Hey Bogdan:

Would you like to help me with the Thracian language article? I'm about to expand it. I need help weeding out non-cognates that random editors placed over the past few years, also help tracking down more attestations of the Thracian lexical items. 76.208.169.188 (talk) 18:51, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

The article lack any references for the list of words. That table ought to have for each word the source of the word (what ancient author or a reference to the epigraphic source) and a reference for each proposed PIE etymology. I'll try to do some cleanup. bogdan (talk) 19:07, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
Ok, please be careful with your adjustments, there is a section there for ==Attestations==. A number of the alleged cognates are wrong, added by random probably Slavic-speaking users (however most of the Slavic cognates look to be correct). Also someone seems to have removed a Romanian cognate that you had placed a year or two ago. 76.208.169.188 (talk) 19:12, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
If I don't get to soon expanding that section where Thraco-Phrygian is discussed, here is some info about why "Thraco-Phrygian" is no longer a major theory, see that Paleolexicon website given as an external link in Thracian language: three major points 1) Phrygian was mostly Centum, very marginally satemized; 2) Phrygian was very close to Greek, Thracian doesn't seem to have been so close to Greek, aside from maybe some southern Thracian language groups. 3) Phrygian anthroponyms etc. do not support Thraco-Phrygian. This is not to say that a study of Phrygian would not turn up many close cognates with Thracian, but that's not enough to support Thraco-Phrygian. 76.208.169.188 (talk) 05:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
By the way, when Bogdan says, "That table ought to have for each word the source of the word (what ancient author or a reference to the epigraphic source) and a reference for each proposed PIE etymology"---Yes I agree with Bogdan there and that's how I want the article to be, and I contacted Bogdan to help me get the article like that. When I was adding the PIE roots, I noted "after Pokorny", "after Olteanu", etc., and even there more specific references were needed, however I wanted to fill in the table, and if I were to have waited till I had all the references, the table would have been bare for years. With that said, all of the PIE etymologies currently shown are from the Thracological literature, but from who and from what publication exactly, I don't have that info now. 76.208.166.185 (talk) 06:42, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 100 greatest Romanians

The article 100 greatest Romanians has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable, possibly copyvio. cf. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/200 Greatest Israelis. List articles that simply reproduce lists published elsewhere are non-notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:50, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

