Hello, it's me.
I'm an active editor "apparently trying" to improve history-related pages. My area of interest mostly lies in the Arab conquest of Persia and Spanish Golden Age. Currently, I'm involved in fixing grammatical errors such as subject-verb agreement errors, improper punctuation, incorrect spelling, inappropriate word choices and etc. I believe that every page must be well organized and paragraphs must adhere to strict unity in their ideas.
Feel free to leave me a message in my talk page. Thank you!

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
