Revision as of 10:55, 14 June 2005 by Leonig Mig (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Leonig Mig is an excellent pseudonym for someone to use online. It is such a stupid name nobody would have it for real, so it allows google.com to keep track of everything written. I starting using wikipedia at university to get general overviews on subjects when starting specific bits of research. After a time I found myself editing inaccuracies, but more frequently improving on little bits of style here and there. I have written a series of articles about the area in which I grew up.
Much of these articles remains, however user Pigsonthewing systematically has downgraded much of my writing to his own prosiac style. For example I wrote "Hewell Grange is the ancient country seat of the Earl of Plymouth", which he just rendered "Hewell Grange was a house belonging to the Earl of Plymouth". I wrote "Longbridge is an illustrious motor works..." he rendered "Longbridge is a car factory...". He has 'copy-edited' pretty much every sentence I have contributed in this way.
I intend to publish more of my local history research over the next few months, however I have come to realise that Misplaced Pages is not the right platform for this project. My intention in writing about north Worcestershire is to do so in an engaging way- to tell a story and fuel a little passion and enthusiasm. This leads to the probelem, which is twofold.
Firstly the thing *is* an encyclopedia, so in certain places some of the things I want to do conflict with the medium in which thay are based. Secondly, as I have found on so many internet sites, people are obsessively insulting and destructive. Likely many of these 'trolls' have borderline personality disorders or aspergers syndrome. They don't understand civil human interaction, so for them, the internet is a place where they thrive.
I do intend to keep my work licenced under the Creative Commons, and continue to write about the local area, its origins and development- I shall post here when I have got the site up and running.
