Hi. I saw you had problems with the links that contain "ă" because you put a different character instead: a with hacek instead of a with breve.
ǎă
A with breve, the one in Romanian is a bit to the right in the toolbar: "Ŵ ŵ Ŷ ŷ Ă ă Ğ ğ Ŭ ŭ"

Hi, I've seen you have started correcting errors in the list of Moldovian rulers. Keep up the good work. I intend to enlarge the list, to contain at least some summary information about everyone in that list. Some help will be appreciated. -Orioane 09:52, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
Tnx for help on this article. What country are you from? I wrote this article using Polish sources, but I am sure it can greatly benefit from input from the sources you have access to. With some expantion, more references and less red links it can become a Wikipedia:Featured Article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 16:14, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Regarding the George Ioan Bratianu (I know the proper spelling is Brătianu, but Amazon doesn't) book, you may want to add it to the reference section of the articles you used the info from it in (consider using Wikipedia:Footnotes to references specific paragraphs), and to the 'further reading' section to other articles you think it is relevant. Unfortunately I don't speak romanian (I assume that's the language he is using) and can't read his books myself (Amazon link I cite above indicates he has not been translated). In other words, it's up to you and to other editors speaking the relevant language to translate the relevant info into English and share with rest of the world (I have been doing much of this with Polish sources). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:24, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

I fixed the category - it was strange, but pasting over a working category helped. My guess it was some kind of strange symbol which looked similar, but wasn't the same. First time I have seen this. There are indeed some Polish sources on the Koriatowicz family. They don't mention much, however - this is all I found:
Both Fedor and Konstanty are mentioned in Polski Słownik Biograficzny, see User:Piotrus/List_of_Poles/Kisielinski-Korzelinski. I am afraid this is all that I can find online - since I am not in Poland, I don't have access to PSB. Koriatowicz family existed in the 19th century as well [7] See also Gediminids, the only Wikipedia page at present to mention 'Koriatowicz'.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:37, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Sounds familiar?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:16, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Dahn, I'm afraid that my scarce knowledge of Romanian prosopography is insufficient to be of help to you. As best I know, Koriat ruled Podolia in 1362-63, although I never claimed that he did. In my previous online reincarnation, I contributed much of this page and even compiled this family tree of the Bassaraba dynasty. IMHO the patronomic of "Koriatowicz" should be enough to prove Koriat's paternity. --Ghirlandajo 17:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, to make a redirect, just create a page with the following:
#redirect [[page you want to redirect to]]
So to make Cantemiresti redirect to Cantemireşti, I recreated the page as:

Salut,
A new user, User:Axi made some heavy modifications to the Vlad Ţepeş page. I o not agree with all his modifications, but I think you are the most appropriate person to have a look at it. I don't think it can be cathegorised as vandalism, but I do not quite agree with his POV.
Multzam fain. Aştept răspunsul tău. --Mihai -talk 20:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Salut,
Just that you know ,about the Mavrocordats, I've found this morning some existing articles. Mabye when you will have some time you could take a look at them. I've linked them to the list of Moldavian/Wallachian princes. There is a small list of them (Mavrocordato). --Mihai -talk 17:08, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
I added a rough translation of the Russian article - details of his Siberian-Chinese mission mostly - on the talk page for further processing. It seems like the rest of the data is accurate too. Returning to our previous discussion, I found that another Koriatovich, Iuga's brother, is mentioned in the article on Mukacheve. Cheers, Ghirlandajo 17:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
We are now standarising the names of Polish kings and the issue of Stephen Bathory, King of Poland has came up. Your input would be appreciated at Talk:List_of_Polish_monarchs#Naming.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi. Do you want to help me clean up the categories in there? I suggest we get as many as we can on categories in "Communists by nationality". In the end, I'd wish for the category to include only "Communists by nationality, "Communist rulers", "Marxist theorists", "Old Bolsheviks", and those articles which stand for communists which are the single entries for their respective countries (I think ther's but one for Jamaica - forgot his name). Contact me on my talk page, if you wish so.Dahn 10:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm aiming for getting people from being in categories and subcategories at the same time. Of course, that doesn't mean they can't be in several subcategories in the same category. Thanks for helping, by the way.Dahn 16:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
I personally wouldm't have erased "Soviet politicians", but now that I think about it, it looks to be a very good idea (sindce Old Bolsheviks are in the "Soviet politicians" one). Excellent.Dahn 01:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
We shouldn't have Serbian - it ought to be Yugoslavian (just as you don't have Armenian, Russian, Ukrainian, Azeri etc., but Soviet). Being Comunist in that time meant that you were in favor of Yugoslavia, more than any internal division.Dahn 03:47, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Well, most in there are post-Soviet Communists. The others I added because I wanted to express a nuance in regard to Romania. People like Ecaterina Arbore declared themselves neither Romanian, nor Russian. It's cause it's very hard to detect what they were were in fact: Ecaterina Arbore, because she had other things on her mind (I guess); Serghei Lazo probably did not have the time. For an analogy of Soviet and something else, see Angelica Balabanoff. Anyway, we could have subcategories for the USSR and Yugoslavia, but not only would they be small, they'd be problematic (I've seen those who defined categories for them gave them Croatian WWII people or whatever but, aside from the fact that I canot agree with it, it does no service to someone who is trying to find out who was fighting whom in the Partizan war)Dahn 04:09, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
You are better at this than MacCarthy :).Dahn 05:04, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Actually, I guess I have been doing this around the clock. It's been a slow week, and I got caught up (I have insomnia, just as well). I don't think it matters that they are not all politicians - it's tidy and logical, at least more so than what they did in "China". I cannot possibly imagine what those guys were thinking; not only do you have people from 600 AD listed as "politicians" alongside Mao, but you also get this link: "Chinese politicians" includes "Party leaders", which includes "Chinese WWII people", which includes "Chinese Generals" (Chinese! like, from all history) and "Leaders of Taiwan". I started foaming at the mouth when I had to figure out how I get one without dragging all of China into Communism. That's it, though - I have to go. Nice to have met you, keep in touch.Dahn 13:46, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm wondering why you removed Trotsky from the categories "Communists" and "Russian Revolution people"? I see you've been taking people out of the category Communists and putting them in national Categories. Why can't they be in both?
As for "Russian Revolution people", I can't imagine why Trotsky shouldn't be in this category. Even J.V.Stalin would include Trotsky in this category.
I've added Trotsky back in, and left a note on the Talk page. If you want to respond, it'd probably be best if you left your response there.

