Ferrier
Sorry my French is not good enough. However looking at the page your cited, I would guess that ferrier is an ironworks, marled by heaps of slag. Clinker is not a terms normally used for waste from the iron industry. Cinders is used for bloomery (or other) slag with enough iron in it to be worth resmelting. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you object is to do a translation of a French article, I suggest you do it in your sandbox and tell me when it is done. I will then look at it to see if it is using appropriate terms.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:55, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Goodlord, that's exactly what I need. Brilliant. Thank you VERY MUCH. I'll need a few days, something just popped up which needs solving then I come back to this. Have a good day, and thanks again.Basicdesign (talk) 06:50, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * From what you gave me, I found this : Bloomery, which looks just the job. Some people in Tannerre-en-Puisaye have made an oven (edit: oops, it's called a furnace) that looks vey much like the one showed in that article, and it seems that many terms used there are the ones I need for that trnslation. Yeppeee! Thanks again. Talk to you again soon. Basicdesign (talk) 07:00, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

8889
Hi Basicdesign. I see from a post on yours on another PDU that you are familiar with botanists databases. What would "8889" be a reference to here and here, pg 35?. Correia was my father, who worked as botanist in Angola, Namibia and South Africa. Any help will be welcome. Thanks, regards Rui &#39;&#39;Gabriel&#39;&#39; Correia (talk) 13:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi there, looks like the collector's number, from what is said on this page of the jstor site: http://about.jstor.org/plants-general-support ("Glossary of Metadata Terms" used in the site's descriptive sheets, see "collector"). Although I'm wondering how that collector's number works, coz if you look here: http://plants.jstor.org/search?personName=8889 (page reached by clicking the 8889 on the page you give) there are many collectors with the same number. So your best bet for further info is to ask directly to the jstor pple (see "contact us" at the bottom of just about any page of their site). Good luck. Basicdesign (talk) 11:03, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Basicdesign. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Basicdesign~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:24, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

A page you started (El Maipes necropolis, Agaete) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating El Maipes necropolis, Agaete, Basicdesign!

Wikipedia editor Airplaneman just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"Looks like a cool place, thanks for writing an article about it! I'm going to move it to the title El Maipes Necropolis as per naming conventions. I'm also curious about the capitalization of 'necropolis'. A lot of the sources that are in the article capitalize that word, as were a lot of the sources I saw when I did a quick Google search. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers, Airplaneman  ✈  08:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)"

Happy New Year
Thanks very much - and to you as well.

Regarding your request: I'd be happy to take a look at the article when I have a chance. Probably won't be before tonight, at the earliest, but I'll see what I can do. I've cast a quick eye over the French article and agree that it's definitely something we should have in English. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 16:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks much, for the good wishes and for loking into that. Sorry I did not answer earlier, it's logging time down here, coming back home a total wreck not even the courage to turn PC on. Day off today, hurray for mechanic trouble (for once)!! You look like a busy man too. If there are no news from you on that ferrier article when the logging is done, I'll come back to you. Have a good day meanwhile. Basicdesign (talk) 07:57, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Apologies for letting this fall off my radar - I've had some computer troubles this weekend, and it slipped my mind in the meanwhile. I'll try to sort it out shortly. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:31, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm having a bit of a brain fart at the moment and can't find the link to the page to restore - could you point me to it, please? Sorry - I can't for the life of me find the link to it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:38, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry. It was in there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Basicdesign/sandbox. Thanks again for your effort. Basicdesign (talk) 17:46, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: I just changed the link to my sandbox where the ferrier article was, sorry - got the first one mixed-up with the French side... This is the proper link. Apologies and thanks... 88.219.191.56 (talk) 06:27, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't find it in the history of your English sandbox, for some reason. Regardless...if you created it there you don't need my help to take it to article space - you can just go into the history, grab the revision, and upload it. Nothing for me to undelete.


 * Now, if it's the one in the French sandbox, I can't undelete that because I don't have admin rights on the French Wikipedia. Sorry. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Was the English sandbox alright. I tried finding it with some indications from the one who deleted it (and who seems to have forgotten about his part in that), can't. So let's forget about it, am gonna translate it again from scratch: looks like it'll be far quicker. Thank you very much for your attempts at helping me on it anyway, much appreciated. Have a good day! Basicdesign (talk) 07:37, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Looks good, on cursory glance - I'll take a broader look in another day or so. (Sorry...been busy as hell, and my focus is wavering whenever I get home.) Personal preference is to italicize ferrier wherever it's used, as it's a borrowed word from French, but I'm a bit old-fashioned on the subject. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:20, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No hurry, let's be real there: it's been waiting for several years, so what for a few days. Wish you to find focus again though, being loose is (usually) a pain in de fundament in everyday life.
 * Glad you concur wth me on that foreign words must be in italics. French is French, English is English, Venutian is Venutian a.s.o.; sticking to that is about preserving each one's richness and not having it diluted in unpalatable mix-ups that mean nothing else than lack of focus, precisely. I'd put all French words in italics, if someone doesn't like it they can spend some time removing the italics et grand bien leur fasse. Have a good day.

 * I wish it was... Never mind, am half-way through retranslating it. Thanks. Basicdesign (talk) 13:23, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Ferrier
I have been through and copy-edited the article. I hope I have not changed the meaning, which was not my intention. I have hardly changed "milk slag", where I suspect the English term is tap slag. I note you propose to create categories: I would discourage you from creating new categories of which this article will be the -only content; also millennium categories, which are unnecessary, as it is not necessary to have a parent for centuries: we will never have more than 40 centuries in most categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:37, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for the input. On categories: just edited the lot, no new categs. On the French bits I had left behind : I knew there was at least one spot of it but couldn't find it. Your translation was near-ok, just one change of meaning and I kept it coz it fits - just added beside it the bit that had disappeared with your edit. Ok for new title if you think that's better; I too prefer 'ancient' to 'antique', feels more alive, less museum-y, lol. Do you think it can go on as article as it is now? (eager to get this out of the way, been going on for several YEARS!!!) Basicdesign (talk) 08:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Folkewall


The article Folkewall has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Lacks notability and reliable sources. The website holon.se in the refs is about dogs, not walls. The only references to 'folkewall' I can find on the web are to wikis and self published site. Nothing that indicates notability."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
