No source says that

@Vellutis: Which WP:RS says 14.3% irreligion?

You wrote When evaluating religious beliefs based on the tablets used by recensors in 2021, unanswered or missing data was not considered indicative of any specific religious belief. ... and "any specific religious belief" includes irreligion.

Let me tell it as it is: for about 4% there is absolutely no data about their religious beliefs, so we can never claim they are irreligious. The rest of about 9% refused to answer. We may guess they are (most of them) irreligious, however no WP:RS says that. tgeorgescu (talk) 14:25, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

GA review request

I am sorry to say nominators must have contributed significantly to the article and be familiar with its subject and cited sources. Nor is the article in its current state going to pass a review. Vellutis@ I suggest you get some more experience under your belt..... both with editing and the GA criteria. Pls see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Countries#Structure and guidelines to get an idea of what is expected of a country article .....and Misplaced Pages:Good article criteria for the basics of what's expected in a GA article. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Moxy🍁 01:00, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. If I have any questions along the way, I'll be sure to reach out. Thanks again for your guidance. Vellutis (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

In the interest of keeping wikipedia unbiased, accuracy and avoiding false information please include in the intro the following: " Romania is a country under the neo-marxist influence, where every election cycle since 1989 to date human rights and democracy have been infringed upon with blatant disregard of Romanian people explicit vote" this is based on current evolution of the subject and can be verified from multiple sources.

Have Iohannis removed as president from the page

His tenure is constitutionally over. Put Ciuca (who is president of the Senate) as interim president. CartofulMaro (talk) 22:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

There would need to be a reliable source indicating that Ciuca is officially interim president and that Iohannis is not actually still holding power. A quick search on Google reveals power has not changed hands. Axedel (talk) 00:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Then at least put "Vacant" at the president. Iohannis is no longer legally president. CartofulMaro (talk) 12:14, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
His mandate has been extended, the office is not Vacant. CMD (talk) 12:36, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
The mandate cannot be extended unless it's a war or declared emergency state. None of these are applicable.
The mandate expired yesterday.
The position is Vacant. 170.52.81.244 (talk) 16:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages does not work that way. You have to WP:CITE WP:RS for your claims. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

  1. Have some organisation with the timelines of the formation of the state! Look how neat it is on Hungary's Misplaced Pages page, with their predecessor states and key historical changes! Take some inspiration! This is how the Formation of Romania should be set out.

Historical Romanian Principalities:

- Principality of Wallachia - 1330

- Principality of Moldavia - 1359

Little Union - 24 January 1859

Independent Kingdom - 25 March 1881

Great Union - 1 December 1918

Socialist Republic - 30 December 1947

Romanian Revolution - 16-30 December 1989

  1. The principalities should be listed under the subtile "Historical Romanian Principalities" due to the fact that the next event (Little Union) is a unification between the two principalities to form the modern Romanian state.
  2. The Romanian Revolution is a more noteworthy event since not only did it directly lead to the current constitution but it is still widely referenced in modern Romanian society today and is of unique significance since it was the only violent revolution to bring down a communist government in the Easter Bloc. Napoli0079 (talk) 19:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
Not done for now: Napoli0079 I'm closing this request simply because your suggestion would be a fairly significant overhaul of the article's History section and is unlikely to be acted upon by editors patrolling edit requests (and who may or may not be, but likely aren't, subject experts on Romania). I would recommend one of two approaches: either edit a few more times using your current account so you become autoconfirmed and can edit this semiprotected article, then boldly begin implementing your changes (making sure to hew closely to how reliable sources approach the structure of the nation's history), or enter into a discussion on this talk page regarding your proposed changes in order to come to a consensus with other editors about what changes should be made. Alternatively, you can open new edit requests, but I would recommend individual, smaller suggestions using a "Change X to Y" format and using reliable sources for your proposed changes.

Refining of Romanian History in inital page

May I understand why people are opposing my edits, I know they're bold, but they're all correct and true and unbiased and can also be backed up with historical sources. Let me explain, - Climate in initial paragraph is archaic and isn't distinct (Even the Greek page doesn't mention climate in the opening paragraph) - The cities after Bucharest in the opening paragraph are the next four more POPULOUS so therefore are naturally more significant, I don't know who ordered them like they are now but it's always been unsatisfactory to me. - It feels putrid to undermine Romanian History like they do on this Misplaced Pages page, starting from 1859, really? Every country in Europe entails a brief history from the Middle Ages to the present, having Romania start from 1859 when it had not one but TWO medieval predecessors is shocking... and shows a lack of disrespect to the country, I feel my wording illustrates a better summary of it. - The formation page should also be changed, it's just sloppy, having independence listed from the Ottomans then immediately 4 years later a constitutional monarchy established is redundant, also the Romanian Revolution far outweighs any other event in modern Romanian history and DIRECTLY leads to the Constitution, so that should also be implemented.

Tell me how I'm wrong, because I've read the wikipedia criteria and all my edits abide by it. Napoli0079 (talk) 17:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

My main concern is the huge history addition to the lead ,,,this is not a history of article. See Canada or Japan to see how much history is in the lead see also WP:COUNTRYLEAD. Moxy🍁 18:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Ok I'll trim it down a little. Napoli0079 (talk) 18:40, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
