Spanish Civil War in US History
I like your additions to Spanish Civil War in US History. I feel the page should lose its title, and expand to feature other US/foreign interactions: the German American Bund and Italian/American pro-Fascist organizations, American Communism (insofar as they saw the Soviet Union as an inspiration), and the fears of American Jews about Nazi Germany. I also hope it should cover "the pure products of America," American Eugenics. ("The pure products of America/Go crazy [. . .] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pittsburgh Poet (talk • contribs)

 * Sure! I think that those could be good topics to cover. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 18:44, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!!!
Hello, I'm Aledownload, the creator of History of video games. I've been inactive for a long time, and I greatly enjoy the work you did on my book. I'm starting to contribute again, and I'd wish us a good cooperation on the subject. Thank you for your edits! --Aledownload (discuss • contribs) 09:08, 10 February 2021 (UTC).
 * No problem! Glad I could help! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 22:01, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Great work on the Link's Awakening 2019 guide!
Came here to say good job! 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 12:31, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Meant to do another playthrough, and figured I'd write a guide while I'm at it. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 20:43, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Feel free to help
Thank you for helping me on this big project. The Pokemon one especially is very tough because of what a mess it is 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 19:30, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem! I was actually thinking of doing an Sapphire walkthrough, so your undeletion work really cuts down on the work of doing a new one from scratch. Thank you for your hard work! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 00:51, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'm happy to help! :) (i would suggest splitting some of the Ruby/Sapphire sections from the "Petalburg Area" and "Rustboro Area" into their own sections). I could do that if you wanted me to. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 00:54, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I can do it, but I have to leave in a second since the building I'm in is about to close. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 00:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

I think I restored all the guides
A couple of images aside, I think I restored all of the guides that were once on wikibooks, and have been trying to make improvements to some of them. For instance, I added a pokemon infobox (adapted/edited from one originally on Wikipedia, where it was preserved for historical reference) to the Mankey article. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 18:40, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Cool! Thank you for your hard work! I'm working on polishing some of the old guides by fixing spelling errors, etc. After that hopefully I can expand them a bit too.--Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 18:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob, and thank you so much for helping me out 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 18:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

The titles of two of my wikibooks
Talking about the A Field Guide to Final Fantasy's Creatures and Monsters and A Traveler's Guide to the World of Pokémon. I wanted to be slightly creative with those two titles to allow others to "connect" with the wikibooks more easily (because field and travel guides are real). I got a Wikipedia admin to undelete page history for several of the Pokemon location articles already for the wikibook, and have been very happy about preserving them. The points of interest lists in the Pokémon town/city articles already make the articles connect with the wikibook title, so I like how it worked out well like that. It might take me a while to build up the Fire Emblem Warriors wikibook (gotta find some time & attention for it, but it's like how you're working on the Zelda Link's Awakening (Switch) guide :).) 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 18:49, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That's cool! I've never played Fire Emblem Warriors, but I've been meaning to play it eventually (A year or so at the earliest, given my backlog), perhaps with your guide for help! As for the Pokémon Travel Guide, I'm not sure if I've been doing a good job trying to bookify the Wikipedia articles, so let me know if I'm on the right track. I was a bit hesitant to link to other Wikibooks from there, but if you think it's fine then I'll do so. Thank you again for your hard work! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 18:53, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob, glad to help. Feel free to link to the Pokémon wikibook for the Pokémon articles. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 20:44, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ended up with surprise downtime, so I'm nearing the end of my first playthrough of this game. Will work on expanding the strategy guide more soon. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 06:59, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

I feel bad
I know that importing StrategyWiki is ok, but I said that after the Oracle of Seasons & Ages games that I'd stop because it looks like that Procyon and Prod were genuinely upset about the reuse of their guides in that they actually did have a real passion over the past 15 years of being a strategy guide resource. They have a Luigi's Mansion guide, listed at 100%, but I felt that if ever me, you, or someone else develops it, it's from scratch and/or with help from some Wikipedia content, and similar. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 17:26, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the work you do, and please don't feel bad for it. Given the license, there was no reason to think there would be that sort of reaction, but it's perhaps best we are gregarious with them to cultivate a relationship which is mutually beneficial. Truth be told, I was planning on working on a Luigi's Mansion guide myself since I still have a copy, and never fully beat it when it was a current game. I have an idea for a less conventional, more educational strategy guide for that subject too. Again, I'm genuinely thankful for the work you do, even a skeleton of a guide is easier to develop then a guide from scratch. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 17:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Was just thinking
Your real world image additions to the Pallet Town wikibook help add to the feel of the wikibook being travel guide (albeit obviously fictional.) Good job! 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 01:14, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I'm hoping that video game strategy guides on Wikibooks can be a bridge to real world knowledge acquisition as well. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 01:15, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No prob :) I just feel happy because sometimes art can't be put into words, but it's like you visually described what I was sort of thinking when envisioning the guide 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 01:22, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Thinking about it, I've contributed to Wikivoyage a bit, so maybe I subconsciously tried to replicate that sort of vibe. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 01:25, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Adminship?
I know you're more of an editor-based user, but do you think sysop will help you in your work? Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 21:45, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure It's a good idea right now to be honest. I'd like to help out long term, but typically I'm using public computers with sporadic access. Right now I have a loaner computer till late August, but I'm not sure I can reliably contribute in the long term (That's why I've been editing like mad recently, gotta use it while I can). I'll ping you once I get better situated. Thanks though! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VII/Walkthrough/Sleeping Forest and the Forgotten Capital
Thank you for getting that. I was almost worried (for some reason) that people would think it was me since I've been very dedicated to restoring content lately. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 12:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It's no problem! It's easy for some old content to slip past the net, so I wouldn't blame you there. I've been trying to update the old strategy guides in regards to Profanity, and I've caught most of the major swear words I think, though I haven't checked for common variations. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 12:46, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Good job
Once again, thank you for helping out a lot on the video game guides and even creating subject categories (e.g. Subject:Mario). I've been slightly busy in real life, so I haven't had much opportunity to help out (and I got a lot transwikied already). I'm hoping to get a couple of more Kirby pages transwikied later. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 13:37, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem! I'll be pretty busy in about a week or so, so I figured I'd get it knocked out now when I have some downtime. Thank you for your work on the Transwiki process! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 15:19, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. I hope it's ok to say this but I wonder if we can directly DM somehow (on Discord or similar for subjects/hobbies in general). I'm actually a social person by nature, and I think we get along very well. :) 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 15:56, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Certainly! I'll recover my old login details for Discord when I get some time. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 20:05, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * alright then! 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 21:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, had to dig up the old account info. My handle on dc is "UffDa#9054". I think it's case sensitive. Thanks! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 10:29, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay I sent a friend request to you on Discord 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 22:43, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Paranormal.
I looked at the paranormal pages but want to start new paranormal works such as wendigo, Bigfoot, etc. How would I go about this?? Thank you. 64.39.87.169 (discuss) 22:10, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Cryptids are an interesting subject! I think a book on folklore regarding such creatures and other verifiable material surrounding them would be welcome. As Cryptids are a subset of legendary creatures, which are a subset of mythology, It would most likely be shelved on Shelf:Cultural anthropology. I made a red link on the beginning of this reply, which would allow you to create such a bookI think. You may also want to consider making an account to attribute your changes to a username, rather then an IP. If you need help, please let me know! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 22:17, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * When you get a chance could you check my edits on cryptids? Thank you. 64.39.87.169 (discuss) 22:30, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks good! Just be sure to flesh it out some more. I went ahead and did some formatting work, but overall looks like the right path to be on. Again, let me know if you need any assistance! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 22:38, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

