Noob questions
Salut! Mi-ai lăsat mai de mult o lămurire despre diacriticele românești pe Wikipedia (când eram și mai noob ca acu’). Eram curios dacă știi să mai fie ceva nou apropo de asta. Eu mi-am reglat toate celea pe calculator ca să am variantele corecte, așa că îs un pic izolat de cum mai e situația tehnică pentru majoritate (dar tot mă zgârie pe retină când le văd pe cele incorecte). Se întrevede schimbarea? (Mută te rog discuția pe pagina mea când/dacă răspunzi, că nu prea mă descurc cu page watching.) bogdanb (talk) 19:40, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Request
Hi. I am the person who possesed the account User:iaaasi and I want to ask you a favor:

I understood my mistakes and the reasons for my block and I changed my behaviour. Since I started my new account, User:Ddaann2, I started making only constructive edits, as you can see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ddaann2. Even if i made all my edits in good faith, the user User:Squash_Racket reverts my edits, even if it's obvious that they are constructive, judging them by the author, not by their content. He claims that I am a banned user and I have no right to contribute on wikipedia (a fact which is theoretically true)

Can you please check my last contributions on the new account and unblock my old one if it is possible? I am not here to make disruptive edits. Thanks in advance (Ddaann2 (Ddaann2 (talk) 14:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC))

A Request for Help
Hi there Bogdangiusca :), I noticed your username on Translators Available Romanian to English. I was wondering if you could help with updating Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the Romanian Wikipedia? Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi on the English Wikipedia has been majorly revamped- particularly, its being treated as a BLP now, since no one has been able to find evidence of his death. I don't know much Romanian, so I'd really appreciate your help in this :), although I understand if you don't have the time. Thanks in advance!

Ceausescu execution video
Excuse me, I'm asking this question to a couple of people because it's urgent. Is the footage made on Nicolae Ceausescu's trial and execution in public domain or is it copyrighted? Thanks. --Vitilsky (talk) 22:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Hi BG, maybe by understanding we will come to like each other again. I posted an outline of an explanation of why I was like that in 2008, and some of what I was going through in 2009. The outline of the explanation is at one of your talk pages in Wiktionary. I hope you understand that I am a nice-enough guy who was harassed a lot by psychopaths in 2007 and early 2008. They really were psychopaths. More details are on your talk page there. I feel the need to explain and apologize. You BG I don't recall that you hurt me directly. A one-time friend, 76.208.175.216 (talk) 17:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * A thing that I often think about when I think about you: we are in a number of ways similar, in many other ways pretty different. I mean mentally. Physically you look like one of my cousins in Romania (and my hair has almost gotten as dark as yours lately, though my hair color may bounce back, some hair dye I used in '06 looks to have affected my hair color). That's one reason why I don't like hurting Romanians. Back to what I was saying about our similarities and differences: in many ways, you seem like an atheist version of me. Although I would have been more interested in scientific research rather than engineering. And I would have been in Los Angeles. And many other differences. Now when I consider you, you are an atheist and an engineer in a country where---so I read---Christianity, especially Orthodox Christianity, has become very popular after the disappearance of communism. And many Romanian students these days are not going into scientific/technology careers (that was surprising when I read that, because in communist Romania, science and technology should have been very popular). So from that perspective that's kinda like a commendable move, because Romania needs more young science/technology students. However my perspective, I was raised in Los Angeles, where there is no community like in a small town, there was no real Romanian community in Los Angeles in the 80s or 90s or now, much less a church-going Romanian community. If there was one, I was not part of it. Until age 20---possibly even to this day, I'm not sure, I could count on both hands how many times I had been to a church. One reason was because there were no Orthodox churches in the area, the other reasons, the churches that were around they were not part of our culture or community, and my parents don't seem to have been church-goers, maybe because they were raised in communist Romania. I grew up pretty secular, and my education was completely secular, in my L.A. public schools I don't even remember that any of my teachers ever gave a personal side discussion about creationism or something like that. This was Los Angeles. I had a secular scientific education. So you see, I had no church-going religious culture to rebel against. I grew up in a non-church-going environment and religion was something you interpreted yourself a lot. At some times in my early teens I was an atheist. In my late teens religion was out the window, I was into Rimbaud. In my early 20s I got into the popular music of our generation more, rock and rap, again not a religious environment. Religions were studied, but I was undecided, most of the time not an atheist, though atheism obviously was there. Now after some experiences I had in my mid 20s, I'm a sort of Buddhist. Not an atheist. Our interaction got kind of messed up crazy persons in myspace that messed with my mind and attacked me, so it may be years before we talk to each other like we used to. 76.208.175.216 (talk) 22:26, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * BG replies: Alex, why are you spending these minutes with me, lil' BG? Don't you remember what BG posted in 2003? BG posted this: "One explanation is that Romanian-Dacian is in fact proto-Latin." BG is just going with what BG goes with. A BG is a BG. 76.208.175.216 (talk) 00:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I do remember that BG posted that, and I linked that before and I can link that again, it's on Talk:Romanian language going back to 2003. Mostly, I'm spending a few minutes with BG because I met BG back in late 2004, and I don't have many Romanian friends. BG doesn't want to be friends anymore? I remember when BG came in 2005 to defend me against the attacks of Chronographos on User talk:Chronographos I think it was. But BG changed. He's sure of his atheism. He's also sure that Buddhism is just a body of thought developed by some people hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and it bears no relation to physical reality. BG likes Stephen Hawkings. Even though Hawkings releases "warnings" about extraterrestrials that we've all heard a million times before, but Hawkings seems to think that if he says it, then it has some sort of stamp of approval. 76.208.175.216 (talk) 01:01, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Here is what BG posted in July 2003:


 * One way to explain this is that Romanian/Dacian is in fact proto-latin, a language from which Latin evolved. Even Dacians from the Roman Empire were mostly living in mountains and there were not so often contacts with Roman cities (mostly in lowlands). And also the Roman occupation lasted only around 150 years, less than England's domination and most colonists and soldiers were not from Rome, but from other previously occupied provinces and it's hard to believe they could teach Latin in its whole complexity to the locals.


 * Another thing that could enforce this theory is that Romanian keeps some characteristics of classical Latin grammer not found or simplified in other Romance languages (even Italian), like declensions, neutre gender, verb tenses, etc.


 *  Also, on a more subjective tone, once someone learns Romanian, learning another language (latin or even just indo-european) much easily.


 *  It is believed that the Latins (to become Romans after the founding of Rome in 700 BC) came to Italian peninsula only in the 1st millenium BC and the most likely place to be their origin can't be Northern Europe (no language connection to German), nor Western Europe (Gauls, Celts), but Danube region, where the Dacians lived. There are quite a few historians that agree to this theory, but still not enough physical proofs. We just know that the Danube culture of the Dacian was pretty advanced at the time (clay plates writing even older than Sumer) 


 *  The only proof of an independent Dacian language from Latin is the 200 words that are believed to be of Dacian origin, some of them are also found in Albanian (they have a language based on the local Thracian dialects) and some in the language of the Balts. But the Dacians were just a tribe of the Thracians (as Herodot said) and they shared some vocabulary, but the differences were pretty big.


 * Oh, and there are some similarities of Romanian with Sanskrit (about 500 words, for example "doina" = some type of mourning song -> "daina" in Sanskrit).


 * Another evidence is that of there are many words from Sardinian which are closer to Romanian than to Italian, French, Spanish or even Latin. That was explained by saying that the same rules of language developement were used in both places. (as example: "limba" in Romanian and Sardinian as opposed to all other Romance languages: langue, lingua, etc. and "cantigu" in Sardinian, "cantec" in Romanian as oposed to canzone, chanson etc). Could it be that not Romans colonized Sardinia, but another Dacian tribe as the Latins ?


