User talk:Dahn/Archive 40DetailHi, while I entirely support your position on Moldavian rulers there is one minor detail I have to disagree in your statement [1]. Ciceu (and Cetatea de Balta) were never part of Moldavia, they were personal fiefs held by the princes of Moldavia as vassals of the King of Hungary. For details see the article I wrote on ro.wiki: [2]. Plinul cel tanar (talk) 08:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Mircea Eliade splitting proposalYou may or may not know that some users recently proposed splitting Mircea Eliade into subarticles. I don't have any particular problem with that idea. However, I'm a bit wary of leaving the project to users who haven't been the ones most involved in putting the article in its current form (i.e. you and me). If you have time, I'd be interested to hear your input on the talk page. --Phatius McBluff (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC) Ping-pongWelcome back, Dahn; I'm most glad to see you here again. Once again my sincerest condolences and sympathy as you heal. My own view is that the Vianu article is too rich to pass up. Congratulations, and as long as you avoid that paragraph, you should be fine. The winds of change are blowing once again, though I don't know if the idea of 4-5 Rauls is a good one, but at least they're doing something after a couple of months of paralysis. (It was in fact an e-mail from me to Adi that set this latest episode in motion.) I see the first article nominated since then is OK - maybe not FA-level, but at least they're getting the idea of footnotes. Progress! I say "ping-pong" because I have an annoying request myself, with a slight touch of urgency no less: Moldavian Revolution of 1848. 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?

This map says Konovka other name Cofa, and also 48° 31' 0N, 26° 43' 0E. So I think the city is Konovka Chernivtsi Oblast Kelmenetskyi Raion, which has an entry on Ukrainian wikipedia Коновка.

PeterSymonds (talk) 05:16, 25 July 2008 (UTC) problemDear friend, On Giuseppe Ungaretti I've a problem with your phrase on Ermetismo and Fascism: "(Ungaretti remained)...a supporter of his Blackshirts and National Fascist Party". 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). So I think it'ld be right to delete that phrase, and insert only: "Ungaretti joined in the Fascist Party signing the Manifesto of the Italian Writers". Tell me what do you think about.

Re: 1848 revolutionNot to worry - it did make DYK. By the way, a question for when you return. I was thinking of how we should eventually approach the 1848 revolution in Transylvania. Indeed I have a fairly complete article on the Blaj Assemblies, but as I worked I found it's quite hard to separate them from the history of the revolution as a whole. And then the Simion Bărnuţiu article ... evolved, and now includes a section on each Assembly. So I suppose the first priority is to decide how to address the changes to the Bărnuţiu article, and then how to approach the revolution as a whole. Biruitorul Talk 15:55, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Indeed, I may as well make a few points now before I forget them: 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). 2. Speaking of cemeteries, I paid two visits to Ghencea cemetery of late, in search of the grave of the protesters killed in the monarchist demonstration of 8 November 1945 (it's on the lists 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. 3. I've put up a picture of the Rondul Român (plus the sculptures therein) - would that be a good fit for the Cişmigiu Gardens article? The "Buildings to the south, as seen from the park" picture is a duplicate, and anyway the gallery seems a bit repetitive. Your call. 4. On Armand Călinescu. First, his monument now looks like this instead of this - probably not worth using in the article, right? But, if you're interested, I've uploaded these pages ([4], [5], [6], [7], [8] - "All Sizes" to magnify). Reference: Nicolae Chivulescu, Armand Călinescu, om de stat şi conducător de ţară, Bucharest, Editura Lucman, 2005, ISBN 973-8465-98-2. Not vital, but does give some interesting tidbits like how he lost his eye or the high school he attended.

By the way, if I may intrude on this thread (and a hearty welcome back, Dahn), and speaking of fascism, here is a great series of articles -- especially "Regele cîrmaci" and the next three or so. It's striking not so much the extent to which Carol's dictatorship resembled other European countries of the time (which isn't that surprising), but rather a later Romanian dictatorship, which seems to have borrowed liberally from some of the imagery and language he used, despite its very different ideological underpinnings.

Biruitorul Talk 21:55, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Biserica NeagrăHello, 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 WP:RS, 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, Todor→Bozhinov 10:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

New WikiProjectYes, 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 Art Nouveau 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 (George Bacovia 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 :Guillaume Apollinaire (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.

