Today I started my draft.
This is my introduction:
As Dr. Carl Smith writes, “Has the unregulated culture of the Internet made cyberspace a bloated refuge for work of questionable value that otherwise couldn't–and shouldn't–see the light of day? .... Is it possible, in short, to do “serious” history on the web?”, this question challenges the very nature of historical publication online. Prominent historical publications such as Trenches on the Web and Spartacus Educational have gained reputation due to their acceptance by the wider historical community, yet lesser known historians, or historians who do not work in a professional context struggle to gain recognition. One such historian is ‘rogue revisionist’ David Irving, who was shunned from the credible stream of historical publication after his failed libel case against Deborah Lipstadt and connections to the Holocaust denial movement.
It is 147 words that is 5.88% of my final product ... EXCITING!
I also talked to Mr Wright, he said the following things:
- I need a synopsis ... who knew! About 300 words which can act as an introduction of sorts
- That I need to follow this method: Irving's purpose, method, purpose, method
Am going to keep writing my draft now :)

Who says he's a 'rogue revisionist'?
Take your point about TotW but Spartacus Educational...doesn't that have an leftist agenda?