Generally great work at Armenians in Romania. Do you have something to add to the "References" section, which currently cites only Iorga? -- Jmabel | Talk 04:56, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Similarly on the Greeks. News to me that Ion Luca Caragiale had Greek heritage. What's the story on that one? - Jmabel | Talk 08:58, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi there. I've been going through Special:Uncategorizedcategories, and I noticed you recently removed the category Hungarian communists from all of its parent categories, leaving it an orphan. In the future, can you please nominate unneded categories for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion or request that they be speedy deleted using the ((db)) template, whichever is appropriate?

Hi, just saw ur msg. on my talkpage. It is a good idea to have subcats such as these. Great work, keep it up. I'll keep my eyes open for adding to the category. btw, you may want to rope in User:Soman, who has done a lot of work on communism-related articles, just have a look at his user page and you'll know what I mean. --Gurubrahma 05:11, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
It may not be up your alley, but very few people have came through RfC I posted about History of the World, and there is a slow but pointless revert war there (see Talk:History_of_the_World#Graph_straw_poll), so I am now down to asking fellow Wikipedians to take a look if you have time and will.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 17:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for your great categorising! When you add entries into categories, please consider marking them as minor changes. It will help me to focus time onto the pages on my watchlist that seem to need to most corrections. --DuncanBCS 00:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Dahn, in your article on Ploutis Servas, you mention one of his works, "Portraits in Palmer's Era". I would be very much interested if you could inform me as to the availability of this book/essay. Do you know of any libraries holding a copy of it? Thank you.
Much nice work, but also some issues. Please see my questions at Talk:Nicolae_Ceauşescu#A_rough_sketch_of_.22Ceau.C5.9Fism.22:_Misc_issues.2Fquestions. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:55, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
First of all, I don't like your tone and I don't consider it polite either. Beside that, there is no need to threaten me with a report. If you feel the need to report me, be my guest. But please, don't disturb me anymore, especially if you are not capable to communicate in a decent manner. I simply don't consider Gyr a fascist. Under his supervision the Jewish Theater was build and I don't think that a fascist, a Nazi like you said (because there's no difference, isn't it?), would act like that. Even more, Gyr is not remembered as a fascist, but as a poet... a jailed and sad poet...--R.S.ro 23:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
(I also should mention that Vadim has backed people who armed themselves, namely Ilascu. I will not judge Ilascu's reasons as unfounded, but you get the idea.)Dahn 18:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
Do you have knowledge of any (trusted or not) written document containg details about Ilascu trial in Tiraspol? --Vasile 00:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Please observe this and this.--R.S.ro 00:18, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Whatever do you mean? Hitler and Mussolini imposed something on Romania. Romania, AN ALLY of the UK up to that moment, lost its territory through dirty arbitration. The gesture was condemned by the Peace of Paris, which means you are denying the very purpose of the international treaty (unless they all don't matter to you ever since Trianon); the Treaty of Paris also makes the Romanian nationalists' requests in Bessarabia unteneble (so you can see, I am not an ardent and biased nationalist). You cannot possibly be right about this one. I have to say Northern Transylvania was occupied by Hungary. Under the definition of international law, and under logic. Now, let me think about it. You might be right, and then Sudetenland was not occupied by Germany, nor was Bohemia-Moravia, hell, nor was Austria or Alsatia. Please, for the love of it, do not consider that this is a biased speech. I am known on Wiki for my balanced views, and I've consistently upheld criticism of any nationalism. The word "occupiers", if indeed offensive, is less so than a "reevaluation" of Nazi international politics. Even for a POV, it's sinister. Plus, you are implying that all Hungarians should agree with Horthy and/or Szalasi. More sinister still. Dahn 15:16, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I have feeling that the article should stay more on topic and not divert so much into Romanian's history. Pavel Vozenilek 01:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry, I did not know where to post this. There is a guy that seems to want to be banned (I reverted his edit on the Corneliu Vadim Tudor page and noticed that he had made another such edit out of the three he's ever made. The third one, however (the one for a computer game) is probably not POV. In case I got it wrong, to whom should I address such issues? Dahn 13:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, Dahn! This is just to let you know that I've reverted the article to your last version. I've seen the talk page, but I know the anonymous editor in question, it gives us a hard time on Romanian wiki, too! Maybe you can come & give a little hand on cleaning the Romanian version of the Oltenia article? Thanks! --Vlad 12:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Salut,
I've seen that you've added the info about the controversial statue in Sibiu, on the bust photo I've added. The thing is that that statue is a different one from that in the photo which is one in a small park in front of the ASTRA Palace - Here. The controversial statue was one with Lazar sitting on a chair and was on the right side of this photo, and is now dismanteled as you can see here. I agree that this bust is also not a very happy one, but I couldn't get into the Lazar College to take a photo of the best one :D. Thx Mihai -talk 11:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I added the name in Armenian per your request. Fortunately the name doesn't contain any letters that would be used differently in Eastern and Western Armenian. What may be an issue though is the English trasliteration, since Manouchian is the French transliteration, which would be Manushyan in English. However, an English-only Google search for "Missak Manouchian" gives 384 results, "Misak Manushyan" gives 5, and "Missak Manushyan" gives 2, so the French version should be fine. --Aramգուտանգ 18:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Dahn, get a grip and a life. I didn't 'write' Turks in the article, it was already there. All I did was highlight it. I KNOW the difference between the 'Ottomans' and the 'Turks'. You wanna communicate further, we will.

