Talk:Ion Creangă

Diacritics
Isn't his name properly Ion Creangă? -- Jmabel | Talk 20:11, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. Bogdan | Talk 20:16, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I'll correct. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:26, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

No idea what this was doing in the article...
... but I figure it's better to have it on the talk page. Relevance to Creangă escapes me. I'm guessing that it is to one of his stories, and that's fine, but it needs context: as an isolated fact, it's useless.


 * For the ones that want to know how can we translate from romanian in english the name of the character "Gerila", this is "Jack Frost".

-- Jmabel | Talk 18:02, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, there's a character "Geril&#259;" in his Harap-Alb story, but this addition was indeed pointless without a context. Bogdan | Talk 20:35, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Opinion cut
I cut the following as an unattributed opinion. Not too well written, either. "Even though some critics say Creanga is a children's writer, his writing are subtles and difficult to understand by those who are not very well prepared.( see 'Povestea povestilor')" - Jmabel | Talk 07:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

This article passes as a Good Article
This article passes as a Good Article. I will implement the details shortly. If there is any one small suggestion for improvement, it might be to be more selective with red links. There are 116 of them with few of them becoming articles. But this is minor, not a GA criteria, and just an opinion of mine. What a immensely thorough, well-written, well-illustrated article this is! Congratulations to the editors on creating this and on achieving Good Article! Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 13:40, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

What is a "memorial house"?
The article mentions a "memorial house". This is not clear in English. Is this a general museum? His former home, now a museum? Other? Pete unseth (talk) 16:09, 16 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, their former home, now a museum. 2607:9880:2408:BD:FCC0:1039:8155:9608 (talk) 05:36, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Occupation
Currently: "...was a Romanian writer, raconteur and schoolteacher." I would replace these with "...was a Romanian writer, schoolteacher and deacon." (1) raconteur word is not quite used (at least in USA/CA) and writer should cover that /occupation/ (2) Ion Creangă has studied and worked for the Orthodox church (3) "textile worker" on the summary - occupation, this sounds like he worked in a textile factory, which is not the case. I would drop that. Anyone please can write an opinion on this, before I do any updates? Thanks! Doris de SV (talk) 16:05, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Updated the occupation. Side note: he wasn't a priest, but worked in the Orthodox church as a deacon, mostly for his father in law. Doris de SV (talk) 04:07, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
