Active in the following areas: WikiProject Islam, Biographies, Military History/Warfare/Technology, Pakistan (among others less active in.) If you look at my recent contributions to this featured article, I created a new category and added more than 10 scholarly sources, making it one of the best sourced categories on the featured article. The article I created Ideas of Ghulam Ahmed Pervez is also very well sources for a new article, with over 30 citations.