To the be the best

I wa wondering (or, after a while, me and Biruitorul were wondering) if you would be interested in helping us accomplish something that, for me in any case, is uncharacteristically patriotic: an all-Romanian, all-WWI, Did You Know queue on December 1. We've got two articles set aside already, I for one have got some more in the making, and the more the better: maybe we end up with two queues... but I'm getting ahead of myself here. Anyway, it would be great to have you in as the third contributor, provided you want, have the time to, and are inspired by the topic. I guess this is sort of an open invitation, "should you want to accept it". Dahn (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I like the idea, so count me in. I'm thinking of writing an article about Romania during the Central Powers occupation and maybe I can find some other topic. :) bogdan (talk) 19:43, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
I was thinking of that as well, but my concern is that it would be redundant to the existing Romania in World War I. I mean, between that and the treaties (two in Bucharest, one in Brest, one in Paris...), the events (battle upon battle, union of... with..., war of... with...), the concepts (Greater Romania, Old Kingdom, National Council of..., Directory Council of..., Rumcherod), we'd be having a plethora of articles on the same short time span: 1917-1919. I don't want to suggest that we couldn't do it in the way you suggest, but maybe it is more manageable if we center it on (and this is sizzling stuff) the Romanian administration of occupied Romania. Administration of occupied Romania (1917–1918), Government of occupied Romania (1917–1918) or similar would be, I believe, more focused, and could in any case be saying a lot about what the occupiers themselves were doing; plus it's a place to link all the parallel references to "Minister of..." in articles such as Alexandru Tzigara-Samurcaş. It could also tackle the fact that toward the end even legitimate Romania recognized the administration - it had to, I guess, but it's just one of those gems... In my view, it could fill the big hole at the middle of Romania in World War I without creating the redundant overlap.
But whatever you chose of the two is fine, and I'll be there to consolidate. As per our good old tradition :). Dahn (talk) 01:11, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Where would cultural aspects fit in? This is an essay focusing on Romanian culture during the war, both before 1916, during the occupation and under the Iasi government. Unfortunately, we can't see all of it, and I'm not sure where else we could find material on the subject (the author says it's largely neglected), but there's a Polish culture during World War II, so maybe. - Biruitorul Talk 14:22, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
Oh, believe me, there are sources, to count just my usual suspects (Cernat, Călinescu, Boia, Vianu Sr., Vianu Jr., Crohmălniceanu, Gârbea, Cioculescu, Cioroianu, Tismăneanu, Veiga, Pârvulescu, Stanomir, Ornea, Babeţi & Ungureanu, Neumann all tackle the subject in various ways); I also have worthy prefaces to Rebreanu, Fundoianu, Vinea, Topîrceanu, Cezar Petrescu, and Ilincioiu's study to Doctrina ţărănistă. That's the literary, social and philosophical side mainly. But then we have the visual arts stuff, where I can mainly rely on Grigorescu, but I also have some monographs on some of the main names to remember (Verona, Tonitza) and we can easily get more on some of the others who add to the chorus (say, Paciurea or this guy). Nothing I have can replace Maria Bucur as the source on popular culture, alas - except perhaps a pinch of Boia here and there, and, provided we can leaf through and get the relevant bit, something in the precious Neubauer-Cornis series.
The issue with synthetic articles is not about writing them, it's about finishing them and then spraying the links around in all relevant articles. It's of the Symbolist movement category, if we do it right; if not... I mean, Polish culture during World War II has improved a lot (the article, I mean, not the subject!), but it still looks like trivia has been thrown in there. Dahn (talk) 21:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
At which point I realize I haven't replied to your most stringent question: whether or not we end up creating a separate article, I find that the basic overview on culture belongs most likely at the end of Romania in World War I - which is now so militarily-focused that it is illegible.
A note of my own, for when/if we get a look into this: we are likely to find ourselves ignoring this aspect, but note how the period has had an indirect impact on Romanian cinema, from Ciulei (may God rest our Orson Welles) to this (the lady' right - it's quite good) and, obviously, this (the epilogue, I mean). Dahn (talk) 22:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Btw, Bogdan, can you help me with this? I seem to have botched up the vectorizing (again!), and there's plenty of gaps in my understanding of how it works: for instance, why the font I chose, which was closer to the model, never made it on the commons copy. If you want to redo it from scratch and upload over it, I wouldn't mind the least; in fact, you'd be helping me hide my shame :). Dahn (talk) 10:02, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Paleo-Balkan Languages

Hi!

I stumbled upon the article on paleo-balkan languages which you started a long time ago. While your intention seems to have been good, it has somehow gone out of hand by now. I started a discussion and wanted you to know if you like to have a word in the discussion.Amilah (talk) 20:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

The term is used by linguistics not as a subgroup of the IE languages, but rather as a geographical grouping of the languages, which, with the exception of Greek, we know very little other than the fact they were IE. The article doesn't say anywhere that they were in fact a family. There are some sources about the topic, so it's possible to add more references. bogdan (talk) 21:20, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview

Dear Bogdaniusca,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk)23:27, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Sasa Pana by Victor Brauner.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sasa Pana by Victor Brauner.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

He didn't like me telling him that he's a phony, and that he shouldn't imply that other people have low IQs? He didn't like the fact that others told him off when he went compaigning? Ok, got it.

Dobruja/Wallachia

I've always surmised that at its most basic level, there are three divisions in Romania: Moldavia (including Bukovina), Transylvania (including the Banat, Crisana and Maramures) and Wallachia (including Oltenia and Dobruja). The Church, at any rate, lumps in the latter with Wallachia in the Bucharest Metropolis.

