I noticed that you have uploaded some pictures under the GPL, and I believe I have heard that the GPL is not compatible with the GFDL. Did you confuse the two or did you really mean the GPL? Thanks, Dori | Talk 00:31, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
Great image! (and I agree it must be PD after 3400 years). But do you maybe have a source? I would like to know which tablet it is, or at least from where the photograph is taken. cheers, dab 15:10, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
hi there Bogdan, how should the copyvio situation regarding Sibiu article be solved ? Criztu 16:14, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Your vote for African art has helped bring about the article's selection as this week's Collaboration of the week. Please join in trying to make the article a feature.
Thanks for uploading Image:Gagauzia.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell ( talk) ( help)[[]] 15:50, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man ( comment| talk) 18:27, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)
Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes -- Tagishsimon (talk)
Hey, Bogdan. Are you online. I want to ask you if you know where to contact some exceptional Romanian linguists with some extra time on their hands. Hey, my ideas seem pretty wild, but then again.(Decius)
Thanks Bogdan. Decius 00:03, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
You say that you are in Bucharest. I notice Sorin Olteanu is also in Bucharest. Since every time I email him his email doesn't work, I was wondering if you could try to email him for me, and tell him if he has time to read parts of the discussion page for the List of Dacian Words article, because 'Decius' invites him and would like his opinion. Thanks, if possible. Decius 06:41, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
His email is [email protected] Decius 00:32, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Then I guess his email doesn't work. I wanted to make sure it isn't my connection being the problem. Decius 23:21, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Bogdan, thanks a lot for adding the template to Olimp and Co (I couldn't figure how to do it...) As for the list itself, my preference would be Mamaia, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Costinesti, Olimp, Neptun, Jupiter, (maybe Cap Aurora), Venus, Saturn, 2 Mai, Vama Veche, since these are the "traditional" summer destinations. In other words, I would leave Mangalia out (like Constanta). On a different topic, is this page the proper place to speak Romanian, or you have another page for that? Thanks, Dmaftei 19:05, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)
Hi. I don't know how often you visit the List of European cities with alternative names these days, but there has been a controversy on its talk page for the past ten days or so, and I was wondering if you would care to review it and possibly intervene. Thank you. Pasquale 18:11, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Could you please weigh in again at Talk:Nicolae_Ceausescu#Death_photo? Ratza again wants to include the photo. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:52, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)
Out of interest, are you sure Silvia Marcovici is Jewish? I couldn't find anything online. Juko 00:38, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi,
It's a very useful image. I notice though, that the concentric circles are centered at the northern tip of Sumatra. Is it possible to make them centered around the actual epicenter of the earthquake? -- Curps 11:35, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi Bogdan, can you please colour the western part of Malaysia (Sarawak) as the map indicates that that area wasn't a part of the country. Thanks. =) -- Andylkl 14:49, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
FYI: An anon user reverted your map back to the last "Burma" version. I don't know how to un-revert it to "Myanmar", or I'd do it myself. Tverbeek 01:39, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi, nice job on the map. Good enough, in fact, that it's been picked up by Radio Free Asia to use in an article about the earthquake on their website [3]. Thought you might be interested to know that your work is getting picked up by other media. -- Michael Snow 01:34, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Like the people above, I found you through your earthquake map. It's quite nice, although the circumstances of its creation are tragic.
Anyway, I looked at your user page to see if you had done any other maps, which lead me to User:Bogdangiusca/Foto. When I got there, it was all lined up down the right side of the page and the headings were all off, so I... er... reformatted it. It's now using the new <gallery> tag. I hope you don't mind. -- Cyrius| ✎ 20:50, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
League of Nations is the new Collaboration of the Week. Please join in helping make it a feature article.
I was hoping you might drop by Talk:Romanian Revolution of 1989 and take a look at the still-disputed matters. We're making some progress, but the article remains a bit of a mess, and at least half a dozen issues are actively disputed. My guess is that you might have a clue on some of these, or know who else would. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:25, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
Your image Image:Harta Ocean Indian Quake.png was used on the website of Radio Free Asia, here, as noticed by User:Jdforrester.

I didn't write that paragraph in the Thracian language article: it was there before I made my first contribution to that page. If you're going to accuse, first make sure, that's why the History pages are there. Decius 03:26, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Hi, do you, perhaps, have a high-res photo of the Schopenhauer painting you uploaded? If you do, please reply here or at ivan-AT-apnoia.org
thanx!

I'm kind of embarassed to ask this, but to put it bluntly I don't know too much about computers. I downloaded that Sorin Paliga file but I can't figure out what program to open it with. If you're still there, and if it's not too much of an explanation, I was wondering if you could tell me how to open the files so I can read them. When it comes to computers, I'm pretty much a caveman in the stone age. Decius 16:39, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I appreciate it. Decius 17:34, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your change to Votive deposit. You left it with a link to Aghia Paraskevi which is an article about a corner of Greece written by a well known Wiki chatterer User talk:Pumpie. I cannot decide whether the link should point to Agia Paraskevi (disambiguation) (note Agia not Aghia) a page which does exist or to Aghia Paraskevi (saint) which does not exist yet.
Incidentally do you know what the technical term (in Greek or Romanian) is for those little metal votive plates? -- RHaworth 18:37, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
Alright, I finally got to open the file 20 minutes ago, and I read some of it, and I like what I see: Paliga comes to some of the same conclusions that I came to independently: 'abur' possibly being derived from 'apa'(though I also have a second option); 'balaur' being from 'bhel-', though this one was already known by others before; and so on. I've seen some stuff I disagree with (I think many of my interpretations are better for instance), but overall it looks great, and he's doing good work: there is hope for the revision of Romanian linguistics. I also see that some obvious connections were missed: 'baiat' is still a mystery to him, but I've clearly found the cognate for that. Anyway, thanks again. Decius 22:55, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I also see that he also noticed that Dusman is obviously NOT from turkish, but from IE, and he cites the anc. Greek word 'Dusmenes' with the exact same meaning, as I did independently: yet he beleives the word is not from Greek. In my opinion, it's more likely from Greek, but was borrowed in Dacian times. In 20 years, you won't be seeing any Romanian dictionaries saying this word is necessarily from "turkish". I've only read parts of the file so far. Decius 23:35, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Tnx for your corrections to the names. As I expanded the article and added few more names, I thought you may want to read it again, perhaps fix some more names, add ilinks, etc. I will be moving to 1620-1630 decade soon. Oh, and pehaps the section on Stefan Batory may be of interest to you too. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:30, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I have seen your vector-based map of Dacia, and I was wondering if you have similar images for larger areas; specifically maps of Europe with the major rivers that could be used as a basis for maps like Image:Kurgan map.png and Image:Viking Age.png (I'm a bit unhappy with the latter, because I just copied the river courses manually, which makes it look a bit ugly and inaccurate). Larger maps for the base of maps like Image:Uralic-Yukaghir.png would also be nice (for these (pre-)historical maps, it's nice to just have the major rivers, and maybe some shaded topography, but no modern borders etc.) regards, dab (ᛏ) 09:23, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Good idea, that needed an article. Decius 13:41, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
In case you didn't notice: A (very tiny) version of your Image:Hanul Manuc afara.jpg was on the front page when Manuc's Inn's was featured in the Template:Did you know section. Very fast work on adding the picture :) 68.81.231.127 13:26, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