INTRODUCTION TO MODEL RAILWAYS
thanks very much for the edits to the book - the model railway picture is much better than my original. I love the link to the printable version too....
 * No problem! Glad I could help. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:15, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Removal of periods
I know that you made good illustrations but the captions are not sentences. That is why I removed the periods (.) from Learning anatomy/Kidney and Learning anatomy/Muscle. Next time you add illustrations, don't forget to not add periods.--Gffsgeys (discuss • contribs) 11:35, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. If you haven't already, consider making a manual of style for Learning anatomy. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:04, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

The noinclude tag
Hello Mbrickn, thanks for your edit of Suction Machines but I don't understand the benefit or value of noinclude there. Please explain or cite a reference. Thanks, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 02:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello ! I had forgotten myself so I went ahead and reverted some of my changes. The addition of the noinclude prevents an error when transcluding into a printable version. Just once produces a benign style error. Twice or more though, and it causes an error to be inserted into the text. (Copied below) Noinclude fixes the issue. Sorry, I should have left that in the changelog comment. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 03:29, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Fireboy and Watergirl in the Forest Temple/Printable version
Hi, I noticed that you have created a printable version for the book! Thank you very much! Just curios to know, is it possible for the title page to have a cover image? Thanks in advance, -Gifnk dlm 2020 If only Middle English Wikipedia could be saved (talk) 09:18, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem! I'm not sure if you mean an image for the live book or the printable version, but in both cases it should be possible! If you have an image uploaded, I can add it for you. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 11:13, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

 * I meant for the printable version. Just the image that is on the main page of the book. -Gifnk dlm 2020 If only Middle English Wikipedia could be saved (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Done! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 23:37, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Import Draft:List of Great Cave Offensive Treasures
Hi, mind importing this for Kirby Super Star article (under Kirby Super Star/The Great Cave Offensive/Treasure locations)? Looks like I overlooked this one during my brief admin tenure. 2005-Fan (discuss • contribs) 04:19, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Accidentally thanked a use
Hi, I have accidentally thanked a user. Is there something I should do? I understand the log is public. -Gifnk dlm 2020 If only Middle English Wikipedia could be saved (talk) 20:11, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure if there is a way to undo thanks on Wikimedia projects. You might try asking at Reading room/Technical Assistance for a better answer. In the short term, the button is quite close to the undo button, so I don't think anyone will blame you for clicking it. If you vehmanantly disagree with the content you thanked, you may consider noting it on your user page. For example, I maintain some subpages on my userpage containing errata, and other project adjacent notes. Perhaps such a list with links to the change in particular would be helpful to you should you wish to disavow a thanks (IE: Thanked a vandal instead of undo)? --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 23:52, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I thanked a vandal by accident but after the edit was ondone. I edit on a tablet on mobile mode and when I was looking what the user did I accidentally pressed “thank”. I’m not sure if it’s notable enough for being on my usepage though. -Gifnk dlm 2020 If only Middle English Wikipedia could be saved (talk) 07:09, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

The Story of Rhodesia/Printable version
Hi, I see that you created a printable version of this book. Thank you very much! However, the book is divided not only to chapters but also to parts. Is it possible to make this show up in the printable version as well? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Merry Christmas 🎄(talk) 18:46, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yup, I can do that! I'll take a look soon. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 21:42, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I just took a look. On one hand, I can do that, but on the other it will be slightly harder to maintain. Is that alright with you? --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 04:44, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

 * What do you mean? Harder to maintain in what meaning? Thanks in advance, -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 09:28, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Currently the book uses Template:Printable to autogenerate a printable version dynamically based on the table of contents in the main book. This reduces maintenance requirements, because as chapters are added or removed (For example, during a merger), it is able to compensate on the fly without editor intervention. I can make a manual printed book with the headings included, but it will need to be updated when someone finishes the final chapters of the book. --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 01:54, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and made it as an alternate version, which you can see here The Story of Rhodesia/Printable version (Alternate). Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 02:10, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much! I think it’s good. Also, last year, I have finished the book about LOLGraphics. How do I make a static pdf version? Do I just go to the printable version, press download as pdf and upload the pdf to commons? Is it possible to make it so that the table of contents will appear in the pdf? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 08:26, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That should work, however I've never made a PDF printable version for wikibooks before. I would probably just typeset it using Scribus if I wanted to make it fancy. As per the TOC issue, it appears others have encountered this before. There is documentation available on how it has traditionally been done at Help:Print versions. Hope this helps! --Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 13:38, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I have made a pdf version and uploaded to commons. I think because the book is short it’s ok also without a TOC. One last question: is it eligible to become a featured book? Thanks in advance. P.S. I think you can add your username to authors and contributors in the book that this thread was originally about. -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 14:40, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you're referring to The Story of Rhodesia or Programming in LOLGraphics 3.4
 * The Story of Rhodesia almost certainly wouldn't be eligible since Part 4 is essentially at 0% completion. (Fails criteria 4 and 6) Historically however this was not an issue, so perhaps it is possible. (See Featured books/Nominations/Addition/Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book)
 * I don't see anything immediately disqualifying Programming in LOLGraphics 3.4 from achieving 3.4 status, aside from one potential snag. (Your photo of a cheeseburger used in your examples is freely licenced or one you took yourself, yes?)
 * Good books has more information on what counts as a featured book. You can nominate a book to be featured at Featured books/Nominations. However I am not sure that it has a great chance of success at this current time, in part due to it's unorthodox style (Not necessarily bad or disqualifying, but it is different from other featured books), and more importantly due to a lack of community input in such matters as of late preventing adequate consensus from being reached. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 15:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the reply! I meant the book about LOLGraphics. The picture of the cheeseburger is a feels licensed image from Wikipedia commons, and I have given credit in the app. I didn’t know you can nominate your own creation. Also how do books get the attention needed for a consensus to be reached? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 15:08, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
 * So is the use of the picture fine? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 15:41, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * As long as it's attributed correctly according to it's licence that should be fine! Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 02:14, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Is Salute, Jonathan! status 100%?
Hi, I see that you have created Shelf:Hello, Jonathan!. That’s a very interesting idea and I like it. I have noticed there’s in this shelf a book that claims to be 100% complete however has many red links. Also the printable version just copied the source code of all the chapters so if someone edits one he will have to do the same edit twice. I think embedding pages will work better like what you created about Rhodesia. Thanks in advance, -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

