[edit] Liberation

Bucharesters greet the Red Army liberating the city on 31 August 1944.

I dispute the word "liberation":

Bucharest was already in the hands of the pro-Allies forces when the Soviets came, so it was not a "liberation". A liberation is only when the control of an area changes and that happened a week before, without the help of the Red Army.

The Red Army came in as an ally, that's why it was greeted, but in only a few months, the "friendly" Soviet ally turned into an oppressive occupier. bogdan 11:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Premeses"

Not sure what this means to say. Not an English word to the best of my knowledge, and the only similar English word I can think of, "premises", makes no sense here. - Jmabel | Talk 22:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cable car

I doubt there ever was a "mass transit system using rail cars that are propelled by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed" in Bucharest.Axi 17:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You're right. Replaced with Trolley pole, cause I guess that is accurate. Dahn 17:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
