| I say "ping-pong" because I have an annoying request myself, with a slight touch of urgency no less: ]. At this point I'm not after a radical rewrite (though that's welcome if you so desire!), but rather DYK eligibility. That means multiple sources - shall we say say Djuvara and Giurescu? Essentially, your job would be to add in a few footnotes - for instance if Djuvara mentions the events of April 8-9, put in a note at the end of that paragraph; or one at the ''Dorinţele partidei'' section from Giurescu. I could probably even do something myself from our articles on Ghica and Kogălniceanu, but I prefer entrusting this to you, as you have the books yourself - right? ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 21:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :Hitchins (presumably not an Orthodox) uses "Constantinople", which does appear in other writings on the Principalities, which was the official and international name (for instance, I just checked and found that the ''NYT'' first used "Istanbul" in 1928), and which is by to refer to the city for as late as , but be that as it may. | |||

| :Things have been fairly quiet on the Romanian front, though we now have articles on the ], ] and, dearest to me, '']'' (I didn't think I could manage an article on such an intangible subject, but there you go.) Ah, and the Moldova business continues. See for instance - I can accept that culture east of the Prut differs in certain respects from west (though some actual sources would be nice), but it's this pretence that the two have ''absolutely nothing in common'' that's maddening. For instance the claim that "interwar Romanian rule brought Romanianization campaigns" - against Slavs, maybe, just as happened against Hungarian institutions in Transylvania; but just as no one accuses the post-1918 government of conducting "Romanianization campaigns" against Transylvania's Romanians, so too I think it's difficult to claim Romania was seeking to "Romanianize" the Moldovans/Romanians. Actually they didn't much care about them either way. But the reader is left with the impression that the Prut forms an impregnable wall of separation and that Bucharest suddenly came in to impose its culture on native people there, which is, shall we say, a bit misleading. ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 00:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC) | |||

Ungaretti became a friend of Mussolini (but when he was socialist), and formally U. subscribes the ''manifesto'' of the Fascist Italian writers, but, as explained on the biography of Piccioni, in spite of the friendiship with M., he was not a supporter of his Blackshirts and National Fascist Party, and sometimes he was imprisoned for subversive talkings against Fascism (also if every time Mussolini set free him).

| Hi Dahn, hope you're well. With this message I expose myself further as a talk page stalker, hope you don't mind... Above you mentioned Arcanum, a great resource that I am surprised I had never heard about before. I've found there many newspapers talking about marginal figures, which probably duplicates the amount of sources about them that I thought existed. One such figure is George Ceara (or Ceară), an Aromanian poet. He seems to be related to a modern Aromanian poet, Ilie A. Ceara (or Ceară, likewise). I had planned writing a page for George for months but couldn't find any source explaining their relation. Only once I found a book snippet which I dismissed anyway because I think I deemed it to be inappropriate (maybe it was a primary source, I don't remember anymore) believing I could find something better, but I haven't been able to. Could you help me out? I see both have many results in Arcanum, does any explain the relation between the two? Regards, ] ] ] 12:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC) | |||

| 1. Interestingly, my grandfather, born a month before Baconsky, also attended Alecu Russo High School from 1936-44, and the two remained good friends until the latter's death. My grandfather helped bury Baconsky, and I see no place of burial is given in the article - I've forgotten myself already, but it's in Bucharest (not Bellu). | |||
| {| style="width: 100%;" | |||
| 2. Speaking of cemeteries, I paid two visits to ] of late, in search of the grave of the protesters killed in the monarchist demonstration of 8 November 1945 (it's on the of the Ministry of Culture). Half a dozen people (administrators included) gave me either blank stares or curt dismissals. Maybe in half a century they'll publish a brochure, and in another century have a website. Meanwhile, albeit with no picture, maybe I could start an article - Cioroianu mentions it, as does a biography of the King. Both of my grandmothers were sixteen at the time - one, then in Bucharest, still recalls the perception that it was a key stage in the silencing of the opposition, while the other, then in Brăila, took part in a large march of schoolchildren, students and workers shouting "Re-ge-le Mi-hai! Re-ge-le Mi-hai!" (A classmate noticed an agent taking down student identification numbers, and quickly ripped the armband off my grandmother.) ''Anyway'': should this article be born, what title would you suggest? "8 November 1945 demonstration in Bucharest" sounds awfully prosaic; "Saint Michael's day protest", while nicer, is unfortunately a neologism. | |||

