Getae-Dacians (Thracians) Religion

This pretty long article isn't linked from anywhere. It seems a work in progress or something. Pcap ping 01:36, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

It's also not just a sample of Protochronism at its worst, but also a violation of WP:SYNTH, WP:PSTS, WP:FRINGE and so on, beginning with the claim that the Getae and the Thracians and the Dacians are the same. The fact that it's being moved to mainspace while the guy is still working on it only adds to the matter: this, as far as I can tell, is a candidate for AfD, if not simply speedy deletion. Oh and: it doesn't help that the title is ungrammatical and the capitalization random... Dahn (talk) 02:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

The editor that created that also edited the article you redirected to rather recently, as well as other related articles. [1]. Some further scrutiny is probably warranted. Pcap ping 03:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Probably, considering the instant familiarity with the minute aspects of wikipedia and the manner in which Blurall makes his edits seem referenced. If I had to guess, I would tend to assume we're dealing with User:Dacodava. Dahn (talk) 18:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

The ethnicity of Iancu de Hunedoara

I've opened a thread about Iancu de Hunedoara's ethnicity on Fringe theory noticeboard: [2]. Iancu de Hunedoara is an important character in Hungarian and Romanian history, so maybe some editors will be interested (Umumu (talk) 07:55, 9 April 2010 (UTC))

Bot request related to this project

There is currently a bot request for a bot to create redirects to Romanian article titles containing the letters Ş and Ţ (S and T with cedilla) from the corresponding names using Ș and Ț (S and T with comma). If you have any opinion on this request, or any ideas on how to determine that a title is Romanian rather than Turkish, Kurdish, Zazaki, Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz, Tatar, or Turkmen (based on the list at Cedilla#Use of the cedilla with the letter S), please comment there. Thanks. Anomie⚔ 12:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Ceauşescu's trial: request for further opinion.

Hi. I came across the article about Nicolae Ceauşescu earlier today and removed a characterisation about his trial being in front of a "kangaroo court" for being unattributed and possibly politically motivated. This was reverted, and I've started a discussion on the talk page about the use of term. I really don't want to get entrenched in this fight again, so I plan so stay out of it and allow people with a greater knowledge of the subject, i.e. WP Romania, to discuss it among themselves. Thanks, Sceptre ^(talk) 21:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I have a question to inquire you with...

As far as I understand, this project is concerned with the expansion and addition of Romania-related articles on en.wikipedia. I have seen many articles on ro.wikipedia not respecting the policies (biased, not keeping a NPOV, unverifiable) or much too short. Would completing these with translated information from reliable articles on the en wiki be a good idea ? Sincerely, NikitaUtiu (talk) 19:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC).

Merging noticeboard here

I'm proposing to merge/move the archives of Wikipedia:Romanian Wikipedians' notice board and it's talk page here. Both worked as rather fragmented discussion areas. To the uninitiated outside this WikiProject, it wasn't/isn't at all apparent where to go. Those papge have also been inactive for a year, so I've marked them such a while back. A single archive search box would be nice too, it that looks more complicated than the WT:MATH one because the built-in search doesn't appear to handle multiple prefixes. So, we'd have to use the indexing bot like WT:MED. Pcap ping 17:13, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Since I see you're good with wikicode, could you make a template of sort to invite people from the old Noticeboard here (i.e. to put on their talk pages). I've seen several editors who had important contribution in the past and were members of the noticeboard, and who are probably not watching this page.Anonimu (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

I've added notices at the top to both the project and talk page of the old noticeboard [3] [4]. I don't think that spamming everyone involved is necessary; they can pick up the change from their watch list... Pcap ping 20:32, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Bot request related to this project

There is currently a bot request for a bot to create redirects to Romanian article titles containing the letters Ş and Ţ (S and T with cedilla) from the corresponding names using Ș and Ț (S and T with comma). If you have any opinion on this request, or any ideas on how to determine that a title is Romanian rather than Turkish, Kurdish, Zazaki, Azerbaijani, Crimean Tatar, Gagauz, Tatar, or Turkmen (based on the list at Cedilla#Use of the cedilla with the letter S), please comment there.

Ceauşescu's trial: request for further opinion.

