Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Namesnik, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! Liz Read! Talk! 17:58, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you for the greeting and invitation. True, I am not a novice editor (almost 15 years at Wikipedia). All difficulties are related to understanding the specifics of the English version of Wikipedia. --Namesnik (talk) 12:38, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Namesnik. Thank you for your work on Iron ochre. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

In English, this is a synonym for Ochre (all of them being iron compounds). While this might not be the case in Russian, for .en the page is best merged.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Ochers are a lot of minerals. Clays, lead ocher, even bismuth. The mineralogical dictionary (see sources) says that iron ocher is a separate trivial name for these minerals. That is why I have highlighted them in a separate list. I don't agree with merging pages. It seems to me that this impoverishes the encyclopedia. Iron ocher can exist separately. --Namesnik (talk) 14:28, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Nyet means Nyet

I just noticed your Ps-tag and couldn't resist to share this little piece of diplomatic assessment drafted by William Burns in February 2008: Nyet means Nyet. Gunnar (talk) 21:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

TY

TY for the cool articles on various ochres. Very neat! Best, jengod (talk) 00:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you so much for your kind word. Moreover, this is very rare here!I myself always thank you if I see something good. But the opposite happens only on major holidays. --Namesnik (talk) 09:35, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