 * Bogdan 11:25 9 Jul 2003 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.174.44 (talk)


 * In July 2003 while Bogdan G. was an atheist and ranting about Dacians colonizing Sardinia and becoming Dacian-Sardinians, I had never even heard of any idea that the Dacians spoke a Latin-like language. I hadn't even begun to get into Romanian studies yet in 2003. I wasn't an atheist, I had no religion, I was collecting books, etc. 76.208.174.44 (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)


 * :) Sorry, I didn't get yet to read all of this, I've been quite busy lately IRL.
 * Anyway, about the silly stuff I did say seven years ago about linguistics: well, logic is not enough for a scientific theory, you need good raw data. As they say in CS, Garbage In, Garbage Out. At that time, I was trying to understand some stuff and the data I found was mostly wrong, so I got obviously some wrong conclusions. It didn't take long to see the contradictions in the theory and how the data was mostly fabricated. bogdan (talk) 20:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * It's okay cutie. I made very similar mistakes about one year after you posted that: September, October, November, December 2004. I remembered from before that often you wouldn't notice posts on your talk page till days or weeks later. If you find time to read the rest of the posts, mostly I'm trying to make an environment where we understand each other more. I recently encountered insane, twisted figures, in 2007 and early 2008, and they affected my mind. I apologize and I want you to know that would never have happened if they hadn't messed with me. In Wiktionary I was explaining in more detail what they did who they were etc., if you want to read that later, an outline of what happened. I felt the need to talk to some people, including you, about what happened. 76.208.174.44 (talk) 21:59, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * We live in infinity BG, if there be infinity. There is a lot that competes for our time and attention. I know you're into science and engineering and you are currently an atheist. I'm also into science, not so much engineering. Here are some guys, not scientists per se, you may want to give some attention to if you haven't already, that I've found valuable: Arthur Rimbaud, Charles Bukowski, Max Ernst (see John Russell's book about him showing a lot of his work or whatever book is available in Bucharest), Basquiat, Picasso, Pierre Reverdy, and then there are those guys like Paul Eluard and Louis Aragon and others. I'm also going to take a look at Buddhism again. Talk to you later, 76.208.174.44 (talk) 16:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)


 * BG, BG, BG, BG. Seven years ago: 2003. I miss that year now. I didn't use that year as well as I could have. I'm doing alright now, and I use the internet sparingly now. For the entire year 2003 I used the internet less than 10 hours. A few years ago though I was spending too much time on the internet. Some day I want to explain more about what happened during the past 7 years. The way people are though, if I told all the details of my story it would probably not only be a bother for me, but it would probably not be helpful for the humanity of today. By which I mean...instead of making them more moral, it could do the opposite. 76.208.169.233 (talk) 07:34, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * It's likely B. that you never saw those posts where I said some stuff about you last year. It would be better if you didn't, and I'm not going to tell you where you can find the posts. BG, if a person gets shot in the leg badly enough, that person will limp at least for awhile. I didn't get shot in the leg, I was attacked in an elaborate way by 4 psychopaths (acting on ther own, though there may have been some contact between some of them) in myspace (not at my personal myspace, at some spoof account that I had back then) from late December 2006 to March 2008 during a very sensitive time. I didn't get shot in the leg: getting shot in the leg by some devices will hardly affect you, getting shot in the leg by high calibers can take your leg off. Getting shot by lesser calibers can make you limp for awhile. I was attacked mentally by those psychopaths, and they affected me for awhile. I posted more details on User talk:Bogdan in Wiktionary, check the history there some day. After almost 3 years that harassment has faded away a lot. In 2009 though it was still bothering me a lot. That's why I was moody in 2008 and 2009. You remember me from before B.G., I'm a nice guy. Talk to you later, 76.208.169.233 (talk) 20:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way BG this explanation is for you and for me, not for that kid who has no idea what I'm talking about and who first encountered me late in the day. I woke up out of some fresh cool dreams this morning, dreams usually open those other worlds for my mind. My waking days these past few years, my mind was affected by idiots who should have never contacted me, let alone bother me. You've never been to L.A.? It's a nice place, and the weather is about as good as it gets. 76.208.169.233 (talk) 19:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * No BG has never been to L.A. I visited Bucharest in 1994 when it was in a transitional phase, a lot was under construction and yet to be redeveloped back then. I'm not into cold winters, I went in the summer. Living in L.A. all these years, I'm accustomed to fair weather, I don't have a good tolerance for cold weather, and it usually doesn't get too hot here. Also the beach is just over my shoulder, whereas you have to travel a ways to get to the beach. Who cares about the beach? Why I do. I like it there. 76.208.169.233 (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * BG, I miss the days when it was me, you and some others at this website, before that cocksucker and liar appeared, and others. 76.208.169.233 (talk) 20:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I want to detail a lot more than what I described on User talk:Bogdan, but I don't think I'll do that here. Or maybe some I will later. Now you saw how I described that figure here in Wiki just now, that figure who posted attacks to get me banned after I posted some stuff about him. My interaction with him snowballed in mid 2009, that would have not happened in that way had I not went through what I went through with others in 2007 and 2008. As I stated somewhere in Wiki before, I don't know if I would ever have even returned to Wiki had I not been attacked like that by murderous twisted psychopaths in myspace in 2007 and 2008. I left Wiki in spring 2006 and I didn't expect that I would have come back to edit often here again, but after what happened from late 2006 to early 2008, I came back here to forget what happened and to bring back early 2006 and 2005, when I was editing more often. And that was a move that worked well enough, although as some editors saw, I was very moody when I came back, those occurances had just happened some months before. The problem with internet interaction like this especially, we don't know what some person has just went through, or even why they are editing. When I came back in mid 2008 I tried to let people know that I came back mostly for fun and to get back to an atmosphere I had been away from for awhile, and to get away from a bad atmosphere. However, Wiki itself has its own passers-by, who I got into fights with. I posted above that I miss the early days of Wiki: actually I would prefer to have edited here much less than I did in 2005. BG, you don't pass by here much anymore, and I don't know how you feel about this internet age we live in, I favor casual and spare internet use. These years are starting to get---don't you guys notice it? I miss the late 1990s and early 2000s. Fuck the internet, even when by my own standards I was spending too much time on the internet in 2006 or 2007, it wasn't a lot compared to other people, maybe an average of 2 hours a day, I was exploring Los Angeles in those times a lot a lot, I think back and my travels were constant. In 2005 I spent more time using the internet, because this site had just come to my notice. That time was used exploring information at Wiki and that was okay. Is the internet making our planet less enjoyable? Think about that BG, and see you later, 76.208.169.233 (talk) 06:09, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I hope Bg that you are engineering a device that will kill off millions/billions of these monstrosities and evil abominations that are classified as "Homo sapiens". For the betterment of humanity. 76.208.162.157 (talk) 00:35, 2 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh, see how bad they were and how angry they got me. Well something has to be done to improve mankind, I'm more interested in changing the culture rather than dropping the new H-Bombs. Bg, you know as a young man who once was a boy who read a lot of sci-fi and comic books and enjoyed science and still enjoys science, yes an engineer has a lot of potential. But most of them end up working to help build a bridge or a building or an automobile or something like that, which is okay, but not my interest. I don't know if you're interested in the far-out possibilities of engineering, or if you are satisfied with the more everyday stuff. However BG, BG, Bg, BG, I don't know if you are building BG stuff. 76.208.181.160 (talk) 09:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Well BG, I don't know if you will add anything to engineering or science. But maybe you will add something to mass murder in one way or another. See Bg, I'm an H. sapien, you're an H. sapien. Yet BG, it is clear to me that many H. sapiens need to be trimmed away. Think about that BG. By the way Bg, you like to act like you are Mr. Bucharest, but really spend some time in L.A., you may change your mind. It's fun being in this city with almost no other Romanian-Americans in sight. It's fun being among the Koreans, Blacks, Central Americans, Chinese, because I create my own world much easier, like a man from the continent among islanders. 76.208.175.159 (talk) 07:41, 15 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey BG BG, Lil' BG BG. Last time I checked there were over 6 BILLION people on this planet. That's a large number BG, and I wouldn't want to see that number double too quickly. I'm pretty clear-minded and lucid these days BG, and I'm healing from past events. And guess what, now that I'm healed, I would like to see many others dead. 76.208.175.159 (talk) 06:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Cf.World population: The rapid increase in human population over the course of the 20th century has raised concerns about whether Earth is experiencing overpopulation. The scientific consensus is that the current population expansion and accompanying increase in usage of resources are linked to threats to the ecosystem, such as rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, global warming, and pollution.---The scientific consensus. 76.208.175.159 (talk) 06:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Bogdan's 9 to 5: he works for an automobile manufacturer or a building business. He pops aspirin. He wants to marry soon. Bg's brains are BG brains, and they only have had BG experiences and BG thoughts. He probably does however agree that the human population will expand quicker than science can make such an expansion comfortable. Bogdan however has no ideas about what to do about that. BG wants to pay his bills, take vacations, then drop dead in several decades before the population explodes too much. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 08:03, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Haha, no, neither. I'm just working in software development, doing some magic with SQL.
 * About the world population: don't worry, it will peak around 9 billion and slowly start to go down as Africans and Asians start to move to the cities. Urbanization greatly reduces the number of children. In lots of places, including Europe and Japan, we have serious issues with the population decline. The US gets a lot of immigrants; without them, the population of the US would go down, too. bogdan (talk) 08:23, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've thought about the Africa-Asia becoming more like Europe effect. That scenario is usually brought up when these discussions are had. However, will it be as smooth as that? Not necessarily. Remember, Europe and America never had so many at once in the first place. Asia and Africa have so many, billions, and so many will multiply for awhile. They are not going to just "stop having kids" because we want them to. I have never donated one cent to Asia or Africa. Then again, I'm a thrifty fellow. Take care, 76.208.174.177 (talk) 08:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * People just stop having kids after moving to the cities or getting more educated or wealthier. And it's not just in the most developed countries, it's everywhere. For instance in Bangladesh, the country where my underwear was made:
 * Bangladesh, Total fertility rate, 1970: 6.9 (children per woman)
 * Bangladesh, Total fertility rate, 1990: 4.4
 * Bangladesh, Total fertility rate, 2008: 2.3 (source)
 * So, don't worry about this issue. It's more worrying the waste and improper usage of resources. (war, defence, nukes and all that) bogdan (talk) 08:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, well I won't discuss it here anymore. But I just think about all those people out there...and I know there are much more than just 4 psychopaths in that world out there among them...when I think of all those sociopaths among the populace---extra-terrestrials, demons, chimeras are fictional so far. Human sociopaths are real, I encountered some, and after that I really changed my views about mankind. Send money to Africa, Asia, Louisiana, Kansas, Venezuela? Why? I don't care about them much. Bogdan, you are an atheist well okay but if you go Christian don't ever turn the other cheek to the point where others take advantage of you. There is so much in the Bible that has gotten decent people violated by maniacs over the centuries. Jesus was probably just an ordinary man---if not, well anyway be careful about the bible, I don't need to tell you that. Anyway, I believe in karma and dharma or something similar, and I don't feel that Christianity is helping people enough. And moral atheism can be just fine even if it's not true, but after my experiences, I'm not going towards atheism. I don't know if buddhism can help people more than christianity, I just expect that buddhism is closer to reality, and if so then buddhism should be more of a help to mankind. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 09:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * My brother said not too long ago, "These Westerners who convert to Buddhism or something, if you are going to convert to something convert to Christianity." I didn't tell my brother that I had already moved towards a type of Buddhism while still being open to Jesus if he was on the right track. My brother was not referring to me when he was thinking of Western converts to buddhism, he was talking about some other people. But these issues are very complex, and I don't want to tell my brother yet, "Hey man, you're not much into Christianity anyway, why don't you look into Buddhism more?" It has to make more sense for his life, the way it makes sense for mine. It took me many years to kind of realize that buddhism is probably the religion out there for me, and I'm not sure about that, but that's what I expect, that karma and dharma explains a lot of what I experienced. Buddhism though is not the only religion that talks about karma and dharma. Anyway, you have had a different life, and you have different expectations. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 09:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The article Dharma explains a lot, but doesn't exactly clarify what/which dharma concepts I'm talking about, because there are several more or less related concepts there. The older meaning of dharma, from the PIE root, was a concept of natural justice and order, a concept that is found in philosophies across the planet throughout history. There are other developments of the idea, for example dharma as in: the paths that are there for a person in their life. Batman and Spider-Man have very transparent dharma, but their karma is a mystery. If they were to exist in this world, we would clearly see Batman and Spider-Man's dharma, but we wouldn't know their karma. Buddhists have developed other meanings of dharma. The meaning that I'm mostly referring to is the one that I explained just now in my discussion of Batman and Spider-Man. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, I remember in the early 2000s when I used to watch Dharma and Greg and eat Danish cookies with milk. Those were nice times. I wouldn't mind having a girlfriend like that, though I'm not into blonde women so much. But she was a fun person. I mean the character. That was before my life went beyond the normal in the late 2000s. Although back then the dharma/karma, as I call it, was developing. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 20:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * There is always the question about whether, when we use these terms and concepts from hundreds and hundreds of years ago and adapt them to our views, whether we create a new philosophy. My answer is yes, I have my ideas, and when I reference dharma I am aware that I'm referencing it, in other words pointing to some ideas that are close to what I'm talking about, if not exactly what I'm talking. Not exactly, because the various concepts of dharma have a context that I haven't had time to look into that much yet. That's a historical/cultural anthropological investigation, to clarify the actual development and the context of those ideas. I'm just referencing them as approximations. That is why I say that I am "some type of Buddhist", because I would have to study their beliefs in detail and relate them to my ideas to be more specific. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 21:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * In my teens and again in the early 2000s I was studying a lot of philosophies and religions, but I wasn't getting many clues from actual life back then as to which philosophy/religion from the philosophies that claim to be describing reality is actually closest to reality. And I was often in a flux: Rimbaud-ism, Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and others, and in my early teens I had that "scientific atheism" which came from my largely scientific education. But in my mid 20s as I've been saying, I no longer was in the area of "normal life". That's when actual life began to unfold a story, and immediately it looks to be a clue about reality: and it's interesting that the experiences/the story doesn't immediately fit into any existing religion, nor does it fit into Bogdan's view. Of course, people like Bogdan don't even know what happened with me and how, and many people out there will try to fit what happened into their views: Orthodox Christianity, scientific Atheism, Islam, Catholicism, etc. However they don't know what happened and how it happened: only I know. I know it doesn't fit scientific atheism, as for most religions, well they always find ways to fit all kinds of new developments into their religions. The cocksuckers. I've met some of them, mostly online. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 01:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey thanks for having these posts on your talk page. If you're wondering which Dharma M.C. Adam Yauch is talking about on the song "Bodhisattva vow" from the 1994 Ill communication album, which I first heard when I was 13 years old, he's talking about the Buddhist Dharma, specifically meaning "the teachings of Buddha" or "the Truth". M.C. Adam Yauch: "Who brought down the Dharma for the sisters and brothers." That's what I'm trying to do with the experiences from my actual life, bring the Dharma for the sisters and brothers. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 06:59, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * On that other topic though, if the population peaks to 9 billion, that's already a disaster, I wouldn't be comfortable on such a world. Bogdan, I already frickin' read the article that talks about the population forecasts. I already frickin' know that developed countries have a lower birth rate. However 9 billion is not only too much, I don't expect that that 9 billion will decrease to 7 billion unless something more happens. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 00:30, 22 June 2010 (UTC)