Hi. I came across the article about Nicolae Ceauşescu earlier today and removed a characterisation about his trial being in front of a "kangaroo court" for being unattributed and possibly politically motivated. This was reverted, and I've started a discussion on the talk page about the use of term. I really don't want to get entrenched in this fight again, so I plan so stay out of it and allow people with a greater knowledge of the subject, i.e. WP Romania, to discuss it among themselves. Thanks, Sceptre ^(talk) 21:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I have a question to inquire you with...

As far as I understand, this project is concerned with the expansion and addition of Romania-related articles on en.wikipedia. I have seen many articles on ro.wikipedia not respecting the policies (biased, not keeping a NPOV, unverifiable) or much too short. Would completing these with translated information from reliable articles on the en wiki be a good idea ? Sincerely, NikitaUtiu (talk) 19:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC).

Question about famine in WWI Romania

Are there any online sources regarding famine in Romania during WW1 and its causes?--MyMoloboaccount (talk) 20:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Civilian deaths in Romania (1914 borders) exceeded the prewar level by 430,000, caused by food shortages, epidemics and the Spanish Flu

Source

Hersch, Liebmann, La mortalité causée par la guerre mondiale, Metron- The International Review of Statistics, 1927, Vol 7. No 1. This study published in an academic journal detailed the demographic impact of the war on France, the UK, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Serbia, Romania and Greece. The total estimated increase in the number of civilian deaths during the war was 2,171,000, not including an additional 984,000 Spanish Flu deaths. These indirect war losses were due to the severe shortages caused by the disruption of trade. The article is available from Metron, the publisher

I have the full text of the article and can read French

--Woogie10w (talk) 20:19, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

The territory of Transylvania was part of Austria-Hungary during World War I. The following estimates of Romanian deaths, within contemporary borders, during World War I were made by a Russian journalist in a 2004 handbook of human losses in the 20th century. Total dead 748,000: including military losses 220,000 with the Romanian forces and 150,000 with the Austro-Hungarian forces and POW deaths in captivity of 48,000. Civilian dead were as follows due to famine and disease 200,000, killed in military operations 120,000 and 10,000 dead in Austrian prisons Source Erlikman, Vadim (2004).

Was the famine caused by confiscation of food by Central Powers? --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 22:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Here is a summary of what Liebmann wrote

1-data for Romania is incomplete and problematical

2-details the statistics on population are given

3-Epedimics of Cholera and typhus are mentioned as causes of increased mortality along with war in general

4-Enemy Occupation is mentioned as a cause in general. No mention of food confiscations

However I do have a source on the Austrian occupation of Serbia that mentions mass starvation and famine caused by limited rations provided by the occupation forces and the forced confiscations of food and other materials. Also the Austrians subjected Serbia to a reign of terror that provoked a guerilla movement in Serbia. The Red Cross was in Serbia and reported on the horrific famine and epedemics during the occupation

Romania articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Romania articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Consistency in city/town naming

For cities, we have:

• Alexandria, Romania
• Arad, Romania
• Brad, Hunedoara
• Caracal, Romania
• Deva, Romania
• Roman, Romania
• Slatina, Romania
• Vulcan, Hunedoara

For towns:

• Amara, Romania
• Băneasa, Constanţa
• Deta, Romania
• Dragomireşti, Maramureş
• Lipova, Arad
• Livada, Satu Mare
• Negru Vodă, Constanţa
• Novaci, Romania
• Pantelimon, Ilfov
• Roznov, Neamţ
• Ştefăneşti, Botoşani
• Ştefăneşti, Argeş
• Ulmeni, Maramureş
• Ungheni, Mureş
• Victoria, Braşov

I'm not sure if this is a problem, but if it is, for cities maybe we should do "city, Romania" and for towns, "town, county". This would require moves to Brad, Romania and Vulcan, Romania on the one hand, and to Amara, Ialomiţa, Deta, Timiş and Novaci, Gorj on the other. Thoughts? - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:37, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Ideally, "XXXX, Romania" should be used for names where there are other places of the same name only outside of Romania (e.g., Alexandria, Roznov). "XXXX, [County]" should be used for names where there is more than one place of the same name inside Romania (e.g., Dragomirești, Livada, Ulmeni). However, in cases where one city is much larger than other places of the same name (e.g. Slatina), "XXXX, Romania" might be better. Others cases where there is only one city of the name but several other entries that are not cities (e.g., Caracal, Deta, Negru Vodă) should use the form "XXXX (city)" but "XXXX, Romania" is probably OK, too. With this approach, the disambiguator provides the optimum amount of clarity. —  AjaxSmack  00:49, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Romanian villages

