Normally, I would agree that tweets are not notable -- but Greta Thunberg's response to Tate has, as of this moment, 172.6 million views, 437,900 retweets, and 2.6 million "likes." Moreover, the exchange between the two has been reported by dozens of news sources worldwide including NBC, Rolling Stone, The Independent, etc. That's a lot of ink (real and digital) being expended on this event, so I believe it's notable.

Looking at the article history, it seems to me that too many reversions and discussions have been taking place in the edit summaries instead of gaining consensus on this talk page for any potentially arguable changes. Please see WP:SUMMARYNO.
Also, is there a way of autocollapsing the kickboxing record? I had a quick look but I'm not familiar with the template and didn't want to waste time or mess it up. In my view this list adds unnecessary length to the article and hinders readability. Laterthanyouthink ( talk) 13:21, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
A reference to a Tweet is a self-published source and does not indicate anything about "most-liked" status. According to List of most-liked tweets, Twitter does not publish such information. Unfortunately that same list is lacking in reliable secondary sources which it claims do cover the topic. I am unable to support an assertion about a "most-liked Tweet" that relies on Wikipedia's own rankings. Elizium23 ( talk) 12:39, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
@DFlhb that's not true though. As far as we know those are the ten most liked tweets and until a new one comes out that's a perfectly reasonable list to make. Pol Cəl ( talk) 19:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

A particular light must be shed upon the demographic nature of Tate’s audience (majority young/teen men) and how Tate is radicalising this susceptible group. It has been well documented young audiences are highly impressionable (see source below) and that Tate is accountable for the negative ‘radicalising’ effects his social media influence has had on young men in promoting misogyny and ‘rape culture’ (see source below).
Tate presents a real danger to his audience as well as women. This must be highlighted in a documentation of his life and influence.
Proposed change: mention the radicalisation effects of Tate's influence on young men in particular
See this article in the BBC which describes an account of someone’s son being radicalised by Tate [1]

I request that the label misogynist be used in the opening few sentences to describe Tate, instead of describing his commentary as misogynistic. This man has gained all his fame and notoriety over the last five years just from his misogynistic rhetoric on social media alone; that has proved entertaining for his big audience of primarily adolescent men. He was a kick-boxer and chess player however it was his misogynistic commentary starting in 2016 that propelled him to international notoriety online, and has led to his millions of followers and large accumulation of wealth. All his interviews and online commentary will include one or two of his misogynistic views and primarily the main topic of many is what he thinks of women and their place in society and relationship to men. If he cannot be considered a 'misogynist', then no one can and avoiding the use of this hard label is ridiculous for a man like Tate. His commentary is described as misogynistic in this article because hundreds of comments of his have been misogynistic by definition, as reported by every reliable source out there, and he has consistently been using misogynistic commentary for the last several years. Just because he does not like the term or identify with it, does not mean he has to be appeased. In fact, as is mentioned in this article, Tate called himself a misogynist on several occasions while on others he opposed the label. Using the term misogynistic commentary instead of the label misogynist gives the impression to readers (who otherwise are not overtly familiar with Tate) that over the years Tate has occasionally made what can be considered by many to be misogynistic statements; the opposite is true, and Tate's entire online personality is built around misogyny and being a misogynist and saying provocative things about women. User6619018899273 ( talk) 23:14, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
If he cannot be considered a 'misogynist', then no one can-- actually, yes. I don't think we can label anyone a misogynist in Wikipedia's voice (for the reasons given at WP:WIKIVOICE and MOS:LABEL). Words like "racist" or "misogynist" are value-laden and inherently opinionated, so we can't label people with them matter-of-factly. The most I think we can say is that the person is widely/generally described as misogynistic, and I think we can also say that their actions/commentary/ideology/etc is misogynistic. We cannot even describe Hitler himself as racist; see the article Adolf Hitler, which notes that his ideology is racist, and that he is described as evil:
The historian and biographer Ian Kershaw describes Hitler as "the embodiment of modern political evil". Under Hitler's leadership and racist ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of...

