Review (criteria)	Comment, hi Archaeodontosaurus, I'm not sure about the English translation. In English, a dyke (how we usually spell it) is more commonly a drainage channel (like here) or a raised bank to keep, for example, water out (like here). The subject of your picture is, I think, a weir as in this picture and this picture. -- DeFacto (talk). 08:51, 8 March 2019 (UTC) The dyke brings water to the mill on the right at the foot of ruins of the castle. Maybe he'd use the word dam. Thanks for your help. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:04, 8 March 2019 (UTC) That's commonly called a "mill race" then, as here. A "mill dam" is a wall to hold back water, to create a water storage reservoir as here. -- DeFacto (talk). 09:39, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Ok for for "mill race", I make the changes. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 09:54, 8 March 2019 (UTC) There is a category in COMMONS and ... a word in French: Bief , which I did not know. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 10:07, 8 March 2019 (UTC) -- DeFacto (talk). 10:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC)  Support, now useful and best in scope. -- DeFacto (talk). 10:16, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
