[edit] Weissmuller

Look, J. Weissmuller was born in Medja Serbia. The link to the NY Times article that corroborates that is http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/17/world/europe/17briefs-tarzanmonument.html?ex=1172725200&en=a945f654fa0398cc&ei=5070 .

For your convenience, I will copy the article below. PLEASE, refrain from further revisions that impair its factual accuracy.

Serbia: Monument to Tarzan

By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE Published: February 17, 2007 The village of Medja, on the border with Romania, plans to build a monument to Johnny Weissmuller, the best-known film Tarzan. Mr. Weissmuller, who won five Olympic gold medals in swimming, was born in Medja in 1904. He died in 1984. Residents said they were inspired by a decision this week by another Serbian village, Zitiste, to erect a statue of Sylvester Stallone’s film boxer Rocky Balboa to rid itself of bad luck.

[edit] Talk: List of Romanian communists

Hi. Please express an opinion on the recent issue there. Dahn 15:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:BAN

Can you please provide your opinion about this? I agreed with Greier on a certain issue, now Greier is banned and some users are claiming that is against Wikipedia policy to keep my opinion.--MariusM 01:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I took a look at mo.wiki and don't understand what happened there. Is this a bug, or all articles have finally been deleted? In case it's a transient bug: when you search for "Recent changes" there are none. In addition, no main page, nothing. Dpotop 19:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

The articles still exist: http://mo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Исламизм Probably the recent changes cache was deleted. bogdan 19:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

No. The entire thing has been closed. It's readonly. I got a message on my talk page. Cool! Dpotop 20:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed: "Database locked". bogdan 20:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't know which Licences to use

Sorry about the uploads, but I'm not sure which licences to use and I know that using the Free Documentation Licenses are discureged, but I am allowed to use them. What would you suggest then? --NewYork1956 23:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't upload images you find on other websites: they are likely copyrighted. You can however upload your own pictures, which you can license under GFDL. BTW, it's Fair use that is discouraged. bogdan 11:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roşia Montană

Hi:

I know you're busy, but if you get a chance to help us clear up some disputes/cite some sources re the Gabriel Resources Roşia Montană project, that'd be great. I've tried to source some of the claims which you made, but am finding it difficult...

Thanks Jackk 04:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas

Hi Bogdan! I just want to say Merry Christmas to you! Have a nice holiday time. If you don't observe this event then I hope you don't mind this greeting. :) - Darwinek 19:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! A wonderful Christmas to you and your family! :-) bogdan 19:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Format problem on Vladimir Tismăneanu

Hi. I seem to have met a weird format problem while referencing the article, and I don't know what I should change in the format to make notes show up right. Can you please help? Dahn 19:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I figured it eventually. Never mind. Dahn 19:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Too late, I already fixed it. :-) bogdan 19:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I was doing the exact same thing... at the same time... and I thought my version was the saved one... but then I checked the edit history. :) That certainly is weird... Thanks. Dahn 20:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Btw, have you seen the ROmanian version of this article? Its weasel wordism, fallacies, and ignoratio elenchi-style arguments are scandalous. Dahn 20:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and that's not the only article like that: see ro:Republica Socialistă Sovietică Evreiască: "un proiect parţial nerealizat". :-) bogdan 20:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

There are even worse ones out there. Tell me, was anybody ever permabanned there? Dahn 20:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

By looking at the blocking log I can say that the only parmabanned users are for "vandalism". An interesting entry in this log was this:

3 septembrie 2006 07:05 Rebel (Discuţie | contribuţii) a blocat 80.99.187.63 (contribuţii); termen: 1 lună. (În Ungaria se predă probabil altă istorie. Obşinuieşte-te cu gândul că noi am fost aici înaintea voastră.)