Change Mysogynitic commentary to just commentary. It’s a wiki article not a blog post. Not everyone would say he is. Opinion is what makes something fact 2601:881:200:E990:FDD3:B634:D640:9063 ( talk) 06:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
The Andrew Tate's misogyny and his misogynistic comments are in dispute, and my person, me, I believe that Tate is misogynistic, but there are several amount of people who does not share the same though with me or people as many of the editors of Andrew Tate's page, which most of them (What I saw) are from all this stuff of Human Rights, Feminism and LGBT, and that gives to me an Idea that convince you guys that we should put a note that says that the fact that Tate is misogynistic is disputed, this would fix and prevent future problems with ignorant people who are defensors of Tate such as https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Andrew_Tate&oldid=1131149061. Where Jattlife121 putted "" in the word Misogynistic. Reliable sources says that Andrew Tate is misogynistic, and by the definition of many dictionaries, He is misogynistic. Also, I'm not into the ethics and moral stuff, I do not really care about, but this is a high-profile and high-traffic article, so is better to prevent disputes and solve them by the fact that the Misogyny of Tate is disputed and that would be it. My proposal is to put a note (efn) and says that the misogyny of Tate is disputed, this would prevent vandalism, disputed and more text on the Talk Page. I understand that many people are disgusted with Tate, but Wikipedia express the text in a Neutral Point of View, and by the reliable sources in the article, Tate is misogynistic, but we should add the note because of the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia.

Other names: Top G, Cobra Tate. CobraAreku ( talk) 15:38, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
In the article, it states that "[t]wo women were found" during the initial search of the subject's property in April. From a quick skim, I couldn't see where in the three sources listed (The Guardian, The Washington Post, and BuzzFeed News) that anyone was found at his properties during the search in April (although they do support the other information in that section). I think this might have been left over from an edit that used this source (an example page that retains this source is here). The Libertatea source seems to have been removed from the current version of the page, although I'm not sure why. Is there another source for who was found at his house in April so that we can add a citation here (assuming I didn't miss it in the existing sources), or if not, can we just add the Libertatea source back in to support that statement?

Why is "American-British" still being used? The term can't be used as it goes against guidelines for WP:CONTEXTBIO regarding a subject's nationality. It even mentions this in the article in the case of Isaac Asimov, as "Per the above guidance, we do not add ethnicity ("Russian-American") or country of birth ("Russian-born American"). These details can be introduced in the second sentence if they are of defining importance."
I've made several edits meaning to fix this but the reasoning given for reverting them is that it makes the sentences "clunkier", even though it is meant to be edited to follow guidelines, and that there is a total of 4 characters changed. So why exactly are the reversions being made? SpyroeBM ( talk) 01:33, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Pinging @ RossButsy and @ TatesTopG. Tate's fighting name was indeed "King Cobra", not "Cobra" (see [8] and [9] for example).

"A self-described misogynist, Tate's controversial commentary has resulted in his suspension from several social media platforms.", this has a lot of problems and needs to be fixed. The "self-described mysoginist" shouldn't be there at all, it's ok to in someway point that a view that a lot of people have of him is that he is mysoginistic. It's also incorrect, he one time said he was a mysoginist and sexist in a podcast (A bit out of context bud he did) but "self described" doesn't make sense, if you had to write it, you should put it as "One time in a podcast Tate said he is a mysoginist" as you could put "One time in a podcast Tate said he is not a mysoginist" Saying that he got banned from social media platform because of his commentary is a non neutral point of view, a neutral point of view would be "Andrew got spendend from social media platforms, spokepersone of the company said it was because of hate speech etc" It should also be added that at the time there was a boom in popolarity, and his google searches from google trends were higher than world wide politicians, and there was a strong campaign and protest to deplatform him I would rewrite it like this: In August 2022, while in a sudden boom of popularity in Google searches and views, Andrew Tate got suspended (Or blacklisted) from major social media platforms following a strong outcry over his message, saying that it is "Extremely misogynistic" and "Harmful to the young generation of men" It would also be worth somehow noting that those tech platforms that banned him are radically leftist AkaneVento ( talk) 22:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC) The sources that were used for this sentence are reliable.

