 * ALT 3: "... that Romanian sociologist Traian Brăileanu went from proposing "long processes of interbreeding" between Jews and Romanians to advocating a "complete, biological and spiritual separation from the Jews"? Dahn (talk) 10:44, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Come to think of it: we could go with a hook combining two particularly eerie facts of his life -- that he was known as Socrates to his students, and that, like Socrates, he was tried for "corrupting the youth". Too subtle a reference? Dahn (talk) 08:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Why not? Sure, not everyone will get it, but those who do get it are bound to smile.
 * ALT 4: ... that Romanian sociologist Traian Brăileanu, known to his students as "Socrates", was tried for "corrupting the youth"? - Biruitorul Talk 14:06, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written. As most sources are offline or in Romanian, unable to check for close paraphrasing. The ALT4 hook is good, but I don't see the Vintilă source listed in the References. QPQ done. I think it would be a good idea to list User:Dahn in the credits, as he has put a lot into the article as well. Yoninah (talk) 21:22, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi. Vintilă is cited in the references as "Alexandru-Ovidiu Vintilă" (we used Christian name first, consistently), and "2010" refers to the second of his two works cited, published 2010. And thank you for crediting me. Dahn (talk) 07:54, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg That's funny, I did a search on "Vintilă", and it only highlighted the name in the article and notes, not in the bibliography. If you're interested, you may want to use Help:Shortened footnotes so the citations link directly to the bibliography. Offline and foreign-language hook refs AGF and cited inline. ALT4 good to go.