| I must have seemed inconsiderate to all the people who have waited for me to reply to their messages over these past weeks - in particular Plinul, Biruitorul, KL, and Egonon (but also all those who have contacted me elsewhere). I apologize to all of you for not being able to keep as steady a presence as I would have otherwise and for only prioritizing edits which took the least concentration and effort (which should explain my sporadic presence these last days). I had a rough time in real life (as some of you may already know), have had some computer problems, and I'm leaving town for the next week. I really do miss wiki activity and wish I could get back sooner, but I unfortunately cannot promise a more regular and implicated presence until around August 20. | |||
| :{{ping|Norden1990}} A general advice, if I may: the sources I used in writing the Jewish Party article have more in-depth coverage about the Fischers than the prose required there. I would suggest that, instead of repeating the content you have found in the article, you have a fresh look at the sources cited which you can check yourself (Frojimovics ''et al'', presumably), and complete the research with detail that should not go into the party article, but needs to appear in a biography. Otherwise, the article just looks like a transplant of info. ] (]) 13:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC) | |||

| Hello, | |||
| quite honestly I don't find my ref formatting very different from what was used until then: in any case, when the full bibliographic details are given, cite templates should be used, and for a single footnote it wouldn't fit to include that info in "References". As for the German source I've added, indeed, it's what Balkanski has cited and I have no access to it and its full bibliographic data. | |||
| I don't see how Cyrillic's wrong either — having to include transliterations/translations is tedious, listing names in Latin and the title in Cyrillic is mixing up and doesn't really appeal to me, and if one's to read the book, they'd have to be able to read Bulgarian Cyrillic anyway. | |||
| As for Kroraina/Promacedonia, don't be fooled, these are just an online library of sorts, not political websites or anything, they just republish some scanned and OCR-ed books online. I don't see how citing a published source fails ], the link to the "web edition" is just for easy access by the reader, and Balkanski is a well-respected scholar in that field. If you don't like that easy access, you can remove the link, but that won't help anyone. | |||
| I'm sorry if the small differences in the reference formatting have bothered you, personally, I don't quite find it such a big deal, but I can understand your pedantry :) All the best and keep up the good work, '']]]'' 10:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : Of course, keeping all the citations uniformly formatted is an important matter, and I understand your remarks fully. Promacedonia and Kroraina are two mirrors of the same online library assembled by the same person. Both texts (Miletich's and Balkanski's) have been published (as have been all books on those websites), and both are very eminent scholars (Miletich is one of my favourite researchers in terms of topics of interest and treatment, if that matters). In particular, Miletich's study on the late medieval Slavic documents from Romania was published in 1896 and the author died in 1937, so it should be public domain. Now, Balkanski's scanned book from 1996 is technically a copyvio, but I see the websites as an online library of some sort, and I have no problem with that personally. Whether such publications should be linked from Misplaced Pages is another thing, but that has little to do with the credibility of both publications, which is beyond doubt. | |||
| : Don't worry about anything, it's OK to discuss that and your remarks are absolutely reasonable. I also greatly enjoy your articles and the way you work has always impressed me. The current trend to co-operate across the Danube is very admirable: as you said, we did indeed have a lot in common, and we all need to work together to kick misconceptions out. | |||
| : By the way, the Black Church has one of the most awe-inspiring entrance gates I've seen. I'm totally in love with practically all the old architecture of Romania (from the Putna and Neamţ monasteries through the wooden churches and vernacular architecture to the fortified villages and Gothic and Baroque influences in Transylvania). I'm definitely going to visit all those places some day, but at the moment I lack the time and resources for such a journey :) '']]]'' 12:12, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :: Indeed, it would be the best possible solution to reach out and co-operate. We all have to look beyond the stereotypes and inveterate viewpoints of our past in order to work together effectively. I'm trying to do that with contributors of all nationalities, but it is not always easy: for some contributors, particularly Turks and Macedonians, keeping the feelings aside is a difficult thing. | |||
| :: I'm not entirely sure whether the Cyrillic approach is the best one—but it does its job, it is trustable and it can't be done wrongly, unlike transliteration and frivolous translation. | |||
| :: I've heard a lot of good comments about Sibiu and it does look better preserved than Braşov. They don't seem to be that far apart, however, in order to choose between them: the choice would most likely be between Moldavia + Maramureş or Banat. I won't miss central Transylvania and for the time being Bucharest is a must not just because it is a must-see, but because one has to go all the way east to Rousse to use the ].