:-) bogdan 21:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Jesus! Knowledge of this mayhem may cause sysops to block the Romanian wikipedia together with the Moldovan one... At the risk of repeating myself: I'm staying as far away from that hellhole as I possibly can. If you still contribute there, I have to say I admire your patience. Dahn 21:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I just make a few minor changes once in a while. bogdan 21:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Transnistria

Argh, help, he's at it again! (If it's really him) --Illythr 18:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I have to say that he's amusing. In a what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you kind of way. --Illythr 18:26, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Bogdan. I no longer really edit Wikipedia, but I often check on your contributions, along with Dbachmann's (that's about it). I spend most of my internet time in myspace these days, my favorite account of mine probably being [http://www.myspace.com/winona_gone_shopping . Winona is fun. Cute chick. Don't know why Johnny Depp broke up with her. See you in the Wiki. 69.224.116.158 14:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

A Merry Christmas to you, too, Winona. ;-) bogdan 14:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank You. And I (Winona, I'm really her people, read my page) had nothing to do with this bizarre vandalism ;) Pure coincidence. I show up, and a little later that thing appears on the Main Page :) Don't blame it on Winona, I'm just a shoplifter. 69.224.116.158 15:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for pitching in with me on my comments about the Virgin Unite logo on the Main page. I am relatively new, so don't know if the comments had/will have any effect. Hope to collaborate with you in future. :) --Vikas Kumar Ojha _{Talk to me!} 01:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird problem

Hi, B. Do you happen to know why some pictures will only appear as links on pages (see History of the Jews in Romania, where the map I drew is now a mere link, and the picture on Vladimir Tismăneanu). Do I need to change my settings or something? Dahn 13:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Strange -- as I can see those pictures! bogdan 13:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, ok. I'll see about my settings, then (at least I know it is not everybody's problem). Dahn 13:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Memset_Ltd on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Memset_Ltd. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Khcw77 00:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Now I understand Johnny Depp

Believe it or not, I've been in contact for the past three days with the real Winona Ryder. And I fully understand Johnny Depp now. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm trying to bone Winona, I would not be speaking to her, put it that way. I'm not joking. 69.106.106.120 13:20, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

So, you've been in contact with her. Hm... Did she got a restraining order against you, so far? :-) bogdan 13:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Not yet, but I'm seriously in contact with her. For better or worse. 69.106.106.120 13:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Maybe you can take a pic of her for her article: Winona Ryder. BTW, Be careful with her, she appears to be a bit... er... unstable. :-) bogdan 13:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

You still think I'm joking? There are at least three people who know I'm not joking: me, her, and a hispanic friend of hers. The Great Mystery. Yes, I am quite aware of her personality traits and her Zodiac sign, and I actually was aware of that before I encountered her, but the encounter left no doubt. This was a major reason why I used her for my new Wikipedia persona, which was also dark, scorpio-ish, and seemingly unstable. Happy New Year, I forgot to say that last time :) 2007 is here. 69.111.115.72 13:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Happy New Year to you, too. Yeah, this year is your year. Good luck with Winona! ;-) bogdan 13:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I also got into a bad scene with her (because of her friend), and I am no longer impersonating her in MySpace, although she didn't mind, it was my decision. The account still exists but I converted it: [http://www.myspace.com/winona_gone_shopping . 69.111.115.72 13:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Heh. :-) bogdan 13:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lista localităţilor din Republica Moldova

Bună, am observat că ai creat articolul cu lista localităţilor din Republica Moldova pe wikipedia engleză. Pe wikipedia română vrem să creăm articole pentru fiecare localitate din Republica Moldova şi avem nevoie de o bază de date/listă cât mai completă. În principiu cât mai multe informaţii. Lista de la List of localities in Moldova este a tuturor localităţilor sau doar oraşele şi comunele? Ştii cumva unde pot fi găsite alte informaţii pe această temă (eventual populaţia localităţilor şi orice alte informaţii)? Am încercat pe internet, dar fără succes. În cazul în care ai vreme şi mă poţi ajuta, pls...--Roamataa 15:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Lista care e acolo am găsit-o pe un site fără prea multe detalii despre localităţi, aşa că nu pot să-ţi spun cum dacă sunt doar oraşe şi comune sau şi sate. Altă sursă mai detaliată nu am găsit. bogdan 15:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Am făcut rost de lista completă (aproximativ). Sunt în jur de 1.600 de localităţi. --Roamataa 20:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Salut. As fi interesat sa ajut la proiectul localitatilor si unitatilor teritoriale ale Moldovei/Basarabiei. Iata lista localitatilor din Moldova cand au fost introduse judetele, in 1998: [1]. Atunci au fost create 12 unitati teritoriale:

• Judetul Edinet
• Judetul Soroca
• Judetul Balti
• Judetul Ungheni
• Judetul Orhei
• Judetul Chisinau
• Judetul Lapusna
• Judetul Tighina
• Judetul Cahul
• Unitatea Teritoriala Autonoma Gagauza
• Municipiul Chisunau
• localitatile din Stanga Nistrului care pot primi statut special (adica fara cele 9 sate care au intrat in Judetul Chisinau)

Dupa aproximativ 3 ani, din cateva localitati din Judetul Cahul s-a creat Judetul Taraclia (care coincide cu actualul raion Taraclia). In 2003 s-au introdus din nou raioane. Acum exista 37 de unitati teritoriale:

• cele 32 de raioane
• cele 3 municipalitati: Chisinau, Balti si Tighina
• UTA Gagauza (care contine mun Comrat)
• Transnistria (care contine mun Tiraspol)

Inainte de 1998 erau:

• 40 de raioane (configuratia un pic diferita de cea actuala)
• 4 orase de subordonare republicana: Chisinau, Tiraspol, Balti si Tighina

Nu e chiar corect de spus 1940-1998, deoarece:

• configuratia raioanelor s-a schimbat de-a lungul timpului, dar a fost stabila dupa sfarsitul anilor 60
• raioanele nu au fost introduse deodata in 1940, ci in continuare existau judete. In 1941 s-a inceput trecerea la raioane, dar nu stiu pe cat de mult s-a incheiat. In 1944-45 in principiu nu exista mare administratie decat cea militara in trecere. Dupa 1945 s-a inceput organizarea propriu-zisa in raioane.

Lista judetelor din Basarabia intre 1918-1940 exista deja pe wikipedia. Pe internet exista si liste (probabil chiar complete) ale localitatilor fiecarui judet. In 1812-1825 au existat 12 judete (reforma facuta de Banulescu-Bodoni):

• Hotin
• Soroca
• Iasi
• Orhei
• Lapusna
• Tighina
• Codru
• Greceni
• Hotarniceni
• Cetatea Alba
• Chilia
• Ismail

iar in 1825-1918 au existat 8 judete (o noua reforma facuta de general-guvernatotul rus; numele oficial era general-guvernator, nu guvernator general):

• Hotin
• Iasi (in 1887 s-a schimbat denumirea in Balti)
• Orhei
• Lapusna
• Tighina (Bender)
• Cetatea Alba (Akkerman)
• Ismail
• Cahul

