User:Wilhelm Meis



Hi, I'm Wilhelm Meis, a medieval history scholar and reenactor with many years' experience in the Society for Creative Anachronism and several years' experience editing English-language Wikipedia. If you have any questions about medieval history or society, or need help with wiki editing, don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page! I may not get back to you right away, but I plan on checking in here at least once a week, if not more frequently, and I will be writing many new articles where you currently see red links. I have specific knowledge of a wide range of medieval topics including arms and armour, tournament culture, heraldry, textiles and fashion, shoe making, wood joinery, medieval Icelandic society, history of the Holy Roman Empire, Scandinavian heraldry, medieval games and various other topics, but as a true scholar, all of my knowledge is subject to revision. If you find something wrong or suspicious in one of my articles, challenge it! I will be happy to look it up and dig a little deeper.