 * And I don't mean that resources can't support 9 billion, I mean that 9 billion is already a disaster. And 9 billion won't go back to 6 billion unless something drastic happens. I don't even like the 6.8 billion population that we have now. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 00:43, 22 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I shouldn't let population increase bother me too much and it won't help worrying, that's true. However I want to talk about this and make my disapproval clear, and 9 billion won't be "just fine" for a person like me. Fuck those people. And when I say "those people" I don't mean any section in particular, I mean fuck them. My favorite painters and poets are in the past, I enjoyed a world with much less than 9 billion people, and fuck a planet with 9 billion people. I don't want that. I walk the streets or drive through L.A. and most of my favorite moments, unless I'm looking to be around a lot of people (I often do look for that, but more often I don't), is when I'm on the streets with few others in sight. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Bogdan, I'm thinking of saying that most H. sapiens are pieces of shit. I'm trying to like a lot of people again. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 01:52, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Take a look at this picture from 1933 on the main page File:Rockefeller Center, December 1933.jpg. 1933 looked like just yesterday. Engineering is pretty cool, maybe you'll help build some Futurist buildings. None of my 3 favorite poets were exactly Buddhists, but that's not my concern, and I'm not a Buddhist exactly yet either. Rimbaud when he was writing had thrown off Catholicism, and in his not always so-serious Saison en Enfer he makes references to the lost "wisdom of the East" that he was "seeking". I might quote that later but you guys can find that. Pierre Reverdy according to the Wiki article accepted Catholicism. He was one of the most influential modern French poets, and one of my favorites. The case of Reverdy shows yet again that you can be a very modern artist (he was one of the most modern of French poets), but your religious ideas can be pretty wrong. Although I have not yet detected catholicism in his poems, the way you can clearly see it in Paul Claudel, etc. who I haven't read much of. Dali purportedly mixed Catholicism with Surrealism. I don't need any of that Catholicism... Buddhism fits into my life and my ideas well enough. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 02:20, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I want to remove some posts from the top of this section, but I posted them awhile ago with a different though similar IP, so I don't want to be reverted if I remove them. But I'm going to attempt that anyway. The discussion has moved on and I want to change the atmosphere. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 20:44, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a new filter feature that doesn't allow for the change. I wanted to remove the first post and remove the first two sentences from the second post. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 20:48, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Well then I'll go into some other threads before I leave this page. "During his stay in America he (Max Ernst) published a two page list of poets (poets/writers on the left hand page, painters on the right), writers and painters that he particularly admired in a 1941 issue of the journal View. Under the heading "Max Ernst's Favorite Poets and Painters of the past" we find a list of the poets/writers Rimbaud, (Alfred) Jarry, Guillaume Apollinaire, William Blake, Lautreamont, Poe, Whitman, Baudelaire, Goethe, Browning, Coleridge, Shakespeare, Novalis, Holderlin, Hugo, Lewis Carrol, Crabbe, Solomon, Arnim, Heine." I've mentioned all 20 that he mentions. Well that list is similar to many people's lists, including mine (Rimbaud, Apollinaire, Jarry, etc.). I used to like Poe and Blake more than I do now, I'm not into Shakespeare much, Coleridge was okay, I like reading Whitman but I can't use his style much because that style is too Whitman, etc. I've read some from those Germans he mentions. Bukowski wasn't publishing when Max Ernst compiled that list. I'm not going to list the painters he lists, you guys can find that. He mostly mentions painters of the past as the title says, but a newer painter he mentions is the Italian Chirico, also the Dutch Van Gogh, etc. 76.208.174.177 (talk) 21:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I'm almost healed, when they attacked my mind they physically affected me for awhile as well. Little Bogdan, the little Sardinian, the Little Sardine. I recently finished (re-)reading a biography about Apollinaire, and there are some stories (actual occurances in his life) about him that I want to tell you. For now I will tell you that while he was a refreshing poet who wrote from about 1900 to his death in 1918, it is agreed that his writings on art are kinda bad, though they helped popularize modern art---his writings about painters were full of fancies and ramblings where he was going off and writing whatever apparently occured to him, leaving Picasso and Braque and others to scratch their heads when they read what he wrote about their paintings and techniques. Anyway, most of Tzara I already see in Apollinaire, and it was in fact Apollinaire who established a new thread of French poetry in a time when Symbolism from the 1890s was still lingering. Apollinaire is not just a precursor of Dada, some of his poems are early Dada, and they are included in many Dada anthologies. I like Los Angeles. Talk to you later 76.208.174.177 (talk) 02:44, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Little Bogdan, little, little. There is so much to talk about. I was going to talk about Guillaume Apollinaire, the half-Polish half-Italian (? the identification of his father, last time I checked, was an unresolved issue, the most likely fellow was an Italian I think, Francesco Flugi d'Aspermont) born with the surname "de Kostrowitsky", a Polish surname. Kostrovitsky was his Polish though French-speaking mom's surname. He later adopted the penname Guillaume Apollinaire, his first name was Wilhelm/Guglielmo/Guillaume, while Apollinaris I think was a middle name from his mother's father. Guillaume Apollinaire was born in 1880 in Rome, he was French-educated, baptised Catholic (his mother was from the Polish Catholic background), spoke and wrote in French, started writing in his teens, his writing matured about 1898, 1899, 1900. Was heavily influenced by the Symbolists of the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s. Symbolism was at its tail-end by 1900 and there were many movements and new styles moving away from so-called Symbolism from 1900 to 1905. Apollinaire's poems went on the trail of a new modernism, away from symbolism. By the time Apollinaire published his first collection, Alcools, in 1913, he had hit upon a new modern style, seen in poems such as "Zone" (1912? 1913?) and "Vendemaire" (1912? 1913?). Later he was to write some proto-Dadaist/early Dada poems, such as "Les Fenetres". I want to continue this discussion later, my info is mostly from Francis Steegmuller's 1963 biography on Apollinaire, Apollinaire, Poet among the Painters, a biography that I read some from in the year 2000 but I didn't finish the book till recently. No one checks it out from the library so I can check it out pretty much whenever I want to. Most of these kinda books, no one is really reading them in Los Angeles and it's not just in Los Angeles that they are not being read. It's usually as if the books are there in the libraries for me, and they are my books. Talk to you later, 76.208.163.112 (talk) 04:37, 4 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Bogdan, I would lke to clone myself, and some select others, including maybe you, to create... We would replace the white trash that are found in too many (all the) states of America. They don't look European anymore. They don't have European culture. It's strange. Many of them are like hogs. I would put America in ship-shape. 76.208.177.255 (talk) 02:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Bogdan, why would you want to waste yourself with death, in the name of what you think in your youth is "most likely". But your life has been normal, and to people with normal lives it appears that death is "most likely the end". It's not. With your Dacian-Sardinians. 76.208.177.255 (talk) 04:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been through a lot these past years, and when I think about the planet these days I think about how glad I am that I'm from Continental Europe. I love the cultures of Continental Europe, and mixed with nowadays American culture. But so many don't mix the cultures because they have no more ties to Continental Europe.76.208.177.255 (talk) 07:30, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The 4 who attacked me during that time, they were each acting on their own as far as I can tell. One of them was a mentally ill black kid from Puerto Rico who may be gay, another was a mentally ill hog kid from Tennesee who may be gay, one of them is unidentified so far, another was from a dirty island in the North Atlantic. None of them knew much about who I was because they didn't attack me at my personal account. Then I came back to Wiki and dealt with the dorks here, dorks like **** and **** and the **** who I got into a scene with at the Palatschinke article. But so far the figures at Wiki are mild. 76.208.177.255 (talk) 20:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * But what I want to talk about now is not the bad guys who almost drove me crazy, but instead the parts of life that I like, painting, writings etc. For example, some one handed Bukowski to me in late 2007 and I began reading Bukowski in early 2008. That really helped to get my mind away from those psychopaths on the internet, and helped to get my mind back in real life. Bukowski was born to a German-American father and a German mother in 1920, they brought him to L.A. as a child, and as an adult he lived a lot in the neighborhood where I grew up, and the post office where he worked most of the time is only 6 blocks away from me. A short walk. But I want to talk more about Apollinaire also, I first read some from Apollinaire I guess in 1999 or 2000. 76.208.177.255 (talk) 20:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, my part of Los Angeles is fascinating. Most of L.A. and its satellite cities are interesting. People come from Middle America and they find L.A. to be very different. Many of them then flee back to their corny states and towns. Good, they should flee. 76.208.177.255 (talk) 22:07, 6 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The year 2000, I was 19 and 20 in Los Angeles. All that "loud rock music and rap music" back then, Eminem had gotten very popular that year, while in rock nothing much was happening. Most of the same o' in the year 2000 as far as rock. In 1998 and 1999 I had distanced myself from rock and rap music, I was listening personally to no new rap in mid to late 1998 and 1999, and rock wasn't my outlet much either. My outlet, my exploration in 1998 and 1999 was mostly Rimbaud's writings, symbolism, and surrealism (Eluard, Breton, Soupault, etc.). Mostly, or in large part. That was what really got my mind into it, while the rock singers and rappers were fading away because they weren't engaging my mind/intellect enough. Religion and science didn't offer much in 1998 and 1999. Science-fiction and weird fiction was old news. I wasn't into movies much. Getting into that kind of poetry was a satisfying outlet (plus drinking alcoholic drinks, smoking marijuana etc.). Now Apollinaire in 1999 and 2000 I was just reading some of his poems that I found here & there, I could read some French back then too, but anyway I was mostly reading English translations of Apollinaire back then. Recently I found a bilingual edition of 1913's Alcools at the downtown central Library, complete aside from 3 early ones that the new edition's editor decided to leave out. I like Apollinaire's writings, he is refreshing, and he somehow mixes touches of Paul Verlaine with his own new styles. And he was the first major modern city-life poet I think, the first to include all that modernity in his style and content (Baudelaire did that for his times, and Rimbaud in his earlier phases so did others, but early 20th century big city life was not being expressed well in poetry before Apollinaire). I want to talk about how he composed that pre-Dada (1912, also pre-World War I) poem "Les fenetres" (The Windows), I'll get back to that in a minute, he composed it in Dada fashion also, his friends were suggesting lines to him at random and he incorporated some of them. I like Dada poetry by the way, I've read a nice amount of that by now. Some of my first readings of Dadaist verbal compositions were Marcel Duchamp's phrases, that was 1998 when I came across those. To me though back then (and now), I read Dadaist phrases not as a nihilist, but as a Surrealist. I was looking for the real life, the better life in those poems, I was not and am not a nihilist. Though I can't really tell a nihilist what "the meaning or purpose of human life" is, and if one sees human life as purposeless and (insert other terms here), well many do. I look for something else. 76.208.167.190 (talk) 22:42, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I have to return this Apollinaire biography to the library again, so I want to discuss "Les fenetres" now. In December 1912, Apollinaire wrote a poem "Les fenetres", a poem which was also functioning as a preface to the catalogue of Robert Delaunay's exhibition at the gallery Der Sturm in Berlin. Apollinaire took the title "Les fenetres" from a title of one of Delaunay's paintings (Delaunay's "Les Fenetres simultanees", 1912) at the exhibition, a painting which partly inspired the content of the poem also. A friend of Apollinaire, Andre Billy, writes the following about Apollinaire's composition of "Les fenetres": "One day Apollinaire and Dupuy sat with me chez Crucifix, Rue Daunou, drinking vermouth. Suddenly Guillaume burst out laughing: he had completely forgotten to write the preface to Robert Delaunay's catalogue, which he had promised to mail that very day at the latest. "Waiter, quick, paper, pen, ink!" The three of us got the job done in no time. Guillaume began at once: "Du rouge et vert tout le jaune se meurt" (which is still the first line of the poem) and stopped there. Then Dupuy dictated: "Quand chantent les aras dans le forets natales", Apollinaire transcribed that faithfully and added: "Abatis de pihis" and once again he stopped. Then Andre Billy dictated "Il y a un poeme a faire sur l'oiseau qui n'a qu'une aile", and Apollinaire wrote that down. "It would be a good idea", Billy said, "since the matter is urgent, to send your preface as a message telephonique", and that is why the next line reads: "Nous l'enverrons en message telephonique". Andre Billy goes on to say that Apollinaire called such poems "conversation poems". You can find the rest of Apollinaire's kinda short December 1912 poem "Les fenetres" online somewhere if you don't want to go to a library or bookstore. For more about the writing of that poem see Steegmuller's Apollinaire, Poet among the Painters pgs 236 to 239. Now when you read the poem (which I first read in 2000 or maybe 1999) then you read how it was written, you really begin to realize "Hey, that's a Dada poem before Dada." Yes, this has been said before about that Apollinaire poem and many others. It's also a Dadaistic poem written before World War I, Dadaist tendencies were stirring before WWI. I like these kind of writings, they give me the mental satisfaction, and in 1998 and 1999 such writings and paintings were my primary interest. Of course, I still like a lot of the music on the radio, I'm not nearly as disinterested in the new music as I was from mid 1998 to early 2000. That music appeals to other parts of the mind/heart, other parts of life. 76.208.175.9 (talk) 20:14, 23 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Take some time to read a biography of Apollinaire, it's worth it: one can learn a lot about the art scene in pre-1919 France by reading Steegmuller's Apollinaire biography: for example, Apollinaire hung out with most of the major painters of the time. On the back of Donald Revell's translated bilingual edition of Apollinaire's Alcools (originally published in 1913 in French), they even say that Alcools: "provides a key to the century's history and consciousness." Oh, Alex, they are just exaggerating, so they can sell copies of that 1995 bilingual French & English edition. No, that's not an exaggeration, it is a key. Not "the" key, obviously, but "a" key, yes. Little, little Bogdan. Read Alcools also, I liked it (although you won't find the Dadaistic poems in that 1913 collection, those were written later). By the way, L.A. public libraries are now closed two days out of the week, Mondays and Sundays. It's the latest way for the city to save money. They couldn't balance the budget yet again, but I don't recall that they've ever had to close all L.A. public libraries two days out of the week. 76.208.175.9 (talk) 03:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * i know there is a lot to read out there: and when I say "a lot to read" I'm not just referring to what you will find in a Literature section. I'm also referring to science books and mathbooks, history books etc. I have a lot of books: on a bookshelf near my bed Chekov and Truman Capote's short stories are near Rimbaud, Apollinaire and Bukowski. I keep my mathbooks on some shelves where I keep the books that I don't look through often. Precisely because there is so much to read and so much to do in this world, I am bringing Apollinaire and his writings to your attention, and his milieu also. 76.208.175.9 (talk) 21:52, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Little B. B, B, B. If you ever come to L.A. you may want to check out the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. I used to go there often when I was a kid, I still go there sometimes. Very very nice assemblage of stuff, nice collections and a nice place. Check out their website. I remember when I was a kid I acquired a large new $ 50 or $ 60 fully illustrated book about the animal kingdom, one of those real cool ones with nice illustrations and detailed entries for the animals shown. I used to be into studying animal life a lot as a kid, animals of the past also, and some plants. Yes the world of science is usually fun. When I went to Bucharest I tried to go to a museum, I think it was a history museum---I went but they were closing early or something that day, or closed for renovation, that was 1994. However B science is only part of the world, and your atheist religion---not just an atheist you presumably also don't believe in an afterlife, various psychic phenomenon, etc.---is a fantasy. I'm not saying it's not an often comfortable fantasy, many people are drawn to that fantasy and they steer their minds and live their lives according to it. It's a religion. Your religion. I'm one of the few who knows how much of a fantasy religion your belief is. I didn't literally ask for that knowledge though, my life just went like that, and it wasn't easy for me to get through 2007 and 2008 and 2009. My knowledge did not come about through rigorous logic, rather through indubitable physical experiences. Physical experiences which are quite open to scientific study. And they will pass all scrutinity. 76.208.175.9 (talk) 20:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