| :: Plovdiv owns Sofia in pretty much every respect… I don't really like Sofia. I don't know how it appears to visitors, but for someone who's bound to living and commuting there, it's a nightmare. The epithets "grown ugly, dirty, flashy, exhausting and aggravating" I'd apply to Sofia without even thinking about it. In particular, the local transport is appalling, traffic jams are the rule rather than the exception, and every type of popular public transport is usually overcrowded. Yeah, there are the nice spots like the parks, ] and some quieter areas in the city centre (like around the ]), but overall the city won't ever appeal to me. But then again, I don't think most other capitals around here are any different. At least ours have their heritage and sights, unlike some other capital cities in the region. | |||
| :: Maybe you're right about the sort-of "commercialization" of that traditional architecture—anything that is overused can get dull and annoying. It's just that for me as an outsider it's something unique and rarely-seen because our vernacular and church architecture is very different in many aspects. There are a few "Romanian Revival" buildings left in ] and ], but that comes nowhere near representing all the varieties and styles and especially not the church architecture. | |||
| :: It's curious that you have that slight Bulgarian connection, and it's very interesting that the yes and no instincts have outlived the language in that case. I have no idea where that inversion came from, I thought it was shared by the Greeks too but I'm not sure about that and I found no confirmation. It's weird and it probably deserves an article of its own :) '']]]'' 18:44, 23 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Heh, I know what you mean by drifting out, it tends to happen to me too :P As for Southern Dobruja — I'd have to agree with you, I don't think its annexation by Romania was very reasonable. I think it was the Russian compensation for the annexation of Bessarabia , which as a region had a significant Romanian past. There were few Romanians in the south, the Christian population was mostly Bulgarian with sizable Turkish and Tatar subregions. But yeah, sea access was crucial to any country at the time: Romania was already growing in power and who would miss the chance to retain an outlet on the Black Sea :) After all, Constanţa is today one of Europe's best ports, much more frequented than our Varna. | |||
| ::: Yeah, the repression of Muslims in communist Bulgaria was a shameful thing; but its effects should not be misjudged by Turkish nationalists: it is a topic that has to be rationally examined. Turks seem to underestimate the effect ot the Armenian, Pontic and Eastern Thracian massacres and overestimate the effect of the renaming and eviction campaigns of the Bulgarian communists. But that is understandable. | |||
| ::: Honestly, the Balchik Palace is indeed kitschy, but I guess that's how Bahá'í see beauty... Don't worry, Sofia has terrible traffic jams too :) It's true that your Ceauşescu was a megalomaniac: Zhivkov was a simple peasant but at least he wasn't that obsessed with power. I've passed through Belgrade and it has some megalomaniac tower blocks and communist stuff that we don't have here, so I guess Tito was a bit on the crazy side as well. The Palace in Bucharest isn't that bad, it has some decent looks unlike the repetitive panelkas; Stalinism isn't as bad as brutalism in my view. Tearing down the mausoleum was a pretty comic event; it had its critics, but overall I think it was a good decision, the building was plain ugly and Bulgaria isn't Egypt so we don't keep mummies out of museums :D | |||
| ::: Vitosha ''is'' cool though, it's a great retreat from the frantic life in the city. I'm planning a downhill bike ride there at some point :P But Dealul Mitropoliei seems like a nice place too, and the Wallachian style is so obviously different from the Moldavian style if I might add :) '']]]'' 12:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC) | |||

Often works of art are interesting for their place in history, what they reveal about sociology, aesthetics, psychology, language, etc. Sometimes poems that I don't like almost fascinate me; I re-read them to identify what I don't like.