Pentru 1400-1812 se poate da link la tinuturile Principatului Moldova. Harta de aici (citata in Wikipedia) este aproape corecta, in sensul ca in 1501 Bugeacul si Smilul inca faceau parte din prinicpat. In 1532 sau 1533 a fost pierduta Pocutia, adica tinutul Cernauti s-a redus in jumatate. In 1538-41 a fost pierdut Bugeacul si Smilul. Intre timp pe alocuri s-au mai schimbat frontierele intre tinuturi. A disparut tinutul Cotnari si a aparut tinutul Carligatura: Iasi si Cotnari sunt separate mai mult sau mai putin pe axa nord-sud, in timp ce Iasi si Carligatura sunt pe axa vest-est (Carligatura era unul din cele mai mici tinuturi ca suprafata, dar totusi avea localitati pe ambele maluri ale Prutului). Harta de la sf sec 17 exista in Descrierea Moldovei de Cantemir, unde exista foarte multe detalii despre fiecare tinut. Cu exceptia Cotnari/Carligatura, toate denumirile tinuturilor s-au pastrat, eventual fara "u", dar unele mici alteratii ale frontierelor lor au avut loc. In epoca fanariota, la un moment dat Imperiul Otoman a facut raia la Hotin, separandu-l de principat, apoi l-a intors inapoi. Apoi in 1775 Bucovina a fost cedata Austriei. Pana la introducerea tinuturilor de catre Alexandru cel Bun, nu au existat unitati teritoriale is sens adevarat, desi au exsitat unele designatii de nume regionale.

Daca pot ajuta cu ceva la proiectul localitatilor din Moldova (si al diviziunilor teritoriale) in engleza sau romana, lasati-mi mesaje pe pagina mea User talk:Dc76. As prefera sa pot ajuta cu chestii mici care pot fi facute in 30 de minute - 1 ora. In felul acesta as putea ajuta mai mult si mai des. Imi este mai greu sa-mi asum sarcini de organizare, deaorece nu am foarte mult timp pentru wikipedia. Dar daca cineva dintre voi se ocupa de organizare/gandire generala/structura si are nevoie de sfaturi/ajutoare in editare/cautari informatii/traduceri - as putea fi de folos.:Dc76 21:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Proiectul localităţilor din Republica Moldova este doar pe wikipedia română. Nu ştiu să existe ceva similar pe wiki-en. În principiu s-au creat paginile şi acum se lucrează la corecţii, ş.a. Personal nu mai am foarte multe tangenţe cu proiectul, am ajutat în faza iniţială, dar acum nu mă mai pot ocupa. Eventual vezi ro:Wikipedia:Proiectul localităţile din Republica Moldova. Pricipalul utilizator care ştiu că se ocupă pe wiki-ro este Afil. Discută cu el şi vezi cu ce poţi ajuta.--Roamataa 07:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

O rugăminte aş avea - ştii cumva pe unde aş putea găsi o listă cu localităţile regiunii Cernăuţi din Ucraina? Una cât mai completă. M-ar interesa iniţierea de pagini şi pt. acestea. --Roamataa 07:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Bogdan, please join talk about the issues in Transnistria article.--MariusM 12:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote-shopping, are we? - Mauco 14:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote-shopping is what you did here, with somebody which is not usually involved in Transnistria-related articles. Bogdan is an old contributor at Transnistria and I saw he made recent changes without disscussions in talk page.--MariusM 14:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

He did, she did... You're not making friends around here. - Mauco 15:50, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! To you, too!! Happy 2007. - Mauco 19:45, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

First, Happy New Year!
I've noticed your interest in Transnistria, and maybe you would like to vote in the survey on the inclusion in Tiraspol article of the images with the Soviet tank monument in Tiraspol and Transnistrian Government building in Tiraspol with statue of Lenin in front. The survey is here. Thank you, Dl.goe

[edit] CHOBA B CCCP

The correct name of the album is CHOBA B CCCP and it uses latin all right. Please unsalt the earth and move the article to the correct title

Also, it is a good idea to propose moves first before doing them unilaterally. --Irpen 05:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brain slipping?

Hi, Bogdangiusca. I don't understand how, at 22:18 UTC[2] you could edit Silvia Adriana Ţicău with the edit summary 'sort-key fix", doing a good job and getting that one right, and then a mere 15 minutes later turn around and add this to a different article: [[Category:Hungarian-Romanians|Szabó, Károly Ferenc]]. It just doesn't make sense. Gene Nygaard 08:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tismaneanu page

Bogdan, you reverted my changes to the two Tismaneanu pages. Did you read the discussion? Could you state your reasons? Thanks (Icar 13:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Image:Mustelus hacat 2003.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Mustelus hacat 2003.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — BigDT 03:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zoia Ceauşescu

uncommonly clean indeed. ha ha. The article was clearly NPOV but not being a Romanian myself I didn't dare alter it too much so I merely tagged it as NPOV and took the worst hagiography out of it. -- fdewaele, 5 January 2007, 14:15.