Even if Dobruja is entirely separate from Wallachia, that leaves the question of what to do with Cocoş Monastery (and any other monasteries we may write about in the area), since I would like to put them all in subcategories. One option is to create a new Category:Romanian Orthodox monasteries in Dobruja. The other is to define the Wallachia category as including Dobruja, even if it's not technically in Wallachia. Which would you prefer? - Biruitorul Talk 17:35, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't think I've ever heard of Dobruja being included in Wallachia, so I think it's best to make a separate category. bogdan (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

troll

Hi, I noticed you blocked a troll. Please check out a similar Cei Trei (talk · contribs) . Staszek Lem (talk) 02:21, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Someone should research into the time it takes to create a new account and compare it to the time it takes to block an account. If it takes less time to create an account than it takes to block one, then the admin who invests his time in blocking the account is investing more energy than the troll, or the instigator, in creating the account. I'm not a mathematician, but I would assume that in order to find out the coefficiency, one would first start by counting the steps it takes to complete the task in question and time it. The formula could look something like this:

c x t = R; where c stads for calories, t stads for time, and r stands for resources. Say, for instance, that it takes me (an instigator and a sock puppet) 3 seconds to create an account. In addition to this, it also takes me 1 calorie to perform the task while I'm sitting down. That would result in a value of 3 (3 x 1 = 3). If we consider that the admin has more tasks to perform, since his operation is more complex, than we can heuristically conclude that the admin is investing more resources. Truth to be told, other values should be taken in the composition. For instance, on a neurological level, the admin can draw more pleasure in exercising his powers (dopamine is released, the amygdala is stimulated), than what the instigator experiences when he is blocked. Well, until he (read: me) returns. Then who knows what sick pleasures he draws for making his reappearance known. Oh, what a sick world we live in! Omg, trolls at every street corner! Damn it, it used to be better in the old days, when surfing the internet for an hour cost you 10 bucks! Back then, the troll would budget his internet time by first writing his instigative post on a word processor, then connect to the internet and quickly paste the text into the forum- or the newsgroup post. With the connection being slower and rather unreliable, one was careful how he wasted his data volume. But I wouldn't be knowing anything about that! I've only been doing this since, err ... 2001. So now I sit starring on my Mac, connected to 4G wireless, and instigate. "But, but," you think, "when we ban you, we also ban your IP." True enough, but as I told Dahn last year, that's pretty useless. Only if you could ban the motherboard would it mean anything (you can't due to regulations that prohibit it). As it is now, you ban this IP, I take my other laptop connected to a 3G; you ban that one, I take out my iPhone; you ban that one (I wonder if you can?), I steal someone's computer. Oh, or I just renew the IP. Lolz!

Anyhow, this isn't the reason why I came to Bogdan's talkpage. The reason I came to Bogdan's talkpage is to ask him for the etymology of "razesti" (Bogdan is some kind of linguist, or was going to be, but fucked up). That don't matter, though. So Bogdan, do you know? I checked Dexonline but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance, vere! :) --Cei Trei (talk) 18:52, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean "răzeși" (as in free middle-class peasants in Moldavia)? the etymology seems to be "részes", which means "partner", "shareholder". bogdan (talk) 19:00, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Great, I still can't spell and again I make a fool of myself. At least don't tell the guy with a heart of stone. Cheers! --Cei Trei (talk) 22:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Anthology of Modern Romanian Verse - Bilingual Edition (Daniel Ionita, Editura Minerva 2012)

Bogdan,

Multumesc pentru avertismentul de spam. Sunt nou pe wiki, dupa cum ti-ai dat probabil seama. Am adaugat detalii despre Antologia de Poezie Romana Moderna - Editie Bilingva (Daniel Ionita, Editura Minerva 2012) al carei autor sunt, publicata si lansata recent - detalii care au fost sterse. Trebuia intr-adevar sa citesc mai intai regulile. Apriciez oferta de ghidaj, indrumare.

In esenta, iti voi relata pe scurt situatia. Cand vei avea timp si dispozitie, voi aprecia raspunsul tau.

