Wikipedia editing

I love languages and often translate Wikipedia articles into Ukrainian from English, French, Spanish, Italian or German.

I edit and create articles about inspiring women, music, technology, startups, movies, books, authors and mental health. I’m especially interested in WikiWomen and #WomenInRed projects.