"Radically leftist" would be a massively unencyclopedic opinion; we obviously can't include that. As for how to describe him, I thought the new compromise wording would spawn fewer talk page arguments; guess that wasn't the case ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ DFlhb ( talk) 01:09, 8 January 2023 (UTC) |

It seems I was wrong to distrust Gândul as a source. BRAT.ro, an independent auditor, classifies them as "general news" rather than as a tabloid. I dug deeper, and many of their journalists have pretty solid resumés; it's also been quoted a fair bit without reservations ( WP:UBO).
(I'll note that User:.karellian-24, who is Romanian, also disagreed on it being a tabloid).
I propose we use BRAT.ro to assess Romanian sources' general reliability. Though we should likely be slightly more careful, per the studies I linked previously, which show that journalistic standards are sometimes a little inconsistent among many Romanian outlets (even established newspapers).

In the Human trafficking section it should be mentioned the arrest in April regards the same investigation as the current one. The Tates were released pending further investigation which has been confirmed at the time by the DIICOT spokeswoman. [DIICOT press release 29/12/2022] Tate has also been charged with rape as well as human trafficking and forming an organized crime group. [Ref 12 BBC]
And the term "mansion" is not entirely accurate. It is a converted warehouse, chosen purposefully by the perpetrator because of its former use as a shooting range, and strangely somehow, gives the current owner the right to carry weapons on the premises. This is in contrast with all other private homes in Romania, guns are generally not allowed and they must be stored securely if the owner has a licence. From all the reporting available this seems to be his "main residence" in Romania among the network of addresses searched by the authorities, so I suggest describing it as such instead of "Tate's Pipera, Voluntari, Bucharest mansion". Keshetsven ( talk) 06:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
chosen purposefully by the perpetrator because of its former use as a shooting rangealso appears factually false, and "perpetrator" is a WP:BLP violation. Tate has claimed, on social media, that he registered the property as a shooting range. As far as I know, we have zero indication that this is true. And no one, neither Tate nor reliable sources, claims the property was a shooting range before his purchase. But all of this is besides the point, because I don't see what it has to do with the article. DFlhb ( talk) 15:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
The rape change is going to be uncovered later, I accept that the wording is more accurate for now.
Second point was actually about wording around his Pipera mansion. Because "Pipera, Voluntari Bucharest mansion" is a very confusing description. The quoted text in green is part of my opinion, Talk Pages should allow discussion about wording in the article not police the wording in the talk page.
Also there is an update about his now 15 cars and 10 properties seized my the state. The reporting was done by the Associated Press. Should be reliable enough. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/romania-seizes-cars-tate-case-court-week-96266836

This article should use British English. Tate began his television, business, and kickboxing careers in the UK. He consistently speaks in British English and was originally only known in the UK. Not to mention sources covering his December 2022 arrest describe him as a Briton or a British citizen. There is no reason why the lede should say “organized crime” instead of “organised”. Asperthrow ( talk) 14:32, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
In the Criminal investigation section, 2015 British investigation paragraph, in one of the first lines it says "in the England" while it should obviously be "in England".

I'd like the add a sentence in the personal life section, after the sentence about his tithing to the Romanian Orthodox Church, something along the lines of "Tate later identified as
atheist.
". I believe it's due because some of his louder comments on the Internet have been in favor of atheism, and he supposedly identified as atheist for years and years during the height of his popularity. I'm having trouble finding a reliable source, though, or any sources, honestly. Most of the results for "Andrew Tate" + "atheist" yield low quality reuploads from podcasts, as well as information about a book called "The New Atheist Novel" by someone also named Andrew Tate (I sincerely doubt it's the same Andrew Tate, though.. unless?). Are there any reliable sources that mention Tate being atheist? Or one we're already using, perhaps?