 * I created this shelf simply to better keep track of all the variants of Salute, Jonathan being made to aid readers looking for such books (As I did with many other subjects), as well as to keep books in the parent shelf more organized.
 * A separate author recently marked it as complete, so I would ask them, but it appears their reasoning was that the primary part of the book was complete. (All chapters done), despite a number of auxiliary pages being redlinks. Defining status is often more of an art then a science: Is it enough for the primary text to be complete, or should appendix materials also be complete too? For some books, the literal interpretation of 100% works, for others it can never be "100%" complete under a strict definition. Since the authors are still active, and the ranking is potentially correct (Blatantly wrong status can be changed more freely), I would recommend reaching out to the authors of the book to discuss the status ranking of the book.
 * As for the printable version, I'd have to look at that, but it appears to be very large. Unfortunately transclusion can often fail on very large works, though I haven't investigated the technical reason for why. I can give it a shot of course, but the current example may be the best possible solution for the issue. (Despite being very imperfect) Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 08:43, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I managed to give a printable version a shot, and it works. You can see it at Salute, Jonathan!/Printable version. Requested comment from authors to see if this is suitable for reader use at Talk:Salute, Jonathan!. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 08:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

 * OK I see. Thank you very much! It doesn’t appear to me as if this book is one that can never be complete if you use the strict definition, but since it’s obvious the primary part is done maybe it should be status 75%? I understand though that the author might have thought that people will only read books with status 100% so wrote it like that when all the chapters were completed. -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Dag, Jonathan!
Hi, I have noticed that this book is in Shelf:Constructed Languages, despite being in Negerhollands which is not a constructed language. Shouldn’t it be in Shelf:Languages of North America? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 08:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

 * You're right - It shouldn't be under that shelf. Since it's under that shelf via transclusion, the best thing to do would be to move the Hello, Johnathan parent shelf to an appropriate shelf, then add Dag, Jonathan to the Languages of North America shelf, and every other book in the Hello, Johnathan shelf to the constructed languages shelf. I'll get on this soon. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:36, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much! Btw, is the appropriate shelf Department:Languages? -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 08:11, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I took care of it. Since it's a work of fiction (Albeit one intended for instructional use and thus suitable for Wikibooks in spirit at least), I ended up putting the shelf under literature, and putting the individual books under the relevant language shelves. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 22:47, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Also works! Thank you very much! -Gifnk dlm 2020 Happy New Year 🎄❄⛄🎇 (talk) 09:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Apologies about GFDL remarks
Hi there,

Sorry I think I caused confusion with my comment at Special:Diff/4030554, which wasn't altogether correct. Looking at GFDL single license content can only be dual-licensed if that content was added before November 1, 2008, unless it came from a public wiki.

In other words, single-licensed GFDL content, not from a public wiki, could only be added to Wikibooks before November 1, 2008.

Both Hindi Lessons and How Language Works appear to have been imported before this cut-off date. So I was wrong to suggest this might not be correct.

Apologies -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 21:53, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Problem with Minecraft resource gathering
Hi, The book users warning templates which don’t show up in the pdf version. What to do? Maybe put it as text with am warning icon as an image and a background to simulate the warning template, sort of like the Christmas greeting I left you & other users as well. - 📜 GIFNK 📖 DLM💻MMXX🏰 (TALK🎙 | CONTRIBS) 19:17, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Stardew Valley progress
I noticed that there hasn't been progress on the Stardew Valley book in a while. I was thinking about starting work on it, but since you seem to to be the main contributor, it seemed like a good idea to let you know before starting. It's one of my favorite games and I've collected extensive notes, and I've written guides for other games, though none published here. RDBury (discuss • contribs) 09:22, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello! By all means, please go ahead! :D I love Stardew Valley, but my real life schedule got a lot busier since I started that book, so I'd not gotten a chance to work on it as much as I'd like. Thanks for asking! Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 17:19, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

{ {BOOKNAME}}
So what is the advantage of over ? Thanks. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 07:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 * It basically lets you use a relative link instead of a hard-coded one - giving an advantage only should the namespace of the book ever change. To be honest, I mostly do it out of habit because it typically saves some space and makes the wikitext more readable in the source editor, but here it actually uses some extra space so that advantage is reversed. If you think it would be easier for the contributors of the book to have the original style, I'd be happy to change it back - Contributors and their happiness are more important then hypothetical benefits. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 08:28, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * It is slightly more work for me to type, but if a book of 600+ pages gets renamed, wow, my work would be set out for me. Sure, if you want to use it on the other pages, I won't mind. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 09:06, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I should emphasize that I really don't think that's too likely in this specific case. I've only encountered it a few times, and there are other ways of doing automated renames. So please don't worry about it too much. :) Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 09:26, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Book idea: Recording and Publishing a Let's Play
First, yes, Stardew Valley is still in progress, and there's more that I wanted to add. But I was thinking it would also be nice to do "How To" on publishing a Let's Play video. I was planning to do a Let's Play for Stardew valley, and thought it might be useful to document my process here. You seem to be interested in video games in general, so I wanted to hear your thoughts on the idea. RDBury (discuss • contribs) 15:09, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

