I am a friend to truth, and foe to wrong. I do not wish the strong to oppress the weak, nor the weak to overpower the strong. I seek what is right. I am no friend to those who follow lies.
My real name is Mohammad. I am Iranian, born and raised in Iran, and currently living in Hamburg, Germany.
I studied History at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, completed my MA in Ancient Iranian History at University of Tehran, and subsequently earned a second MA in Manuscript Cultures at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC), University of Hamburg, where I am currently continuing my academic work.
Outside of academic and Wikimedia activities, I enjoy watching films and traveling. I also have a professional interest in beer culture and am currently writing a book in Persian on the cultural history and practices of beer consumption.
My work
I have been contributing to Wikimedia projects since 2008, with more sustained and focused activity beginning in 2010. My work has primarily centered on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikisource. I am an administrator on Persian and Tajik Wikipedia, and I also hold administrative access on Persian Wikisource. I edit under the username Darafsh, inspired by the legendary Derafsh Kaviani.
