My method is simple: I collect articles from old atlases and books, study maps, and deliberately set aside modern sources. By placing chapters from dozens of works into separate articles — each connected with hyperlinks — I aim to make exploration and analysis easier. The goal is to reconstruct the '''point of view of a person living in the late 1600s'''. I hope this work will be useful for your own historical inquiries. Support for donations will be available soon [mailto:amik.mtg@gmail.com Mail for cooperation]— your contribution will be deeply appreciated. Famous pages: [[Tartaria]], [[Cathay]], [[The Turkish Empire]]... Also in work: [[Toponymy]], [[Money]], [[Rivers]] I’ve started adding maps and images—this work takes much of my after-work time. If you read an article and spot something unusual (for example, a description or even coordinates of a “lost” city), please check the primary '''Sources''' listed at the bottom of the page. If it holds up, locate a non-OCR PDF of the original text and high-resolution scans (or, if needed, acquire the map itself). And verify a dozen times before you pick up a shovel. 🙂 [[Special:AllPages|All Pages]] [[List of books to transfer]] Consult the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software. == Getting started == * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list] * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ] * [https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/ MediaWiki release mailing list] * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Localisation#Translation_resources Localise MediaWiki for your language] * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam Learn how to combat spam on your wiki] ar7kxgez1fdgk2s62d0a1jo0a7dvigp