| Yes, I would join & contribute to such a project page or pages. I've already contributed here & there to such articles and will contribute further. I have been studying what is known as Symbolist literature since 1998 or so. About the same time I began studying Parnassian literature, although I haven't read a lot of Parnassian literature or criticism. I can however get or find a lot of that literature. My studies in symbolism in art and ] go back further, because my father collected art and amassed a collection of books on the subject. I have in my garage alone numerous works I can use to contribute, and in Los Angeles you can find many good books on the subject. While I was exposed to symbolism in art (as opposed to literature) and to Art Nouveau many years before my discoveries in literature, I never studied the subjects with the level of interest that I studied the literature. Basically I was a kid/teenager reading my dad's art books and looking at the works he had acquired and discussing them. I have the books that my father bought in my garage. He's in Romania, but he left his books here. I have not yet read a lot of the Romanian work (] etc.) mostly because the works were not readily available in Los Angeles and I would have had to go out of my way to find them. From the "symbolists" & "pre-symbolists" I have mostly read Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Mallarme, Verlaine, some Nerval, La Forgue. However the ones I have read I have read them (in English translation & original French) with an interest and an affinity that is apparently not that common these days. I have read a lot of post-symbolism :] (whose early work was symbolist and whose later works largely grew out of symbolism), the Surrealists, the Beats, the contemporaries etc. So yes, I am interested in contributing to those articles and projects. ] (]) 02:37, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :I also like ] artists such as ]. So the project would include ], ], and ], or would they be separate projects? ] (]) 09:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::] and ] would probably also be interested. They have listed themselves at ]. Although ] may be the single most prominent figure in symbolist literature, Arthur never referred to himself as a symbolist in writing, if at all. In fact him referring to himself as a symbolist seems contrary to his personality. And if you read his prose poems especially (the Illuminations) there is a lot of symbolism there, but there is also a lot of what we would now recognize as ]. In fact there is probably more surrealism in the Illuminations than there is symbolism. I don't recall the latest statements of literary critics regarding this, but I do have a quote on hand that explicitly mentions the Surrealists, not the Symbolists, as the "real heirs of Rimbaud". I believe it was Wallace Fowlie who wrote that, a well-known critic & translator in the field. ] (]) 10:28, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :::The template looks nice. I have never started a ] before and you seem to be more familiar with arranging/setting up such a page. Yes Rimbaud definitely has to be included as part of the Symbolism Wikiproject, I opened the discussion regarding Rimbaud because I felt it would be better to put that discussion out there as we begin, and maybe other editors checking your talk page will read that. Secondary sources for Symbolist literature: Anna Balakian, Wallace Fowlie, Enid Starkie, etc. Anna Balakian is a major figure in Symbolist studies. I have a lot of books on Art Nouveau/Symbolism in my garage, and there is this volume I have called ''The Spiritual in Art, Abstract Painting, 1890---1985'' published by ], Abbeville Press which I recommend if anybody wants a nice work on the subject in their library. ] (]) 13:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::Well I started the project page. I'm not saying that I know more about symbolism than you (I think you may have written that earlier, that I know more about this subject; even if that were the case I do not know more about Romanian symbolism), although I may have read more of those authors I mentioned than you have, and I've been reading them for ten years now, so I'm familiar with them. However I have read mostly the French symbolists, not the Romanian, Russian, etc. And I have not read that much criticism or literary theorizing/essays on the subject. The criticism/essays I read were mostly in the form of introductions to the poetry in the various volumes, and commentary from the translators, etc. Or introductions and commentary in various anthologies. But I have not for example read a specific book by Anna Balakian about symbolism. I have to catch up on my ], that was awhile ago :) I need help with the project page. ] (]) 07:34, 2 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::I suppose I could learn how to make a template, but doesn't it also require some programming code or something, I'm very unclear on this. You wrote that Macedonski was "''the'' weirdo as far as our culture is concerned"---I never heard of that, but I haven't read much about him or heard much conversation about him. He was a weirdo I would agree. I really haven't read enough of his work to judge his art well. Many of his poems are dull (despite their quirkiness, the quirkiness often comes off as dull Paranassian quirkiness) in the manner of ] and ], fellow Paranassian poets. Others are better. ] (]) 13:14, 12 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| ::::By the way, some perspective on my "literary" tastes for Dahn and other readers: I think this poem by Theophile Gautier is very primitive and ineffective (many of Macedonski's poems are similar to that). Baudelaire improved upon those kind of sentiments and produced poems that are more valuable. I don't like criticizing Macedonski's poetry too much because 1) I've read no more than 20 of his poems, I think 2) when I'm critizing Maceonski's work casually in Misplaced Pages (of course not in the article on him) the reader can't see my criticisms of Gautier, Coppee, de Ricard, etc. ] (]) 09:09, 14 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, I saw that in the article about ] there are two possibilites mentioned about his father's (Iancu de Hunedoara) origin. The first is Romanian, backed by five sources, 3 out of 5 non-Romanian, and a fourth one which is a Romanian author writing about the works of an Italian humanist or diplomat, Ransano. The other origin proposed is Cumanian, and all five sources are in Hungarian and most seem like the kind of thing you write together with a friend over a bottle of beer.

| My apologies for that; lately I haven't been very active at DYK during the week, so this one must have flown under my radar. It looks like the hook was promoted in and, as you pointed out, it had not been verified by anyone (also, as far as I can tell, it wasn't even expiring, and there were a lot of older hooks that had been verified...so I'm not sure why it was picked). Davidwr had said he preferred the ALT, but no one had explicitly verified. | |||
| In these situations I generally like to <s>strike out</s> old hooks when I'm proposing a better one or pointing out a specific problem with a hook, just because when people move hooks to Next they are often in a hurry and (I'm guilty of this too) grab things quickly and might accidentally take the wrong hook; putting <nowiki><s></s></nowiki> around the bad hooks, I think, helps make it easier to tell they shouldn't be taken. There's not a DYK rule about it or anything, but I think it's good practice. | |||

"Manifestations" in English is rather vague (more or less "things that comes into being", "things that crop up"). "Demonstrations" encompasses things like political rallies.

| Hi Dahn! Yes, I have indeed made a comeback to Misplaced Pages, even though I don't think I will have a lot of time for editing. The new Romanian electoral system seems to me to be insanely difficult to understand. At the same time, I think it parallels some other systems existing throughout Europe. I have read ] (MMPR) in detail and it seems that there are several systems which qualify as MMPR. In some MMPR systems, like that of Germany, voters cast two separate votes: one constitutency vote ("uninominal") and one party-list vote. Under this system, a single candidate only needs a plurality (not a majority) of votes to win. This is not the case in Romania, where there is no party list vote and where only candidates who gain an outright majority win their seat, with the remainder of votes going through a redistribution process. However, I don't believe that these differences disqualify the Romanian system from being MMPR; having two separate votes is not a ] for MMPR. As the article points out, there are many differences between MMPR systems in the world. What appears to me to be a defining characteristic of MMRP is the combination between the existence individual candidates in individual constituencies and redistribution of existing votes to maintain relative proportionality. Thus, I will add the link back to the article. ''']''' ] 06:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC) | |||

