I dabble in pretty much anything that catches my eye. My main areas of focus are Judaism and Jewry, Morocco, Israel, Cuba, Albania, electronic music and hip-hop, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, fashion and design, New York, birds, film, Brutalist architecture, and flamenco. I'm also keen on West Africa, an area that lacks sufficient coverage on Wikipedia in both the quality and quantity of articles compared to other regions worldwide.

Although I may not personally listen to Moroccan rap, I’m proud to have preserved the articles on Moroccan rappers Muslim and Lbenj from deletion (see here and here). It’s disheartening to consider how many articles on non-Western artists—despite their major performances, awards, and prominence in their own countries—might have been deleted. While many of these articles are indeed poorly written, I’m committed to improving as many as I can (see Category:Moroccan rappers). Greater care is needed when nominating such pages for deletion.
The electronic and Latin music genres are also underrepresented on Wikipedia. I am actively working on creating and expanding articles covering some of the genres' notable musicians. Please feel free to propose any suggestions or request any help with any electronic or Latin music-related articles.
Wikipedia:Bilorv's Challenges
Get an article to good article status with fewer than 50 edits in its page history at the time the bot adds the good article icon.

I am acquainted with Zahra Joya, Haim Bitan, Sonia Terrab, Abdelkrim Derkaoui, Sofia Alaoui, Robi Damelin, Bachir Skiredj, Kapil Talwalkar, Angela Faustina, Zouheir El Graoui and David Govrin. I have created articles for all of these individuals without their influence and without receiving or expecting any compensation in return. David Govrin and Sonia Terrab both contacted me regarding the articles after they had been created, requesting certain edits (I did not make these edits). Angela Faustina asked me to add photos of her artwork to the article. I tried doing so, but was oblivious to copyright guidelines at the time, and they were deleted. I am also acquainted with ABG Neal, who I attempted to create an article for without receiving or expecting any compensation in return, or without any influence from him. I am acquainted with Jeremy Rudd and attempted to create an article about him when in my earlier days when I was less familiar with notability guidelines. I was offered compensation for this. In bad faith and in a move I deeply regret, I recreated the article after it was deleted.

The subject matter is definitely encyclopedic, and having well-written and well-sourced up-to-date pages would be very useful. Please help out!