 * B is like 28 years old now. B is a grown man. B why whould I feel the need to beat you up, well B I didn't feel like beating you up back in 2005 or 2006 or early 2007. I was different in 2001, I was different in 2002, I was different in mid 2004, I was different in early 2006, I was different in mid 2006, I was different in late 2006. I don't want to detail too much about late 2006 and 2007 and early 2008 here now: B in late December 2006 and in 2007 I encountered sick psychos who were so evil and twisted it's difficult to imagine, and they crept on me during a time that is difficult to imagine also---not normal. I don't want to explain too much here, now, maybe later. Another man who was crept on by two or even 3 of the same psychos later contacted the FBI---the FBI, Bogdan, that's how bad they were. This man, who was in Tennessee at the time, managed through a series of events, to identify at least one of the psychos, he collected a lot of info, and sent the information to the FBI in 2008 or 2009, information including the psycho's name, pictures of him, his location, I think his IPs, his internet hangouts etc. and detals about what he was doing online---the man also discussed how the psycho attacked me also. I can link the man's personal websites, he's a nice guy. He was attacked by the psycho also, he believes that he was attacked worse than I was: probably, because there are many indications that that man was actually being stalked in real life by associates of the psycho or by one of the psychos, whereas the psycho's scary messages that it may be stalking me were just scare tactics. The psycho wasn't in L.A. at the time and it had no accomplices there. What happened in 2007 and early 2008 was bad, Bogdan, so much happened, and it interacted. I will write a lot more about those times at another website in the future. 76.208.167.96 (talk) 20:12, 2 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Bogdan: he seems to be an atheist, he doesn't believe in any kind of afterlife, he doesn't beleive that the ideas found in Buddhism are close to being an accurate description of human reality. Bogdan stoops to pick up a flower or a baby bird out in the field: "I am close to apprehending reality", Bogdan thinks perhaps, "atheism is correct, furthermore there is no afterlife, there is no karma or dharma, I am a Bogdan and I arose from sperm and ova, sperm and ova which go back to the pre-cambrian seas of a young earth, an earth which came from an accreting proto-solar system, a sun which came from mindless physical processes in outer space, and that goes back to the Big Bang it seems, and before that..."---Something from nothing? Our conceptions, the framing of the problem according to "something" and "nothing", that framework is incorrect? "Nothing" is fantasy, because something exists? Well one can go on discussing this, but my experiences: that a mindless universe unfolded what happened in my life?---oh please little Bogdan, I haven't even told you what happened and how it happened, and how it's all backed up by evidence, because even where there isn't much evidence left I can still take polygraph tests and more accurate tests that should be available soon. 76.208.167.96 (talk) 23:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Hey while I want to see a population reduction even from what he have now, I also want to see even more advancements in the medical sciences. The "catch" is though, sometimes a large population can speed scientific advancements, for example an article pointed out that China is poised to make rapid advancements because of the sheer number of engineers for example, that they have. We will see whether sheer numbers among the Chinese actually leads to a significant increase in discoveries and advancements. I think a factor that will check this speed of advancement among the Chinese is: inspiration/imagination: those millions and millions of Chinese may not hit upon what one guy in Switzerland or Austria may think of---because of different ways of thinking. 76.208.187.11 (talk) 19:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * How is it in Los Angeles now in 2010? I find it very crowded, though my perception that L.A. is more crowded now than it was in 2004 may partly be imagination. There are more new kids though that were born, that's for sure ;) 2004 seemed to me less populated in Los Angeles, for whatever reasons. Maybe I was in a state of mind where I just wasn't bothered by the population around me, but I think it was because: it simply was less crowded back then. By the way little B, you think you're so up on your science, well guess what B-brain, I knew since I was like 12 years old (when we used to read Weekly Reader in class or watch the Discovery channel) that the underdeveloped countries as they get developed will have less kids, but they are not going to stop having kids, and their populations have already exploded---that's what I was talking about: they are not going to stop having kids. B-brain. Stop thinking that you're so up on your science and that others are not. In my case I almost fell for your little B games. 76.208.187.11 (talk) 19:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