| :Peace to you, as well. :-) Obviously, I was just teasing you. | |||
| :Now, seriously. It is one thing what ''is'' science, and a totally different thing what is ''convinient'' for classification (in education, in funds appropriation, etc) to consider science. Natural sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology and health sciences) are just one part. We also have engeneering (which is application of science, but it developed into a science, or group of sciences, due to the fundamental usage of scientific approach). We also have mathematics, which is the language of science, but not a natural science by itself. We also have computer science, another applied science, which generally is associated with engineering, hence sometimes referred to as computer engineering. Another similar branch is agricultural engineering. And let me repeat: only a small part of what ''some'' engineers do is science, the rest is plain dumb application, if not just routine tasks. We then have geophysics, geology, and other earth sciences. Finally, we have economics, which only recently (last generation or two) turned into a science due to the fundamental role that mathematics plays there. But not all methods and branches of economics are yet scientific. If we attempt to step further, we loose the fundamental characteristics of science. There is very little scientific in modern history, psychology, sociology, phylosophy, linguistics, classics, etc. That does not mean to say that they are not important, that they should not be studied (as disciplines), that they should not receive fundung (but not as much as science). Simply, at this moment of the development of mankind there is little scientific in the social ''disciplines''. What is a discovery there? what is a theory there? what kind of mathematisation they employ? Zero, zero, and again zero. Specifically about history, antropology and archeology have some incipient features of scientific approach. But when it comes to historiography, with all due respect, it is shameful to even suggest that can be called science. It has little more merit than dialectical materialism. | |||
| :That said, however, I do not object to classifying these disciplines as an appendix to science and technology, because that has one fundamental advantage (besides simplifying classification for the benefit of dummies): it forces those disciplines to higher standards. If you want, it is similar to classifying education and health under economy. It's ok, provided we know what we are talking about. | |||

| ==Re: Gheorghe Argeşanu and other images== | |||
| You are right that I was bending the definition of fair-use... However, regarding the "low resolution", I'm still saying the image is low resolution, because it is has a size of 242 x 320 pixels, compared to the original which has 966 x 1280 pixels. Regarding the "adequately give the same information" part, I *could* argue that this picture provides more information than the old picture (it represents the subject more accurately; for example, you can see that he has a mole under the right eye), but I won't, because I agree that's a silly argument. | |||
| I guess that in the back of my mind, the reason that pushed me to add this picture is that the old one is marked PD, but has no author information (therefore we cannot know for sure that the author of the picture died more 70 years ago), we do not know where it was first published (so we cannot know for sure if the Romanian copyright law applies, or the US law, or other laws). I was adding this image with full source information, and I guess I was sub-consciously thinking that the old image may not be *really* PD, so the images *may* have the same copyright status, but the new image has a better quality and complete source information. | |||
| Therefore I will propose this image to be deleted, letting others to have the final words on this one. ] (]) 06:06, 17 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Right, there was still a Sima, but a Sima in control of a very fractured Guard, one that perhaps the brilliant minds heading the state could have found ways to exploit the divisions of. It seems individual Romanians are endlessly being co-opted and abandoning principles at the drop of a hat (democrats to fascists, fascists to communists, communists to fascists to democrats...); in retrospect, Călinescu's mistake seems to have been not backing (tacitly) the elder Codreanu rather than going after the Guard as a whole. Plus, had the Patriarch and senior bishops been induced to speak out forcefully against the Guard in the fall of 1940 (which I'm sure could have been arranged), that too might have sapped its strength. And even if part of the Guard were being persecuted, I don't think Hitler would have cared that much as long as the oil kept flowing (and, say, overflight rights) - indeed, maybe Maniu could have arranged to send Guard members (and Saxons & Swabians) ''en masse'' to the front, killing two birds with one stone...<br> | |||

I first took issue with the format (linking dates when all were delinked - it's a long controversy, but whatever preference needs to be consistent in one article). I have separate problems with the two cats for CPSU members and Bolsheviks, which I hadn't noticed before: the former is most likely redundant to Soviet politicians, the latter is frankly absurd (the term is as vague as to mean anything, and its overlap with CPSU members for those it intends to cover is about 100%). But I have kept one and will re-add the other, since I don't want to get tangled in that debate. You were also right on principle about Romanian politicians (which I simply hadn't noticed), but note that he is already in there through the PSDR members category (I since added another more specific and newish category for his case). As for your sorting: I'm fine with any system, I'll revisit yours because it could prove to be better - just give me a moment. ] (]) 23:11, 30 March 2009 (UTC) | |||