I wonder if it’s worth mentioning that the Taliban reportedly expressed support for Andrew Tate, given that he is a Muslim convert and they think Western men “need” him due to allegedly being oppressed by feminists. [16]. Besides Tate’s article, another place where it might be worth adding would be the article on Sameera Khan, if it gets restored (I created it recently but another editor unilaterally deleted it without seeking consensus). Khan is the individual who reportedly persuaded the Taliban to support Tate.
On a different note, should this article be added to “Category: Pimps”? Tate has boasted about how many of his girlfriends were also his employees, and that he was the one who got them into the webcam business (and then took a cut of the money they got from making videos, because “their body belongs to him”). In other words, he has openly admitted to being, by definition, a pimp (even if he claims he didn’t violate any laws while doing so). I wonder if that is sufficient grounds for inclusion in the category. LonelyBoy2012 ( talk) 08:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
I noticed we don't include any of the texts and voicemails leaked by Vice in

Here's a link to the article. The leaks included stuff like "I love raping you"
, "Are you seriously so offended I strangled you a little bit"
and "Am I a bad person? Because the more you didn't like it, the more I enjoyed it. I fucking loved how much you hated it. It turned me on."
I do think something about these texts should be included---these are incredibly shocking things to be saying---but I could get why people might be apprehensive if Vice is the source of the leaks.

This discussion is very much a frivolous one, but I hope it'll put a smile on your face and get your mind off the grim things we've been discussing so far:
Today, AP News, ABC News and a bunch of local outlets decided that a Romanian agency was named the "National Agency for the Administration of Unavailable Assets". Strange name, right? Turns out, "Unavailable" is what Google Translate spits out as a translation for "Indisponibilizate", when you use Chrome to translate Romanian news articles.
Their real English common name is the "National Agency for the Management of Seized Assets". That's per their website, the European Commission, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the US State Department, the UK Government, and Freedom House.
What's this got to do with discussing improvements to this article? Only that if we name them, we should use their real name, not their WP:RSBREAKING rename! Frivolity over. DFlhb ( talk) 22:03, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

A reference to a Tweet is a self-published source and does not indicate anything about "most-liked" status. According to List of most-liked tweets, Twitter does not publish such information. Unfortunately that same list is lacking in reliable secondary sources which it claims do cover the topic. I am unable to support an assertion about a "most-liked Tweet" that relies on Wikipedia's own rankings. Elizium23 ( talk) 12:39, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

A particular light must be shed upon the demographic nature of Tate’s audience (majority young/teen men) and how Tate is radicalising this susceptible group. It has been well documented young audiences are highly impressionable (see source below) and that Tate is accountable for the negative ‘radicalising’ effects his social media influence has had on young men in promoting misogyny and ‘rape culture’ (see source below).
Tate presents a real danger to his audience as well as women. This must be highlighted in a documentation of his life and influence.
Proposed change: mention the radicalisation effects of Tate's influence on young men in particular
See this article in the BBC which describes an account of someone’s son being radicalised by Tate [1]

I request that the label misogynist be used in the opening few sentences to describe Tate, instead of describing his commentary as misogynistic. This man has gained all his fame and notoriety over the last five years just from his misogynistic rhetoric on social media alone; that has proved entertaining for his big audience of primarily adolescent men. He was a kick-boxer and chess player however it was his misogynistic commentary starting in 2016 that propelled him to international notoriety online, and has led to his millions of followers and large accumulation of wealth. All his interviews and online commentary will include one or two of his misogynistic views and primarily the main topic of many is what he thinks of women and their place in society and relationship to men. If he cannot be considered a 'misogynist', then no one can and avoiding the use of this hard label is ridiculous for a man like Tate. His commentary is described as misogynistic in this article because hundreds of comments of his have been misogynistic by definition, as reported by every reliable source out there, and he has consistently been using misogynistic commentary for the last several years. Just because he does not like the term or identify with it, does not mean he has to be appeased. In fact, as is mentioned in this article, Tate called himself a misogynist on several occasions while on others he opposed the label. Using the term misogynistic commentary instead of the label misogynist gives the impression to readers (who otherwise are not overtly familiar with Tate) that over the years Tate has occasionally made what can be considered by many to be misogynistic statements; the opposite is true, and Tate's entire online personality is built around misogyny and being a misogynist and saying provocative things about women. User6619018899273 ( talk) 23:14, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
If he cannot be considered a 'misogynist', then no one can-- actually, yes. I don't think we can label anyone a misogynist in Wikipedia's voice (for the reasons given at WP:WIKIVOICE and MOS:LABEL). Words like "racist" or "misogynist" are value-laden and inherently opinionated, so we can't label people with them matter-of-factly. The most I think we can say is that the person is widely/generally described as misogynistic, and I think we can also say that their actions/commentary/ideology/etc is misogynistic. We cannot even describe Hitler himself as racist; see the article Adolf Hitler, which notes that his ideology is racist, and that he is described as evil:
The historian and biographer Ian Kershaw describes Hitler as "the embodiment of modern political evil". Under Hitler's leadership and racist ideology, the Nazi regime was responsible for the genocide of...

