== About myself ==
I work as a [[business analyst]], but privately I'm interested in so-called [[humanities]], such as [[philosophy]], [[history]], [[linguistics]], [[sociology]], [[religion]], [[politics]], [[cuisine]], etc., and this are the areas where I try to contribute to Wikipedia, mostly in [[Poland]]-related areas. I also maintain the [[Portal:Poland|Poland Portal]] and try to answer questions about [[Poland]] and [[Central Europe]] at the [[WP:RD/H|Humanities]] and [[WP:RD/L|Language reference desks]]. &mdash; Kpalion<sup>[[User talk:Kpalion|(talk)]]</sup>
