Vasile, if you have any interest in working on Reign of Terror, please go for it. It's on my long list of articles I eventually want to work on, but it's so far down that it will be at least months until I get there. First, I'm trying to do accurate articles on the French Revolution down through the abolition of the monarchy; I haven't started on the Convention years. And I keep being distracted by the continual tendency of articles Jew, left-wing politics, right-wing politics, conservatism, and political liberalism (and a few others of that ilk) to drift off into opinionated messes. I keep trying to pull them back towards neutrality, but it really eats my time. If you want to see a real mess, have a look at Left-wing_politics#Leftism.2C_Pacifism_and_.22War_on_Terror.22 (& see my critique at Talk:Left-wing_politics#Leftism.2C_Pacifism_and_.22War_on_Terror.22). -- Jmabel 06:47, Jul 24, 2004 (UTC)

Is there a reason to add Guillaume Marie Anne Brune to Category:French Revolution as well as Category:French Revolutionary Wars? The latter category is subordinate to the former, and as far as I know his significance was as a soldier. -- Jmabel 17:54, Jul 30, 2004 (UTC)

According to the article Guillaume Marie Anne Brune: "Before the Revolution he went to Paris to study law, and here he became a political journalist, a Jacobin and a friend of Danton. He was appointed in 1793 to a superior command in the army direct from civil life." He played a major role in 13 Vendémiaire and that event is not connected with revolutionary wars. Desaix about Brune: "A été employé à Bordeaux et à Marseille du temps de la terreur." He was a montagnarde republican first, then a soldier.--Vasile 04:04, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi! You imposed the name of the article so I suppose you know a lot about those events. Why do you think it is more appropiate to use the word "award" rather than "arbitration"? Thanks for taking your time to answer me.--Vasile 00:20, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Vienna Award is the only correct title in English (have a look in Google for example). It is also used in the Encyclopaedia Britannica and all official texts (like the above mentionned LEGAL text of US government). Previously, I also thought that the correct name was Vienna Arbitration (and I also introduced the term into many Wikipedia articles), but that's not the case. And in other languages that are able to make the distinction, the name also refers to the resulting decision (i.e. the award) and not to the process (e.g. in German Wiener Schiedsspruch vs. Wiener Arbitrage). It's because Hungary gained the territories in virtue of the decision and not in virtue of the decision process. Thus, Vienna Awards (as the result of Vienna arbitrations) is correct as well. Juro 02:05, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

US and Britain were ignored in the decision process; that doesn't mean there has been no such process.

The resulting decision was presented being "arbitration award" by the "arbitrors" Germany & Italy. The territory was gained due the "arbitration" decision. The award is a part of the arbitration, as the verdict is part of the trial. I agree you introduced the term into Wikipedia articles. Please let your term "Vienna Arbitrations" be the name of the article and be used in other articles. --Vasile 03:22, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Maybe I did not explain my point clearly enough. This is a pure language problem, nothing else, and I have been looking for months to find the correct English name instead of the provisional Vienna Arbitration. I did not expect that now that I have found the version generally used in English history and legal texts (see e.g. Enc. Britannica), there would be problems about it. All the reasons I have given above for the use of award are only reasons why I think Award is used, but actually that is not relevant, because award is simply the only correct English usage. The term Vienne Arbitration is used by wrongly translated Slovak, Romanian etc. texts only. And the fact that England did not participate is also irrelevant for the language, because - to take an extreme example- there are also certain English language words for many things from the Roman Empire (wars, treaties), although of course England did not participate.

minor edits

Well, yeah, you're not supposed to change 93% to 95% (or whatever numbers were there...), remove link to the ethnic group, and a whole paragraph that's stood there untouched and verified for years, and mark the edit as minor, providing a partial (and unfounded) explanation. Those changes could individually qualify as minor edits but altogether they are quite notable. --Shallot 17:37, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Edits in History of Hungary

Vasile, you don't have to make every single change in the article a separate line in the history page - four or so are enough. Since old history is not accessible endlessly, this can become a problem after some time. So please copy the relevant parts of the article into your own text editor, change it, and only then insert the result into the article. Juro 17:24, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No, I don't have anything to communicate to you other than what I've written in the log visible from the page history.

Vasile,

I see that you deleted a refence to the rule of the Moldavian region by Halych Volynia around 1300. I understand that it was during this time that The city of Galati was founded, named after Halych (Galicia). If this is incorrect, or you have other history to offer for this time period, please let me know.

