Reginald Routhwick is the pen name of a Commonwealth of Dominica expatriate who contributes to Wikimedia as Slgrandson. Also known as Routhwick at Reddit, Miraheze, and Steemit/Hive.blog, and under his real-life initials across deviantART, FurAffinity, Inkbunny, IMDb, and elsewhere. Born in 1986, Routhwick is now based in Dover, Florida (after previously residing in his home suburb of Stock Farm, Roseau [until June 2005]; the Bronx of New York City [until August 2005]; and Waterbury, Connecticut [until January 2017]).

"Slgrandson"/"Routhwick" is among only a handful of Wikimedia members—and practically the only wiki aficionado—to hail from Dominica (out of a few dozen more from the Caribbean region). The "Slgrandson" alias honours one of his relatives through a contraction of the phrase "Sylvie Lewis' grandson" (the first two letters are her initials).

Routhwick runs the Constant Noble creative-venture label responsible for a conlang project called Tovasala, né Relformaide, as well as two forthcoming book projects (Unspooled and The Sevton Saga). Constant Noble also specialises in geofictional cartography, and (as Constitution Books) once dealt with public-domain reprints for the Amazon Kindle market during the early 2010s.

Today's snapshot[edit]

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.