PS. I know there's already a book on Video Production, but that seems to focus on actual video, not recording games. --RDBury (discuss • contribs) 15:17, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. I'm for it! :)
 * It's been over a decade since I last did a let's play, but I'd be happy to help when I can. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 19:00, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm no expert, and I could definitely use help from people who use different software/devices; there is no one-size-fits-all for it in my limited experience. --RDBury (discuss • contribs) 14:39, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Certainly. I'll see if I can find the ol' tv tuner and mess around with it again. :) Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 18:15, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I created Gaming Video: A How To Guide as a start. I'm not totally happy with the name, but it'll do until someone things of a better one. I've only used OBS, but I suppose a 'tv tuner' is a recording device? There are so many possible setups, and I can only speak to the one I have experience with. RDBury (discuss • contribs) 19:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fine! I've used OBS before, but I'm hardly familiar with it.
 * A TV Tuner is a piece of hardware that allows your computer to receive video input, which can then be streamed into a video player application and or have your footage streamed to a storage disk. While they were really intended for recording TV shows or digitizing home VHS tapes, you could also use them to capture footage from most home game consoles via RF or composite video signal. (Though depending on the setup, latency could be problematic sometimes) Think of it as an older version of an HDMI capture card haha. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 03:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Pokémon
In the pokémon.. pokèmon pages, the infoboxes and type matchups and all of that are manualy written down, so small changes would be impossible. Shouldnt a template be used? And a module can also be used to automate certain tasks (so, tell it it's type is normal, and comes back with no resistances and a weakness to fighting), but still be possible to choose text manually instead, like in Template:Minecraft/mob and Module:Minecraft/Mob (hint: the spawning argument changes for mobs that deal damage). L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 07:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC) Arrgh! I gota fix Minecraft/Wolf, it deals damage, but does not spawn in the dark!
 * Or it was like that anyway (or isn't like that on some pages). Still, I can make a module that gives weaknesses and resistances automatically. It will save a lot of time. Though I may need help with the type matchups on older games, where I am unfamiliar. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 07:57, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That would be a good idea! I never really played gen 5 or (the original versions of) gen 4 (Didn't have a DS :p), so those are a bit of a mystery to me, but I can help with the other type matchups. The text override idea is very good. I'm not sure if this would be easy, but it would be cool if there was a generation parameter in the template (So we could have one unified template instead of 8).
 * Perhaps the syntax could look like:
 * Whatever you decide to do, the situation would be vastly improved over the current system, as you have seen at Category:Book:Pokémon/Templates.
 * Thank you for your help! If I can chip in, let me know! Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:02, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm almost done with the module, here for now. I posted a few questions at Tech L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 17:26, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Omg, that is a LOT of templates ( some most to be speedied if I complete this module, I hope) L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 17:31, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, please prepare (but don't actually do, just in case) to tag those matchup templates to be speedied. This module might actually work. And also, do you think the whole page of pokémon (as in, the pocket monsters) be laid out with a templates, as in minecraft mob pages, or manually pieced together like minecraft block/item pages? Both methods have advantages and drawbacks. The first means a specific page can't be styled differently. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 18:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Right now I think manual styling (Albeit with a style guide) is best for this use case. A lot of Pokemon have weird edgecases. Basically I want to iterate a bit and do some experimentation to see what works best. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 04:08, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Nice, very good! At a later date I may add to this to specify 4x weakness and resistance, but this is certainly more maintainable than the current system. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 04:02, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The template isn't quite done yet. I was limited to bed time. If you find any bugs or have a suggestion, better tell me instead of surfing through lua code (unless you write code almost every day, like me)! x4 can be done, so if a duplicate is found, it amplifies the weakness or resistance instead of removing one. Sorry, I write possible code solutions in places you would be shocked to hear (my hand when I'm lazy). should the types appear at the top of the template? L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 05:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fine! I'm not quite sure what types appearing at the top of the template means though. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 06:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Basically so you know the pokémon's type. But if it is mentioned elsewhere, it is fine not to add. Yes, I saw the lua error. I'll fix it. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 06:40, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Suggestion: some pokémon users like strategy. This means categories for type combos would be nice. I can do that too, if you like it. So like Category:Book:Pokémon/grass-poison pokémon. It might be useful. And I'll do it so the order you add the types don't matter, as I'll sort them alphabetically in code too. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 08:30, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Nice! Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:32, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That works Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 16:33, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Added cats. Only shows them in mainspace, otherwise no cats are added. Types are sorted. Not alphabetically, but reverse alphabetically. It will be easy to swap, but I won't if you like the results. See Pokémon/Pokédex/Bulbasaur, it has a new redlinked category. L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 19:47, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * (see the template example on this page, above) lol, you are weak to rock and electric types... *trying not to laugh*... Bwaahaahaa sorry, it's so funny. I didn't mean make the template do that. But I'm not changing it! L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 20:51, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * My team has two electric types and a rock type.. Don't worry, I'll look for my gengar instead. ;p L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 20:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC) Now, where did I leave him. Oh, a ground type. That'll do. Can't go hurting fellow contributors.

 * What do we do with it now then? Any more improvements? (I will add the x4 matchups, but not today. I'll try to look into it tomorrow.) L10nM4st3r / Roar at me 06:59, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

 * So adding the old matchups will be a challange. One I don't feel like doing. Is it necessary? Thanks. 20:12, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Wouldn't mind, actually. As long as I do get sleep, I'm fine. But still, waiting till tomorrow. 21:25, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Right, I've done some tweaking. It should run faster, and look nice. How do you like it. I had a page full of examples somewhere, but I think I replaced them with something else. Anyway, today I optimized and trimmd the code, added type colours, and added x4 and x.25 damage multipliers. Just say if I missed something. Thanks! 17:50, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