The general rule applicable in en:Wiki is that any settlement which can be localized on a map qualifies for an article. However, this rule has been unilaterally and heavy-handedly considered unapplicable to Romania and Moldova where the articles have been limited to communes, while villages are only accepted as paragraphs of the communes articles. I objected to this and opened a discussion on the matter in the Village Pump under the title Villages. Though the discussion reached no consensus, it has been swept under the carpet and archived, without any administrator drawing anz conclusion.

That is why I am opening the discussion here, as it should be of more interest to WikiProject Romania.

1. While for other countries, for instance Germany, separate articles for even very small communities of around 30-50 inhabitants exist, for Romania articles for villages of several thousand inhabitants have been merged into the commune articles. There is no explanation why Wikipedia should consider Romanian villages less important than German ones. It casts an extremely negative image on Romania and Moldova. 2. Even more strangely, the rule does not apply to other countries in the region, such as Ukraine for instance. Therefore en:Wiki is now in the absurd situation in which a village in Southern Bucovina (Romania) does not qualify for a separate article, while a village in Northern Bucovina (Oblast Chervovtsy - Cernăuţi) can have a separate article. What makes these villages which have a similar history and culture so different, as to justify their being subject to different rules? Why is a village in Northern Bucovina more important than one in Southern Bucovina? 3.In Romania, communes are territorial units while villages are settlements. They are different entities. There is no reason to merge the articles on villages into paragraphs of communes. The history and culture of rural Romania is linked to the settlements which have existed for a long time before communes were established. The merging of the settlements with the administrative units presents a wrong image on the importance of the settlements in Romanian history and culture. 4. Villages are legal entities, which are established by laws, generally passed by the Parliament of Romania. If a village (not a commune) is important enough to justify a law, why is it not important enough to justify a separate article.

I consider that the rule as presently applied for the villages of Romania and Moldova is arbitrary and discriminatory, that it reflects a negative view on the settlements of these countries, depicting them as less worthy than similar entities in other countries. I therefore suggest that the general rule of allowing separate articles for any geographically identifiable settlement should be applied to Romania and Moldova too. I do not consider that these two countries are in any way second degree countries whose settlements are less important and deserve less attention. Afil (talk) 20:50, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

I think the idea is to expand first the communes articles. Most of them are stubs right now and adding more village stubs won't help a lot. Then, once they are large enough and there is still more to say about specific, notable villages, break it down and start creating the articles for those villages. I don't know about any rules that specifically do not allow having village articles. I suggest you also check with User:Biruitorul. He is very acquainted with the subject.--Codrin.B (talk) 05:16, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. Biruitorul is not acquainted with the subject and is not open to any kind of discussion. The problem I am raising is the following: There are two different types of entities, defined as such in the Romanian legislation: communes which are territorial units, smaller than counties. Villages are settlements. The way this is presented in Wikipedia at present creates a confusion in the mind of persons who are not aware of this difference. In many cases territorial units have the same name whith settlement, which isthe seat of the unit. This happens in many countries. But having the same name should not pe construed as an equivalence. Whether it is a stub or not, a commune is a territorial unit and a village is a settlement. Wikipedia should make this clear, not confuse people who are reading it.Afil (talk) 21:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I am surprised. He worked on many communes articles. Anyways, I certainly think that it will be great to create articles for all communes and all individual villages. I understand your points and I am looking forward to see what articles you plan to create for villages and willing to help. But if you plan just to create thousands of stubs, I am not sure how will that help the reader. I think the key is creating content. Unfortunately very few times the stubs get expanded and they end up collapsed into parent articles. My main focus at this is on ancient history and archaeology, trying to categorize and organized archaeological sites and discoveries. In the need to point the reader to the right village I also created a lot of redirects for village names to commune articles. Also many times I categorize commune and village data on commons. For example: commons:Category:Villages in Alba County. These are small steps towards having detailed articles on communes and villages. We are talking about a lot of work if we want to do this right.--Codrin.B (talk) 17:15, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