Ca scurta prezentare: Locuiesc de 32 de ani la antipozi (Noua Zeelanda initial, si de 22 de ani in Australia, Sydney). Predau la University of Technology Sydney (Organisational Improvement, Lean Six Sigma - in cadrul Executive Development Unit, Graduate School of Business). Acum... Editura Minerva mi-a publicat recent (Noiembrie 2012) 2, Bilingual Edition, (English/Romanian) lucrare scrisa in colaborare cu Prof.Univ. Daniel Reynaud, si Prof. Eva Foster. Cuprinde poezia romaneasca din 1850 pana in prezent, peste 55 de poeti, si peste 75 de poezii (sincer, nu le-am numarat...). Lucrarea este prefatata de criticul si istoricul literar Alex Stefanescu, si apreciata deja in unele articole ca fiind de referinta pentru reprezentarea poeziei romanesti in limba engleza - lingua franca pe plan mondial, vrem-nu-vrem... Articolele sunt incipiente, fiindca lucrarea de abia s-a publicat, dar semnificative, zic eu. Pot produce evidenta necesara, daca este nevoie.

Intrebarea mea: Care este cea mai acceptabila forma de a referentia lucrarea in wiki? Forma care sa nu incalce regulile de spam, bineinteles, dar in acelas timp sa nici nu ofenseze bunul simt?

Subiectiv vorbind (fiind autorul, iti dai seama cat de obiectiv pot fi...), cand si in ce conditii va putea lucrare sa merite pagina proprie de wiki? Cum se realizeaza acest lucru?

Lucrarea, zic eu, este semnificativa si reprezinta pentru prima data o prezentare coerenta a poeziei romanesti in limba engleza.

Orice sfaturi si indrumari sunt binevenite.

Cu stima Daniel Ionita Sydney, Australia

PS: Ca si idee despre anvergura lansarilor Lansarea volumului (de librarie, ca si in cadrul Targului de carte Gaudeamus) a strans, printre altii, pe: Ion Caramitru, Ilinca Tomoroveanu, criticul literar Alex Stefanescu, Nicu Alifantis, Andrei Paunescu, Marga Labis (sora poetului), numerosi poeti in viata(Daniel Banulescu, Lucian Vasilescu, Adrian Munteanu, Nora Iuga, etc etc. I-am invitat si pe ceilalti, dar cei mai multi nu au raspuns...). Pe 20 Decembrie va avea loc la Biblioteca Nationala in Bucuresti o a 3-a lansare, cu prezenta Redactorului Sef de la Minerva, Ana Munteanu, ca si a actritei si directorului artistic de la Teatrul National Ilinca Tomoroveanu, poeti etc. 21 Decembrie, lansare la Brasov, etc, etc.

Salut.
Dacă lucrarea conține doar câte o poezie sau două din fiecare poet, nu cred că e ok să fie inclusă în pagina fiecăruia, dar ar putea fi inclusă într-o secțiune de traduceri în engleză la Romanian literature.
Pentru a avea un articol propriu, trebuie ca acel articol să fie scris respectându-se Wikipedia:Verifiability și Wikipedia:Notability. Adică fiecare informație să fie din surse "third-party" și "reliable".
Pentru cărți, ca să fie "notable" trebuie să existe mai multe recenzii publicate despre acea carte (în România Literară, sau orice altă publicație de acest gen). bogdan (talk) 21:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Buna Bogdan,
In primul rand multumesc pentru indrumari si explicatii. Le voi urma. Iata acum cateva "dovezi", inclusiv receinzie in Romania Literara. Atazez link-ul mai jos din RomLit, apoi articolu (bilingv) in Confulente Romanesti (unde dupa articolul in Romaneste, exista si varianta in limba Engleza). Ca si unul doua alte articole (unul de la Agentia de Carte, etc).
Ma voi lasa bineinteles indrumat...

Do you still do svg images?

I you do, could you perhaps help me? I'm working on the long-awaited article about the original People's Party, and there's two I can think of that would really improve the article. For one, I only approximated the party symbol - on commons, we just don't have a yellow hexagram that would look right. The model could be something like this (I'm not suggesting we should add the portrait in the middle, but, hm, it would be a nice addition...). Also, a map of Greater Romania with Ialomiţa, Teleorman and Vlaşca highlighted would be really cool - it would show what regions the PP got most of its votes from. What say you? Dahn (talk) 14:20, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Yup, I still do. I'll try to do them. :) bogdan (talk) 18:46, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

translation

Hi, I was wondering if you might be willing to assist in a small translation job. Here is an illustration with Italian labels. Might you translate them into English? – JBarta (talk) 19:11, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

(Pushing my luck)

Kudos on the massive upload of dacoromanica stuff on commons, but please don't forget about the People's Party stuff I asked for. I'm almost done with the article, and it would be really cool if we could synchronize - it would make the article look really neat, and would give us the DYK image to boot. If you can't work on this the moment, it's still okay, I'm willing to wait - but I just want to make sure you did not forget about it. You're one of a handful of guys who can both work with vectors and can identify stuff written in Romanian, so you're essential for this pet project of mine. (It was either you or Andrei Nacu, but he seems not to be very active, and does not appear to be very interested in such modern stuff.)