It sorta bordered "test edit", and I thought only I would see the edit. My first edit with this account I think was to Pokémon Characters or something. But I still count the Pokémon page as my first edit. See my first edit summary on wikipedia: that showed just how confused I was. it was something like "/* Pokémon Red & Blue - Red - adding more info */ ". So I put the summary inside the section title. Lol. I'll do it again in this edit to show you what it looks like. 13:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Soon after my first few wp edits, I found Diablo III and got my scissors, removing half the content of the page (not as vandalism, there used to be a tag saying the section needed to be shortened - and I wasn't just removing, I was systematically keeping just enough that it would still make sense (its a big game, and I think it could be trimmed more TBH), and changing sentence into such a way that I could remove even more. It was fun - more fun than just blanking a page! Poor vandals, they are convinced what they do is fun, but its not nearly as fun as constructive editing). 13:29, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I have some concerns regarding this, for example the screenshot in the cover page doesn’t actually come from Windows Vista. I searched “Windows Vista” in wikimedia commons and found this image of a GNOME desktop environment theme similar to Windows Vista. Do you think it’s a problem? - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 09:58, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks good overall. I agree about being iffy on the screenshot - Might be best to just omit it for now, or to move it later in the book and note it's use as a reproduction of vista styling. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 10:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much! For now I have added a notice on the front page saying that the image is only a reproduction of Windows Vista styling. I doubt that this image would be useful anywhere in the book itself so it’s either to keep it on the front cover or omit it entirely. I’m comfortable with both options, however I feel that if we remove it, we should replace it by another image instead of having a plain title page. - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 11:29, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

 * After looking more carefully, I noticed the image includes Linux commands, so it definitely cannot be used. I commented it out for now so that it can be easily replaced with another image. - 🇺🇦 Слава🇺🇦Україні 🇺🇦 Героям🇺🇦Слава🇺🇦 (talk)🇺🇦 11:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Pokémon moves in the Pokédex
I came across a few pokémon move pages in the pokédex. Should we keep them? Move them somewhere else? Delete them? One I've found is vandalism, one is way too short to be worth keeping, two are ok, but the styles are completly opposite. The list I've found:
 * Pokémon/Pokédex/Scratch - vandalism
 * Pokémon/Pokédex/Will-O-Wisp - too short
 * Pokémon/Pokédex/Ember - OK but missing info
 * Pokémon/Pokédex/Acid Armor - I prefer this one

I think there was also Pokrémon/Pokédex/Fly but never visited that one. 11:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * And Pokémon/Pokédex/Flamethrower - poor quality data 12:10, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the delay. I would like to note that I am not the primary author of the book as stated in a deletion request, simply a guy trying to maintain it when possible.
 * Philosophy of the Pokemon Wikibook. (Inclusion of moves)
 * I'm not quite sure if the pages on Pokemon Moves should be kept in their current location. On one hand the idea of one book covering Pokemon in its entirety is a bit ludicrous, albeit far more feasible when the book was started in the mid 2000s. On the other hand a lot of info doesn't change much from game to game, and for some of it in a central book is more sensible than repeating it 9+ times in individual books. (Though I would not want to prevent individual book authors from doing so if they so desire)
 * The root problem (Soapbox)
 * The problem in my view is that the book was stopped from further development by its original authors in the mid 2000's, disrupting organic growth by freezing it in time for over 10 years, where other wikis and sources have marched onwards, raising the bar for quality our readers and editors expect, and being able to organically grow with the series. I have tried to do what I can, but I am stretched thin, and will not be able to cover everything.
 * Thoughts on specific moves
 * I agree that Acid Armor is a move article that should serve as a base goal for existing move pages for quality.
 * I'm not sure if the move Scratch is actually vandalism. I don't have a copy of the game at my disposal right now, but wasn't that a real move in the early game (At least in Gen 3 and possibly others)? It's formatted strangely, and isn't really worth a lot in its current state, but unless it's actually wrong I'm not sure it's worth the effort to delete either. Can you tell me what makes it vandalism? I may be missing something.
 * Will-O-Wisp is very short of course, but it seems accurate, though very incomplete. The deletion reason given there is different from the reason given here "Wrong place for Pokemon Attacks". This could be fixed with a move if this indeed is the case, but I think it was probably correct when the page was created in 2006.
 * If Ember is OK then it doesn't need to be deleted. Missing info is typically a reason to add missing info, not for deletion.
 * TL;DR
 * I think they should be kept but expanded upon. I'm ambivalent to if they are moved or not. I agree wholehartedly that a unified style would be best, and suggest following acid armor as a template for the formation of a local style guide. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 23:16, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Scrath is an attack, but I've never seen a page look like that. In any case, whatever it says, my device cannot draw unicode chars. I dunno why I tagged the Ember page. Can't remember what was on my mind at the time. Where do you think they should go? Pokémon/Moves? I was thinking a single page as a list of moves, along with basic stats, then a more detailed description afterwards, would be more maintainable. It could be in a table, a bit like in those strategy guides you buy. 10:33, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh shoot it has unicode chars? That is strange. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 06:20, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and fixed scratch up at least. I'm still considering where items should be moved, but that seems like a reasonable choice. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 07:08, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Wait... Did you replace the scratch page with what the unicode chars said? Or did you add most of it yourself? nvm 21:32, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay! You've figured it out, but In case anyone else reads this, both actually. I first did a simple transliteration, then expanded it with my following edit. Mbrickn (discuss • contribs) 02:57, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Notation for status
In the history of the Medical Machines book is see "Changed status to one readable by shelving system." Thanks for helping but now I don't see a status indicator. Where or how do you see it. Thx, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 16:42, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello,
 * It's covered by the CSS - It was still machine readable, but not human. In this case, I re added the decistage for human readability, while keeping status for machine readability.
 * It would be handy if shelves supported decistage directly, but being based on the quarter system makes it a bit awkward to translate. Perhaps something like the following could be used?
 * Evenly balanced (Eschews strict lingual correctness for balance & compatibility with existing system)
 * Corresponds to interpretation of 0% as "Freshly started" books.

Exercise as it relates to Disease/The effect of chronic fatigue on a women’s capacity to exercise

This is a critique of the article: De Becker P, Roeykens J, Reynders M, McGregor N, De Meirleir K. Exercise capacity in chronic fatigue syndrome. Archives of internal medicine. 2000;160(21):3270-7.

