You're putting some great images on Convento de Cristo, thanks! However, you don't mention where you got them. Can you please add their source to their image description pages? If you have any questions, you can send me a message. Foobaz·✐ 23:53, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks very much. You did label all of them except Image:Kitchen.jpg. I just saw that one wasn't, and i didn't even check the others! I copied your info to that one. Sorry for the inconvenience. Foobaz·✐ 03:56, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Cristian, I haven't noticed you Sign your name in yet in your contributions on Talk Pages, and this might be because you don't know the code (as I didn't know it for my first few months of Wikipedia usage). To Sign (of course not in articles), press ```` (four times) while holding down Shift. On my keyboard ` is located before the key for the number 1.

[edit] Codex Aureus of Lorsch

Thank you for the article Codex Aureus of Lorsch. I;m always excited to see a new article on an illuminated manuscript. I've made a few changes, I hope you don't mind. I removed a few of the external links because they didn't seem particuarly useful. I recatagorized the article to be in "Illuminated manuscripts" rather than as simply "Manuscripts". I removed the "Books" category because "Illuminated manuscripts" is a subcategory of "Manuscripts" which is a subcategory of "Books". I also uploaded one of the images to which you provided a link. I see from your edit history that you are interested in Balkan history. If you have a great deal of interest in the medieval end of it, you might want to join us at the Wikiproject for the Middle Ages. Dsmdgold 12:22, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Templar List

Hi, I was wondering what your intention was with Templars List. Is it supposed to be a list of every Templar who ever lived? That seems like a rather overambitious task...we already have a list of grand masters on Knights Templar, and there's no way to know the names of every other Templar, aside from a few who happen to be mentioned for whatever reason. So I was just curious what the purpose of it was. Adam Bishop 21:17, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Syriac Gospels

Hi, you added a 5th century Syriac Gospels at the Biblioteca Laurenziana in Florence to List of Late Antique, Medieval, and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts. So, far as I remember the only early illuminated Syriac Gospel Book in Florence is the Rabula Gospels, which is from the 6th century, and is on the list. Is this the one you meant or is my memory wrong? I won't be able to get to the library until next Tuesday to check. Dsmdgold 22:58, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grand Masters of the Knights Templar

Sure, merge it to the list is fine too. Or wherever. I just marked it for merge because I came across it as a new article and it was at least partly duplicated elsewhere--it didn't seem like we needed a new a different list. --Tabor 18:52, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hagia Sophia

The image you posted is not an "Artistic Representation" it's a "cleansed" representation, with all Muslim elements removed. This is the very definition of POV, akin to Photoshopping the Dome of the Rock from Jerusalem, or NYC from Manhattan. I also wonder about its copyright status. I saw that image somewhere once, and I did not have the impression if was GLFD. Lectiodifficilior 22:35, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • 1.Yes indeed the image I've posted is an "Artistic Representation" with a "cleansed" representation, with all Muslim elements removed. Please consider that the "cleansed" was not made from religious pov but from historical point of view.I don't consider the umage as POV because was a time when the image of church was looking in this way. It is not something fantastic but an artistic representation of the church before the muslim coquest. I don't think that a recostruction of an image hurt someones feelings.Considering the history of the church I don't think taht the reconstruction will hurt muslim feeling, because they must be very proud that the church was preserved almoust 100%.
  • I also wonder about its copyright status:
    • the image is declared PD on orthodoxwiki , the the link is on the image page.
    • Q: How can you picture a former Orthodox Greek church? Or this is forbiden?

please reconsider the POV, is interesting from historic point of view, and remember that the church was protected and preserved when the Constantinopole fall by the muslims. CristianChirita 07:12, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I'm moving the discussion of that image to the talk page for Hagia Sophia. I hope that's okay. Lectiodifficilior

[edit] Using government text

On two articles (dual-use technology and ECCN) you seem to have just pasted in text from a government website and put an image copyright tag on it. This is not how articles are written on Wikipedia. Links to other sites are appropriate, but making entries based on pasted text is generally not encouraged (there are a few exceptions). And image tags such as Template:PD-USGov are for use on images only, not text. Thanks. --Fastfission 02:55, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright law

Hello Constantin,

I've seen your note on the Romanian Noticeboard concerning "Dictionarul Enciclopedic Romin aparut la editura politica Bucuresti 1962-1967".

Are you a specialist in copyright law? If yes, I would like to know whether "Enciclopedia Romaniei" edited by D. Gusti in the late 1930s and beginning of 1940s is now in public domain. I have it, I have a scanner and OCR software, and I think that it contains loads of meaningful info. I just don't know whether it's OK to publish it. Sorry, I',m not a specialist in law. Still the law mentioned

The law applied for this enciclopedia should be "Legea asupra proprietatii literare si artistice, din 28 iunie 1923"