RFC ar Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English)

There has been a brewing issue at WP:RM over WP:HOCKEY recommendations and how they should be applied over WP:COMMONNAME and WP:UE. Basically the hockey recommendation is that Diacritics shall be applied to all player pages, where appropriate as for the languages of the nationalities of the players in question. This is in fact a mandate that does not allow consideration of any other policy on naming. I think we need to resolve the issue of which naming convention we use for ice hockey players. Is it the one for the names of everyone else based on existing policy and guidelines, or do we have a blanket exception for one project?

About this picture: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/21966656

• And this one too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/southbound228/1500123315/

Is it the international departures hall?

As the image description of the Flickr image says, it IS the int'l departures terminal.

I know TAROM has its head office there (this says "International Departures Terminal, 2nd floor"). I assume the "TAROM" is there to mark the building as housing the head office

So do we have a photo of it? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:45, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Bucharest does not have a formal division into quarters or neibourghoods. The only legal administrative division is into sectors. The postal code 013812 is also in sector 1 (based on the second digit). Razvan Socol (talk) 08:11, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

After looking at the above articles, I think that a mention of the headquarters sector is not relevant in the lead paragraph (it's enough to mention Bucharest). Razvan Socol (talk) 08:19, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, since that is pretty much settled, I'll bring an interesting issue: Commons:Template:PD-RO-photo -- I modified it to include the updates in the 2004 law on copyright. It seems that all photos taken and published in Romania before 1986/1991 are Public Domain. bogdan (talk) 23:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about this one. See http://legi-internet.ro/blogs/media/blogs/a/Questionnaire%202%20-%20Romania-%20final.pdf especially the last four pages. The main issue is the initial wording of article 149 paragraph 3 in the Law 8 of 1996. I would like to believe the analysis in the mentioned page is correct, but I'm not certain. Razvan Socol (talk) 07:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

The initial wording (the one from 1996) has currently no effect, having been overwritten by the modifications from 2004. bogdan (talk) 09:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

We need a good lawyer ;-) I wish these copyright laws would be more clear. Whatever the final conclusions are, please update commons:Commons:Copyright tags#Romania so we know which license applies when. Right now honestly I don't understand which one to use. --Codrin.B (talk) 19:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Bogdan, since my previous message, I found out about this court decision, which mentions the updated version of the article 149 paragraph 3, as if it was applicable since 1996. So, except the possible breach by Romania of the EU copyright directive (mentioned at Commons:Commons_talk:Licensing#Romania_-_extension_of_copyright), I find no reason against using the Commons:Template:PD-RO-photo template (for now). Razvan Socol (talk) 07:54, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Just one more point: we need to make sure that the photo was really published before 1986 or 1991, not just taken before that date. If (before being published in 2008 by IICCR) the photos were held in an archive that was not accesible by the public, they do not seem published to me.

The pics from IICCR appear to be press photos and it's quite likely they have been published by Agerpress back then, but yeah, this can be an issue. bogdan (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

If you check the discussion thread on Commons, this doesn't appear to be settled at all. If any of you can bring more clarification/information to that discussion, that would be great. --Codrin.B (talk) 03:18, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Romania-related categories for autotagging bots

Hi all! There are a number of WikiProject tagging bots out there which can help with the tedious task of adding WikiProject tags to the Romania-related article talk pages. As you know, having {{WikiProject Romania}} on relevant articles has many benefits, including the automatically generated Assessment table, Article alerts and so on. The mentioned bots usually operate based on a list of categories related to a certain topic. I compiled a list of Romania related categories and I would like to get the members' feedback/approval on this, before I submit it to the bots. Thanks!--Codrin.B (talk) 22:00, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Note: I used CatScan to get the list, but apparently it can only go 4 categories deep, resulting in just a subset of relevant categories. Anyone has some technical solutions for this?--Codrin.B (talk) 22:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Support - per above.--Codrin.B (talk) 22:00, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