| Hi! How are you? I am working on the article of the heading, and I was wondering if you have any sources about the following paragraph of the article: | |||
| :"Instead of directly advancing on Brăila , where he arguably could have prevented Ottoman armies from entering the Principalities, and where he might have forced Russia to accept a fait accompli, he remained in Iaşi, and ordered the executions of several pro-Ottoman Moldovans. In Bucharest, where he had arrived on March 27 after some weeks delay, he decided that he could not rely on the Wallachian Pandurs to continue their Oltenian-based revolt and assist the Greek cause; Ypsilantis was mistrusted by the Pandur leader Tudor Vladimirescu, who, as a nominal ally to the Eteria, had started the rebellion as a move to prevent Scarlat Callimachi from reaching the throne in Bucharest, while trying to maintain relations with both Russia and the Ottomans." | |||
| I am trying to research, prood-read it, and cite it, but on-line sources are not so helpful. So, I was wondering if you have any sources, dealing with these events, in order to check the accuracy of the above thread.--] (]) 15:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC) | |||

| == Communist Bloc article (as suggested on AfD-- suggestion for expansion on Egypt == | |||
| I am not sure if you would include the U.S.S.R. as part of the Communist Bloc, or if you were referring specifically to the Eastern Bloc/Satellite States. (Odd really I never thought of it, I suppose the U.S.S.R. wouldn't call it the Eastern Bloc, being on their west and all that.) | |||
| Anyway, the coverage of U.S.S.R./Russia's involvement in the ] article seems to me extremely sketchy (two mentions of "soviet" and none of "Russia", and that in relation to the Six Day War. But Russia had a big hand in e.g. building the ] and providing lots of lovely roubles and nice weapons. | |||
| I should probably try to expand this a bit in the Egypt article myself, I lived there a couple of years so I know a bit about it but I don't have much in the way of reliable sources, if I did that and you proceeded with the eastern bloc & third world overview then you could simply refer to it, one way or another (include a summary or see also or main or whatever is most appropriate). What do you think? | |||
| I suppose this is also assuming you consider that Egypt is, or rather at least until 1970ish when they booted the U.S.S.R. out WAS, third world. I don't think that's an unreasonable definition but perhaps you were thinking more specifically about sub-saharan Africa or something? | |||
| There's probably quite some interest with the Communist Bloc and Libya too, and perhaps Algeria-- I don't know much about those. Certainly I think what you propose would make a good article. | |||
| BTW nomenclature: I was always told that the Communist Bloc was the "second world" and the "third world" was what we were taught. Now it's "developing nations" or some codswallop, which seems unnecessarily vague (as if first world nations aren't developing too) and the "western world" or similar, whereas most of the states in the "western world" are in the Eastern Hemisphere. To my mind, "first", "second", "third" world" are just much better when describing the ''political'' get-up, which of course is what this would be about. If existing definitions are unsatisfactory they can either be changed or, if there is resistance, narrower definitions placed in the article — I have done that in the past just to avoid needless repetition throughout, and it seems to raise few objections providing one isn't defining black as white. | |||
| Best wishes, let me know your thoughts. ] (]) 07:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi Dahn, | |||
| (:I don't know where you prefer replies so I will do it here, quoting you where necessary.) | |||
| :Thanks for your response. | |||
| :Yes, come to think of it, I agree you are right that bloc-to-bloc is unfeasibly vague and big. I was, essentially, working from the assumption that the Soviet bloc was fairly homogenous i.e. that the satellite states were essentially puppets of the Soviet state. You probably don't see it that way and it is no doubt a false assumption. For those reasons alone my initial thought of a kind of summary article is a bad idea. | |||
| :No, I was not suggesting "Russia" were preferable to "U.S.S.R." or "Soviet Union"-- only that I would tend to include that in a search term, especially if I got no luck with the other two, in case someone else habitually used that term. When I was growing up (I am 36) "Russia" was synonymous with the U.S.S.R. "Communist bloc" or "Eastern bloc" is a bit more problematic and I think would have to be taken case by case. For example, whether China would be considered part of the Communist bloc would very much depend, I suspect, on the subject of the article-- possibly with a bit of POV thrown in. | |||
| :Yes, I did follow up the Egypt article into other sections (Modern Egyptian History or some such, and the biographies of the presidents). I admit I was scanning quickly as I was mostly working on other articles but it does seem very scant. It will be pretty low priority for me too because I'd need to do a lot of research, and I can probably be more useful doing other things. A pity because, without care, it can look like deliberate omission. | |||

| Not a problem at all. I actually have a somewhat interesting DYK hook on, of all people, ]. As I was writing on him, he seemed the exemplar of a post-'89 apparatchik - plain-looking, low-key, relatively uncontroversial, local party boss, stays just out of sight in his fiefdoms (the Ministry and the Dolj party apparatus), amassing a nice bank account in the process - but then the Securitate dossier caught my eye.