more messages to B
B, there are plenty of scientific breakthroughs hidden in, for example, the paintings and collages of Max Ernst (I discuss this in further detail later on this page, and I can discuss that much more). Yet to bridge that gap, from the intimations in the art to science that can be used, that in itself takes genius. Eventually B you will grow weary of dinosaurs, fish, and bird eggs, as I grew weary. I'm talking about you thinking outside your paradigms. These are messages from A to B. 76.208.170.143 (talk) 04:02, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't edit here anymore aside from these occasional unsigned edits, and B, you spend so little time at this website now also. Well I first edited here in October 2004 I think, and you first edited signed in in early 2003. By now I've gotten most of my editing desires here out of my system. B, maybe I will join Facebook next year, and if I do I may send you messages there rather than via this website. Hey B, as I explained before elsewhere, as late as June and July 2004 I could've easily went on a path more similar to yours: June 2004 for example I was at the CSULA library sketching a lateral view of the skull of an Ophiacodon, a pelycosaur from pre-dinosaur times. At that time I was thinking about getting further into some more physical science. Throughout the years I remained an evolutionist, though I looked at alternative theories, all of which were and are unconvincing. After July 2004 I turned my attention to Romanian studies and related studies: Dacians, Thracians, Romans, ancient Greeks, etc., and that was a satisfying move on my part, because I really learned a lot about linguistics and I exercised what I learned in cultural anthropology courses etc. and I learned a lot about Romania and about Romanians, Greeks, Albanians etc. and about my kin from centuries past. However getting back to paleontology, I find that I have lost a lot of the interest that I had for paleontology: I would still go to the Central Library downtown or to the CSULA library or some other library to sketch from paleontology books, but now I would mostly do so to get material for art. Even though artists like Max Ernst used paleontology textbooks for material often so that's something that has been done in many ways, but when I was thinking about doing that 7 years ago I wasn't as aware of Ernst's oeuvre, and there is still more that I want to do with such material. And of course science textbooks in general are an interesting source of material, and over the years I collected a number of science textbooks, though when I was collecting back then I didn't have collage as much in mind, rather back then I took pleasure in simply acquiring the textbooks and looking through them and reading from them. I like books B, the tactile/visual/olfactory/aesthetic etc. characteristics of books, and I hope these new generations will appreciate books also. 76.208.161.213 (talk) 20:30, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...so B, in one way or another I want to tell you a lot of what I want to tell you. Why should I lounge back and watch you in your B world, without interfering?

