Seriously, you are going out of your way with the river pages. It is nice that you contribute, but think of how many people will visit those pages like Ceptura River. you do not even have a length for it! This is my suggestion and I think it would give some chance of users to actually read those articles. First decide how to grou rivers (for example say [[Affluents of <inser river>]], say Olt) and then have a very detailed table with length, counties, etc, etc. I STRONGLY suggest to redirect ALL the rivers that have less than 100km to the main page (say Affluents of Olt). This wa, the notability guidile will be at least partially enforced. Thanks and I hope this helped. Nergaal ( talk) 23:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
"The information about the rivers wil be gradually increased after the network information and the links indicating the tributaries of each river and the mouth of each river will be identified and included in the articles." like what information do you actually think will be 'gradually' added? seriously? I am going to give a personal example: I have created 11 articles on the metropolitan zones in Romania (not tenths as you seem to be creating). each zone has hundrets of thousants of inhabitants, of which some could contribute. unfortunatelly it doesn't really happen. and if for example the metropolitan zone of Bucharest, there are few people who add information, how many people do you think even know about Ceptura river in order to contribute??

I'm not sure whether you have Mureş River on your watchlist, so I'll write it again on your talk page. I don't think the present contents of the infoboxes in Romanian river articles are how they should be. Are all the mentioned villages notable (BTW I wouldn't call Târgu Mureş and Arad villages)? Are all the mentioned rivers really major tributaries? If we really want to give all this information, I think it should go into the main text of the articles, and only the really important places (e.g. population over 20,000) and rivers (e.g. length over 50 km, or average discharge over 5 m³/s, or more than 20% of the discharge of the main river) into the infobox. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes). This probably goes for more articles about rivers in Romania, I just stumbled upon this one. Markussep Talk 22:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I am still compiling the data on rivers. When I will get all the basic information in place I will sort it out. The figures you indicate cannot be applied identically to all countries or all rivers. The size of the tributaries cannot be the same for the Mississippi and for the Mureş, neither can the localities. There are also other criteria for which rivers might be important, except their discharge. Just give me time to finish. I have not yet worked on the discharge data.

Hi Afil,
I just discovered that there are two categories for the Tisza/Tisa and its tributaries: Category:Rivers of the Tisa-Iza-Vişeu subbasin and Category:Tisza basin. I started a categories for merger discussion here. Maybe there are more duplicates, see Category:Danube basin and its subcategories. Also, the subbasins of the Tisza should be subcategories, I already added the Criş basin. I think it's an interesting way to organise the river articles. If I have time some day, I can help.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that

Ok, I can perhaps understand why you would consider naming to the "dja" variant (though I'm pretty sure neither of the guys involved in editing those pages checked to see if the name is really preferred in English). But why on Earth would you even consider Francizing the given names? It would make sense to assign those guys their English names (per what other royals are named, and presuming it is being done in the real world), their Greek names (per what they were), or their Romanian names (since that's where they ruled). Either would be fine. But the French names? I mean, come on, are we back to experimenting? Dahn ( talk) 21:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello Afil, concerning the English version I signalated to Dahn that for me the anglization of the given name "Ioan Gheorge" would also be fine, I just had a justified issue with "Caragea". But the actual version is fine for me as well, so please feel free to decide and change if you think it is of use (but we should do it than again in all related pages).

I just looked over your contribution and I noticed you created 8000 articles on small rivers in Romania. Do you realize that probably a hundred or two can be full articles, for the rest they're going to be perpetual stubs because there's nothing to write on them. Probably more than half of them are not even rivers, but streams that get water only in the rainy seasons and they're just ravines in the rest.
Anyway, is there going to be more about Andronic River than what it is now: "The Andronic River is a tributary of the Bistriţa River in Romania."?
Don't you think it would be more appropriate for them to be merged in a list? bogdan ( talk) 23:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
My own, unsolicited opinion: had I been asked before you began the project, I would have advised putting the rivers in some sort of list, with the possibility of splitting off entries once more information became available. At this point, though, I say we should keep the 8000: a) sunk cost - it's been a tremendous effort; and b) unlike in other domains, where we can leave out less notable entities, an argument can be made (and is being made rather strongly due to the size of this endeavour) that we can only have a complete and accurate picture of Romania's hydrological landscape once every river is listed. So I say: here's to the next 8000! Biruitorul ( talk) 03:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of
Jiu and pasted it into
Jiu (disambiguation). This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's
history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a
redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the
"Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at
Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at
Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Finally, in this case, the end result will be to move the page back to its original title, because it is now a
malplaced disambiguation page. Thank you.

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours.