[edit] Dahn for admin?

These days I was wondering why Dahn is not yet an admin. He should assume more responsibilities in the community, to match his unbelievable contributions. Unfortunately, I don't see myself as a reputable user, so that proposing him myself might not give weight to the proposal. What do you think? Dpotop 19:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I'd nominate him, but he does not want to be an admin: User_talk:Dahn#Christian_Rakovsky. bogdan 20:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chisinau

Hi, I would like to know why you changed Chisinau to be written as Chiṣinau. I don't really have anything against that, but in English Ṣ doesn't exist, and this is an English language wikipedia. I'm new to the site, and maybe there was a discussion of this somewhere, if so please send me the link. If not, then i'd like to hear your reasoning. Nothing personal, I just want to know. Thank you, Comradevik 20:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for correcting some of the mistakes in the article Chisinau Botanical Garden.

Could You rewrite a little Anti-Romanian_discrimination#Yugoslavia_and_modern_Serbia? Seems the section needs it from an expert.

Happy holidays!--PaxEquilibrium 01:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War of Transnistria

An edit war is likely to start on War of Transnistria. An user is deleting a relevant paragraph claiming that it need repairs, without proposing repairs. I think will be good if you block the page until disputed problems are solved. Thanks.--MariusM 12:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Aw, that was not nice, Marius. :( "My opponent(s) is removing a large section that I have inserted because I believe that it's relevant. He/they claim that etc..." would be a much more honest statement. Still, Bogdan, I would value your opinion on that issue. --Illythr 20:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Personalities from Iasi"

Hi. Kindly tell User:Cristi.falcas why creating a list under the "Personalities from Iasi" as a duplicate of List of people from Iaşi is hogwash. He has initially attempted deleting from the List because he some of those people "had no contributions to Iaşi or Romania". When I told him that the criterion is merely "natives important enough to have an article on them", and not those of them whom Cristi.falcas would like to have on his t-shirt, he began pushing that abhorrent "extra" link in the Iaşi article (fortunately, it is still red). See my and his talk page for details. Dahn 18:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

He made it blue, and I redirected it. Bound to be more problematic than that, so please do intervene. Dahn 18:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I think your statment is somehow retarded. There is a reson why people like Maiorescu didn't glorify all the pitty poets in his time and selected a only few. The same reason applies in any field. There is a huge number of people who do something irrelevant that are not to be rememebered.

I understood what Dhan wanted from that list and this is why I created a new one. In this list is not my POV, but the people who are acknowledged by the majority of scholars in Romania. I think people like Palade are internationaly recognized so no POV can be raised and in the same time they don't deserve to be put with small people that had no real impact in Iasi or Romania. If someone thinks an entry is not relevant enough, we could discuss it, not just delete all the list.

By your on words, maybe I don't consider that Scarlat Callimachi is important enough to have an entry in wikipedia. If you say something else, it may be your POV, so you should be wrong. Or I can create a page with my f...king life and add me to the list of people from Iasi. Hey, I consider my self to be "really" important for Iasi, so I deserve it.

And to delete a list just because you think it's not what you want is absurd, considering what wikipedia is.

I would add the list again, so please give me an intelligent reason why it should go.