What is the background to this research?
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a condition in which the patient suffers from debilitating fatigue. The study defined CFS based on Centre for Disease Control and Prevention definition from 1994: the participants must have unexplained fatigue for more than six months, that is not due to continuing exertion and is not resolved by rest, they must also have 4 or more of the 8 symptoms following; sore throat, tender lymph nodes, memory and concentration problems, joint pain, headaches of a new type, unrefreshing sleep, and post-exertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours. Half the general population reports feeling fatigued on a regular basis in surveys. Fatigue effects motivation and mood. If individuals are not wanting to exercise due to their CFS their fatigue, general health and wellbeing could get worse. This then creates a downward spiral. This study was looking at the exercise capacity of females with chronic fatigue compared to the exercise capacity of female sedentary individuals.

Where is the research from?
This investigation was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a highly respected source of peer reviewed original work. The study took place mainly in the University of Brussels, Brussels, Belgium in their Human Performance laboratory and Department of Internal Medicine with assistance from the Collaborative Pain Research Unit, Department of Biological Science in the University of Newcastle, Callaghan, New South Wales, Australia. The Archives of Internal Medicine is a publication from The Journal of the American Medical Association which is overseen by the American Medical Association. The Archives of internal medicine focus on research and studies that relate to; cardiovascular disease, geriatrics, infectious disease, gastroenterology, endocrinology, allergy, and immunology. It is a well-regarded source of peer reviewed articles about internal medicine.

What kind of research was this?
The research was comparing females from two groups one who had CFS the control group consisted of age-matched individuals, all participants were female. There were 427 CFS participants and 204 participants in the control group. The limitations of this study come down to how well the participants matched. Were the participants from the same socioeconomic class? how many times a week do they eat take out? What was there relationship with a healthy lifestyle as they grew up? And what effect do these variables have on the results? These are all factors that were not taken into consideration and can have a large impact on a person’s belief

What did the research involve?
450 participants that had CFS were enrolled in the study. Of those participant 127 did not meet the Centre for disease and infection control criteria for CFS stated in 1988 or 1994, therefore their results were not included in the final data. The control group was 204 age matched participants that lead a sedentary lifestyle. All participants did the same trial until exhaustion in the same weather conditions.

What were the basic results?
The results show that the population without CFS performed much better than the population with CFS in the assessment.
 * Data given as numbers (percentage of participants)

What conclusions can we take from this research?
Individuals with CFS have a higher resting heart rate and a lower peak maximum heart rate. And can also contract post-acute viral status post exercise which takes them longer to recover post-exercise due to their CFS. As this study was the first large study evaluating CFS patients (n=427) with sedentary control group (n=204) due to the large number of participants (n= 631) the results become more reliable. However, the maximal heart rate was the only aspect that was assessed. This is one of many aspects of physical activity and to health, though this is a useful tool for establishing an individual’s physical capacity with relative ease.

Practical advice
If you have CFS your exercise capacity is most likely lower than it would be if you did not have CFS. Take this into consideration when exercising and make sure to let your body adapt as you get fitter and do not exceed your limits or push too hard.

Further information/resources
Below is a list of resources that go into further detail about CFS and what exercise may be beneficial for a patient with CFS. It is worth noting that these websites do not come from a reputable location they are merely here to provide some additional general information about CFS and some ideas for types of exercise that may be easier for patients suffering with CFS. This does not substitute for medical advice or advice from an accredited physiotherapist of exercise psychologist. If you have any concerns about your condition, contact your chosen health professional.

Oberon/ETH Oberon/partition

Back to: Native Oberon Hardware Compatiblity List

Partitioning considerations Summary ETH Oberon is best hosted in a dedicated partition, but if one feels it too risky to partition a hard disk, on a working system hosting other operating systems, the alternative is to place Oberon in a large file in another file system such as FatFS or, if Linux is installed, in a LinuxFS. In any case, the implementation chosen will considerably influence how ETH Oberon is started. A whole palette of ways to start ETH Oberon is documented in Bootstrapping an OS on an x86-based PC, with application to ETH Oberon and further documents linked to it. Many of the themes tackled below are known and dealt with extensively in the context of the many other operating systems. Only the essential part is reminded here in a compact form. The hardware prerequisites are so minimal and so easily met and Oberon has such a small footprint that almost any machine can host it. Oberon fits admirably in an embedded system, such as is encountered in process control for the industry.

Oberon on CD-ROM Neither partitioning nor installation are needed for running Oberon from the ETH Oberon CD_ROM. The CD edited by vis - Version 11 Nov 2001 - is bootable provided booting from CD-ROM is among the boot sequence options of the system setup on your machine. Oberon is immediately ready for use with its TUI. A RAM disk is available for saving data temporarily (approximately 50% of free RAM is allocated). The fact that the screen operates currently only in VGA mode is bigger handicap. Even so, this system is only apparently of limited capability, as:

 * to establish communication it suffices to copy Oberon.Text to RAM: and to edit the NetSystem section.
 * to save files it suffices to mount a diskette or, if free partition space is available, to create an AosFS partition to work with (do not forget that ZIP disks can also be used).
 * to save files it suffices to mount an existing FAT partition to gain access to it and exchange files, using the System.CopyFiles command for example.

Oberon in a file No partitioning is needed for:
 * Oberon for Dummies which is installed in a large file on a FAT partition. It is an updated version of the software found on the CD-ROM included in the book Beginning Programming for Dummies. An easy-to-use installation program OberonInstaller.exe running on Windows is included. The program installs the big file and writes an Oberon boot file to a 1.44MB diskette, from which Oberon can then boot. This Oberon can co-exist with a partition-based Oberon installation at the same time as with other OSes.
 * Linux-based Native Oberon which is installed in a large file of the Linux file system.

Oberon in a partition Installing Oberon in a partition requires:
 * partitioning a disk.
 * downloading the distribution software and installing ETH Oberon. The installation process is described in detail elsewhere. During the installation, the partition is formatted, thus creating an empty Aos file system (AosFS). Formatting can fail due to the presence of bad blocks. The reason and a workaround are dealt with in a subsequent section.

File system prefixes are used in place of the conventional drive letters "C", "D", etc. Knowingly, for other operating systems, the letter assignment differs from one OS to another and follows a rather complex pattern of rules for searching primary, secondary, visible/hidden partitions. Oberon sees all the partitions (cfr. Partitions.Show ) and partitions must be mounted to access them.

Partition size considerations A complete installed system, as built from the downloable material, fits in a 60MB partition, leaving approximately 50% of free space. It is advised to keep the original files separated from user files which should at best be stored in an other partition created specially. How that is done and how the partition is accessed are explained in Multiple Oberon partitions on a machine.