În primul rând, mulţumesc frumos, scuze pentru întârzâiere, şi Adevărat a înviat! As for the communes: I fully agree the articles need proper expansion - links to ro.wiki, references, coordinates, and so on. However, my goal right now is just to start those articles, and go back later for expansion - I think it's a good idea to be able to say we have an article on each commune, no matter how short at first. Regarding naming: as I understood it, if there's only one commune by a certain name (say Sâncel), then the county name isn't added, but if there is (say Dumbrăveni, Suceava and Dumbrăveni, Constanţa) then it should be. However, I can see how adding the county everywhere would be more efficient, and that is something we should discuss, maybe on the noticeboard. Biruitorul ( talk) 18:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alif, I noticed that you moved History of Moldova to History of the Republic of Moldova. I reverted the move, since customarily in such situations the short name of the country is used. For example, for the history of Bulgaria the article is called History of Bulgaria, not History of the Republic of Bulgaria. Do you believe that there are any extraordinary circumstances in the case of Moldova that would justify using the full name in the history article? If you are thinking about the ambiguity of the word "Moldova," which can refer to both country and the historical region in Romanian, in English (and especially on the English Wikipedia), the word Moldavia is generally used for the region and Moldova for the country, in order to remove this ambiguity.

Hi, your edit reflects a common misunderstanding of terms. A violonist is someone who plays the violone, while a violinist is someone who plays the violin.

Si tu as un moment à consacrer à Wikipedia anglophone, voudrais-tu s'il te plaît regarder un peu les articles Moldovan language, Controversy over national identity over the Republic of Moldova, Abstand language et Ausbau language, et me donner ton opinion ?
Le problème sur ces articles est que les contributeurs les plus travailleurs et présents (par exemple Xasha ou Illythr) ont beaucoup de culture politique, mais peu de culture scientifique, et ils commettent des amalgames et des anachronismes :
Chaque fois que j'apporte une contribution, ils affirment que c'est un POV nationaliste roumain, ils me l'effacent, ou bien ils mettent en doute les références, et si c'est un article, ils le proposent à la suppression.
J'ai aussi des difficultés avec quelques contributeurs roumains (dont l'un s'appelle Bonaparte der Kaiser, pourtant il vit aussi en Allemagne). Ceux-ci non plus n'admettent pas les références scientifiques. La référence scientifique, c'est qu'il y a 4 langues est-romanes: l'Istro-roman jadis parlé en Istrie, l'Aroman (que vous appelez Aromuner) parlé en Macédoine, le Mégléno-roman (disparu) et le DACO-ROMAN appelé Roumain en Roumanie et Moldave en Moldavie. On peut aussi, en Français, admettre les mots: Istro-roumain, Aroumain, Megleno-roumain et Daco-roumain.
Mais, pour beaucoup de contributeurs roumains, il n'y a qu'une langue: le Roumain, point. L'Istro-roumain, l'Aroumain et le Megleno-roumain ne sont que des dialectes du Roumain qui est le seul nom correct. Cette position découle du combat des historiens roumains pour démontrer la continuité latinophone en Roumanie contre Rössler : la Roumanie actuelle étant pour eux le seul foyer ancestral admissible, forcément les Istro-roumains, Aroumains et Megleno-roumain ne peuvent venir que de Dacie, donc ce sont des dialectes.
Ne pas arriver à partager des connaissances scientifiques vérifiées et référencées (et qui existent aussi dans Wikipédia, dans d'autres articles), c'est assez frustrant et cela décourage. De plus, dans un domaine aussi restreint que la Moldavie, il n'y a pas assez de spécialistes qui soient idéologiquement et émotionnellement neutres.
Sur le Wikipédia français c'est plus facile qu'en Anglais ou Roumain, parce que c'est un sujet qui suscite surtout de l'indifférence dans le monde francophone.
J'imagine que Moldau/Moldawien, cela doit être dans le style "GLADIATOR" sur le Wikipedia allemand aussi, avec tous les roumanophones et les russophones que vous avez... Ca doit ressembler aux polémiques TURCS/KURDES ou CHINOIS/TIBETAINS...

OK with this your opinion. Thank you for writing in french. It's so easier for me ! Coana Chiriţa and the governments are not scientific referencies. For my opinion, scientists ans scholars must use the words: "East Romance languages", and in this category:
But you're right, the consensus is not for today... And the actual "Romanian" is a pidgin. From my opinion, one root of this problems is the confusion between "ethnicity" (Droit du Sang in french: history, culture, language, music, faith...) and citizenship (Droit du Sol in french: the political belong). I'm a "mixed bastard" by origins (Aroman, Greek, Romanian and others) but I'm a Frenchman by citizenship and also by a large part of my past and my culture. Another root is the miss of knowledge. When we keep some knowledge, we have more doubts, more tolerance, more opened mind.
I hope to see, may be a day before my death, the citizens of Moldova to became equally Moldovans, all of them, and the citizens of Romania to became equally Romanians, all of them (selon le Droit du Sol), with the entire liberty to be, by culture, romanians, russians, hungarians, even meltenians if they want (see "Hospodariat de Melténie" on the french Wikipedia, between the "Micronations").