Personally, I don't see why we should say the church is concentrated in Transylvania if the sources don't, and that table is not only ungainly and able to be fitted into the prose, but the 1950 number (at least) contradicts what the prose, sourced to a more reliable location, says, and the 2008 estimate (especially considering its provenance) is bound to be controversial; the 2011 census isn't that far off, and will surely provide a more accurate figure. - ] <small><sup>]</sup></small> 17:50, 6 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

- @Biruitorul: Do Sasu and the DBLR/DGLR have entries on Alexandru Talex? Dahn (talk) 19:02, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sasu no, DBLR I only have volume P/R at the moment, will check in due time. Biruitorul 07:36, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Some interesting bits here, for example Ralet at p. 138. Biruitorul 09:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Here is Talex. Volume S/T, author Teodor Vârgolici. Biruitorul 11:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- So, I have quite the update. Some kind soul uploaded DLGR last year, in its entirety. It’s the 2016 edition, ISBN 978-973-167-381-3 for the first volume, A/B. (Cavarnali doesn’t have an entry.) , Here’s Bratoloveanu, author Victor Durnea.

Some help
Hi Dahn, hope you're well. With this message I expose myself further as a talk page stalker, hope you don't mind... Above you mentioned Arcanum, a great resource that I am surprised I had never heard about before. I've found there many newspapers talking about marginal figures, which probably duplicates the amount of sources about them that I thought existed. One such figure is George Ceara (or Ceară), an Aromanian poet. He seems to be related to a modern Aromanian poet, Ilie A. Ceara (or Ceară, likewise). I had planned writing a page for George for months but couldn't find any source explaining their relation. Only once I found a book snippet which I dismissed anyway because I think I deemed it to be inappropriate (maybe it was a primary source, I don't remember anymore) believing I could find something better, but I haven't been able to. Could you help me out? I see both have many results in Arcanum, does any explain the relation between the two? Regards, Super Ψ Dro 12:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, Super, and thanks for stalking me, as well as for all the wonderful work you're putting in! This piece by Emil Lazăr-Dejeanul has the following: De reţinut este şi faptul că unul dintre cei 7 fraţi şi o soră a tatălui lui Ilie Ceară a făcut Facultatea de Litere din Bucureşti şi a ajuns profesor, atât în şcolile din România, cât şi în Grecia de Nord, dar şi un cunoscut poet de expresie română şi aromână cu numele George Ceară. Nepotul acestuia, scriitorul Ilie Ceară, încă de la vârsta de 5 ani a ajuns orfan de tată, orfan şi de mamă. (Citation Emil Lazăr-Dejeanul, "Scriitorul aromân Ilie Ceară", in Astra Dejeană, Vol. VII, Issues 3–4, December 2000, p. 14). Dahn (talk) 21:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

József Fischer
Hello! I created an article about József Fischer, a prominent leader of the Jewish Party (Romania). If you would like to expand, please feel free to do that, since I found only incomplete information about his political involvement in Romania. Norden1990 (talk) 20:04, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Norden1990: A general advice, if I may: the sources I used in writing the Jewish Party article have more in-depth coverage about the Fischers than the prose required there. I would suggest that, instead of repeating the content you have found in the article, you have a fresh look at the sources cited which you can check yourself (Frojimovics et al, presumably), and complete the research with detail that should not go into the party article, but needs to appear in a biography. Otherwise, the article just looks like a transplant of info. Dahn (talk) 13:42, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I do not speak nor write Romanian, and my knowledge of the Romanian political system between the two world wars is extremely limited. The person was interesting to me because of his activities in Hungary during the Holocaust. --Norden1990 (talk) 09:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Norden1990: There is absolutely nothing unfortunate about that, you are actually of immense value to this project as a Hungarian-speaker (and of course, for many other reasons). I kindly ask that you reread what I wrote: it is precisely to ask that you please focus more of the article on sources that are only marginally used in Jewish Party (Romania) (I mentioned Frojimovics et al, which has some more coverage of the Fischers than was needed in the JP article, and which was published in English -- you only seem to have used and duplicated the parts that I had cited in the JP article); it is also to encourage you to also search and use sources in Hungarian that were not used in the JP article (and which will presumably have much, much more to say about Fischer and the other Fischers). That is my vision for the article, if you will. Dahn (talk) 03:23, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