One last thing. The list is not a duplicate. In this list I only want to put people with major contributions. If someone thinks that there are omissions or some don't deserve to be in it, we can talk. Don't use wikipedia like your playground. Write a book if you don't want nobody contributing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cristi.falcas (talk • contribs) 19:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

All those "reasons" are non-sequiturs. Your list is abhorrent. Dahn 02:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey what's up.. I just noticed that you created a new Kurdish Turkish people cat. The idea is fine, but I think the syntax looks realy awkward. It looks too much like those X-American things. Don't you think another name would be better? Like "Kurdish Turks" or "Turks of Kurdish origin" or even "Kurdish-Turkish"? I don't have a clear idea either, and it looks like it could be a hard to find a suitable non-awkward name in any case. The same is true for cat Greek-Turkish people - that is also a bit awkward. So what do you think? Cheers! Baristarim 15:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

In fact, come to think of it I don't know if there could be any other way. However, if you have any further thoughts I would like to hear them, but if not, don't worry. Maybe I will raise this issue in WPTR talk page, but it is nothing big so it is not that important. Cheers! Baristarim 15:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Hey Bogdan, there's a statement with a {{fact}} tag at Wallachia#Name. If the statement is true, would you be able to add a source to it? Thanks, Khoikhoi 08:47, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, B, do you happen to have sources for checking and (perhaps) expanding the early part of the history section? I don't have much around, and, given that Greier was involved in writing it, I think it should be verified. Cheers. Dahn 09:02, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I have Gheorghe I. Brătianu's Tradiţia istorică despre întemeierea statelor româneşti, which has some pertinent information on its founding and early history. bogdan 10:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Great! Thanks. Dahn 10:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sfatul Tarii

Am observat articolul inceput de tine (lucru foarte diligent). Ar trebui editat (clean-up + adaugitri si linkuri) si articolul Moldavian Democrati Republic. Dar tu citezi o singura bibliografie. Stii de sursa aceasta? Daca vrei, putem sa ne impartim capitolele din cartea din link-ul de mai sus si sa facem cate un rezumat de 1-2 alineate la fiecare, pe care sa-l punem in aceste doua articole, sau unde o mai fi cazul. Daca gasesti surse in rusa (putin probabil, tema fiind tabu inainte de 1988), pot sa le traduc.:Dc76 03:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Lista de carti este impresionanta. Tu ai timp sa te duci la biblioteca sa cauti 10 carti doar pentru un articol in wikipedia? :-) Ai o dedicatie extraordinara! Cu parere de rau, eu nu ma aflu acum fizic in Romania sau Moldova, si nu prea cred ca bibliotecile de aici sa aiba ceva pe acest subiect. Daca vrei, hai sa facem asa:

• cand gasesti vreo sursa interesanta pe internet, unde trebuie citite vreo 10 pagini pentru a face un rezumat de 3-4 aliniate, as putea sa fac eu acest lucru. Pentru mine ar fi o lectura de relaxare
• daca ai nevoie de treduceri din rusa
• lucruri similare, care pot fi finalizate in 1-2 ore

Lasa-mi doar un mesaj pe talk-page-ul meu. Nu ma refer doar la Sfatul Tarii, ci si la alte articole. Las la latitudinea ta. Pentru mine wikipedia e o relaxare, nu ma ajuta profesional cu nimic, cu exceptia imbunatatirii culturii generale.

Acum nu am chiar destul timp pentru aşa ceva, dar poate că peste vreo lună-două, da. Dacă găsesc ceva interesant pe internet, îţi spun. bogdan 14:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

List of localities in Moldova este incompleta. Ai uitat:

• raionul Floresti (este altul decat Falesti, de fapt sunt relativ aproape unul de altul)
• municipiul Tighina (Bender)
• Transnistria. MariusM mi-a cerut o data lista localitatilor din transnistria: Talk:Transnistria/archive_10#Towns_and_villages_in_Transnistria :Dc76 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.225.20.50 (talk) 00:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Strigoi

I noticed your (rather old) comment noting that the page is incorrect when it says the word is derived from the Latin "strix." I've seen in several other wiki pages and elsewhere that Latin strix actually means owl, while Greek strix has more of the vampire connotation that the page is going for. Do you have any extra insight on that or on whether it would be better to change the line to say the word is descended from Latin striga, or change Latin to Greek and leave strix? Or maybe say both to cover all bases? -Bbik 18:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

