Bogdan, there seems to be a new Bonnie sockpuppet around: User:Wallak. He has already done quite enough damage - check out his edits on Template:Romanian historical regions, Vlachs of Serbia, Romanian language, Budjak etc etc. He broke 3RR a multitude of times, added OR and POV, redirected content based on his own reading of sources that I've proven not to substantiate his point, and attacked many users in several ways. I wanted to start a formal process about his edits as tiresome as that may be, but I wonder if I wouldn't be wasting my time. Do you think a checkuser is in order? Dahn 19:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

All this revolving around the Romanian language has got me thinking.
You have done a very good job on that article and the related ones (though the series of hypes has brought its quality back to below-standard), and you are clearly the person to ask about things going in and where. I remember seeing that edit war about Slavic influences and whatnot, and most of it was indeed revertible. However, the notion is not at all unorthodox, and it seems common sense that such articles or their affluents should at least look into the debates that involved and/or shaped the Romanian language. Readers should have a glimpse into the Hasdeus, the Cihacs, the Asachis, the Laurians, the Heliades, the Eminescus - all in one place. I'm thinking specifically about an overview of Italianization, (neo-)Latinization, and Francization, as well as of the fact that linguists have not been able to ignore that the archaic lexis was so very Slavic. I'm also thinking about the theory of "words in circulation".
This may already be detailed somewhere (I have not checked all the ins and outs), but it could be summarized in the main article, and, if not, could lead to a different article (for which we already have some sourced material in related ones). I have already touched on this subject in my discussions with Biruitorul, but there is no plan outlined yet.
You can answer whenever you have the time or simply ignore the proposal. Now, in case you agree that this is something to consider, I would love if you would comment on it. There is, of course, no rush. Cheers, Dahn 22:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I know I said I no longer buy Caţavencu, but I've had time to return to the classics what with the political developments of last year. Anyways, the last issue has two articles about wikipedia. One is something about Loredana Groza's page on rowiki - they presume that the glorification signifies it was authored by the girl with the diamond socks herself, but I'd bet my money on her brother Cristi. The other one is of more general interest, and refers to this (in case this isn't already old news to you, do scroll down to the bottom and read all the episodes - it's mind-blowing).

Latin Union is mostly a linguistical organisation, as you can see on their website, they promote the teaching of the Romance languages, they make studies on this languages, deal with terminology issues. It is somewhat like the CPLP or La Fracophonie and at first I also didn't wanted to include it, but I thoght it is a organisation especially created for the Romance languages and that is why it should be included. It is not like the International Olympic Comitee or the Postal Union, it deals with this language. -- Danutz —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danutz ( talk • contribs) 15:07, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

In the beginning of the article Macedonian language are listed only several countries with significant number of Macedonian language speakers or countries where Macedonian has official status like Albania. In Bulgaria there are about 3,000 people who declare their mother tongue as Macedonian according to two last Bulgarian censuses. Therefore Bulgaria is on 14th place in the world by number of Macedonian language speakers (see table "Regions with significant populations" in the article Macedonians (ethnic group)). It is not relevant to include it in the list of countries with numerous Macedonian language speakers. Please, don't do that again in the future. - Jackanapes 16:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Bogdan. I've read somewhere that in the first half of the 20th century there were some original desires that whole of geographic Banat should become part of Romania. Is that some truth in there?
Also, I'd if you could shed some clouded things (there are disputes over several Austro-Hungarian articles in Wikipedia) regarding the dissolution of Austria-Hungary (and it includes Transylvania and Banat), but before I ask you - how good are you at 1918?

Hi there, Bogdan. I've been fiddling around with the Wikimedia error message page (again), and one of the things I'm doing is adding Romanian to it (among other languages). However, my request for translations of a couple of sentences on meta has not been met with anyone doing Romanian. Would you be able to help me?
I need the following two sentences translated from English to Romanian (it doesn't have to be exact, it's the meaning which is most important):
In addition, could you proof-read the following translations which I already have for Romanian:
Finally, if possible, could you specify which part (if any) of that very last sentence (above) should be a link corresponding to "try again", for a link to reload the page?
Thanks for having a look at this. Wikimedia loves you! - Mark 04:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems that User:Elmao was able to start CfDs to move all references to Târgu Mureş to Tîrgu Mureş. He did this based on an absurd reasoning outlined here - note that he was the only one to comment there.

Salut. Sunt in articolul despre patriarhul teoctist niste acuzati nefondate cum ca ar fi fost homosexual si legionar, pe care eu le-am sters, si tu le-ai pus la loc. Ceeace se spune la sectiune de controverse sunt neadevarate si jicnitoare. Raportul la care face referire este era facatura a comunistilor ca sa denigreze personalitatea patriarhului si ca sa fie folosit ca santaj, asa cum faceau adesea comunistii, in special cu detinutii politici. NU ca si cum erau niste adevaruri. Este neadevarat si dureros ce scrie la acea sectiune. Patriarhul nu a fost homosexual, nici legionar iar treaba cu sinagoga e aiurea. Nici comunitatea evreiasca nu accepta aceasta dezinformare. De parca el nu avea altceva de facut decat sa devasteze sinagogi.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Roman-Iliescu-telephone.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

The user in question seems to have a problem comprehending the English language, as well as what the law say about the role of the Romanian language; he had a similar problem before, when trying to interpret Wiki policies regarding communication in other languages than English (something you have volunteered to assist him with). This time, he has decided to remove the mention of Romanian as an official language, which of course is a statement supported by Moldovan laws that are still valid. When I reverted, the user in question told me to discuss the issue on the talkpage. Wikipedia guidelines say that if one wants to make a controversial change, he should first discuss it on the talkpage. The change was made by the user in question, not by me; therefore, it is he who should have attempted to discuss the matter on the talkpage, before trying to implement the changes. The user has asked you for your opinion on your talkpage and you have answered him that Romanian should be left as a note in case people just scan for some quick information. I have argued the same. The user's argument is flawed in the sense that if Romanian is not to be deemed as partially official, then not only the name should be removed, but also the footnote; if, however, the footnote should remain, then his argument, saying that only Moldovan is deemed as the official language, is void, because the footnote says otherwise. Since you are a moderator, a linguist familiar with this topic, and since you have helped the user to cause damage to my integrity--and as such, befriended him--, I believe that you should deal with this on your own. I will now retreat from this dispute and leave all the moral responsibilities that relate to this topic, lay on your shoulders. -- Thus Spake Anittas 18:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gheorghiu Dej inchisoare.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:58, 23 October 2007 (UTC).

Acest lucru îl arată în cartea sa "Orizonturi roşii", fostul general de Securitate, Ion Mihai Pacepa, şi rezultă şi din alte documente date la iveală după decembrie 1989."; "Guvernul israelian nu a dat curs acestei propuneri, dar în urma unor asemenea înscenări, în anul 1984 Episcopul Valerian s-a retras de la conducerea Episcopiei". Oh, mamma. (I'm not going to comment on the use of words such as "dimpreună".)

Thanks for uploading Image:Transnistria ethnicity.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.