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.

A full reply is forthcoming, but meanwhile, did you see this!? One could spend hours browsing that, even with my very weak German. I wish the Romanians would do something similar, but I'm not holding my breath. Ah, and any thoughts on Victor Marius Beliciu, Haralamb H. Georgescu, Bogdan Bacanu, Dan Stoenescu, George Draga, Dumitru Fărcaş, Andras Chiriliuc, Ciprian Preda, Andrei Markovits, Ervin Acél, Alexandru Moisuc? I could see a bunch of those being deleted at AfD, with others requiring drastic cleanup. I highly appreciate the barnstar and yes, I did start every one of the communes - not too entertaining, but I did it so we could then eliminate the villages. The remaining villages are at Category:Communes and villages in Romania, Category:Communes and villages in Transylvania, Category:Villages in Cluj County; anything you can merge would be helpful. The only one I'd be a little careful about is Giurtelecu Şimleului: obviously the author has worked quite hard on it, and we'd want to let him know before moving it to Măerişte. Question: is Colegiu Naţional better given as "National College" or "High School"? The second sounds more natural in English, but the first is more literal, and in any case Liceu means something slightly different - so it's what I used in practice. It would be useful to hear your opinion going forward, and we should go forward: right now, Category:High schools in Romania is still pretty empty (we have, incredibly, nothing on high schools in Cluj, Braşov, Iaşi, Sibiu or Timişoara, for example), and most of what we do have is of rather poor quality. - Biruitorul Talk 03:52, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
I haven't yet AfD'd any of those guys, but I know you'll enjoy Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peru–Romania relations. Empty categories are liable for deletion anyway, so I'd say the priority should be on merging the villages rather than eliminating the categories (which also help us keep track of what's left to do). On Giurtelec, I quite agree it's largely a mess, it's just that we ideally don't want the author to create too much of a stir. (I thought he'd left Wikipedia, but then he came back and kept starting articles. Some, like Alexander Ratiu (not Raţiu?), Valerian Stan or Emil Pop are a bit blah, but it's nice that he finally started something on Emil Hurezeanu.) The Chad story is indeed a strange one: it seems that, just as Romania aspires to be a mini-France in other areas, it has its own Françafrique too, despite not having had colonies there (an interesting what-if, though: what if a couple of African countries had been Romania's?).

Question: "the recrudescence of antisemitic manifestations": do you really want "manifestations" or is that a false cognate? Do you perhaps mean "demonstrations"? "Manifestations" in English is rather vague (more or less "things that comes into being", "things that crop up"). "Demonstrations" encompasses things like political rallies. In any case, if you really want "manifestations", you probably want to reword so that you don't use "in manifest contrast" in the same sentence. - Jmabel | Talk 21:14, 9 December 2008 (UTC) "Shows produced under the Vilna Troupe name were also staged after 1927."

Yes, I have indeed made a comeback to Wikipedia, 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 mixed member proportional representation (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 necessary condition 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.

Best The Bald One White cat 11:31, 17 December 2008 (UTC) I have reverted the edits you have made to The Gas Heart since I was unable to disentange which were further improvements and which were reverts to the original shoddy state. The original article was very poorly written--often reading like a bad example of an undergraduate essay--and contained errors and inaccuracies. I have gone through the sources and examined them against the claims they allegedly support in the article and made many corrections. I have provided details of most of them on the article's talk page. I have also added new information and further sources. I updated the reference-system because the previous one certainly wasn't clear. Removal of redlinks is Wikipedia policy - consult the manual of style. Any information appearing in the article requires a citation to prove it; this applies to information in end-notes as well as that in the main body. Finally, as I hope you are aware, you do not own the article, despite having contributed to it, and it is not necessary to consult you before improving it. If you wish to improve it further, it could certainly do with it, but my recent edits should form the basis of that, since now it is well-sourced, accurate, and much clearer and better-written.

Roma as a Romani groupThere are discussion for the creation of an article about Roma as a Romani group, but there are some problems about the best way to do that. Can you take a look, if you have the time, please? The discussion are mostly at Talk:Roma people. Thanks!

Can we find one or at most two tags that express what you want without crapifying the entire experience for Wiki readers? Thanks. man with one red shoe 18:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
