Iancu de Hunedoara
please see the last edit summaries of this article, the hungarians are erasing great sources but instead are pushing forward their hungarian propaganda with obscure sources and denieing Iancu's romanian origin.

 * I deleted your addition because it bassicaly says the same thing as in the other paragraph . Cheers Rezistenta (talk) 21:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Western world
Hi,

Will you please check the article? According to the article Turkey is a part of the Western world, but not so Romania and Bulgaria.--79.116.53.253 (talk) 08:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Transylvania
"The Romanized Dacian inhabitants either moved into the mountains and preserved their culture or migrated southward. The area then was repopulated by peoples from the Romanized lands south of the Danube River or from the Balkans." This is disputed by Romanian and Hungarian historians, and is against the rest part of the article (library of congres), which is NPOV, reliable english source. Please, first add your ENGLISH, RELIABLE sources to prove your statements, than make changes. I will add a neutral info into the lead. (from Library of congres), please check it. Also, to keep neutrality there should be a picture showing Transylvania in Hungary too (not only in Romania). Thank youBaxter9 (talk)

John Hunyadi
Thanks for your feedback, Carpaticus! It really is quite astounding how keenly fought over that thing is. As far as I can tell, it seems clear that in John's day and age the problem was not the ethnic background of his family, but much rather his lack of prestigious ancestors, especially as he and his son automatically were compared with the Luxembourgs and the Habsburgs (forcing Matthias to concoct both his "Roman" and "imperial" ancestries). In a way, the modern struggle between Romanian and Hungarian nationalists about who may claim him as theirs bears a striking resemblance to this, only on the level of nations: The way I see it, both Hungarians and Romanians feel they need a strong, autonomous ruler figure in illo tempore, as it was a time of failing prestige for both their nations in the face of Ottoman ascent. Comparable yearning for and claiming of national heroes in Germany and Switzerland has mostly abated since the war (e.g. nobody in Switzerland gets steamed up about Winkelried anymore), and has in its own turn become a subject of historical studies. So it is a real pity that the WP page on Hunyadi seems to be stuck in such a phase, especially as John was indeed a very fascinating figure. :-( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trigaranus (talk • contribs) 14:38, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Census
Given the prevailing conditions (war, refugee exodus), the 1919/20 counts may not be the most reliable, but I thank you for adding in a source. - Biruitorul Talk 15:49, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's the reason why the 1910 census is prevailing, although it is said that it was manipulated by Hungarian authorities quite a lot. Carpaticus (talk) 16:47, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

First, because specific numbers usually require citations; and second, because Jews + Serbs + Armenians +Roma +Slovaks +Czechs +Croats probably numbered more than 0.4%. - Biruitorul Talk 21:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

I guess you made 3 reverts in about 1 hour, NOT me. Squash Racket (talk) 11:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

SPI case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Sockpuppet investigations/Bonaparte. Thank you.  Syn  ergy 21:12, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I do not know anything about user Bonaparte and I have nothing in common with him. Just because I had written on some Romanian topics does not justify that my account is a sock puppet of Bonaparte. Carpaticus (talk) 20:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
