[edit] Can someone transfer all the maps from the Romanian wikipedia?

They have a lot of pictures of "cities within counties" types of maps that are not available in the English language wiki. Nergaal 23:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Anyone working on this should bring these to Commons, so they can be used in all languages. - Jmabel | Talk 04:16, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Is Romania actually a B-rated article by this WP?

Somebody should probably rereview that rating.

[edit] Bucharest and Sibiu should be targeted for FA level

[edit] Insula Serpilor

Shouldn't the Snake Island also be included on the WP Romania? It is currently only on the Ukraine project. Just a question, I don't know how these things work just yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.16.148.119 (talk) 19:43, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Live project?

Is this a live project? If so, how does it differ from the (rather active) Wikipedia:Romanian Wikipedians' notice board? - Jmabel | Talk 20:04, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bilateral relations discussion

I would like to invite you all to participate in a discussion at this thread regarding bilateral relations between two countries. All articles related to foreign relations between countries are now under the scope of WikiProject Foreign relations, a newly created project. We hope that the discussion will result in a more clean and organized way of explaining such relationships. Thank you. Ed ¿Cómo estás? 18:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin cultures

Hello everyone! You may want to go to Latin cultures an participate in the article and discussion. There are a lot of disputed statements... The Ogre 12:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article check

Would someone mind checking out Anti-Romanian massacres in north Transylvania, 1940-1944 for bias or other madness? There seems to be POV in the 'Background info' section. --Tagishsimon (talk) —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 00:35, August 24, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silvia Cambir

Silvia Cambir has been nominated for deletion; the discussion is located here. Comments are welcome and assistance in translating sources would be most appreciated. Thank you, Black Falcon (Talk) 02:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expert review: Tohanul Nou

As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Tohanul Nou is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 09:53, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help! MfD nomination for Portal:Transylvania

I'm trying to save Portal:Transylvania from an MfD nomination. Any help, particularly from anyone who knows something about the topic, would be much appreciated.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 00:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub Table

Can we somehow make the table collapse? If not, would anyone object to moving it to a subpage with a link where the table is now?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 05:56, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

For now, I've collapsed it, it's a little ugly, but better than scrolling down for a year to get to the other templates.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 06:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar templates

Hi, there are efforts to delete several barnstar templates, I think you might be interested and add your opinion here [1]. ≈Tulkolahten≈≈talk≈ 08:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help, please

A number of one-line articles on interwar counties judeţ have been added to our WP. One has already been targeted for deletion (Hotin County). There are more detailed articles on the ro.wp which could be translated. I did that for Hotin County (can someone please check, because I am not fluent in Romanian - but it's close enough to most Latin languages so I gave it a try. Please leave me a message on my talk page, because these could benefit from people who are fluent in Romanian. Carlossuarez46 19:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FC Steaua Bucureşti move request

A user has requested that the article FC Steaua Bucureşti be moved to FC Steaua Bucharest. The outcome of that discussion may affect the naming of the articles of other football clubs in Bucharest. If you wish to join the discussion, you can do so at Talk:FC Steaua Bucureşti#Requested move. AecisBrievenbus 12:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tudor Aaron Istodor

Hello,

the article Tudor Aaron Istodor has been listed as requiring expert attention; see the talk page. Basically, the article does not list sufficient sources, and while some may exist, they are probably in Romanian. Can someone have a look? --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Communes Categories

Hi all - I am creating commune categories for all the counties that seem to need it. I hope this will improve the organization and accessibility of those articles. If anyone has complaints, comments, questions, etc, please contact me on my talk page. Aelfthrytha (talk) 01:01, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Task Force Transylvania?

Any thoughts on this? It was proposed as a full fledged project at Wikipedia:COUNCIL/P#WikiProject_Transylvania but comments there were to make it a task force, as a dual task force of this project and WP:European history it could bring more interest to both projects.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 20:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

  • If interested, please sign up at the proposal link.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 20:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Latin Europe

Hello WikiProject Romania! There is a vote going on at Latin Europe that might interest you. Please everyone, do come and give your opinion and votes. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 20:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cînde

Hi,

Can anyone please check that the article Cînde is about a notable person?

Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Have checked, and it is not. Dahn (talk) 01:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Piata Unu Mai

This page doesn't exist. Why not? Basketball110 20:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't exist because it hasn't been created. Maybe you should... dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 01:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
I have no idea what this is about. Are we talking about the square in Bucharest? If so, yes, it could be an article (not sure if it should be one). Please note that the proper title for such an article is not "Piata Unu Mai", it is Piaţa 1 Mai - the diacritic, and the fact that dates in Romanian are almost never spelled out in letters (it literally means "1st of May Square" - similarly, one doesn't use "Calea Treizeci Septembrie" for "September 30 Avenue", but the more obvious "Calea 30 Septembrie"). Dahn (talk) 01:43, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mayors of Bucharest

Time Out Bucureşti has started a series on the historical mayors of Bucharest. See, for example, [2]. Might be useful source material for some articles, or simply for adding citations to some existing articles.

[edit] Communes

I'm planning on starting articles (pitiful stubs, really) for each of Romania's 2686 communes. Once complete, this will allow us to merge extraneous articles. Let's put check marks next to the counties as they are completed, and double-check everything at the end. Biruitorul (talk) 18:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ciprian Porumbescu

I was browsing RC a little while ago, and a Romanian anon turned this into this, which had a heckuva lot more information, so I copy-edited to this, which is lacking in citations and involves a little bit of synthesis from the source text. It still isn't pretty, though, partly because it's very hard to find many sources in English.

So, fyi: I expanded a well-known Romanian composer from stub status to ... well, something. And now I'm at a loss. Much of the text at the moment is a copy-edit of the source text provided by the anon, so not much has changed aside from format and grammar (a bunch was removed). The talk page elaborates a bit on the things that could be added. Just thought this would be the best place to go. Xavexgoem (talk) 13:12, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Also, a lot of things in that article may be plain wrong. I didn't remove all of the peacock terminology, and sometimes mass attributed to make ends meet.

[edit] New naming convention

Mostly Hungarian and Slovak editors are discussing a new naming convention for places in the former Kingdom of Hungary at User_talk:Elonka/Hungarian-Slovakian_experiment#Proposed_naming_convention. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Since these new rules might be later regarded as a precedent by non-involved editors (remember the Danzig/Gdansk case?), I think you will find this ongoing discussion and poll interesting.

[edit] Flag of Romania

Would it be all right if I replace the article here with the translation of the Romanian version? If not, what other solutions do you propose?--Alex:Dan (talk) 23:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not seeing a significant problem with the current article? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Not so much info, perhaps? Not to mention about the lack of bibliography. --Alex:Dan (talk) 09:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, well, you can import that info from the Romanian article, if you like. Remember to cite the sources you import. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 11:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Romania showing up in Stub Categories

DYK that your Project is showing up in your stub categories? This can be remedied by putting a semi-colon : before the word Category. Kathleen.wright5 23:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Draft Guidelines for Lists of companies by country - Feedback Requested

Within WikiProject Companies I am trying to establish guidelines for all Lists of companies by country, the implementation of which would hopefully ensure a minimum quality standard and level of consistency across all of these related but currently disparate articles. The ultimate goal is the improvement of these articles to Featured List status. As a WikiProject that currently has one of these lists within your scope, I would really appreciate your feedback! You can find the draft guidelines here. Thanks for your help as we look to build consensus and improve Wikipedia! - Richc80 (talk) 13:58, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
