The use of this article
[edit]This seems to be the only article of this type in the whole of Wikipedia. Starting from the title ("History of Romanian coins", when the only coin specifically Romanian is the Leu), and going through the content (ancient greek drachmas being called Romanian), this is nothing but WP:OR, and it only serves a certain not much appreciated line of thought which flourished in Ceausescu's Romania: Protochronism. Does anyone think this is salvageable... if yes, present your arguments below.Anonimu (talk) 02:48, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's a history of coinage that was used in the territory of today's Romania. Maybe the title is not the best, but I think it's a valid subject. Other similar articles are Coins of Ireland, Indian coinage and History of Canadian currency, which go to the eras before the modern states of Ireland, India and Canada.
- Why would it be Protochronism? Did you at least read the article beforehand? bogdan (talk) 03:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- The title surely gives that impression (especially the part saying "Romanian" as opposed to a more neutral "in Romania"). A name change and some inline references are needed to bring it to standards.Anonimu (talk) 03:25, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