Vadim Tudor

Please see my question at Talk:Corneliu Vadim Tudor. - Jmabel 17:08, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)

population in Romania in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact article

What do you think of the following wording?

The annexed Romanian territories were inhabitated mostly by Romanians, with a significant Jewish minority also present. However, the inhabitants of Bessarabia were treated by the Soviet Union as romanised Ukrainians while the German authorities perceived a large part of them(? - or Romanians in general?) as ethnic Germans.

I'm sorry to say, but your chosen wording doesn't travel well from one ESL-user to another.

Regards! --Johan Magnus 20:47, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Transylvania Article

Vasile, I see that you removed the whole Late Middle Ages history (maybe this was by accident) as well as references in the Ancient Times section. Well, the history of Transylvania is not just about Hungarians and Romanians - various other peoples also have a place in its history. I'm trying to flesh out this article as there is a lot more to the history of Transylvania than it currently contains. Of course, its difficult to avoid (largely-biased) Hungarian and Romanian sources when writing something like this, so I don't pretend that everything I write will be accurate. Frankly, both sides use controversial arguments to support their own nationalistic aims (which is quite clear to outside observers). But that in itself is part of the history of the region. I myself am from a region of the world which has seen various peoples inhabit its lands (northern England), but that's part of the richness of my heritage. So, if you believe that anything I write needs changing, then do so but please do me the courtesy of explaining why (and giving sources for your changes).

Thanks,

Scott

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

Tudor, again

Why the removal of the image at Corneliu Vadim Tudor? -- Jmabel | Talk 00:21, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

I think that in many ways that poster sums up Tudor's appeal: the (belated) embrace of the EU, the willful ambiguity between România Mare and Partidul România Mare, populism stripped to its materialistic essentials... There would be nothing wrong with attaching a similar poster for any politician, Romanian or otherwise. We lack a simple portrait for Tudor, which would also be appropriate. Usually we don't remove even modearately appropriate images unless we can substitute a better one. And, believe me, I have no desire to promote Tudor, I think he's pond scum. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:12, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

I think a simple image would be better, too. Do you have one? If not, I'm inclined to restore what we've got, because I think it is better than nothing. Probably this image ultimately belongs more appropriately on the page about the Great Romania Party. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:54, Dec 23, 2004 (UTC)

History of Canada

Hi Vasile. I was wondering why you changed "granted viritual independence" to "granted a Constitution". I had chosen the previous wording with care as most people outside Canada think Canada had little independence after 1867. In fact one of the motivating factors for the British was to reduce their military expenditures in Canada and they withdrew their armed forces as soon as they could in 1871 (only the Red River Rebellion of 1870 prevented an earlier withdrawal). That really left only foreign affairs which was not resolved until the early 1920s. Of course the BNA Act was a Constitution but it was written by Canadians, not UK parliamentarians who took almost no interest in the bill, and certainly did not draft it. To say the UK parliament granted Canada a constitution implies that it was gracious of them to do so, when in fact they merely complied with Canadian wishes, and were anxious to avoid any further expense in Canada. I wish you would restore the earlier wording. Persons who want to know more about the constitution need only consult the more detailed articles listed at the bottom of the page or via links. The agreement has been to keep this page to a bare minimum.--BrentS 02:50, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Vasile - you simply do not understand Canadian history. There was no political subordination to Britain after 1867 except in foreign affairs, and the Governor General was the medium for communicating with the Foreign & Colonial offices. Give me an example of political subordination or interference from the British apart from foreign affairs. You are meddling with articles where you have no expertise.--BrentS 17:13, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Vasile. Thanks for the references to the Colonial Laws Validity Act (you should write an article on it). I still hold to the distinction between the legal regime and the political realities. I vaguely recollect that the Macdonald government had a tariff policy the British were not too thrilled with, but Macdonald held firm even though it must have been "repugnant" to British policy, if not law. I notice on one website that Sir Edward Grey in 1907 advised the Canadian government that it was free to negotiate a treaty with the United States without passing through London. I suppose our differences are really of emphasis - you like "subordination", I prefer "virtual independence" or "growing independence" even though you dislike the word "virtual". Perhaps others will weigh in the "independence" issue eventually. --BrentS 23:08, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule

Hi! I noticed that you have removed the POV tag on the Transnistria article five times within the last 24 hours. The WP:3RR states that you should not revert an article more than three times in any 24 hour period. Looking through the talk page for this article I can find no indication that the dispute has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, so a {{POV}} (or may be {{disputed}}) tag should remain on the article page. JeremyA 4 July 2005 19:44 (UTC)

Tiraspol

I think you're assuming that a place being de facto independent is a judgement over its final status, or whether it should or will be independent. The Transnistrian "government" in Tiraspol currently has sovereignty over its territory - it decides what goes on, as opposed to the government in Chisinau. There is a generally functioning seperate government that governs over the territory they lay claim to. That's just the way it is. Saying it is de facto independent doesn't mean it necessarily should be independent, or that it will be - it's just describing the situation as it currently stands. Ambi 11:40, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see your point - I misunderstood what you were arguing. I still don't think it's acceptable to remove the phrase altogether, as it makes the status of Transnistria too unclear. The ECHR is a convincing source as to Russian dominance of Transnistria, and I see that how affects the de facto independent claim. My main point is making its current seperation from the Chisinau government clear - if you can come up with an alternate phrasing that takes care of the Russia issue concisely (as it's an article about Tiraspol, not Transnistria) and neutrally, I'll likely not object, as I'm not in a position to dispute that argument (and indeed, on the basis of what I've read, likely agree with it).

Odessa massacre

My edits reflect the definition and casualty counts of the Odessa from the US Holocaust Museum, which states "Romanian and German forces killed almost 100,000 Jews in Odessa during the occupation of the city. Several thousand Jews survived in hiding with the aid of local Russian and Ukrainian rescuers." The Museum includes Jews from the Odessa area who were killed in the Romanian camps as part of the Odessa massacre, in addition to those killed in Odessa itself. The problem is that there is no formal definition of the Odessa massacre, so the article explains the range of killings in 41 and 42, taking the timeline from the USHMM. --Goodoldpolonius2 19:57, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vasile. It is me again. I realize that my revert took you aback and you still wonder why the heck I did that. Sorry, I was too rushed. Let me try to explain.

That article has a very very long history of revert wars, abuses, calling names, and whatever bad behavior you can think of. And romanians contributing there are guitly of that too.

Now, I believe you did not recently contribute to that article or gone to its talk page. The protection on that article was just lifted, and when I saw you editing away at it without seeing you on the talk page and making big changes, I thought this will start a big edit war. And that's the last thing we need.

That is, it is good that any big changes (adding removing language history, changing facts, etc) be not done without discussion. Some people are spending a lot of their energy arguing things over there, and will be really upset if somebody else edits the article without being asked first. The article is not in a really bad shape right now (that is, nobody on each side likes it, which is a good thing :) So let us try to move slowly. More discussion on the talk page is welcome, as now people again started talking badly about Russians instead of focusing at the facts at hand. Thannks.

Vasile, you have been editing Moldovan language, but the article incorporates some recent edits of Node_ue, which will probably be reverted. The rule on the that article, due to its status of being highly disputed, is to discuss all edits on the talk page before operating them in the article.

You're right, many people, including Romanians, have been abusing that talk page. But this doesn't mean we should not use it for constructive discussions on the article.

In your edits you removed the paragraph below. Did you have a reason? If so, that reason has to be stated on the talk page. If it was by mistake, please fix it.

Twenty-two years later, in 1940, the Soviet Union annexed Bessarabia. A year later, in 1941, Romania invaded the Soviet Union as part of Operation Barbarossa and retook Bessarabia (along with a large portion of Ukraine). These territories were taken back by the Soviet Union 3 years later in 1944, and remained under Soviet administration until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

transnistria/gagauzia

I only today accidentally discovered this "double" article. If you look into its history, you will see that it was edited by a small number of accidental people. I added links to it into several artricles, so that people who know things may do something with it. E.g. merge useful things somewhere else and delete the article altogether. On the other hand, History of Moldova has a section "Secession of Gagauzia and Transnistria", so it may make sense to have this article as "main" for this section. mikka (t) 00:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- faptul că mai multe organizaţii antiseparatiste au lansat un apel la boicotare, considerînd referendumul "farsă"

- faptul că din 46 de ţări membre ale Consiliului Europei, 45 sînt împotriva recunoaşterii referendumului, numai RUsia are altă părere

- faptul că datele Comisiei Electorale Centrale din Tiraspol au fost schimbate în mod ciudat, anume numărul total de alegători s-a micşorat cu 7% faţă de 2005, ceea ce ridică suspiciuni asupra unei încercări de creştere artificială a prezenţei la vot prin raportarea unui număr mai mic de alegători înregistraţi.