The Andrew Tate's misogyny and his misogynistic comments are in dispute, and my person, me, I believe that Tate is misogynistic, but there are several amount of people who does not share the same though with me or people as many of the editors of Andrew Tate's page, which most of them (What I saw) are from all this stuff of Human Rights, Feminism and LGBT, and that gives to me an Idea that convince you guys that we should put a note that says that the fact that Tate is misogynistic is disputed, this would fix and prevent future problems with ignorant people who are defensors of Tate such as https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Andrew_Tate&oldid=1131149061. Where Jattlife121 putted "" in the word Misogynistic. Reliable sources says that Andrew Tate is misogynistic, and by the definition of many dictionaries, He is misogynistic. Also, I'm not into the ethics and moral stuff, I do not really care about, but this is a high-profile and high-traffic article, so is better to prevent disputes and solve them by the fact that the Misogyny of Tate is disputed and that would be it. My proposal is to put a note (efn) and says that the misogyny of Tate is disputed, this would prevent vandalism, disputed and more text on the Talk Page. I understand that many people are disgusted with Tate, but Wikipedia express the text in a Neutral Point of View, and by the reliable sources in the article, Tate is misogynistic, but we should add the note because of the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia.

In the article, it states that "[t]wo women were found" during the initial search of the subject's property in April. From a quick skim, I couldn't see where in the three sources listed (The Guardian, The Washington Post, and BuzzFeed News) that anyone was found at his properties during the search in April (although they do support the other information in that section). I think this might have been left over from an edit that used this source (an example page that retains this source is here). The Libertatea source seems to have been removed from the current version of the page, although I'm not sure why. Is there another source for who was found at his house in April so that we can add a citation here (assuming I didn't miss it in the existing sources), or if not, can we just add the Libertatea source back in to support that statement?

Why is "American-British" still being used? The term can't be used as it goes against guidelines for WP:CONTEXTBIO regarding a subject's nationality. It even mentions this in the article in the case of Isaac Asimov, as "Per the above guidance, we do not add ethnicity ("Russian-American") or country of birth ("Russian-born American"). These details can be introduced in the second sentence if they are of defining importance."
I've made several edits meaning to fix this but the reasoning given for reverting them is that it makes the sentences "clunkier", even though it is meant to be edited to follow guidelines, and that there is a total of 4 characters changed.

"A self-described misogynist, Tate's controversial commentary has resulted in his suspension from several social media platforms.", this has a lot of problems and needs to be fixed. The "self-described mysoginist" shouldn't be there at all, it's ok to in someway point that a view that a lot of people have of him is that he is mysoginistic. It's also incorrect, he one time said he was a mysoginist and sexist in a podcast (A bit out of context bud he did) but "self described" doesn't make sense, if you had to write it, you should put it as "One time in a podcast Tate said he is a mysoginist" as you could put "One time in a podcast Tate said he is not a mysoginist" Saying that he got banned from social media platform because of his commentary is a non neutral point of view, a neutral point of view would be "Andrew got spendend from social media platforms, spokepersone of the company said it was because of hate speech etc" It should also be added that at the time there was a boom in popolarity, and his google searches from google trends were higher than world wide politicians, and there was a strong campaign and protest to deplatform him I would rewrite it like this: In August 2022, while in a sudden boom of popularity in Google searches and views, Andrew Tate got suspended (Or blacklisted) from major social media platforms following a strong outcry over his message, saying that it is "Extremely misogynistic" and "Harmful to the young generation of men" It would also be worth somehow noting that those tech platforms that banned him are radically leftist AkaneVento ( talk) 22:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC) The sources that were used for this sentence are reliable.