Likely even the fourth unidentified one was male, which would mean that all my online enemies were male. 76.208.164.235 (talk) 23:23, 3 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Look B, I was interested in pre-dinosaur mammal-like reptiles in June 2004 (and when I was a kid), and I'm still interested in those early mammal-like reptiles. And there above I have linked for you the myspaces of two mammal-like reptiles extant today. See, where you draw the line between pelycosaurs and demonic/insane specimens of H. sapiens, I prefer to compare them and study them both. Those 4 psychos are half the story of what happened to me in 2007, and you'll see how they fit in into the amazing occurrences (which began in late 2005 I would say, long before I encountered the first psycho in late December 2006) and how they aggravated me. And you'll see how this story is important for you also. 76.208.164.235 (talk) 20:31, 4 October 2010 (UTC)


 * This article in this link might cheer you up, although the red sludge accident in Hungary is something environmental also and I don't like that aspect of it, but read this article: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-eu-helpless-hungary,0,7823473.story . Some quotes from that Los Angeles Times article that I have linked for you:


 * KOLONTAR, Hungary (AP) — The disaster that buried three Hungarian villages in caustic red sludge this week is deepening the gloom of a country gripped by recession, polarization and the near-ubiquitous feeling that its people are doomed to be victims of calamity.


 * Gyoergy Hoffmann, a coal miner in Ajka, a city near the spill, called it "just the latest stroke of fate" for a country dominated for centuries by foreign powers — first the Turks, then the Austrians and finally the Soviets, who turned the country into the communist bloc's main producer of alumina.


 * Even the national anthem is downbeat. Adapted in the 19th century from a poem bearing the subtitle "From the rough centuries of the Hungarian people," it pleads to God to pity a people "long by waves of danger tossed."
 * No wonder "Hungarians always see their glass as half empty," Bohm said. Asked how Hungarians see themselves, he responds: "Constant losers."

 * ...I want to see the Romanian language continuing to flourish in the future: and not just Romanian, most of the languages of Europe. I smile at the minds of those who I come across sometimes, those who forecast that the English language will cause many languages across the world to go out of use. Well they had some arguments, but our world is already moving in another direction: countries across the world are developing flourishing cinemas, websites etc. in their own languages, and actually the English-speaking world is fading in importance in many areas. From mid 2004 as you know I began to cultivate and increase my knowledge of Romanian, as a Romanian-American. And if I move to another country, I will be a Romanian-American-plus + my new country. 76.208.186.102 (talk) 20:30, 9 October 2010 (UTC)


 * "What difference does it make whether one person like Bogdan begins contributing more to the Romanian Wiki? The Romanian language has millions upon millions of speakers and writers"---well it can only help my goal when I emphasize this issue. 76.208.165.168 (talk) 21:10, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I do like English as much as Romanian, and French as much as Romanian and English, and German almost as much as Romanian, French and English. Having grown up bilingual, to me Romanian and English are almost like two dialects---and English has so so many Latin words on top of its Germanic and Norman French layers, and so English and Romanian have so many of their words coming from the same etymons (etymological source-words), and that's not counting the words that have the same etymon going back to Proto-Indo-European, and words that are similar but don't have the same etymon: for example the French-derived English word "sport" (in the sense "to sport, gambol"), compare to Romanian "zburda", meaning "to sport", and "zburda" is structurally similar to "sport", but they don't have the same etymology: that English word is derived from an earlier disporten, from Old French desporter, from Latin dis-, and Latin porter; however the Romanian word "zburda" is of unclear etymology, not considered to be derived from Latin disporter. My favorite poets are a German-American who wrote in English and a Frenchman who got tired of being Belgian/French, and he wrote in French. I'm reading more Romanian language writers lately. Readers, note all the Latin derived words (but they are not passed down from Roman heritage in English except a few) in the English paragraphs you come across over the following days and you'll see that Romanian and English are largely dealing with the same word stock, often used differently over time. However, I want to support the continuation of the various European languages. 76.208.163.38 (talk) 21:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Busy B, Bogdan. Wild honey bees I don't know if you've heard are diminishing seriously across the u.S. and I think in other areas also, but the articles indicate that this is especially a problem in the U.S. Diminishing numbers and colonies, also bees are behaving more erratically, creating hives in strange places like in the wings of jet planes. I think Einstein said once, "If the bees go, we're next". 76.208.181.222 (talk) 23:04, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I just found that today. 76.208.183.100 (talk) 21:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you see where Rimbaud says, "Those loonies were..." And there's more that is interesting further on and also earlier in the text. 76.208.183.100 (talk) 21:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * B is so little and he presumes so much. There is always so much that is not apparent. For example, how did I find that online text by Jeremy Reed, a person who till that day I may have never heard of, or that quote from Rimbaud there which till that day I hadn't read? A friend of mine was telling me how my writings in my correspondance with him so often reminds him of Rimbaud's writings (this is often true, though some time after age 20 I had moved away from Rimbaud), and he mentioned that quote from Rimbaud as an example: "Right there where Rimbaud speaks of those maimed soldiers from the Franco-Prussian war, he sounds just like you when you speak of, for example, those loonies who attacked you online awhile ago..." He quoted the Rimbaud quote, then I googled the Rimbaud quote and found that online file with Jeremy Reed's essay. A few days ago. 76.208.181.187 (talk) 20:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * By the way, Reed's essay is something fun/interesting for me to read, but it's not scholarly. I haven't read all those preview pages that are available there yet, because I've read/partially read a number of Rimbaud studies over the years, but I still see some food for thought in Reed's essay, but there is nothing there that hasn't been said before about Rimbaud I think, but Reed manages to phrase some observations well. He also manages to say some things and personal thoughts that I disagree with, or anyway I wouldn't promote them. So B, often on this talk page I post something and it's not apparent why, nor is the context/story behind what I'm posting clear yet. This is true about large statements and casual statements, such as "Turn the party out": I actually was going to post: "My to-do list today is turn the party out...", which is a quote from a Beastie Boys song from June 2004, a line from Adrock on the song "Crawlspace", but I decided that that post would be like me saying, "Look Bogdan, while you have to be busy doing that software programming or whatever, my to-do list for today is turn the party out..." This doesn't mean that I particularly like parties/social gatherings, oh I do sometimes, but I can party driving by myself through South Pasadena or east Hollywood/Wilshire Center just after noon listening to my Cd's and tapes. 76.208.173.181 (talk) 21:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * So those loonies (for more descriptive epithets see the previous versions of this talk page) who attacked me, literally psychopaths, Bogdan too bad for you that you almost came out in their camp. Would you like to meet up with them and start a club? I might link the myspace of a third harasser also, though the 4th one as I've said is as yet unidentified. 76.208.180.158 (talk) 22:53, 18 October 2010 (UTC)


 * "...the busy atheist bee... I'm just a little shady and bull-headed and stupid in some areas." 76.208.180.158 (talk) 01:01, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

 * well B, there is only so much that I will discuss here about some topics. Those 4 loonies were very evil and insane, I told you that before and I'm telling you again. Two of them, the 2 that are the worst from the 4, those 2 list their religion as 'catholic', though they don't live like catholics should---though catholicism is mostly fantasy, it is possible to live like a catholic even these days, but I assure you those 2 were living like monsters. there is only so much that I will discuss here. such evil will not go unpunished in this world and the next, and the next. The one from tennessee is not a catholic a.f.a.i.k., though I assume that he fancies himself a christian somehow---maybe not. the 4th one, unclear, might've been of christian or jewish background, or even some other religion. whatever background, or whatever religion it leaned towards if it leaned towards any, that 4th one was also insane and evil. And if I could do it and get away with it, I would kill all 4 of them---my preferred method would be dispatching them with bullets shot through them. 76.208.176.215 (talk) 07:53, 24 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Anyway I feel better these days, it's been almost 3 years since the worst of it. If someone correlates/collates what I posted on your talk page here with what I posted elsewhere, for example at your talk page at Wiktionary, then they will have some background info about what happened, and I'll detail some more here, but only so much, then the rest will wait for another medium. Today was a good day by the way, even though I was lightly hit by a car as I crossed a street while I was walking along Vermont Avenue. By the time I got home though I forgot about getting hit by a car, and though it wasn't the lightest of hits, I had no bruise. It was a nice day in L.A., like a day from seven years back. 76.208.188.89 (talk) 04:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)


