User talk:WeatherlawyerCompañía de Salitres y Ferrocarril de AntofagastaHello Weatherlawyer, Thanks for your amendments to the list. I would like to publish an article about the "Compañía de Salitres y Ferrocarril de Antofagasta", a company often cited but seldom known. I have worked out a stub or a little bit more in User:Keysanger/sandbox. Would you review the proposal?. That would be great!. --Keysanger (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2015 (UTC) I was trying to understand the way that Chilean nitrate would be used in gunpowder but I see that it was most likely used in fertiliser and the potassium salts retained for defence. The British blocked the rest of Europe's supply, leading to German development of Ammonia and Nitrogen Oxides. The year 1883 was a very important year in the USA. It marked the end of the cowboy era and total disregard of any human rights belonging to original inhabitants, the original holocaust so of course the interference hazard from the USA in South America is an important aspect of your country's history. You are more likely to be familiar with the history of United Fruit than I am, so you already know most of this. 1883 was the year that Kratakatau erupted; famously bad winters and the end of the Pacific War. Both the politics of the USA and the severe weather must have played a large part in the ending of that war. You will have to look at what happened in Antofagasta and the desert to see what knock-on effects it would have had. What I am really interested in is a compendium of all the world's natural resources. Finding the sites of the US coal and iron mines is difficult despite their history of freedom of information. Locating anything in Britain is ridiculously hard. Stuff from Australia isn't bad but your work is a world leader. Would you do an explanation of how they obtained the produce? I think your links away from the Wikipedia should go into the footnotes with a numbering system linking from the text to the footnotes. That way the reader can ignore the links unless he wishes to do further research. Then he can find them all together as one, later. Are you going to do an article on natural extraction? These are the things so easily lost to history. For example we no longer know how iron was originally produced. How did the original surveyor discover the product and know what to do about it? It is the same with the guano and phosphate quarrying.Weatherlawyer (talk) 14:24, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
References I have just come from the house of an old friend that was a bricklayer and wrote about his experiences in a story about Red Ash the use of coal tip waste after the disaster called Aberfan. I should get him to write about that for the Wikipedia as it is something that will be lost in history soon. The odd thing about Stoke on Trent is that the weather is the perfect opposite to yours with almost permanent cloud cover. In the days of the coal pits it was virtually perpetual smog. How much was 10 cents worth in those days? If a bag takes 10 minutes to fill with guano or salt a man can fill 6 in an hour and 60 in a ten hour day. So each man was earning 600 cents for the government every day. I imagine there was a lot of bad feeling about that. I doubt he would be earning a dollar a day in that hot equatorial sun. "What" he must have been thinking "were rich English farmers earning?" Less than him probably. Only the rich get rich when they find out what the natives can be robbed of. The poor can do all their fighting for them, as is happening in Venezuela now as the rich vie with the USA to get their hands on the oil. Do you have figures for how much value that commodity rises and falls with cycles of plenty and poverty? How did the el Ninos and La Ninas affect the trade? Take as your datum the eruption of Krakatau and make the columns out to about 11 years: tropics of the moon..Weatherlawyer (talk) 20:10, 19 January 2015 (UTC) January 2015 Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Taking the piss has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
Quite all right but someone ought to sort out that piffle. The idea that a canal boatman wouldn't stink of piss if he was in the trade is ridiculous. Who the hell would take such a trip on anyway? And who would be supplying the piss? In those days you picked up the cargo as you went you never stuck to a regular contract. That would be handled by the company you operated the boat for. Where would dyers get urine from? They wouldn't go far for it and what latrines have ever been plumbed into canal boats? It is beyond reason.Weatherlawyer (talk) 01:15, 23 January 2015 (UTC) March 2015
I don't think you made a mistake. I think you are a self opinionated fool. But then so am I. The problem is is that you are not only a self opinionated fool but stupid with it. The Kent Horvind page is a nasty, bigoted, opinion piece and you can do what the hell you like with it. I have no more respect for this magazine than I would have for the Mirror Group Newspapers if I had any opinion for them in respect of anything. You are fond of making stupid edits but stupid enough to overindulge yourself. The term "for a long time" is well known in English, a language I am quite familiar with. I can't say I have ever heard of the term: "for a long amount of time". But then, you are stupid and probably will be for an exceptionally long "amount" of time.