ETH Oberon features file garbage collection (GC) on three levels, returning to the pool of free blocks the blocks of deleted files:

 * on-the-fly GC during an Oberon session.
 * conditional GC during system start-up. The configuration string "DiskGC" determines the amount of free space, in % of the partition size, below which garbage collection must take place. The values 10 .. 100 can be assigned. The default value is 10.
 * automatic GC during system start-up when less than a megabyte is available, or if the system was not shut down cleanly, e.g. when the machine is powered off abruptly.

Bluebottle features a similar file garbage collection but on-the-fly GC is not implemented.

File GC, when it takes place, has the side-effect that system start-up lasts noticeably longer than is usual. If the amount of free disk space is chronically too small, GC could take place at every start-up depending on the value assigned to "DiskGC". When no free space is left, a "Volume full" situation will bring the system to a grinding halt - cfr. ETH Oberon system stability. To recover, restart the system, delete unnecessary files and observe the amount of free space by executing System.Watch. If it happened during a system update, proceed with the installation piece by piece, downloading zip archives one at a time, extracting the files and deleting the archive immediately thereafter.

Bad block problem The procedure responsible for formatting a file system, such as AosFS, does not handle bad blocks currently. The only workaround is to define a small partition that includes the conspicuous block(s). This partition will not be used.

Proposed homework for a volunteer: What needs to be done is to ensure that the bad blocks are ignored by the file system:

 * 1) detect bad blocks in Partitions.Format
 * 2) create a file that contains all these bad blocks. This part is file system specific.

If someone wants to attempt this, it is suggested to take the relevant Format code from Partitions.Mod and to rewrite it in a new module.

How to start Oberon In practice, the manner in which Oberon is started is determined at installation time, and more precisely, in the last installation step using an Oberon-0 system. Note that, as the options are not exclusive, several may be chosen. Options not considered at installation time, may be still be implemented later on, without the need of repeating the installation or part of it. System administration tasks not involving Oberon are, in most cases, required to complete the chain of actions enabling a system start.

How to start another operating system In case your machine is set up to startup directly into Oberon (the partition is marked as "active"), do this to start another operating system:

 * boot it from a diskette
 * activate the partition of that other operating system in anticipation of terminating an Oberon session by issuing these two commands:
 * Partitions.Deactivate [dev#part | ^] (* select Oberon partition *)
 * Partitions.Activate [dev#part | ^] (* select next OS partition *)
 * activate the partition of that other operating system using some other program such as fdisk (DOS, Windows, Linux), PQBoot (a PartitionMagic component), or some other commercial program.

Technical: Boot manager not supporting chaining If you boot loader does not support "chaining" to boot a partition from the second drive, you can try to "patch" the boot sector of the Oberon partition. The byte at offset 24H in the boot sector should be set to 81H instead of 80H, to boot from the second hard disk. To make sure you are modifying the correct sector, check that the string "OBERON" appears at offset 3 in the sector. The patch can be applied:

 * using Oberon itself using the Partitions tool:
 * Inspect the boot sector with Partitions.ShowBlocks dev#part 0 1~
 * Store the boot record Partitions.PartitionToFile dev#part filename 0 1 ~
 * Edit the byte at offset 24H
 * Put the modified MBR in place with Partitions.WriteMBR dev#0 filename ~
 * or using a sector editor like Norton Disk Editor.

Building Haycocks/Building/Tramping

Tramping refers to the practice of treading on the loose hay being built to enable a reasonable compression on the hay being built. As well as building haycocks the method can also be used in the storing of hay in barns, sheds and on hay carts. The person doing the tramping may also use a fork to help receive the hay, though this may be a safety risk if an inexperiences younger person is doing the tramping which is often the case. If a dedicated tramping is not available a builder may sometimes jump on the haycock while the build is low to stop the haycock growing too fast with a low density of hay. Unless done poorly the tramping should add to the stability of the haycock being built and reduce the risk of instability and toppling.

English-Hanzi/Vitamin D directs the mineralization of bones

Vitamin D directs the mineralization of bones. Basically, it tells calcium what to do and where to go in the body. Without enough vitamin D, no matter how much you take, you cannot absorb enough calcium. Adequate sunlight can ensure adequate vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium absorption. As we age, our skin's ability to make vitamin D through sunlight decreases, so it is necessary to get more sunlight. The main source of vitamin D is produced by the skin through sunlight, but some foods also contain small amounts of vitamin D.

Food source

 * Fortified foods such as dairy products, juices and cereals
 * yolk
 * Oily fish such as salmon, herring and sardines

维生素D指导骨骼的矿化. 基本上，它告诉钙在体内做什么和去哪里. 没有足够的维生素D，无论摄入多少，都无法吸收足够的钙. 充足的阳光可以确保充足的维生素D，这是钙吸收所必需的. 随着年龄的增长，我们的皮肤通过阳光制造维生素D的能力下降，因此有必要获得更多的阳光. 维生素D的主要来源是皮肤通过阳光照射产生的，但是某些食物也含有少量的维生素D.

食物来源

Cardinals
For digits 11 - 19, you take tini, add ka, and cycle through 1 - 9. The numbers 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 are formed by taking a single digit number, and adding sagavulu to them, which was the usual word for ten in olden times. If you wanted to say a number such as 22 or 58, you would take ruasagavulu, tolusagavulu, etc, add ka, and then cycle through 1 - 9, just like you did for 11 - 19. So 22 would be ruasagavulu ka rua and 58 would be limasagavulu ka walu.
 * dua - one
 * rua - two
 * tolu - three
 * va - four
 * lima - five
 * ono - six
 * vitu - seven
 * walu - eight
 * ciwa - nine
 * tini - ten
 * tini ka dua - eleven
 * tini ka rua - twelve
 * tini ka tolu - thirteen
 * tini ka va - fourteen
 * tini ka lima - fifteen
 * tini ka ono - sixteen
 * tini ka vitu - seventeen
 * tini ka walu - eighteen
 * tini ka ciwa - nineteen
 * ruasagavulu - twenty
 * tolusagavulu - thirty
 * vasagavulu - forty
 * limasagavulu - fifty
 * onosagavulu - sixty
 * vitusagavulu - seventy
 * walusagavulu - eighty
 * ciwasagavulu - ninety

Mirad Grammar/Lesson 5

=Lesson 5: How old are you?=
 * In this lesson, you will learn how to count and deal with numbers. You will also learn to conjugate verbs in the perfect aspect.

