Some helpHi 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)

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)
WP:ANWhen 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.

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)
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.

Eugene SârbuEugene 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)
