[edit] Ivan Asen II
I reverted your addition to Ivan Asen II. Yes, I believe his father may have been of Vlach origin (his mother probably not) but it is not 100 per cent certain, and therefore it would be wrong to add it, as if it was an undoubted fact, to the first sentence of Ivan Asen II. It would need more discussion. As you may have seen, the issue is discussed at Asen dynasty (also at Vlach-Bulgarian Rebellion). Andrew Dalby 11:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- He actually WAS a vlach as he alone recognised in a letter to the Pope Innocent III. The Pope himself told him: As you are from vlach origins...

- Thank you for replying! The Pope recognised Ivan Asen's "Roman" origin (he did not say Vlach, unless I'm mistaken). I agree with you that this may in practice be the same thing -- it probably is. But since Ivan Asen II also claimed to inherit from the First Bulgarian Empire, and since we do not know what information was available to the Pope which made him say what he did, we still cannot state it simply as a proven fact. However, it would be quite right to include mention of these details in the article -- the statement made by the Pope about Roman origins, and the claim to inherit from the Bulgarians -- both details, not just one! Do you want to do that, or shall I? Andrew Dalby 11:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

- Don't mention it! ;)... well... I leave it up to you! And the word vlach is used in the letter... I have read it.

[edit] The Romanian forum and more
Hello, I noticed that you are a Romanian Wikipedian, and thought you'd might be interested in this Romanian community portal, if you didn't know of it before:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Romanian_Wikipedian's_notice_board
It's a page for Romanian users and other users working with Romania-related articles. One can ask questions regarding articles, collaborate on various projects, participate in discussions on the talk page and generally gain a better overview regarding the Romania-related articles on the English-language Wikipedia.
Seeing that you support the reunification of Romania and Moldova, I also thought you may also want to express your opinion regarding the future of the Moldovan-language Wikipedia that for the last couple of months has caused a good deal of controversy. You can do that here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects#Closure_of_Moldovan_Wikipedia
If you're unfamiliar with the situation and don't know of the history surrounding the Moldovan Wikipedia, here's a helpful wrap-up in Romanian:

Hope to see you around here in the future.
