Talk:Greater Romania

"Romania Intregita"
The article now says, 'The politically correct Romanian term "Romania Intregita" has its closest meaning in English as "Whole Romania".'


 * 1) Shouldn't this be "România Intregita"?
 * România Întregit&#257; indeed.. it's a plague, romanians are using Western European Encoding Keyboard instead of switching to Central European keyboard, i'm plagued by this too -- Criztu 19:41, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) A few questions: how common is this usage? I get less than 200 Google hits.
 * Romania Mare (greater romania) was hijacked by a political nationalistic party. (Criztu, unsigned)
 * Yes, I added had already added a statement to that effect to the article, but that doesn't answer how common is România Întregit&#259;. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:41, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) As a native English speaker, "Whole Romania" is certainly something I would never think to say. What is the basis for saying this is "its closest meaning in English"? I would say "Integral Romania" or "Undivided Romania".

 * in 1919 Romania was "whole again", not "integral", and now is "incomplete", not "divided" . romanian word "intreg" means 'whole; entire' -- Criztu 19:41, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I'd misread, even while copying: I'd thought the root was integral&#259;.
 * Perhaps "The Entirety of Romania" or "The Whole of Romania"? "Whole Romania" just isn't likely English. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:41, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)

The whole Romania is greater than the 1920-1940 border in the original 'Greater Romania' idea
This idea said, that every land is a Romanian territory, whereever the great rivers (Tisza with the river Bodrog and Dnister) of the Romanian Carpathian Mountains (Eastern and Southern Carpathians) spread out their alluvial deposit. So Greater Romania is the territory between the River Tisza and River Dnister. It consist of the Carpathian Ruthenia and North-Bukovina (nowdays in Ukraine and East-Slovakia - Presov and its vicinity), the Hungarian territory east of the river Tisza, Republic of Moldova (without Transnistria), Lower-Moldavia (nowdays in Ukraine) South-Dobruja (nowdays in Bulgaria), and West-Banat (nowdays in Serbia: East part of the former Province - Vojvodina) and - naturally - Romania.

NPOV

 * Greater Hungary is irredentism;
 * Greater Bulgaria is irredentism;
 * Greater Greece is irredentism;
 * Greater Russia is irredentism;
 * Greater Romania isn't irredentism.

How do we call that? Special pleading. Or lacking WP:CIR. tgeorgescu (talk) 21:00, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
