User:Deconstructhis

I am primarily interested in continuing to research and write articles on Wikipedia concerning the social and natural history of Huron County, North Middlesex and northern Lambton County, in Ontario Canada. I am particularly interested in the founding and development of the original small communities in these areas, especially those that have nearly disappeared or perhaps have already become actual ghost towns. I am also keen on helping to edit articles regarding North American native cultures of the eastern Great Lakes region and on religion as a topic in general, in particular those belief systems that are often labelled as being "controversial".

Some useful advice: WP:MASTODONS

Why is it that I have a sneaking suspicion that this particular vandal has no idea whatsoever how reverting vandalism actually works?[1]

Below are articles that I have either created myself or have added to in a significant way:

David Ramsay (Upper Canada)

Mount Carmel, Middlesex County, Ontario

Ashtar (extraterrestrial being)

John Melady

Maguire, Ontario

Ausable River (Ontario)

Hay Swamp

Picture of the day

John Rocque's maps of London were published in 1746. A French-born British surveyor and cartographer, John Rocque produced two maps of London and the surrounding area. The better known of these, depicted here, is a 24-sheet map of the City of London and the surrounding area, surveyed by Rocque and engraved by John Pine and titled A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark. Rocque combined two surveying techniques: he made a ground-level survey with a compass and a physical metal chain – the unit of length also being the chain. Compass bearings were taken of the lines measured. He also created a triangulation network over the entire area to be covered by taking readings from church towers and similar high places using a theodolite made by Jonathan Sisson (the inventor of the telescopic-sighted theodolite) to measure the observed angle between two other prominent locations. The process was repeated from point to point. This image depicts all 24 sheets of Rocque's map.Map credit: John Rocque and John Pine