 * Et se duhojaga ? ||  How old are you?
 * At se ulo (jabi) jaga . || I'm forty years old .
 * Hwiy! Et se elo jabi gajaga vyel at . || Wow!  You are twenty years older than I .
 * At te, oy et gay agso ig. || I know, but you too will grow quickly.

 * Hyay. At oztasaye. Sa fia daler bay et. Hoy. || Great.  I have gotten tired.  It was good talking with you.  Bye.
 * }

Perfect Aspect Verbs

 * In the past lessons, you learned the simple and progressive aspect tenses of the verb. Here you will learn the perfect aspect, which act just as the perfect tenses in English (I have studied, I had studied, I will have studied, and I would have studied). The sign of the perfect aspect is the infix ay (as opposed to ey, the infix for the progressive aspect tenses).
 * Here is a chart showing the new set of tenses (active voice only):
 * {| class="wikitable" style="background:lightyellow; font-size:smaller;"
 * {| class="wikitable" style="background:lightyellow; font-size:smaller;"

 * + Perfect Aspect Tenses
 * at s ay e....I have been
 * at s ay a....I had been
 * at s ay o....I will have been
 * at s ay u....I would have been
 * }
 * Examples:
 * At tambesaye him ji glaj.....I have lived here for a long time.
 * Et saye fua.....You have been bad.
 * At voy tayu hus.....I would not have known that.
 * At jay tajayu haj hu et pyua ela jabi jaga.....I had been born already when you reached twenty-one years of age.
 * Be ata tajjub, at tejayo ilyo jabi.....On my birthday, I will have lived thirty-five years.

Counting and Telling One's Age

 * A full explanation of numbers and counting can be found in the chapter on Numbers. The units, when counting, end in -wa.  The teens end in -lo, -la, -le, -li, etc.  The hundreds in so, -sa, -se, etc.
 * The question for asking someone's age is usually Duhojaga et se?....How old are you?
 * The answer is usually phrased as At se x-number (jabi) (jaga).....I am x-number (years) (old) where either word in the parentheses can be omitted. The Mirad word jabi means years and jaga means old or of age.  So, to say I am forty-two years old, you would say At se ule jabi jaga or just At se ule., or At se ule jaga.
 * The word jaga can just be the adjective old, the opposite being joga....young. Jag as a noun means age.  An old person is jagat, while a youth is jogat.
 * The "dimension" jag (age) can be prefixed with all the h- deictic prefixes and all the quantitative prefixes like ga, go, or gla. For example:
 * duhojaga?....how old?
 * hijaga....this old
 * hujaga....that old
 * hejaga....somewhat old
 * gajaga (vyel)....older (than)
 * gejaga (vyel)....as old (as)
 * gojaga (vyel)....less old (than)
 * gwajaga....eldest
 * grajaga....too old
 * grojaga....minor
 * glajaga....very old
 * All of the above terms and others can be pronominalized animately or inanimately:
 *  Grojagati voy upo..... Minors (=too young persons) will not come.
 *  Hujagasi se vua..... Things that old are ugly.
 * The word joga, when referring to things can be translated as new:
 * At ayse jogas av et.....I have something new for you.
 * When joga applies to people, it means young:
 * Hijuba jogati te glos.....The youth of today know little.

Adding Gender to Nouns

 * Nouns do not have inherent gender in Mirad. For example, tad simply means spouse (husband or wife).
 * To make a gender-neutral noun masculine or male, insert a w just before the stem vowel.
 * tad....spouse becomes twad....husband
 * Similarly, to make a gender-neutral noun feminine or female, insert a y just after the stem vowel or vowel cluster:
 * tad....spouse becomes tayd....wife (tayd is pronounced exactly like Am. Eng. tide)
 * Other examples:
 * tud....child
 * twud....son
 * tuyd....daughter
 * tob....person, human being
 * twob....man
 * toyb....woman
 * Singular personal pronouns can be genderized similarly:
 * it....he or she, him or her
 * wit....he or him
 * iyt....she or her
 * at....I or me (gender unspoken)
 * wat....I or me, being a male
 * ayt....I or me, being a female
 * et....you
 * wet....you, being a male
 * eyt....you, being a female
 * The plural personal pronouns yat, yet, and yit stay gender-neutral.
 * Deictic pronouns can be genderized unless the deictic prefix begins in hy-:
 * hut....that person, he or she, him or her
 * hwut*....that guy, he or him
 * huyti....those gals, they (being females)
 * * The hw is pronounced as Am. Eng. wh in where.

Quantitative Deictic Determiners

 * Determiners specifying quantity and answering the question duhogla (how much) are show in the following chart:

Regular expression implementation
The  documentation is based on this .NET documentation, but since Blazegraph is implemented in Java, I think it's probably more accurate to link to this Java   documentation and perhaps this   documentation in the   section. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 22:58, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

User:KurosanLOVE

Greetings
I am me. I edit and translate articles on Wikibooks.

Kuro is my canine friend (and he is dumb but adorable).

Kuro and I are both male.

About me
My favorite foods are chocolate, and pizza, and the prince of vegetables, broccoli.

I disgust filth, and I am irritable. I do many things a woman would do, such as wash my hair and comb it. I also do not use informal words anywhere.

My father is American, and my mother is Japanese.

I trust Kuro. A lot. Kuro means "Black" in Japanese（黒）. But in Japanese, my dog's name is spelled in Hiragana:くろ. He was given this name because his fur used to be black.

My catchphrase is "Die".

I like to play Minecraft and Child of Eden. I also play Roblox, Warframe, and SpeedRunners. I like to play with Kuro.

Kuro, for some reason, eats strange things, including tissue papers, pencils and cicadas.

Building Haycocks/Building/Topping

Topping refers to the building of the topmost part of the cock which narrows in at the apex. As the top is neared it is a skilled art to gently layer precisely hay to the top of the haycock. Gentle beating with pitchforks and use of rakes may be used to keep the top even and well combed down. It is possible to use a less well seasoned forkful of hay for the very top if required.

In the event of wind it may be necessary for one person to hold the top down with a pitchfork rake until the haycock can be secured with ropes.