Think of this as a gentle "bump" on a forum page... Dahn (talk) 14:22, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

About the table

I've removed the table in the Satu-Mare article because it was showing fake information from a website that does cite a source but when checking with the source (Varga E. Arpad) the content is actually totally different. I've replaced the table with correct data. I've explained everything here: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Satu_Mare#Wrong_demographics_.3F -Paul- (talk) 11:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

I've already explained it here. Please stop reverting. Please check my source (actually it's the same source as the one cited for the table) - I used the real, original source. The numbers are totally wrong in the table. I don't know how to place a comment if using the undo function so I can't explain that there.

Indeed. I checked out ro.wiki and found a different user there performed a similar set of moves about a month ago, starting with Petru I, and apparently based on some research in a 2001 book. (I don't know how widely accepted its findings might be.) Here, the response was some further edits and an angry message.

2013 Romanian protests against the Roșia Montană Project

Hi, I just want to ask you is that protest part of the Anti-austerity protests in Romania? I am asking you because you added 2013 Romanian protests against the Roșia Montană Project under "Austerity /Benefits in European Union" in the Template:Anti-government protests in the 21st century.

  • If it is not may be add it to the "Environmental" in the Template:Anti-government protests in the 21st century.
  • If that protest part of the Anti-austerity protests please add "Category:Anti-austerity measures protests in the European Union" the the article.

COI stuff

Hi, a couple of things for you. First, this is starting to exasperate me. We have one "Popescu ionica" (her?) constantly reverting to a whitewashed version of Hellvig's biography, one that, for starters, conveniently omits mention of his legal troubles. She (he?) has also stated an odd editing philosophy, one in which engagement with pseudonymous users is not to be considered. This one is quite different in tone from Eheditor; regardless, Hellvig's office (I assume both work for him) seems to be trying hard to present their boss in a positive light.

We now have an article on the other main issue of the season (Roșia Montană aside). It could use some work, but at least it's a start to a long overdue article. - Biruitorul Talk 14:14, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Ion Rațiu

How's your memory... at 22:19, 14 February 2006‎ you added the hatnote For the leader of the Transylvanian Memorandum, see Ioan Raţiu.. Now I have an enquiry at OTRS2014020210007254 where the poster says that last year (around October) the hatnote to Ioan Raţiu worked, but now it doesn't and is a red link. I can't see any previous pages with that name (or deleted ones, or similar names). He was questioning if pages with diacritics still worked correctly.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

I don't think that the article Ioan Rațiu ever existed: there is nothing in archive.org, nothing in any wikipedia mirrors. There is an article in the Romanian Wikipedia. bogdan (talk) 22:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Râmnicu Vâlcea

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Râmnicu Vâlcea, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Lenin statue pulled down.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Lenin statue pulled down.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter A. Eckstein

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Peter A. Eckstein, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. –Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:06, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Bogdangiusca. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Bogdangiusca.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Can you help verify translations of articles from Romanian

Hello,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Romanian to English Wikipedia?

File:Language icon.svg

This would involve evaluating a translated article on English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Romanian article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Romanian , using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Romanian. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Romanian article, and mark it "Pass" or "Fail" (templates {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} may be useful). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then marking it "Pass", that's even better, but it isn't required.)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 09:56, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve The Royal Palace (Bucharest)

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Bogdangiusca, thanks for creating The Royal Palace (Bucharest)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. That page only represents the POV of the royal family, and serves as a WP:COATRACK which is completely unacceptable. Please add refernces about the subject, the palace, (not the family), that provide substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of PC World (Store)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on PC World (Store) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at [[Wikipedia:]].

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
