Ah, the wilds of American art. Did you ever discover this little section from a decade ago. I recently re-discovered it and it darn near broke my heart again. Talk:Home Building Association Bank. Carptrash (talk) 03:17, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Either Auriel Bessemer was an early case of sex-change operations or just a bad assumption on my part, the sources don't mention gender and I thought, "Who'd name their son Auriel?" it turns out Mr. and Mrs> Bessemer would. Carptrash (talk) 16:19, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ser, HNY stands for Happy New Year. Thanks for... several things, including things that made you laugh. You should be banned for that, don'tchya knoaw, that's strictly anti-political whatever (thank god for that). But this is not why I'm taking your time for. Here is the matter:

Sometime in 2014 I wrote this fr:Ferrier antique de Tannerre-en-Puisaye and translated it in my User:Basicdesign/sandbox. The word "ferrier" does not exist in English. So I asked around for help for the title, see here and in the sandbox talk page (for the research in wiki, let alone the bulk of the research elsewhere). Didn't find a solution (because there is no word that fits the case, neither bloomery (the thing is on another level altogether, a bloomery does not use 75 acres of space), nor ironworks (which implies a forge), nor anything we could think of. Submitted the article anyway. It was refused, as per ongoing rules and contrary to good common sense. Still. It's a reasonably good article, refs are ok (there is a hell of a lot worse here on that aspect) and an interesting subject that goes well beyond local interest, you'll see all that if you can find it. As the largest ferrier in western Europe (along with another one somewhere further down south of France), it's a large part of the history of the area, of the region, of the country and of Europe. Plus we usually do a nice roast of wild boar + trimmings and dessert (and veggy option too, if asked for ahead of the day), all according to Antique or Middle Age recipies, each year in September for the French Heritage Days/wkend, if ever you come nearby :) I now live nearby said place, I can see for myself that it's got more and more UK visitors, a few Americans too manage to get lost enough to find it and some days the place is packed with German visitors, most of whom speak English too. An English article wouldn't come amiss.

So the article is well up to wkpdia standards of acceptation. Remains the fact that the word ferrier does not exist in English. So what?! As if that was the first happenstance for that sort of thing. Needless to say, no-one can find a translation for a word that exists in one language only. Believe me in that I have worked on it. The only way to "resolve the language issue", as per the reason given for refusal, is to accept the French word. And that's it. I don't see the pbm in that circumstance, and that's me saying it - who near-systematically translate foreign words in the local wiki language even against the so-self-called avant-garde opinion. I'd put the word in italics in the title to be clear about its foreign origin.

I am addressing you on the basis of this: Wikipedia:Petition against IAR abuse, "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it" (I've done plenty of that, seldom intentionally/knowingly). It says that maybe you can actually really act upon your thinking and not just apply rules. So could you please-pretty-please * find the thing, * have a look at it, * perhaps take the time to check that I'm not making up any of it, * not spoil the new year with the insane demand of finding what doesn't exist, and * accept the idea that like quite a few other articles here, the title may include a foreign word? Thank you very much for at least trying. And my best wishes again :) Basicdesign (talk) 15:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much, for the good wishes and for looking 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) 08:03, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wishing you a happy Wikibirthday and many more to come! I've seen your prolific presence in helping the encyclopedia function. Frankly, you're a role model for me-- if Wikipedia has such a thing. Cheers! Icebob99 (talk) 21:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing the Whitney Chadwick article. Your keen eye is appreciated. Netherzone (talk) 17:07, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
