimedia Levant, co-organizer of four versions of Wiki Loves Monuments in several Arab countries, vice director of WikiArabia 2016 event in Amman, and a board member of Wikimedia New York City. I also had the great pleasure of attending Wikimania six times.