The Latin word strix/striga is indeed borrowed from Greek, but the vampire myth was popularized by the Romans (see Latin strix/striga) and spread by them: stregheria (Italy), strigă, strigoi (Romania), shtriga (Albania). AFAIK, Romanians and Albanians couldn't have borrowed the words from ancient Greek because they had no linguistic contacts with the Greeks before the Middle Ages, so they got them via Latin. bogdan 18:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Getae

Hi, Bogdan. This edit by User:Daizus breaks wikipedia guidelines on original research, and I think an administrator should point that out to him as well (I have, but he answers besides the point). I have even given him a suggestion as to what he should be using for sources if he wants to add several perspectives on the matter, but he dismisses them repeatedly. Please se my comments on Talk:Getae#Merge with the Dacians. Dahn 16:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Could you also please see the recent squabble at Flag and coat of arms of Moldavia (note: it also appears that a large part of the newly--added photos are copyvios). Dahn 16:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested deletions

Greetings. May I suggest you look into deleting the following articles: Outsourcing romania, which looks like poor advertising, Florin de la Tirgu Jiu, who has no Google hits, and possibly Selecţia Naţională Eurovision 2007, which appears to be a duplicate of Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 (maybe a redirect for the last one)? Biruitorul 22:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you just beat me with Florin. Biruitorul 22:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. bogdan 22:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. While we're at it, what's the rule for localities - do you put the county or not? Or does it depend on whether there are more places with a single name? Among our newer articles, we have Păsăreni, but also Roznov, Neamţ and Scărlăteşti, Brăila. Biruitorul 22:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it depends on whether there are more places with the same name. bogdan 22:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Query about deletion of Freefall (webcomic)

Hello, I wonder why Freefall (webcomic) was deleted. As I cannot find the VFD page, I assume it was a speedy deletion. This is a little surprising since a little reseach on Wikipedia itself reveals that it meets the requirements for notability, being a Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards winner in the Outstanding Science Fiction Comic category in 2001, and nominee in that category in 2002, 2005 and 2006. It is also probably notable due to its longetivity, having started on 3/30/1998. Also, on Google it is the first result in a search for 'freefall'. Was there a VFD that I missed? Thank you. Aclapton 20:50, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I restored it. bogdan 20:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much, that was good of you. Aclapton 21:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last warning

got any proof anything is vandalism? shouldnt you be on Wiki Romania or is there not one? Zserango 22:44, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zserango

Hi, I noticed you blocked Zserango indefinitely, but put on his talk page that he has been temporarily blocked. From reading his edits, I get the idea that he does mean to improve Wikipedia (and fails to do so by choosing the wrong words, lacking sources and perhaps being a bit opinionated and rude). Since this was only the third day he was active (with that account (don't know if there are others)), perhaps a shorter period than indefinite is in order. V 00:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Most of his contributions were trolling and I think his intention was not to improve Wikipedia:

• Some of his contributions were "opinioned and rude", like you say: saying that the EU is communist, that Charles Kennedy is an alcoholic, naming Milosevic murdurous (sic!) etc.

• But in other contributions of his, he clearly added wrong information: saying that Reykjavik is the third largest city in Europe and adding false information to Labour Party, moving: 22:32, 27 January 2007 (hist) (diff) m Roxy Music (moved Roxy Music to Poxy Music: because theyir music is shite), etc.

• He also had some nonsensical additions and removals: he removed the Greek name of Thessaloniki and added the Hungarian name to Basque County.