Totdeauna am dat lincurile care dovedesc cele scrise de mine, n-am născocit nimic din burtă.

Userul Willian Mauco, care pare fan Tiraspol, mereu mi-a şters adăugirile. (vezi istoria paginii)

Puteţi vedea la pagina de discuţii Transnistria ce argumente a adus. Anume: ăia care cer boicotarea referendumului din Transnistria sînt foşti KGB-işti, că aşa zice o organizaţie rusească de analiză (a dat un linc pentru asta). Întîi a spus că respectivii nici nu sînt din Transnistria, ci doar din Basarabia, dar i-am dovedit că unii dintre semnatarii apelului la boicot sînt transnistreni. Am fost împăciuitor, i-am zis că n-are decît să adauge părerea organizaţiei ruseşti că antiseparatiştii sînt foşti KGBişti, că n-are decît să-i considere pe cei care vor boicotarea referendumului drept băieţi răi, dar faptul în sine, că s-a cerut boicotarea referendumului, trebuie menţionat. Degeaba, mereu mi s-au şters adăugirile - pentru celelalte 2 fapte nici n-a adus argumente.

A mai fost o adăugire care a şters-o, despre arestarea a 4 persoane din Transnistria care sînt împotriva separatismului (între timp li s-a dat drumul). În cazul ăsta am renunţat eu să mai insist pentru includerea informaţiei în articol (deşi informaţia e incontestabilă), tocmai fiindcă n-am vrut să mă cert prea mult.

În perioada asta cînd agenţiile de ştiri vor menţiona referendumul de la Tiraspol, se va citi articolul Transnistria în Wikipedia poate mai mult decît într-un an întreg. De aia acum e nevoie să existe în articol informaţii despre contestarea corectitudinii referendumului. Nu cer să se menţioneze ca adevăr absolut faptul că referendumul e incorect, ci doar că există unii (OSCE, 45 din 46 ţări ale Consiliului Europei, unele organizaţii din zonă şi din Basarabia) care consideră asta. Vă cer de aceea sprijinul ca să interveniţi pe pagina de discuţii Transnistria pentru a susţine rămînerea informaţiei în pagină şi să repuneţi informaţia atunci cînd Mauco o şterge (eu nu pot să verific chiar 24 de ore din 24). Evitaţi atacurile suburbane, păstraţi ton civilizat. mulţumesc.

Who is William Mauco Here is an article about a Wikipedia celebrity, William Mauco, and his relations with the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty (ICDISS), an organisation "which seems to be a front organisation for a Kremlin-backed rogue statelet called Transdniestria" (quote from the article) http://0.bypass-filter.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2Vkd2FyZGx1Y2FzLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8yMDA2LzA4L2dvdGNoYS0yLmh0bWw%3D

Edward Lucas wrote about Mauco: "The other lead is William Mauco. He has an extensive record of posting intelligent and fairly neutral entries on Wikipedia, not only about TD but about other unrecognised statelets. Crucially, these predate ICDISS's birthday of January 2006. And he also claims to have been at their conference in Mexico City in April of this year. I have written to him asking to get in touch, and had a friendly email in reply. I am planning to follow up this research in an article in European Voice at the end of August, so watch this space!"--MariusM 08:33, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Împreună cu EvilAlex (un tip din Tighina - Transnistria) am creat un articol despre propaganda separatistă a Tiraspolului Heaven of Transnistria. I s-a cerut ştergerea. Te rog ajută-ne să păstrăm articolul, votînd contra ştergerii[3]. Destul s-a şters din articolul principal Transnistria, Wikipedia e plină de propagandă a Tiraspolului, să avem măcar un articol care explică această propagandă--MariusM 18:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Is it possible to find some more sources of information on this topic Marielle Houle? It is tagged with a notability tag, and there are currently 31 articles in the scope of wikiproject Canada which are tagged with notability concerns, so I am contacting anyone to see if the quantity of notability concern articles can be reduced, and quality increased. For more help see this note or the article talk page for a current discussion. Kind Regards SriMesh | talk 19:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Nimic.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Nimic.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