I'm not too sure what your talking about. I haven't tagged any stub pages have I? Dustihowe Talk 16:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether you have Mureş River on your watchlist, so I'll write it again on your talk page. I don't think the present contents of the infoboxes in Romanian river articles are how they should be. Are all the mentioned villages notable (BTW I wouldn't call Târgu Mureş and Arad villages)? Are all the mentioned rivers really major tributaries? If we really want to give all this information, I think it should go into the main text of the articles, and only the really important places (e.g. population over 20,000) and rivers (e.g. length over 50 km, or average discharge over 5 m³/s, or more than 20% of the discharge of the main river) into the infobox. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes). This probably goes for more articles about rivers in Romania, I just stumbled upon this one. Markussep Talk 22:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I am still compiling the data on rivers. When I will get all the basic information in place I will sort it out. The figures you indicate cannot be applied identically to all countries or all rivers. The size of the tributaries cannot be the same for the Mississippi and for the Mureş, neither can the localities. There are also other criteria for which rivers might be important, except their discharge. Just give me time to finish. I have not yet worked on the discharge data.

Another editor has added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Gherpălocul Mare River, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{ prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Afil,
I just discovered that there are two categories for the Tisza/Tisa and its tributaries: Category:Rivers of the Tisa-Iza-Vişeu subbasin and Category:Tisza basin. I started a categories for merger discussion here. Maybe there are more duplicates, see Category:Danube basin and its subcategories. Also, the subbasins of the Tisza should be subcategories, I already added the Criş basin. I think it's an interesting way to organise the river articles. If I have time some day, I can help.

A tag has been placed on Fântâniţa River (Chilbucuţ), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that
administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{

to the article and state your intention on the article's
talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Ok, I can perhaps understand why you would consider naming to the "dja" variant (though I'm pretty sure neither of the guys involved in editing those pages checked to see if the name is really preferred in English). But why on Earth would you even consider Francizing the given names? It would make sense to assign those guys their English names (per what other royals are named, and presuming it is being done in the real world), their Greek names (per what they were), or their Romanian names (since that's where they ruled). Either would be fine. But the French names? I mean, come on, are we back to experimenting? Dahn ( talk) 21:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello Afil, concerning the English version I signalated to Dahn that for me the anglization of the given name "Ioan Gheorge" would also be fine, I just had a justified issue with "Caragea". But the actual version is fine for me as well, so please feel free to decide and change if you think it is of use (but we should do it than again in all related pages). Thanks again for the help and have a nice evening, Stenic74 ( talk) 17:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I just looked over your contribution and I noticed you created 8000 articles on small rivers in Romania. Do you realize that probably a hundred or two can be full articles, for the rest they're going to be perpetual stubs because there's nothing to write on them. Probably more than half of them are not even rivers, but streams that get water only in the rainy seasons and they're just ravines in the rest.
Anyway, is there going to be more about Andronic River than what it is now: "The Andronic River is a tributary of the Bistriţa River in Romania."?
Don't you think it would be more appropriate for them to be merged in a list? bogdan ( talk) 23:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
My own, unsolicited opinion: had I been asked before you began the project, I would have advised putting the rivers in some sort of list, with the possibility of splitting off entries once more information became available. At this point, though, I say we should keep the 8000: a) sunk cost - it's been a tremendous effort; and b) unlike in other domains, where we can leave out less notable entities, an argument can be made (and is being made rather strongly due to the size of this endeavour) that we can only have a complete and accurate picture of Romania's hydrological landscape once every river is listed. So I say: here's to the next 8000! Biruitorul ( talk) 03:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of
Jiu and pasted it into
Jiu (disambiguation). This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's
history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a
redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the
"Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at
Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at
Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Finally, in this case, the end result will be to move the page back to its original title, because it is now a
malplaced disambiguation page. Thank you.

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 17:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

În primul rând, mulţumesc frumos, scuze pentru întârzâiere, şi Adevărat a înviat! As for the communes: I fully agree the articles need proper expansion - links to ro.wiki, references, coordinates, and so on. However, my goal right now is just to start those articles, and go back later for expansion - I think it's a good idea to be able to say we have an article on each commune, no matter how short at first. Regarding naming: as I understood it, if there's only one commune by a certain name (say Sâncel), then the county name isn't added, but if there is (say Dumbrăveni, Suceava and Dumbrăveni, Constanţa) then it should be. However, I can see how adding the county everywhere would be more efficient, and that is something we should discuss, maybe on the noticeboard. Biruitorul ( talk) 18:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alif, I noticed that you moved History of Moldova to History of the Republic of Moldova. I reverted the move, since customarily in such situations the short name of the country is used. For example, for the history of Bulgaria the article is called History of Bulgaria, not History of the Republic of Bulgaria. Do you believe that there are any extraordinary circumstances in the case of Moldova that would justify using the full name in the history article? If you are thinking about the ambiguity of the word "Moldova," which can refer to both country and the historical region in Romanian, in English (and especially on the English Wikipedia), the word Moldavia is generally used for the region and Moldova for the country, in order to remove this ambiguity.

