Hello, and welcome to my user page! I'm Eskinder Kassu, an active contributor to Wikipedia with a strong focus on promoting Ethiopian content and languages. Since 2009, I have worked to enrich Wikipedia with articles that highlight Ethiopian history, culture, and significant figures. My passion lies in making knowledge accessible in local languages, particularly Amharic, Oromo, Tigrigna, Somali and Afar to ensure broader reach within the Ethiopian community.

As a founding member of the non-profit Wikimedia Ethiopia[1] registered in Ethiopia and Wikimedia User Group Ethiopia, I am committed to fostering the growth of free knowledge in Ethiopia and engaging with fellow contributors to expand the representation of Ethiopian topics on Wikipedia. I actively support new editors in learning Wikipedia's guidelines and contributing effectively to the platform.

Beyond article creation and editing, I advocate for the increased presence of underrepresented languages and local content on Wikimedia projects, working to ensure that Ethiopian knowledge is well-documented, accurate, and available for all.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to collaborate or need assistance with Ethiopia-related content on Wikipedia!
