User:Maldezir/sandbox

Maldezir is a Wikipedian dedicated to improving general articles about the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. Dedicated to the decolonization of Medieval Studies and provincializing the history of Europe, Maldezir is focused on filling lacunae around the Iberian Peninsula on Wikipedia. This Wikipedian takes their name from the 13th century Cantigas de escárnio e maldezir, a collection of songs of vituperation and scorn. Why? Because Medieval people's lived experiences are too often flattened by historiography and Maldezir seeks to pique interest in under-studied literature.