One difference between the 1956 law and 1923(28.06.1923) law in that the right for heritage of the work is preseved during all his life and 30 years for their heirs, the 1956 law specified 50 years for heirs. With the exception of the enciclopedia authors and heirs wich have the intelectual rights only 20 years.(http://poezie.ro/index.php/essay/65223/ La articolul 6, privind transmiterea drepturilor prin mostenire, se prevede: "Sotul si ascendentii autorului beneficiaza de aceste drepturi tot timpul vietii lor; descendentii - timp de 50 de ani (fata de 30 de ani cât era prevazut în vechea lege) So from my point of view the enciclopedia intelectual right have expired either using the 1923 law or either the 1956 law. Bu t remember I'm not an authorithy is my understanding of the law. CristianChirita

[edit] Casa Presei Libere

From what I see, the Romanian building is quite ordinary for the former Warsaw Pact countries. There are lots of such buildings in Kiev, Riga, and many Russian cities. I see no direct relation to the Moscow State University. Check the article on Stalinist architecture to learn more about similar structures. --Ghirla | talk 12:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Sealtemplarsbarrech2.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Sealtemplarsbarrech2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. gren グレン ? 06:17, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your query

The "chronicles" you mention are very late (16th and 17th century) Ruthenian compilations replete with most weird fantasies. They need to be treated very cautiously, especially in everything that concerns genealogies and early Middle Ages. --Ghirla | talk 16:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ORCA

Be careful on what you do. You're not allowed to create another user account and redirect it from here. Alexander did this and he was blocked and accused of sockpuppetry. I suggest you ask an admin to delete ORCA, explaining to him that you didn't know about the rule, etc. If you want to change your username, go to your account and do it from there. Only your signature will then change. I see that you haven't used your ORCA account at all, which is good, because no-one can really accuse you of sockpuppetry. --Candide, or Optimism 19:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC) I want to delete the old account.

[edit] John Hunyadi

And just why are we to include him in cat:Romanian military leaders? Dahn 18:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a question of categorization, not definition (no encyclopaedia but this one would have to deal with that topic). Hunyadi was not a suldier of Romania or of a Romanian polity. At best, he was a Hungarian soldier of Romanian lineage. I believe this is a general and acceptable guideline: for example, Washington features in "English Americans", but would never feature in "English soldiers" or "English politicians". At the same time, a category for "Romanian Hungarians", if created, could lead to countless absurdities (which you could get a glimpse of by looking through Category:Natives of Transylvania). This is a very problematic issue, and its inclusion in that category is absurd on several levels - please see the discussion on John Hunyadi on user talk:Telex. Dahn 19:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Do we agree on these topics? Dahn 20:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Why do you use double measures? As he was "not a soldier of Romania or of a Romanian polity", he was neither a "Hungarian soldier". "Hungarian" means (nowadays) an ethnic Hungarian. And this contravenes with the sources which call him a Vlach. And you asked "wich Romanians did he lead". How about the Transylvanian Romanians, which made up the bulk of his army. If it was enough for the croatian sources to call the army of the "Roman colony of Dacia", why isn`t that enough for you? greier 20:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Romania nuts l2.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Little context in Transylvanian History Museum

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Transylvanian History Museum, by RichardColgate (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Transylvanian History Museum is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Transylvanian History Museum, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 12:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


  • I see that you recreated Transylvanian History Museum after it was deleted, and placed a "Hangon" tag on it. You may not have been aware that a hangon tag itself places a page in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. It is only intended to be used when a page has a db-tag already in place. If you are working on the page, and want to be sure that editors are aware of this and don't delete it (or tag it for deletion) without being aware, may I suggest the {{underconstruction}} tag, or the {{inuse}} tag if you are actively editing and expect to be done in an hour or so. In future, you might want to create articles in a user sub page, and move them into the main article space only when they are complete enough not to be speedy deleted. You could, for example, have created User:CristianChirita/Transylvanian History Museum. Such user sub-pages are not held to the same standards as articles, provided that they are reasonably temporary. DES (talk) 16:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images on Commons

Hello!

I came across several images uploaded by you on Commons, falling in commons:Category:Templars Seal, that are tagged with {{PD-Seal}}. Well, since being a seal doesn't put them on public domain, that tag has been deprecated and I've been going through files tagged with it. Many of the files you uploaded are stated by you as having being made on Gimp; however, you must have based your work somewhere, and that would be the real source for those images. Would you be so kind to go through your uploads belonging to that category and retag them appropriately? Otherwise, I may have to set up a deletion request for them and let the community decide what to do. Cheers, PatríciaR msg 14:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Dear Cristian, I'm very sorry you think this request is a witch hunt and that you feel bad about this issue, wanting therefore to stop contributing to Wikimedia projects. It was certainly not my intention to make that happen. I don't know what was this talk about turning your work from GFDL to PD, but if it's the conversation you had further up on your Commons talk page with Duesentrieb, then I understood that you agreed to make the seals public domain because there was no significant transformation. The question is, transformation from what. All we'd like to know is the original source for your work on GIMP and such, where you took the original images from... it's not just a matter of knowing how old these insignias really are (because I have no doubt that they are really old, and should probably be PD-old) but also to present a source from which people can be sure the information is reliable; this is a standard principle on Wikipedia, and images are not excluded from such principle... Please do not take this request personally; I'd hate to see your work go, I'm really trying to save these images, I don't want to delete them. Thank you for your patience.