Question: was the missing (or superfluous) Central Europe here somehow resolved? I've spotted the problem now but do not want to touch anything what is in the middle of progress. Pavel Vozenilek 09:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
You're against Protochronism and nationalistic or pseudo-scientific history: so am I. There is a current situation in the Origin of Romanians article which you may want to get involved in. Alexander 007 06:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Categories should be the most defining for a topic, not cover everything.
Anyway: you may took look on Talk:Curzio Malaparte, there were discussions about historical reliability (or unreliability) of Malaparte with User:Oesterling. He was /very/ active on few topics and put his opinion that Malaparte's book depict the reality into them. If you have time and interest you may take look as a third person (and no, this is not luring you into an edit war, it is not very important issue). Pavel Vozenilek 00:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Dahn, can you please check a comment I posted on the discussion site of the article relating to Andrés Nin? I saw in "history" that you have contributed several times to the article, and I would like some feedback from other wikipedians on what I propose on the "discussion" site. No one has commented anything yet.--Hvitlys 14:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
I think your suggestion Comintern people is very good. Bronks 23 feb 2006.
I appreciated our discussion today. Still, regardless of it, could you take a look at Hungarian minority in Romania and tell me if you believe my positions to be incorrect (of course, from your point of view). My version of the article is [9], and the version that prompted me to edit is [10]. There is a new editor (Dutch) that I fould more extremist than the Hungarians themselves. My edits concern the history section, and what really made me edit was the World War II section. I would appreciate an oppinion. Dpotop 00:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment on my user page. I suppose you did not read my sentences carefully enough. You forgot to comment about these sentences of mine, proposing collaboration between Hungarians and Romanians: "I think there must be other ways (other than banning) to protect neutrality in these articles, like building inter-ethnic groups (Romanian+Hungarian+Other independent). Maybe starting a notice board for non-extremists who are willing to work for the objectivity of Transylvania-related topics."
Any reactions? --KIDB 14:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello Dahn. Maybe I'm not understanding well your contribution on KIDB's talk page, but it seems to me that you consider myself an extremist, even if not one that holds "remotely extreme" positions. This seems weird to me, from three points of view:
Salut,
While I agree with the fact thet Areal is most probably of Hungarian origin, the modiffications I reverted were in contradiction with a wider article Historical names of Transylvania. About the Transylvania article my oppinion is to be very careful with the users who edit it and generaly I check twice before reverting an edit made by a registered user, but I have a more brutale way of approach in the case of unregistered users: once I see the smallest discrepancy I revert it, or else we will be losing track of the edits made there. Mihai -talk 20:47, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I see you've been editing the Stavisky Affair article lately. I was the person responsible for using Janet Flanner to enlarge it, and now I feel rather guilty - Ms Flanner is a great journalist, but not perhaps a great historian. I have Alfred Cobban on my shelf and might use him to set the record slightly straighter. Do you have any comment/reaction/ideas? PiCo 22:55, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. It seems you were caught in a vandalism-revert crossfire.
YOUR edits were fine, however they came in the middle of someone deleting the majority of later death listings.
I'll see what I can do to patch it up with your changes.
Thanks for cleaning up and englishifiing( :-)) ).