[edit] AfD Nomination: List of historical confusions

An editor has nominated the article List of historical confusions for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of historical confusions. Add four tildes like this ~~~~ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article List of historical confusions during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] Image:Propaganda poster Ceausescu.jpg deleted at Commons

Even though you deleted Image:Propaganda poster Ceausescu.jpg on 13 October 2006 when moved to Commons with the same name, I, an admin here and at Commons, just found that the same thing was deleted from Commons on 24 January 2007 per commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Propaganda_poster_Ceausescu.jpg. Therefore, if we cannot be sure that it qualifies for PD-USGov, we can only claim fair use here, not at Commons.--Jusjih 13:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In His Likeness

Hi there, I was just told that I had been given a wiki and I was elated, and then found a few days later it had been deleted. It seems the person who created it didn't know any of my accolades. In His Likeness has had longevity as noted from an above deletion starting in 2003. It has been featured in the documentary '24 Hours Later' (http://www.24hourslater.com). It has been reviewed by the Comic Geek Speak podcast (episode 168, 233) as well as 'Digital Strips' in their first episode (www.digitalstrips.com/2006/09/webcomic-geek-speak-or-crossover.html) It has been syndicated on WYLFWT.COM, an entertainment & blog based site as well as MOODSPINS.COM. It is the fifth associated link for the word 'LIKENESS'. Finally, and most importantly, I was reviewed by the highly acclaimed and well circulated Knights Of The Dinner Table by Tony DiGerolamo (Issue #104) as can be easily seen at Tony's personal site: (http://www.thefixsite.com/sjrp/lookin.html). Do me a favor and email me if this isn't enough, as I know I'm currently being put into nomination for an Eagle award, but I'm not sure if I will be an official nom yet. Etc. Anyway my email is revvoice@gmail.com - thanks.

[edit] AfD nomination of IKEA in popular culture

An editor has nominated IKEA in popular culture, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IKEA in popular culture and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Thank you for uploading Image:Antonescu and hitler.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

How about improving Wikipedia, instead of deleting useful content? Did you read my rant btw? Maybe it'll change your opinion. I just don't want to write it all over again on the new AfD. Grue 17:33, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day should sum it up. As a usenet user myself, I know that most usenet fenomena are known just within a small community and have no reliable sources outside the usenet world or blogosphere and they're with nothing more notable than those things invented in school. It's the wikipedia policy to require reliable published sources. If you disagree with it, try to change it, but I guess that's pretty futile. bogdan 17:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mărţişor

If you are an admin, have a look on the article. Serious vandalism is visible, so it should be protected from editing. However, please consider adding a label about controversy. It is a rather world-wide view, that Martenitzas are Bulgarian, not Romanian (I am a Pole and have never heard of the Romanian origin of the custom before, while indeed I heard about the Bulgarian one). If anyone claims otherwise, they should document it (citations of some scientific publications etc.). Astat bg 20:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Leaota Mountains

Hi. Could you please look at the page on Leaota Mountains and see what (if anything) should be done? The page was created by User:Sorente under the name of Leaota, but I knew it was referred to in several other places as Leaotă Mountains, so I moved it there, and did some wikifying. (This is the first time I attempted to move a page, so I was, and still am nervous about the procedure). At any rate, I then noted that on ro.wiki the page is named Leaota, which on second thought also corresponds to my memory of the name. So, after after some more checks on the www, I decided it's better to go back to Leaota. Which I hope is OK, except now I see that all the history of the page is gone (ouch, I didn't think of that!), and so I feel quite bad about it, especially since the person who started the page evidently went through a lot of effort to put those very nice pictures there (which by the may may need to be shrunk at some point). So sorry to bug you with this (ahh, those diacritics!!), but is there any good way out of this jam? Thanks. Turgidson 01:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

While at it, I think Broscauti gotta be redirected to Broscăuţi, Botoşani. I took the info from the former and moved it to the latter (with some partial wikification and slight expansion), but after my experience with the Leaota Mountains (I'm still not sure what the status is there), I'm leery to make any sudden moves when it comes to diacritics-studded pages. Any words of wisdom on how to proceed? Thanks. Turgidson 03:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