It seems I was wrong to distrust Gândul as a source. BRAT.ro, an independent auditor, classifies them as "general news" rather than as a tabloid. I dug deeper, and many of their journalists have pretty solid resumés; it's also been quoted a fair bit without reservations ( WP:UBO).
(I'll note that User:.karellian-24, who is Romanian, also disagreed on it being a tabloid).
I propose we use BRAT.ro to assess Romanian sources' general reliability.

In the Human trafficking section it should be mentioned the arrest in April regards the same investigation as the current one. The Tates were released pending further investigation which has been confirmed at the time by the DIICOT spokeswoman. [DIICOT press release 29/12/2022] Tate has also been charged with rape as well as human trafficking and forming an organized crime group. [Ref 12 BBC]
And the term "mansion" is not entirely accurate. It is a converted warehouse, chosen purposefully by the perpetrator because of its former use as a shooting range, and strangely somehow, gives the current owner the right to carry weapons on the premises. This is in contrast with all other private homes in Romania, guns are generally not allowed and they must be stored securely if the owner has a licence. From all the reporting available this seems to be his "main residence" in Romania among the network of addresses searched by the authorities, so I suggest describing it as such instead of "Tate's Pipera, Voluntari, Bucharest mansion". Keshetsven ( talk) 06:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
chosen purposefully by the perpetrator because of its former use as a shooting rangealso appears factually false, and "perpetrator" is a WP:BLP violation. Tate has claimed, on social media, that he registered the property as a shooting range. As far as I know, we have zero indication that this is true. And no one, neither Tate nor reliable sources, claims the property was a shooting range before his purchase. But all of this is besides the point, because I don't see what it has to do with the article. DFlhb ( talk) 15:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
The rape change is going to be uncovered later, I accept that the wording is more accurate for now.
Second point was actually about wording around his Pipera mansion. Because "Pipera, Voluntari Bucharest mansion" is a very confusing description. The quoted text in green is part of my opinion, Talk Pages should allow discussion about wording in the article not police the wording in the talk page.
Also there is an update about his now 15 cars and 10 properties seized my the state. The reporting was done by the Associated Press. Should be reliable enough. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/romania-seizes-cars-tate-case-court-week-96266836

I'd like the add a sentence in the personal life section, after the sentence about his tithing to the Romanian Orthodox Church, something along the lines of "Tate later identified as
atheist.
". I believe it's due because some of his louder comments on the Internet have been in favor of atheism, and he supposedly identified as atheist for years and years during the height of his popularity. I'm having trouble finding a reliable source, though, or any sources, honestly. Most of the results for "Andrew Tate" + "atheist" yield low quality reuploads from podcasts, as well as information about a book called "The New Atheist Novel" by someone also named Andrew Tate (I sincerely doubt it's the same Andrew Tate, though.. unless?). Are there any reliable sources that mention Tate being atheist? Or one we're already using, perhaps?

I wonder if it’s worth mentioning that the Taliban reportedly expressed support for Andrew Tate, given that he is a Muslim convert and they think Western men “need” him due to allegedly being oppressed by feminists. [16]. Besides Tate’s article, another place where it might be worth adding would be the article on Sameera Khan, if it gets restored (I created it recently but another editor unilaterally deleted it without seeking consensus). Khan is the individual who reportedly persuaded the Taliban to support Tate.
On a different note, should this article be added to “Category: Pimps”? Tate has boasted about how many of his girlfriends were also his employees, and that he was the one who got them into the webcam business (and then took a cut of the money they got from making videos, because “their body belongs to him”). In other words, he has openly admitted to being, by definition, a pimp (even if he claims he didn’t violate any laws while doing so). I wonder if that is sufficient grounds for inclusion in the category. LonelyBoy2012 ( talk) 08:09, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

This discussion is very much a frivolous one, but I hope it'll put a smile on your face and get your mind off the grim things we've been discussing so far:
Today, AP News, ABC News and a bunch of local outlets decided that a Romanian agency was named the "National Agency for the Administration of Unavailable Assets". Strange name, right? Turns out, "Unavailable" is what Google Translate spits out as a translation for "Indisponibilizate", when you use Chrome to translate Romanian news articles.
Their real English common name is the "National Agency for the Management of Seized Assets". That's per their website, the European Commission, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the US State Department, the UK Government, and Freedom House.