WP:AN
When a discussion is closed, you should not edit it. By continuing the discussion to prove some point you have simply further escalated the issue. As I mentioned in the close, there are other more appropriate venues to resolve your disagreement, continued discussion at WP:AN risks sanctions against you both if you can't disengage. Polyamorph (talk) 08:51, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Polyamorph: I was simply editing in my response exactly while the discussion was being closed -- I probably entered the editing window exactly after your closure, not noticing that it had been closed in that 9-minute interval. When I noticed that it had been closed, I had already written in my answers, and I frankly have no idea what the proper procedure is for that situation. You can of course remove my answers and re-close, but I would kindly encourage you to give me the benefit of the doubt. Dahn (talk) 13:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Adding citations
Hi. When you're adding entries to articles like 2011 in literature, it's mandatory to include an inline citation. I've just added one for you but it would be really helpful if you could remember to do so in future. I'm aware that many of the older pages have some citations missing, because this rule didn't always exist, but if we can at least keep the more recent years fully referenced, it will improve matters. Deb (talk) 08:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Deb: Has it dawned on anyone so far that basic biographical facts are referenced (or should be referenced) in the articles themselves (you can easily pick them up from there, in all articles I contribute), and that adding a string of redundant citations needlessly duplicates the text? This is why I don't consider this mandatory, and would rather not have myself bound by it. I will of course continue to cite all facts I introduce in other sections of those pages, as I have always in the past. Dahn (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it has been much discussed and the decision was made in 2018. It's fine not to consider yourself bound by it, but be aware that your contributions can be removed, by anyone, at any time, if you don't include the citation. Deb (talk) 10:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I would imagine it absurd to remove an "uncited" fact that is perfectly cited in the article, but yeah, okay. On the other hand, there is nothing absolutely prevenring anyone from removing cited facts as well, particularlt on pages that are so evidently unpatrolled, and completely chaotic in content. I'll take my chances. Dahn (talk) 11:20, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it has been much discussed and the decision was made in 2018. It's fine not to consider yourself bound by it, but be aware that your contributions can be removed, by anyone, at any time, if you don't include the citation. Deb (talk) 10:59, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also: can we talk about what is mandatory in citations when you guys agree to at least consistently enforce a single citation format over all such pages, or at the very least over one page? Dahn (talk) 10:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- By "you guys", I'm assuming you mean the Misplaced Pages community, which includes you. It's open to you to raise the matter any time you choose. Deb (talk) 11:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, just the guys who look after those particular pages. I have limited time to spend of such chores, but surely now that you are aware of this issue, and have noticed the anomaly (as for instance in the clash of styles between the citations you have added regarding Neagu, and the rest of the citations on that very page), you might start whatever procedure is required to fix it. Dahn (talk) 11:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nobody "looks after" pages - everyone is expected to. If you don't have time, you can drop out of the project without recrimination. Deb (talk) 11:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- You mean I should stop contributing to wikipedia because I didn't add citations to basic facts on those pages? If so, permit me to inform you that you are out of line. And yes: there are users who take a constant interest in the "in literature" pages, to which I only have a passing interest. Now: are we just about done here? Dahn (talk) 11:40, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you should stop contributing to wikipedia if you don't add citations to basic facts. WP:V is non-negotiable. The WP:BURDEN to provide citations is on you if you edit. If you don't add citations, you can and should be blocked from editing. You've been around far too long not to understand this. And yes, we are done here. Toddst1 (talk) 17:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, here's the deal: As a rule, I contribute massively with cited content, including the entire article that I linked to on 2011 in literature -- namely, Fănuș Neagu. I view the citations as redundant on "in literature" pages, as long as they are cited inline in the articles. I do not prevent anyone from adding citations (such as pasting them from the linked article that was written and referenced by me), or citation needed tags, or even removing the facts that are "not referenced" there, on the "in literature" pages. As utterly ridiculous as that is, especially when weighed against the fact that all birth and death sections on the "in literature" pages were originally unrefenced.
And no: adding unsourced content, even if I had been doing that, is not a blockable offense.
That said, let me make this very clear: haranguing and trolling me on my user page is a really bad idea, as is the suggestion that I should leave wikipedia, or be blocked from editing, for not embracing your pet peeves. Continue commenting here, particularly in this manner, and I will gladly escalate the matter (as much as I detest ANI etc procedures). Have a good day. Dahn (talk) 17:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Eugene Sârbu
Eugene Sârbu died, a violinist who made an international career, with star names among his teachers, and still has no article in German, French, not even Romanian. If you have a bit of time, might you check if some of the Romanian teachers could have an interlanguage link. With a bit more time, check for refs in Romanian and add? - The Strad obit reads pretty much like a mirror of our article, therefore I don't trust it too much ;) - I'll have more time for him next week. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:33, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'll look into that, also at some point over the coming days. What strikes me for now is that his birth name was "Eugen" with no final "e", and there are plenty of Romanian sources, rich in detail, referring to him under that name. "Eugene" seems to be an Anglicization, but then "Eugene Sârbu" is an unusual variant, since it preserves the diacritic on "â" after Anglicizing the first name. What page name should we hold on to, in your assessment? -- we also have "Eugene Sarbu" or "Eugen Sârbu". (Let's note in passing that "Eugen Sîrbu" with a "î" was also a variant used in Romania until he was well into his forties, when "â" made a comeback). Dahn (talk) 14:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- ... and - to make things worse - the QEC has an diacritic on the first name (only): Eugène Sarbu --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Well yeah, but that looks like it's a full-on Francization, as in "Eugène Ionesco". Dahn (talk) 14:31, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Understand, - back to your original question: the most cited refs - Grove and Strad - have Eugene, Grove has the surname with diacritic, Strad without. I haven't looked at recordings much. For the moment I'd go by Grove, and you can please make a footnote about variants. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:58, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