 * How much more should I discuss here? Some more, later. So work has you so busy or what? 76.208.167.1 (talk) 19:27, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey B, luis j ugarte is gay. He's part of the "noh8 campaign", www.noh8campaign.com. I expected that he was, as I mentioned before, now I have pretty clear confirmation. However I wouldn't care a jot about luis being gay, what bothers me is that he was a raging psychopath and cyber-bully and cyber-stalker. What a piece of shit luis is, if you're going to be in the noh8 campaign don't go about cyber-attacking people online, you cocksucking bitch luis. Those are the kind of two-faced psychopaths that I was dealing with. 76.208.167.1 (talk) 03:44, 4 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Where is the B? I don't sample all the flowers out there B, or I can say that those that I don't sample don't fit my definition of flower. But you B, you really have serious problems the way you avoid what I want to tell you. Serious problems, and it's very disgusting. You are quite a ***, and this planet is full of *****: you can find them in jailhouses, churches, mosques, employed at big business corporations, in the White House, in the French parliament, in Japan, and you know where else...in every country. 76.208.167.1 (talk) 02:21, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You bring most of this on yourself B, because I notified you on this talk page that I posted posts on your Wiktionary talk page, and there you can see that I was asking whether you want to install your email at your Wiktionary account because I would like to discuss some stuff with you that would be too sensitive to discuss out in the open. No reply from you. You consistently do that to various posters. You should be de-admined. You obviously don't have time to be an admin. 76.208.167.1 (talk) 21:53, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * And no stupid Bogdan, I haven't posted what I really want to discuss, I just posted background info on this talk page and at your talk page there. 76.208.167.1 (talk) 21:56, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * "so you allegedly don't smoke or drink. B, you are missing out..."---I used to drink often from 1998 to late 2002, I used to smoke marijuana often before mid 2002 back to 1998. Sometimes I'd smoke tobacco/cigarettes, sometimes I rolled my own tobacco cigarettes. After mid 2002 I didn't drink that much, nor did I smoke much tobacco or marijuana, and after mid 2002 or late 2002, I did no drugs besides marijuana (not counting some prescription drugs, aspirin, etc.). This is the truth, but see idiots like D. posted sensationalist material about me in order to rapidly get me banned. In 2003, the year when I felt as if I was feeling the effects of an over-intoxicated system, I did not intake any m.j. in 2003 and I drank almost no alcoholic drinks in 2003: I felt over-intoxicated from what I took in 2002, so I steered clear of m.j. (and other drugs) and alcoholic drinks. These past 5 years, yes I drink occasionally and sometimes smoke a little weed, but I never buy weed (even back in the days I never bought m.j., my friends had plenty), and I only smoke m.j. about an average of 3 or 4 or 5 different times a year, from friends. Rarely again I might smoke a cigarette, but I don't like cigarettes, though when I was rolling my own tobacco that was better, like I was actually smoking tobacco. I don't drink or smoke often these days, haven't done that stuff often since early 2002 I'd say. However you say that you don't drink or smoke, as in: you don't. Hmm... 76.208.167.1 (talk) 17:19, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, so you see, a conception of me being a frequent drinker from 2003 to 2010 is: far from reality. Likewise with drugs, marijuana, tobacco, etc. I'm not one of those 'take drugs to get those mind states' kind of guys, or even 'drink a lot to get those mind states'. I drink a lot rarely (after mid 2002). Marijuana rarely. Now you B, you say you don't drink or smoke, so I assume you drink & smoke much less than I do. In 2005 for example I was editing Wiki so often, the idea that I was out and about drinking and taking drugs all the time is manifestly untenable. And in 2006 there was no jump in my marijuana use (no other drugs) or alcohol intake, aside from maybe I began drinking some liquors more often. This is reality! 76.208.167.1 (talk) 18:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Now, there is a lot that I don't want to discuss here, but there is a lot that I can, synchronicities for example that can be discussed because they are not sensitive or directly part of the sensitive context. January 2010 in Los Angeles, it was a January where almost everyday was overcast and on the chilly side and it rained a lot in January 2010 in Los Angeles: I would take walks in the morning, noontime, and afternoon, through my neighborhood and adjacent neighborhoods. Solitary walks, healing my mind, observing the beauty and mystery of this part of the world (and I would do the same in Bucuresti, though I prefer the more modern and erratic not-strictly-European beauty and mystery of the parts of Los Angeles that I am discussing). In mid January 2010 on a Saturday or Sunday I walked through the LACC campus as I often do, I like the campus and also they often discard books and leave them in cardboard boxes outside their library, and when they do and I come upon them I usually look through the books to see what I can find. Throughout January though the library was closed for Winter Break because there were no classes at LACC that Winter semester because of California/L.A. budget problems. I walked on from the campus onto Vermont Avenue. There to the southeast of the campus on the other side of Vermont Ave, there is a very large parking area, a whole medium-sized city block, which when the college is in session is parking for the students. Since the mid 1980s at least as far back as I know about that, that parking area (more than half of it is just a very large parking lot uncovered out in the open) becomes a swap meet on Saturdays and Sundays. I was taken there a few times as a boy. I hadn't been there since I was under 12 years old. I decided to go there, payed the 75 cent admission or whatever I don't remember, and looked about. I found a few merchants there selling books (none of them were exclusively selling books, and books in sizable numbers are among the fare of very few of those mostly Mexican merchants there). One of them had a larger array of books so I went there and had a look. This was mid January 2010. I was looking among the Mexican (or possibly central American) guy's books and guess what I found: and B, this discovery is even more amazing because if you knew what kind of fare you find there 90% of the time you would know why I hadn't been there since I was a boy: I found a pretty rare (2500 copies printed in 1942 in New York) and collectible book: it was a book published to accompany an important, indeed one of the most important, art exhibits in the 20th century, The Art of This Century gallery exhibit in New York from 1942. The book was just there, next to 2 or 3 other art books, and among the junky books and various sundry items that the merchant was selling. The book like the exhibit is titled Art of this Century and was edited by Peggy Guggenheim who at the time was married to Max Ernst---not only that, only 2500 copies were printed and my copy that I found there is signed by Peggy Guggenheim, and dated Dec. 10th, 1942. I haven't yet deciphered who she signed the book for, the name is there though. Well the book is not signed by Max Ernst, but she was married to him at the time, my copy is a hardcover with no dust jacket and the only illustration on the front cover (there is none on the back or spine) is a line drawing by Max Ernst signed (a reproduction), but not an actual signature. The front cover is cool, it doesn't say 'Art of This Century', the front cover has no writing or design besides the line drawing by Max Ernst signed (not actually signed). There is of course an entry on Max Ernst in the book also, because he was one of the artists featured in the exhibit. I hadn't been to that open-air swap meet since I was a boy, and one half-overcast day in mid January 2010 as I'm coming out of LACC campus for a walk I decide to go there and have a look---and I find that book signed by one of Max Ernst's wives, in a time in my life when I was looking a lot at Max Ernst's art again. That is a classic synchronicity, not part of a larger sensitive context, and I gladly share that with you. I still have the book and I plan to keep it. True story yet again, and B, I am asking you to look into your mind as well as your heart as you look at the world. It's not how you think it is. It's really not. 76.208.167.1 (talk) 18:30, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * My copy has some water damage, but otherwise it's fine, no pages missing, no large tears etc. And signed by P.G. (the editor) and I haven't yet searched for how much it might be worth. I forgot to mention that I payed one dollar for it! :) I found a link where you can see the book,, that's exactly how my copy looks. The copy advertised/described in that link is described as out of stock. And I have confirmation that the book is considered rare (see link). That copy described there was not signed by P.G. [[Special:Contributions/76.208.167.1|76.208.167.1] (talk) 19:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Not only have I not dressed up that occurrence in any way to make it more of a synchronicity, I have in fact not described more details that would make it more striking. I liked you at many times B, because you were nice at times and you tried to be scientific. You should've tried a little harder, science is about investigating data. It's not about convincing yourself that atheism/no afterlife is true then reading science-fiction when you want to curl up with a book. 76.208.183.216 (talk) 18:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Now I want to begin to discuss this: "there are plenty of scientific breakthroughs hidden in, for example, the paintings and collages of Max Ernst"---I wasn't just saying that. I have many examples. Here is a lesser example: in one of Max Ernst's paintings from 1939, Le fascinant cypres (Die faszinierende Zyprese) oil paint on canvas, you can see in the sky over the surreal landscape large distinct eery lens-shaped (a lateral view of a lens) masses which are not meant to be normal clouds: they in fact look just like many lens-shaped cloudy UFOs are supposed to have looked in reports that mostly began appearing in 1947. Max Ernst's painting is from 1939. Remember a major ambition of Max Ernst's was (like Rimbaud, who Ernst would quote at length) to receive impressions from beyond, from the outer as well as the inner and from places where outer and inner become a continuum. I can quote Ernst making such statements. When I study Ernst's works, I look for that, I don't presume/assume as you may (and as Max did not, I have quotes from him) that he could not have received impressions from beyond. The lens-shaped cloud-like masses don't look like airships, dirigibles, rockets, sci-fi spaceships etc...they have no mechanical structure to them, they look like unnatural sentient lens-shaped cloud-like masses, very prominent in the painting, with all the eeriness of the "watchers" and those UFOs reported mostly from 1947 on, especially those reports where the UFOs are cloudy grayish lens-shaped masses (there are many such reports). The painting shows that he picked up on something that was to later be so evident, something that would soon be on so many peoples' minds and on the world scene. If you see the painting you'll see what I'm talking about, try to find the same painting that I'm talking about, because he used that same title for pretty different works. The one I'm referring to is oil on canvas, 1939, 72 X 91 cm. I have not seen anything like them in any other Max Ernst painting, nor are they part of a common surrealist motif. It was an inspiration of the moment from Max Ernst. 76.208.183.216 (talk) 19:14, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * For those who don't get what I'm talking about, I should let loose and get into more detail. First of all you have to see the 1939 painting that I'm talking about, not necessarily the actual painting in real life. Second of all, I should discuss the rest of the painting and how the lens-shaped cloud-like objects fit in in the context. The context/the composition is: the foreground of the picture is the continuous amalgamation of shapes and patterns forming the continuous "landscape" and "trees", trees which (Le fascinant cypres, The Fascinating Cypress), as the title tells us, mostly evoke or represent cypress trees, trees known for being associated with death, and one look at the painting and you know that that ominous uneasy association was intended by Max. The sky is the background and fills the middle portion of the painting to the top, though at the right and left corners the "trees" reach the top. In the middle portion filled by the background sky, there are light normal cloud formations, and near the top away from the normal clouds and much more in the foreground (though still in the background compared to the trees) are three lens-shaped opaque-ish masses, too lens-shaped to be clouds. These three lens-shaped masses do have precursors in Max Ernst's art, though it was an inspiration of the moment when he added them to this 1939 painting. I have found the prototypes of the lens-shaped masses added to Le fascinant cypres: they are the lens-shaped eyes of Système de monnaie solaire, 1925 (Like many/most of Max Ernst's works, titled in French; English translation: Solar-Money System), itself an inspired work (frottage with pencil on paper), and La Roue de la lumière, 1925(English translation: The Wheel of Light) (frottage with pencil on paper). Look at those works also. So the older inspiration was: lens-shaped eyes on more-or-less vacuous expanses. Now, the cypress-landscape in the 1939 painting is to be compared to so many other paintings of Max Ernst, particularly to be compared to Ernst's painting from 1942, Europe after the Rain which uses the same kind of landscape to evoke a war-devasted post-war Europe. I'll discuss that in more detail later. So here follows my offer: Le fascinant cypres from 1939 can be viewed as a prophetic/psychic/"Freudian" vision of war-devastated parts of Europe after the war, death, and destruction, and the cypress tree-like shapes are there evoking death and destruction, and the blue sky is there, and the cloud-like "eyes" are there, as if they are zipping by after the war to have a look: and this is it: in 1947 after World War II, UFOs began to be seen in very large numbers throughout the world. 76.208.163.38 (talk) 02:25, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * In those links above you can see two Max Ernst pencil on paper frottages, where you see the direct precursors of the lens-shaped semi-cloud-like masses from the 1939 painting. That Max intended those lens-shaped cloud-like masses in the 1939 painting to suggest "eyes in the skies" is evident: and the "eyes" in the 1939 painting are floating over a scene which in later paintings directly evokes WWII-devastated parts of Europe (Europe After the Rains, 1942 etc.). 76.208.163.38 (talk) 02:40, 16 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I haven't yet found an image of the 1939 painting online, so I'm linking the very similar 1942 painting. In that 1942 painting, you can see the cypress-tree shapes still there as in Le fascinant cypres from 1939, also you can see a vestige of the lens-shaped opaque-ish masses from 1939 in the less distinctly lens-shaped white cloud in the sky left of green cypress shape, as well as a lens-shaped gulf of deeper blue sky right of green cypress shape. But you should see the 1939 painting. 76.208.163.38 (talk) 07:42, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm feeling a lot better these days. The worst of the harassment happened three years ago, but it was only in early March 2010 that I went back and contacted an investigator and really figured out who one of the at-that-time unidentified disguised harassers was, as I explained elsewhere. Two others I had already identified years ago. 76.208.171.69 (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2010 (UTC)