Hi, your edit reflects a common misunderstanding of terms. A violonist is someone who plays the violone, while a violinist is someone who plays the violin. It seems that this is a common mistranslation from the French, where a violinist is called violoniste, because the violin is called violon, which however is clearly different from French violone. I reverted your edits. Cheers, -- FordPrefect42 ( talk) 13:19, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Si tu as un moment à consacrer à Wikipedia anglophone, voudrais-tu s'il te plaît regarder un peu les articles Moldovan language, Controversy over national identity over the Republic of Moldova, Abstand language et Ausbau language, et me donner ton opinion ?
Le problème sur ces articles est que les contributeurs les plus travailleurs et présents (par exemple Xasha ou Illythr) ont beaucoup de culture politique, mais peu de culture scientifique, et ils commettent des amalgames et des anachronismes :
Chaque fois que j'apporte une contribution, ils affirment que c'est un POV nationaliste roumain, ils me l'effacent, ou bien ils mettent en doute les références, et si c'est un article, ils le proposent à la suppression.
J'ai aussi des difficultés avec quelques contributeurs roumains (dont l'un s'appelle Bonaparte der Kaiser, pourtant il vit aussi en Allemagne). Ceux-ci non plus n'admettent pas les références scientifiques. La référence scientifique, c'est qu'il y a 4 langues est-romanes: l'Istro-roman jadis parlé en Istrie, l'Aroman (que vous appelez Aromuner) parlé en Macédoine, le Mégléno-roman (disparu) et le DACO-ROMAN appelé Roumain en Roumanie et Moldave en Moldavie. On peut aussi, en Français, admettre les mots: Istro-roumain, Aroumain, Megleno-roumain et Daco-roumain.
Mais, pour beaucoup de contributeurs roumains, il n'y a qu'une langue: le Roumain, point. L'Istro-roumain, l'Aroumain et le Megleno-roumain ne sont que des dialectes du Roumain qui est le seul nom correct. Cette position découle du combat des historiens roumains pour démontrer la continuité latinophone en Roumanie contre Rössler : la Roumanie actuelle étant pour eux le seul foyer ancestral admissible, forcément les Istro-roumains, Aroumains et Megleno-roumain ne peuvent venir que de Dacie, donc ce sont des dialectes.
Ne pas arriver à partager des connaissances scientifiques vérifiées et référencées (et qui existent aussi dans Wikipédia, dans d'autres articles), c'est assez frustrant et cela décourage. De plus, dans un domaine aussi restreint que la Moldavie, il n'y a pas assez de spécialistes qui soient idéologiquement et émotionnellement neutres.
Sur le Wikipédia français c'est plus facile qu'en Anglais ou Roumain, parce que c'est un sujet qui suscite surtout de l'indifférence dans le monde francophone.
J'imagine que Moldau/Moldawien, cela doit être dans le style "GLADIATOR" sur le Wikipedia allemand aussi, avec tous les roumanophones et les russophones que vous avez... Ca doit ressembler aux polémiques TURCS/KURDES ou CHINOIS/TIBETAINS...

OK with this your opinion. Thank you for writing in french. It's so easier for me ! Coana Chiriţa and the governments are not scientific referencies. For my opinion, scientists ans scholars must use the words: "East Romance languages", and in this category:
But you're right, the consensus is not for today... And the actual "Romanian" is a pidgin. From my opinion, one root of this problems is the confusion between "ethnicity" (Droit du Sang in french: history, culture, language, music, faith...) and citizenship (Droit du Sol in french: the political belong). I'm a "mixed bastard" by origins (Aroman, Greek, Romanian and others) but I'm a Frenchman by citizenship and also by a large part of my past and my culture. Another root is the miss of knowledge. When we keep some knowledge, we have more doubts, more tolerance, more opened mind.
I hope to see, may be a day before my death, the citizens of Moldova to became equally Moldovans, all of them, and the citizens of Romania to became equally Romanians, all of them (selon le Droit du Sol), with the entire liberty to be, by culture, romanians, russians, hungarians, even meltenians if they want (see "Hospodariat de Melténie" on the french Wikipedia, between the "Micronations").