 * In the meanwhile look what I found: from David Stephen Calonne's introduction to Charles Bukowski: Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook: "Indeed, part of the failure of American critics to properly take Bukowski's measure is their ignorance of his essentially European cultural sensibility. This explains as well his success in Germany and France, where both intellectuals and "common readers" were quick to comprehend his originality and his place in the European philosophical tradition. One might imagine Charles Bukowski at a bistro in Paris with Bataille or trading sardonic, astringent aphorisms with the great Romanian writer E.M. Cioran more readily than one can picture him in the company of his American contemporaries Saul Bellow or John Updike."---You can find each word from that quote in the introduction to Charles Bukowski: Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook, City Lights 2008. Also Bukowski in his first published short story from 1944 describes himself (speaking as the narrator of the story who in that case stands for himself, see the story) as an Eastern European. I'll detail that later. 76.208.171.69 (talk) 07:07, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Well B, see for example Ernst's statements in Ernst, Beyond Painting, pages 7 to 11. I don't feel like typing all that for a closed-minded *** like you. 76.208.171.69 (talk) 03:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Moldova
Hello,

I noticed that you are a fellow active member of WikiProject Moldova. Some time ago I created a new userbox for the project and proposed that it become official. Since no responses have been made as of yet, I am hoping to spark a discussion at Template talk:WikiProject Moldova User on the matter.

Mulțumesc,

Despre MD, din nou
Salut. La Meta are loc o discuție despre închiderea definitivă/șteregerea Wikipediei moldovenești. Îți scriu mai mult pentru că am făcut referire la scriptul creat de tine pentru transliterare. Poate vrei să dai o raită pe acolo să citești discuția și argumentele (nu e foarte multă literatură ca în discuțiile anterioare). Ideea de bază e că această Wikipedie ar trebui ștearsă și, în eventualitatea în care vom avea solicitări pt alfabetul chirilic (ceea ce nu cred) la Wikipedia în română, vom adăuga o opțiune de transliterare în preferințe. Ești disponibil pentru asta? Tehnic știu că se poate, dar cel puțin am avea nevoie să știm că îl poți instala când/dacă va fi cazul, sau că îl poți pune la dispoziția ro.wiki când/dacă va fi nevoie. Zic asta pentru că văd că în ultima perioadă nu ai mai fost așa activ (teoretic poate să facă altcineva scriptul încă odată, dar mă gândesc că asta nu are rost dacă poți să-l oferi tu). Apropo, ar mai fi și nevoie de o modificare în script din câte am văzut eu, pentru că Wikipedia română a trecut la diacriticele cu virgulă în loc de cele vechi cu sedilă și scriptul tău văd că nu recunoaște noile caractere (ș-virgulă și ț-virgulă; pentru asta vezi ro:Wikipedia:Diacriticele vechi și noi). Mulțumesc anticipat. Te rog răspunde-mi pe cât posibil pe pagina de discuție de la Wikipedia în română. --Danutz (talk) 21:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Timbru Codreanu.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Timbru Codreanu.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:16, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Request for comment
This message is being sent to you because you have previously edited the Naming conventions (use English) page. There is currently a discussion that may result in a significant change to Wikipedia policy. Specifically, a consensus is being sought on if the policies of WP:UCN and WP:EN continues to be working policies for naming biographical articles, or if such policies have been replaced by a new status quo. This discussion is on-going at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English), and your comments would be appreciated. Dolovis (talk) 16:55, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Nazi stuff on wikiquote
Hi, and sorry to bother you. I recently noticed the proliferation of wikiquotes from Codreanu, A. C. Cuza, Paulescu etc., which are basically cumulative propaganda for antisemitic theories, and present the most abhorrent manifestations of Romanian fascism as merely Christan movements (see for instance here). Also, they proliferate links to neonazi sites, and are themselves proabably a pet project of the guys who gave us this or this. I don't plan to get myself a wikiquote account just for this, but is there anyone there we can approach who can curb this phenomenon with a modicum of competence? Dahn (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I did a bit of a cleanup on the fascist links at Codreanu, A. C. Cuza and Paulescu, now the problem is that the quotes about Codreanu are selected to put him in a positive light. bogdan (talk) 19:29, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. And I can tell you for sure that the Nagy Talavera one is taken out of context - the only really positive thing the author has to say about Codreanu is related to his charisma, the rest of the book (which I have read several times) is highly critical of all Legionary leaders, to say the least. The quote is there to make it seem like Talavera endorsed Codreanu, when he is merely talking about the impression this tall handsome guy made on him when he was just a kid, and was not really supposed to be there at all. (Also note the idiotic "a Hungarian Jew" note after his name, which screams out the tiresome "everybody loves Codreanu" slogan.) I also don't know why the hell we bother with quotes from other Nazis, such as Evola, and the Legionary propaganda of The Anti-Humans - these are simply not quotable, if anything like wikipedia policies applies on Wikiquote.
